LEGO 75947 Harry Potter Hagrid’s Hut: Buckbeak’s Rescue Playset with Hippogriff Figure, Toy Gift Idea for Kids Age 8+

This is the second set from the Lego Wizarding World 2019 releases that represents a scene from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It features six minifigures: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Rubeus Hagrid, Cornelius Fudge (the Minister of Magic), and Walden Macnair (the Executioner). Set 75947 has 496 pieces (including a light brick to illuminate the fireplace), but with a £49.99 price tag it's a little on the expensive side for the size of the completed model. However, the two rooms within Hagrid's hut have many intricate details and accessories, including a table with chairs, a writing desk, a storage chest, Hagrid's armchair, and several items hanging from the ceiling. Outside the hut, a lovely little model of the Hippogriff named Buckbeak stands chained to a post within a pumpkin patch, with several different sized pumpkins scattered around. Overall, a really nice stand-alone set which doesn't necessarily require further purchases to expand its entertainment value, and taking the cost into consideration, it just about balances out its value for money.

We are big fans of lego and also of Harry Potter, so this set is right up our street. My youngest is currently powering through the books at a rate of knots and is completely hooked, so the latest HP lego sets came at the perfect time for us. I must confess though that this set was purchased for me (though I might let the kids play with it or at least admire it 😜) and I am part way through building it. It has been a really enjoyable build so far and I'm loving the little details. My favourite feature is the light brick. I'm impressed with how you activate it by pressing on the chimney, which in turn lights up the fire and casts a warm glow on the dragon's egg! This is one of my favourite HP lego sets and no doubt we will end up buying them all!

We are having a Harry Potter marathon during lockdown and this was bought for an 8 year old. It’s really good quality, loads of great little details and he had no trouble building it by himself. (Anyone else find that annoying that they can’t take over the Lego building now their kids are old enough to do it themselves?!)

I purchased this for my niece’s birthday present as she is finally a Harry Potter fan. Like any of the Harry Potter Lego, it is pretty cool & fun to assemble. The only thing with this one is the value for money. It really doesn’t look like a lot for £40

Another great set of lego from the Harry Potter range. As always it has a hefty price tag but unfortunately that goes with the brand. There is a good selection of characters in this one as well as a number of on theme pieces which make it worth the investment for any fan.

This is a really good set in itself. The building is a nice design with some engaging small details that makes it just a bit more magical for the kids, like the light-up fireplace, and enough figures to play out various adventures. But as with some of the other small and medium Harry Potter sets, it feels like quite a lot of money for what you get. About a quarter or a third less than the listed RRP would feel about right.

I bought the Lego Hagrid's Hut for my wife's birthday. As a very big fan of Harry Potter she has enjoyed building a number of the other Harry Potter Lego models. This was easily built in an afternoon and fits in perfectly with the Great Hall and Clock Tower she has already built and has a good level of detail including a fireplace that lights up when a section of the roof is pressed. You are paying a premium for the Harry Potter name and that is why I have marked value as only four stars, but it does make for a happy wife and therefore a happy me.

This is an excellent addition to the Lego Harry Potter series. It was fun to construct, and has lots of lovely details. The only thing that has lowered my value for money rating is that it is now for sale at £10 less!
