The Burrow is one of the new range of LEGO Harry Potter sets.
I like this set. There’s a lot to it. The Burrow, as you may know if you’re a Harry Potter fan, is the home of the Weasleys. In this set, LEGO have done a fantastic job on the structure of the house. It looks so realistic and I love the whole colour scheme. The chocolate and red go together quite nicely, as does the blue windows.
There are so many little, but effective, details inside the house too, such as an oven with a stove, a sink and a drawer with knives and forks. I also like the fact that LEGO have added in a small swamp, which adds to the feel of the set.
There are six minifigures included (Harry Potter, Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Fenrir Greyback, and Bellatrix Lestrange), as well as a frog, pig, and two owl animal minifigures.
This set will be adored by Harry Potter and LEGO fans alike as there is so much to it.
