Below average

#19 of 24 Harry Potter sets with 1,000+ pieces

Pieces per $10 are good for a big Harry Potter set, about 91 against a typical 84, and plastic per dollar is close to average. What sinks it is the rating, 3.5 of 5 from 13 early builders and among the lowest in its group, plus three minifigures at roughly half the usual rate.
