Good value

#11 of 45 Harry Potter sets with 500–999 pieces

Hedwig gives about 121 pieces per $10, among the most of any Harry Potter set with 500–999 pieces, where 83 is typical. Plastic per dollar is right at par and one minifigure is well below the usual rate, but builders rate it 4.1 of 5 and at $39.99 it costs about 11% less than similar contents, so it’s good value.
