What do you guys think of the surprise?

[@stormbrix8104]

Nice surprise!! Love your videos!!!

[@TheBrickDudeStudios]

I like it. I really like the Harry Potter minifig. and I like the print.

[@dombyox__2757]

İt nice i will buy it once it comes where i live but even mario sets didnt come

[@emperormilk_]

Lucky

[@wcglion3080]

Ashnflash I really like it, it’s just something that wasn’t needed but is great that they included it

[@MemeMan99]

I’m gonna need a new house to fit this

[@CrashByDaylight]

I'm gonna need a new kidney and a new house

[@TheRealJetJaguar]

I'm gonna need new legs, a new kidney, and a new house

[@HeLLO-gp5rt]

I’m gonna need a new back I finished building the diner

[@MemeMan99]

Croabbit And you killed the joke, congrats on milking, stealing, and killing a joke that used to be funny, but now it isn’t.

[@Ashnflash]

😂😂😂

[@autominestudios1579]

LEGO: OK, keep the surprise between us! Ashnflash: I'm about to end this mans whole career

[@lrbarchives]

I would get this but there's two reasons I won't 1. I don't have the space 2. I don't have the money

[@Ashnflash]

True

[@brandonbaker5446]

Yeah that makes sense

[@ieyemyeyes]

Same lol

[@largol33t1]

It's a bit ridiculous that you have to buy Ollivanders AGAIN. If they had omitted it, the price would probably be less than $350. This is too expensive for most people. Note: the Lego store in my city probably sold only one. They have a stack of the sets and nobody touched it.

[@ieyemyeyes]

largol33t1 what do you mean again? Do you mean the old 2010 Diagon alley?

[@soltandvinegar]

“I guess these details would mean more for someone who went to Universal.” Book fans:

[@marsbars2633]

Not even a Harry Potter fan but I really want this set

[@plebb1096]

Same I like harry potter but I Fricking love these sets

[@liamforster4279]

Finally the review I’ve waited for what felt like forever for this

[@Ashnflash]

Sorry lol. It crashed a quarter through

[@liamforster4279]

Ashnflash consider it forgiven

[@deepseacocoon]

Thanks for showing the setup at 3:49 that’s what I was most interested to see

[@mmh4378]

This is hands down my favorite set ever. Too bad I’ll never get it 😆

[@altaccount7525]

Same lol

[@thegreatskinkpriest8104]

Quality quidditch supplies sells robes other than for the hogwarts houses, that’s why there are orange and grey and other colored ones. I wish we got sets like this for Lord of the Rimgs or Star Wars.

[@Ryan-vi5mz]

LEGO... THIS IS WHAT WE WANT FOR STAR WARS

[@2uitdoesntmatter]

Have you not seen the leaked images for the new DTC set?

[@Ryan-vi5mz]

FartimusPrime DTC?

[@onespicysauce6599]

Ryan The Skrull direct to consumer

[@KerioFive]

Mos Eisley Cantina friend!

[@lionelwood6032]

You got the mos eisley, leave us this 😅😅

[@Nightwing751]

I live in the UK. So it’s strange hearing “sorcerers stone” as for us it’s: “Philosophers stone”. 😄

[@fabricks5090]

Same!

[@icemav5740]

Well that is the correct name

[@latehome_]

No one can say Sorcerers, that is the cheap plastic knock off name

[@largol33t1]

That's because the books sold in the US were under the name "sorcerers stone."

[@latehome_]

@@largol33t1 I know it's a joke

[@al0742]

I think they should have 3 expansions to this set: Gringotts Knockturn Alley with Borgin and Burkes Madam Malkin's and the Leaky Cauldron

[@parkerroland621]

I think that they should also add the magical menagerie alongside madam Malkins

[@KerioFive]

🙌🏻 take my money!!!

[@KerioFive]

They Must do Gringotts at least and have the Dragon on top!

[@szeyee845]

Gringotts is fulfilled

[@ranimationstudios697]

As John Hammond would say: They spared no expense!

[@haydensocha6814]

Ranimation Studios except for charging you $400

[@garylerma8214]

@@haydensocha6814 for over 3000 pieces. It could have been worse

[@cameronhodgetts920]

Except for the fact that Hammond spared tons of expense. Such as hiring Newman, not paying Newman enough money for doing his job, not paying for better security that one grizzled northerner with a shotgun, and not putting locking mechanisms on the vehicle doors

[@samuelflath3202]

as long as lego makes stickers in a 400 $ set but not in any minecraft set this sentence stays untrue

[@KerioFive]

samuel flath minecraft doesnt have stickers? Yet this does? 😕

[@superlee091]

I was extremely excited when I got news of this set and it is indeed pretty incredible when they are all connected! I love the Weasley shop the most. The other ones are just ok tbh... My honest opinion is that after spending 30min watching the review... I feel this set is actually a little underwhelming for the price... not to mention the 1 million stickers it comes with... Attack on the Burrow is still a far superior design and value for money compared to this also quite amazing set... just my opinion

[@SimoneOconnell]

i have to admit i agree for the amount of space it takes up I think there are far more intresting lego models out there

[@brookkennedy5931]

I ordered it the minute it was released can’t wait for it to arrive 😍

[@danielsiler5185]

They should make an updated LEGO Harry Potter game with all the new models

[@LandJYT]

Daniel Siler Yeah but next they should do Lego Middle Earth

[@krackalakinkayden3361]

And add crimes of grindlewald

[@rotti_13]

And they should add voice acting

[@LandJYT]

Tyler S NO

[@ieyemyeyes]

Would be pretty cool

[@HawaiianLegoMom]

Harry alternate expression is from the second movie after he takes a wrong turn and ends up in knockturn alley. It’s fabulous! What a great set and thank for the awesome review!

[@Tom37824]

Ash: Sent from lego Me in my head: stole from Ryan

[@Jordan-yx2ek]

Maybe they are the same person 😳

[@Tom37824]

JordanFett 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@TheRealJetJaguar]

=O

[@Ashnflash]

Yep. I drove down to the most COVID ridence state and stole it from him.

[@Tom37824]

Ashnflash Haha!

[@emetcamino3851]

The set has grown on me. I was expecting something more from the surprise and there's some stuff from the set that I don't love but overall, I really like the set.

[@jasondylan9230]

Man, it must be nice when Lego sends ya these big sets like this. So much money saved😄

[@TheBrickBuildingEnthusiast]

The amount of detail in this is phenomenal!

[@MellowWell0w]

Thanks for such a detailed review! That’s a great load of effort. Loved that you showed us there are a few ways to display it, taking the time to show us the signs/stickers and more about the architecture/build. Really enjoyed your review. Can’t wait to get it!

[@okeyb0i974]

I got 8 minutes in... I refuse to watch the rest! I’m very jealous that you have this! And I’m gonna want it more if I keep watching

[@MonkeyFace2421]

This set is so awesome!!! By far my favorite Harry Potter set!

[@roryalexander1898]

Drinking Game: Between 6:40 and 8:53 take a shot every time Ash says 'Warnd' Sorry, I'm too British for my own good, please don't kill me for saying this, BUT WAND IS PRONOUNCED 'WOND'!

[@Acq275]

He did pronounce it correctly

[@roryalexander1898]

Sometimes he did

[@roryalexander1898]

The second one was a 'warnd'

[@dazblue5515]

It looks absolutely beautiful... sadly i'll never own it! One thing that disappoints me is that they still haven't given us a new Broomstick mould. Also, will say that you keep mentioning Universal Studios, but that Diagon Alley is an adaptation of the actually Diagon Alley - I'd look more at the street set up in the Studios Tour here in the UK, which is the set from the movies.

[@Lucas-zc3cc]

I really want this set. I just wish the Leaky Cauldron or Borgin and Burke’s were included. Maybe future sets? I’m not really disappointed about Gringotts Bank because that will most likely be a set next year for Deathly Hallows. Anyway, great review, as always!

[@milward4563]

I absolutely adore this set 🤩. IMPULSE BUY!

[@Nightwing9597]

“Why are you worried about You-Know-Who when you SHOULD be worried about YOU-NO-POO!! The constipation sensation that’s gripping the nation!!”

[@jackstudios5780]

A yes a fellow half-blood prince book fan. *You have my respect.*

[@Merick-nn8ry]

This thing is amazing, and as a Harry Potter fan, I love the detail put into the set.

[@Shep-1701]

That big purple and orange thing on the side of Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes is supposed to be a Puking Pastel I think. Orange side to make you sick, purple side to make you better

[@hellarrownoe6410]

Ever since they started making this new Harry Potter sets. They get better with every wave of sets.

[@mikewilhelm2977]

Dngit now i need to buy Eight of them soi can have a whole Quidditch team

[@ieyemyeyes]

**3,200$ later**

[@KerioFive]

its cheaper to just do Slytherin vs Gryffindor LOL

[@micky12347]

Thank you so much for making this video I'm gonna get it for Christmas

[@mexicanlevi4728]

Awesome it looks awsome keep up the great work

[@MisterRubbernose]

WhaT You got this! Great review! This is set is sooo good. I really want this one. And I really hope there are expansions! It really seems like there will be.

[@davidbolt8343]

Comment from may 2021: He absolutely called it about the Lockhart going to come in chamber of secrets sets

[@sithcollects1078]

Good vid Ash and I know I'm quite late but congratulations on 100k well deserved

[@phasemollasis6748]

23:06 I think this is a reference to Peeves the Poltergeist he is a book character and Fred and George’s last Taunt to Umbridge

[@rosiegirl7112]

Great review. Thanks for showing all the details - it really just makes it harder to resist getting this one!!

[@lssproductions3180]

This is easily a top contender for best set of the year

[@zippycohen5496]

100%!! Pirate bay being second in my opinion.

[@octolingfromthemetro2524]

100% also hello fellow splatoon fan

[@wcglion3080]

Best set ever

[@ninetailsrage1]

Hopefully this set makes its way to Amazon

[@hughwilliam4039]

I had no idea about this set! A nice surprise

[@superanimations4130]

Sees this set :o, also me “I officially declare bankruptcy”

[@SecretAgentYaya]

Dunno if it's been mentioned yet but I think the robes on the upper floor of QQS are actually the national team robes as opposed to Hogwarts teams. The orange ones have to be the Chudley Cannons, at least.

[@FDNProductions]

I’m so early that the thumbnail didn’t show up on the notification

[@Levi-xb5sz]

26:03 mumbo jumbo in Lego 😂

[@rogergoza3180]

I’d love to see LEGO release a Leaky Cauldron or Nocturne Alley expansion

[@lionelwood6032]

Theyyyy should do this, it should be a modular system where they release a couple every year, in the end, we get all 32 shops, loads of carts, gringotts, hopefully like 3 floors tall and then knock turn alley with a dark potions store, both aim and burkes and just loads of menacing buildings, it could contrast diagon alley, Color wise

[@Nasuto1702]

Mix this with the last Gringotts bank we got, and its gonna look pretty cool

[@barkitect5247]

Looking at those two sticker signs I'll probably have to cut up the sticker sheets to get the letters as close as possible together

[@bigbenvader9658]

Ron went full anime mode with the eyes! XD

[@yo_tangerine568]

There was a micro set of this same set as a promotion so I think it’s cool they did a full size set

[@BrandOffMusic2]

...yeah I’ll just stick to going broke over the castle sets

Wait until Holly gets her hands on this and reviews it.

[@IseyMjollJ]

This is my favourite set... EVER

[@Nasuto1702]

Oh my god. That is way bigger than I expected.

[@legomanjordan773]

I think the reason why the hair for Lucius Malfoy is yellow instead of blond is because they don’t want it to be the same color as his skin because it might make it look like the hair is part of the skin instead of hair

[@ToaPohatuNuva]

LEGO: Silencio! Keep it between us Ashnflash: Hey guys check out this cool secret thing in the set

[@ocktheock5218]

The letter on ollivanders desk could be the one he writes to dumbeldore after Harry buys the twin core wand

[@vipunen88]

Actually, Lockharts suit IS accurate to the scene. Maybe it is a bit lighter in the movie, but that is the wardrobe he used

[@jacobmontaguemiscellaneous9335]

Maybe it’s dark at the top of weakly wizard weazes because of the fact that they kept the instant darkness power

[@klojoeoeha236]

I know my next birthday present! (Just kidding, it’s way too expensive. I’m going to save up alot.

[@zacharyspinks6207]

Now That's Looks so Awesome!

[@thatsruffdog]

You know, Senior Draco works perfectly for Lucius. And it’s cheap to get in a $15 set. AND! they can both coexist. Because, when Draco is young, he has his young face and his dad can have the older face. Then, when Draco has the older face, his dad will have stubble. Speaking of, LEGO might just use Chris Pratt or Bucky Barnes’ face.

[@masterbuilder2856]

I get that it has to do with keeping the prices down, but I'm not a fan of how Lego is using the facade build for larger structures. I like whole, complete buildings. Other than that, awesome set. Great looking builds. The Diagon Alley from 2010 is one of my favorite Harry Potter sets and this one might be up there.....

[@wojtekcaban184]

I'd love lego making the knocturn alley

[@zhihaowang7104]

amazing giant set!!!

[@JamesLawner]

I wanna see you rearrange the buildings to make new combos or put them next to those Lego Creator modular buildings to see how they look together.
