Below average

#31 of 43 Harry Potter sets with 200–499 pieces

Pieces per $10 are right on typical here (75 against 74), but the other numbers fall short for a 200–499-piece Harry Potter set. Plastic per dollar is about 20% below the norm, three minifigures for $49.99 is a below-usual rate, and the set costs roughly 15% more than its contents typically sell for, around $43.
