The verdict

I love that LEGO finally gave the Dueling Club scene its own little corner, and getting Gilderoy Lockhart as a minifigure alongside Snape, Harry, and Draco made me genuinely happy the moment I opened the bag.

This is a connector piece for the bigger Hogwarts Castle Modular System, so I'll be honest, on its own the build is over almost before it starts. It's for the completist who's already chasing the full castle wall, or for a Chamber of Secrets fan who just wants that specific foursome on the shelf without buying anything bigger.

Best for: modular castle collectors and Lockhart or Snape minifig fans who want the Dueling Club scene without the bigger sets

The full review

What it is

I'll say it plainly, the reason to want this one is the little lineup of people inside it. Getting Harry, Draco, Snape, and Gilderoy Lockhart together in a single 157 piece set is the kind of thing that made me stop and smile, because Lockhart in particular doesn't show up in plastic form very often. The build itself is the Dueling Club platform from the Chamber of Secrets, with a small catapult mechanism and a couple of collectable wall portraits tucked in, and it goes together in one quick sitting.

The catch

Where I have to be honest with you is on scale and value. This is one of the small connecting modules in LEGO's Hogwarts Castle Modular System, meaning it was designed to slot alongside a dozen other pieces rather than stand alone, and at this size the price per piece runs noticeably higher than you'd expect from a themed set that isn't leaning on minifigures to justify it. Builders on Brickset gave it a middling 3.7 out of 5, and the common thread in the feedback is exactly that, it's charming but slight.

Who it's for

If you're already collecting the modular castle wall piece by piece, this one is an easy yes, especially for the Lockhart figure alone. If you're a casual Harry Potter fan looking for one satisfying build to display on its own, I'd point you toward a bigger set instead, this one is a nice extra, not a main event.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build is fast and simple, which fits its job as a connector module rather than a centerpiece. You're mostly stacking the small dueling platform, fitting the catapult mechanism together, and setting the little framed portrait accents into the wall section. It's the kind of build I'd hand to a kid who wants to feel the satisfaction of finishing something in one sitting.

The real payoff is in the bag of minifigures. Getting Gilderoy Lockhart molded as a minifig is genuinely rare, he doesn't turn up often, and pairing him with Snape's proper robes, Harry, and Draco in their school uniforms gives you a tidy little Chamber of Secrets cast for one modest price. Piece count is light at 157, so this is a set where the figures carry the value more than the brick count does.
