Product Description
Enter the Dark Forest if you dare. Help rescue Harry Potter and Ron from the giant spider Aragog in the Dark Forest. Pull the secret lever and they will be trapped in the spider's web. Then open the secret panel in the tree to reveal a spell book. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley included. Set contains 178 pieces.Rubeus Hagrid

This set comes with Harry Potter & Ron Weasly minifigs, a giant Aragog, a green baseplate, mini spiders & their webs, and a number of forest themed pieces. That's about it. Construction was very easy and didn't take more than a few minutes as Aragog snaps together quickly and the rest of the set isn't too sophisticated. I did like the tree that opens and can hide an owl except for the fact that putting the owl in after building the tree is very difficult. Rubeus Hagrid On the green baseplate you create a trapping mechanism to get Ron caught up in the spiders and their webs. This is accomplished with a string that, when pulled, lets the webs fall forward. Sometimes they fall forward on their own. I gave this set 4 stars because it is Harry Potter and it is Lego. . .but there's not much else to recommend it unless you count Aragog and the baseplate. If it was a little cheaper, I don't think I would mind,Rubeus Hagrid but when you buy every single set you start looking at whether or not they really fulfill the value they promise. Set #4728 is 128 pieces. . .if you aren't keen on having a complete set then you might want to steer clear of this set because you can get Harry and Ron minifigs in Escape from Privet Drive. Side Note: I'm not fond of spiders so perhaps that has made me somewhat biased against this set. If you love spiders, then I guess a giant Aragog is just what you're looking for. Rubeus Hagrid
