I personally love this set because it has one of my favorite characters, Snape. The figure looks like it should glow in the dark but it doesn't which is good because I never remember reading about Snape having a glow in the dark head. :) The other included figure is Ron as well as Trevor, Neville's frog. I would have loved it if instead of Ron we actually had a minifig of Neville himself but I suppose that wasn't possible. There is a ghost (perhaps the bloody baron?) hidden in this set as well. This set actually connects to the castle and other castle sets which is why there are extra supporting pieces on the top of this set. The hinged area was a bit difficult to build on a carpeted floor, you have to build on a hard surface. The area where the cauldron is swings shut to make the classroom somewhat more enclosed. There is also a door and a key to get to class. Snape an Trevor are great figures to have and you can never have too many Ron figures! Great replay value and rather durable. Just make sure you don't lose Trevor since he is a very small piece!When I got this toy, I got it for [price of item. Now amazon.com has reduced the price in half. The mini-figs in this set are Professor Snape and Ron Weasley. There are 163 pieces in the set and is for ages 7-12. I, honestly, am not a big fan of Harry Potter, more of Legos, but this set is filled with fun stuff. The best part of this set (and all of Legos) is that you can rebuild your toy into anything you want, as long as you have the pieces. I built other models with this set and it all came out great. There are a couple of "hidden" compartments in this toy, like the scroll which is under the pot, and the ghost behind the shelf, stuff like that. Easy instructions, fun, recommended for Harry Potter and Lego fans.If your as crazy for Harry Potter as I am you've got to have Snape's Class! With this set you can bring Snape's potions class to life. Ron is ready to make potions with his cauldron and wand. But Watch out for the ghost whose hiding behind the shelf of ingredients or he might make Ron spill his potion. Then Snape might have to give him detention! Includes Ron, Snape(whose face glows in the dark!), a ghost, lots of potion bottles, Ron's pet rat Scabbers, Trevor the Toad and even a few surprises. If you want to tell the story of Harry Potter with your LEGOS, then Snape's Class is a must have!This set, is cool, but it has the same format as the Chamber of Winged keys set. It should at least have a different design. Anyways the characters in this set are:>Snape>Ron Weasley>and a ghostThe set also includes an owl, Trevor the toad, a spider on a web, and some cool little things. It has a goblet, potion bottles, a lego piece with a picture of a bookshelf with potion bottles, a cup, cauldron with a yellow spoon/scoop, and even some cool little secret places. Under the cauldron is a piece of parchment with writing. I think it's potion ingredients on a list. There is even a table that opens up to find Trevor hiding. The door to enter the class in a nice touch, along with the brick-patterned frame around it. This set does look creepy, and like a dungeon. This set takes about 30 minutes to put together, and is difficult to put together on a carpeted area. See, the set has lego hinges to close up the set to look smaller, and trying to put them on on a carpet floor is hard. When you put on other pieces on the set, the hinges come out of the lego base that they are on. It gets frustrating, so to avoid that, just build on a hard surface. I was surprised that Harry didn't come in this set(all though he comes out in almost all the other sets). I mean, who is Snape going to pick on? And what's up with the ghost? Well, you can always use a Harry from another set, if you have one. And you can only get Professor Snape and the ghost in two sets: this one, and Hogwarts Castle. I'm just glad that Lego made a classroom personally for Snape's Class, because imagine pretending the lego set of Hogwarts Classrooms was his class! That would be scary since Hogwarts Classrooms has very odd "colorful" colors! Anyways, this set is supposed to be a dungeon so, I think it does capture the creep scene!I had been saving up for this set for several weeks and when I purchased it I was pleasantly surprised. Firstly I made the top of the box into a hinged lid, so I didn't loose any of the small pieces. I had lots of fun building it and it only took about 20 minutes max to build. The small pieces such as the potion bottles and the book were really cool, and gave that extra detail! I have given it 5 out of 5 for durability as all the pieces interlock to make it a sturdy set. It is a bit small though and you can easily knock things over especially the cauldron! I was absolutely delighted when I started playing with it and Ron has had many adventures! Snape was not too pleased when Ron knocked over his cauldron on the stand or when he added the wrong ingredients to his potion! This is a cracking set and Harry, Ron and Hermione have had many adventures and lost many points from Gryffindor too! This set is a must for all lego and Harry Potter collectors alike! I hope to collect the whole set!Recently I bought it not because I don't have one. I do have one but to add one more to my Harry Potter collection to create other different lab... actually I was making it into a room in which Snape enchanted to protect the Sorceror's Stone. Just a different look and in between the Chamber of the Winged Keys and the Final Challenge. I put it on top of the Forbidden Corridor when I was storing/displaying it. Still more FUN! Hee hee... Can't wait for more. You can do anything with Lego!I purchased the entire Harry Potter Lego System. My son who is 10 years old couldn't wait to put it all together. He found it challenging, entertaining and was so thoroughly engrossed in the experience that I had to keep going back and getting the rest of the pieces for him. I didn't care about the cost, only that my son found putting this together so much fun.He enjoys the Harry Potter, books, book tapes, plush toys, and his favorite are the Lego's.Thank you for making this available..This game is great fun i recommend to buy itWie schon gesagt fördert Lego den Spieldrang der Kinder und dies sollte in allen Varianten gefördert werden.Die Haltbarkeit ist super und kann für Nachfolgende Kinder verwendet werden.Der Spaß kommt auch nicht zu kurz und auch pädagogisch wertvoll.
