Average

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

Fourteen minifigures give the East Wing a better figure rate than most big Harry Potter sets, about 5.1 per $100 against a typical 3.5, and its plastic per dollar is exactly typical. Pieces per $10 run a little low (79 against 84) and early builders rate it 3.8 of 5, below most of its group, so it comes out average.
