LEGO Harry Potter Sorting Hat (4701) Reviews
This was one of the first sets I got for christmas two years ago (along with Flying Lessons). It's very small and inexpensive, but it got me addicted to the lego sets. You can sort all of your lego characters into different houses again and again until you're satisfied with the result. You can set it up in all kinds of ways (like with a vertical spinning wheel) and even rig it to always pick a certain house! (with a vertical wheel, put any lego on the back of the house you want!) A small but enjoyable addition to any lego collection.
Once you put this together, what exactly do you do with it? My kids liked it, but forgot about it 2 days later.
But you can at least use the pieces for something else. However, as Legos go, it is inexpensive[*],and makes a decent stocking stuffer.
[* Apparently the price of this item went way up since I first wrote this. My review applies to a product that had cost about $5.]
The hat is cool, although it looks like a witch's hat rather than the sorting hat. Harry has to remove his hair and then pull the hat down over his eyes. I took the set apart and added the pieces to my castle. Evil twin Harry in the black hat and black cape versus Good Harry with the trendy purple cape makes for exciting duels.
Sorting Hat is a great little set. It's outfitted with Harry, the hat, and some sort of wheel that you turn to decide where Harry's gonna go. Sometimes I think the thing's rigged because it always seems to land on Gryffindor. In the Times when I don't get the big G, I like to help it land on Slytherin. When I'm not in a Harry Potter mood, I have Harry play Wheel of Fortune with it and pretend each house is worth a different sum of money.
All-in-all, sorting hat is a nice little set with not a lot to do, but still fun.
Ok I have always been a clueless Lego person but my seven year old godson and I had a blast putting this together. He loves all things Harry Potter so it made for a great gift. I think these Lego groups are awesome cause you know what it is supposed to look like when you are done. It is so much better than just getting a tub of Lego's.
