[@TiagoCatarino]

Favorite building? Ollivanders? Quality Quidditch Supplies? Florian Fortescue Ice Cream Parlor or Weasley's Wizard Wheezes?

[@49ersdog70]

Congrats on 100k!

[@DavesBrickHouse]

That's a tough question. I think for me it's Olivanders, with Weasley's Wizard Wheezes a very close second! Also, great review. :-)

[@xoil_]

All 1:30

[@asmi14]

Weasleys Wizard Wheezes

[@leonardocortes5479]

I love it

[@elexploradorx6757]

The set, in addition to having a large number of pieces, has a long list of minifigures, so for my taste it is one of the best Lego sets

[@TiagoCatarino]

Right?!

[@adryondjojopawiro5502]

My favorite is the scooby-doo mystery machine, It has so much detail

[@patymar80]

Mine too! Loved building this set!!!

[@rooty]

Kind of weird there's no Gringotts. It has far more plot significance than almost all of the other buildings and has a more iconic and recognisable exterior (except maybe for Weasley's Wizard Wheezes).

[@mountaindrew2241]

Gringotts would have to be massive to be a faithful recreation. The diagon alley works bc the shopfronts are small

[@hazimsone]

@@mountaindrew2241 i believe Gringotts will be a modular set of its own later

[@yoongiswndrlnd]

@@hazimsoneyou predicted that right; it gets released in September!

[@ShortRound42]

I like your reviews too Tiago. Hope you do more of them. I like your insights and knowledge on various elements, etc.

[@tonysworld2141]

Great Set! Love the techniques used, detailed interior and exterior and great minifigures!

[@TiagoCatarino]

Yes, it's perfect!

[@omdhdk]

So clever that you can connect two of the buildings together to save some space. Think I'm going to get it even though I'm not the biggest HP fan

[@christoph560]

Now the set costs 470€ and in my opinion the big Hogwarts Castle from LEGO is still better

[@Parrotking131]

It cost less now 390 pounds

[@Parrotking131]

I’m getting this set either for Christmas or really soon!

[@wilsonmorris8123]

Just found your channel, and I'm loving it.

[@MrAskmannen]

Why would they include kid version of the characters when weasley's wizard wheezes didnt exist at that point? the minifigs should be the versions from Order of the Phoenix and older then

[@acertainredpanda1115]

Sets where you can build together are the best. Nothing beats building LEGO with a friend or family member!

[@solened4149]

Hi Tiago! I'm very happy I've seen your review video. I'm a very new Lego Harry Potter lover, and your review helped me settling if I really needed this Diagon Alley set. And, yes I do need it! Keep up the good work and sorry for my broken english (I'm very French haha)

[@TiagoCatarino]

Happy building!

[@fabianespinoza991]

Thanks Tiago, great review! This really is a great set but the price tag does gives me pause. I’m sure I’ll eventually get it. When it comes to the stickers I don’t mind them that much, I can see how they can become a chore after your 15th or 20th application. But for some reason I really don’t like the stickers that have prints of bricks. It’s kind of like those moments in movies that take you out of a movie, the prints of bricks take me out of the experience with the lego set. Might just be me :)

[@TiagoCatarino]

Feel the same! I enjoy building! Stickers make me not build...

[@imbatman9845]

its weird how they have the figures from the first two movies, but they had the Weasleys shop here, which is from the later movies

[@shinypeafowl9947]

I would love the shop with magical creatures that's also in diagon alley, the Magical Menagerie. But I understand that they needed to make it affordable and couldn't fit everything in. Besdes it is pretty forgettable, so maybe if they try to make another one, they might include it there, I hope! The build is still amazing though!!! It has so much to offer!

[@Snapepet]

Hi, Tiago! I'm SUPER new to the Lego world. I am crazy about your videos. You walk us through the sets, and keep it all so interesting and informative. You do a wonderful job. I've only done three sets: the potions classroom, a police car and the Seinfeld set. I agree about the stickers. If you get it on perfectly, it's so satisfying. But if not-it's maddening. On the Seinfeld set, I got Jerry's front door sticker a little askew and it's all I can see. My solution is to keep his front door open, like Kramer just came bursting in. Thank you so much for your reviews. I hope soon I'm lucky enough to be able to do Diagon Alley!

[@auvbyrne6173]

Welcome to the Lego community 👋and I agree about the stickers going on wrong it’s a killer 😅

[@wexbrix5245]

I really like this set! I love it because my sister also likes it! So because each building is its own book we can build together! Super fun experience

[@TiagoCatarino]

YES! It's really good for building together with another person :)

[@BrickLady]

Волшебный набор, тоже такой буду брать!!!

[@brickcavalier8909]

Wow! This set is awesome! Btw congratulations on 100K subs! You deserve it!

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thank you 😊

[@maja194]

It kind of bugs me that the mini figures are not from the same timeline if you know what I mean. Like, all the kids are still little except for Fred and George, who are already running their shop. They just mixed two stories: the one from the second book including shopping in Diagon Alley, Gilderoy Lockhart and the Malfoys. And then they just threw in Weasley’s wizard wheezes from what, the sixth or seventh movie? I get that it’s an appealing shop to include, but come on…

[@andrewderiugin8428]

Would love to get the set,but I just moved from EU and am buying a lot of pirates stuff for a stop motion movie,great video!

[@davisparkhurst6637]

Great review I enjoyed watching it

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thanks! More to come hopefully! :)

[@SacredBricks]

best lego set no cap

[@melissawelch6018]

Agreed!

[@wexbrix5245]

Olivanders is my favorite building! It looks so good

[@TiagoCatarino]

Indeed!!

[@ShadyAnne_Channel]

They better do a gringots soon as well. As a leaky cauldron we don’t have that either and these are both very big parts in the movie however, they are also a bit bigger so it makes sense that they should be their own individual set but where are they?

[@laustpeternielsen-norman9569]

It's so nice to have a great designer reviews I trust them more that others😃

[@Saturn_57]

WOW, Very nice thiago ;) I love this harry potter buildings!

[@TiagoCatarino]

They're great!

[@insertusernamehere313]

Whoa that’s so cool

[@TiagoCatarino]

Indeed!

[@playgroundcinema]

Enjoyed your review a lot! Thanks! We've no Harry Potter Lego sets yet, so now thinking about this one for Christmas :)

[@TiagoCatarino]

Get it! It is soooooo good

[@santiagoduval9498]

amazing that is a great set you are the best Tiago great work!

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thanks!

[@leonelcasalme1043]

Wow Tiago so many Lego that your set 😊😊😊

[@parke5373]

Wow this set is so cool

[@TiagoCatarino]

One of the best!

[@joseluissoaresserodio3495]

Hi Tiago. Epic set, no questions about it, Marcos did a great job once again. The price is also great, 400 euros for 5500 pieces, great racio. It will be a source of inspiration for my mocs, I love to build modular buildings for my city with several details. The only thing I don't like about it is the number of stickers. It kind a get you on the pressure zone if you miss one with all that quantity and size. After several hours building you might be tired and still have to concentrate to apply them. I'm saving my money for another portuguese designer set, the Ideas Tree House designed by Cesar Soares, hoping to learn a lot from the former teacher ahahahah! Excellent review Tiago, you have focused positive and negative points of the build and that's great to see. Beginning in fashion your reviews !

[@TiagoCatarino]

Appreciate the feedback man! Thank you! Stickers are indeed a bit of a let down, but given the size of the set and the amount of detail needed, I don't really see another way around it...

[@joseluissoaresserodio3495]

@@TiagoCatarino true. Have you felt the difference in quality of the stickers? One of the main reasons why I've gave up on them is because they begin to pop off the pieces. For a set of this size I really hope that's not the case! Unfortunately I was not able to follow the 100k livestream, but I have a question: the partnership with Lego will approach only D2C sets, specific/licensed sets or any kind will be an option?

[@robloxgabe3160]

Yes a very good r a c i o

[@itz_lexiii_]

Those wand boxes are awesome, i hope to see them in more sets. apparently there is 3 in Ninjago City Markets

[@landonmaglio2375]

This set looks awesome

[@TiagoCatarino]

It is!

[@superjcool]

My fav set is speed champion cars

[@mexicanlevi4728]

Awesome

[@gratidaocastro9855]

Seus vídeos são ótimos 😀

[@mithulahiri4105]

I have the individual Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes set, which I just bought... Do you think Lego will make the other buildings as individual sets or should I return this set and just buy the entire Diagon Alley that you reviewed? Asking because I would like the best building experience...thanks!

[@farrelberwyn]

I like the ollivanders building because the design is so cool

[@TiagoCatarino]

Right?!

[@farrelberwyn]

@@TiagoCatarino and I like the wizzly wizard building

[@Lego_Life]

Him: The best Lego set? Me: For those who can buy it......

[@TiagoCatarino]

Yep, it's expensive. But for the number of pieces it has, it's actually a good deal!

[@Lego_Life]

@@TiagoCatarino yes I know it is a good deal. Looking forward to a MOC of the set!(I know it'd be difficult to film such a large MOC'S speedbuild, so you can do a run through!)

[@michaelmilliere5253]

It is a very nice set

[@TiagoCatarino]

Indeed! One of my favorites!

[@demianh1621]

I like if There is coming a set with The knockturn alley

[@liongirl3477]

I like all

[@bartomiejwozniak1455]

7:17 @Tiago Catarino it means that every new set in LEGO has budget and designers has to keep it in mind while designing? How it is calculated? Is there a limits of usage of rare pieces? Do you know or have you heard about some cancelled or reduced projects of sets when you worked for LEGO?

[@BrickTemplar]

Hey Tiago, could you make a video on how the Lego designers are keeping the budget in mind?

[@ThemeParkExploration670]

What would you say is the better set diagon alley or the home alone house

[@MardonAnimations]

I'm waiting till after the holidays to get this, so the price goes down. I'm gonna build it with my best friend :) CANT WAITTTTTT!!!!

[@TiagoCatarino]

Good plan! It is a great set!

[@mythicminifigs6591]

Best set ever 🤩🤩🤩👌🏻

[@TiagoCatarino]

Ahaha :)

[@nick91884]

If you got two copies I bet you could increase the scale a bit to make them work with the other modulars

[@TiagoCatarino]

That's a great idea actually

[@itzm1ghty_177]

Bro congrats on 100k subs (srry im late)

[@samandthehams4496]

Could these connect to the modular series?

[@Gman07024]

I'm just curious how do you build a set with someone else (I get this one ) but if there's one booklet and one main set how do you divey it up

[@MissJalee]

this is so cool wish I could get it

[@TiagoCatarino]

Hope you can!

[@samsimpson11]

I liked the weasilyesse shop

[@ValentinaAlvarenga-dv9zx]

Nice

Do you have the HP castle? would be great to see them together

[@TiagoCatarino]

I do! But I already took it apart :)

I wish they could sell each biulding sepretly

[@BRICKTACULARFILMS]

Great

[@BenHeffernan337]

This is definitely one of the best Lego Harry Potter sets well done with the great review

[@TiagoCatarino]

The best in my opinion!

[@Sandra-kg5tm]

It s amazing👍👍👍

[@TiagoCatarino]

Indeed it is

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

I'm not even interested in Harry Potter and I think this looks pretty amazing!

[@theblackchimera]

Tiago I was wondering do they use complex techniques to pull of some of the shaping or simpler

[@TiagoCatarino]

Very complex stuff in some aspects of the build!

[@theblackchimera]

Ok

[@Alliefeltz]

In addition to being a good lego set its also a good set

[@TiagoCatarino]

Yes and yes

[@samstocker6450]

I'm not the biggest fan of Harry Potter so it doesn't necessarily appeal to me all that much. Not too interested on the outside aesthetic on some of the builds as well despite the clever techniques used. As a fan of the Creator Expert and Ninjago City modular lines, this would make a great parts set for mocs.

[@TiagoCatarino]

For sure! And they kinda look like modulars

[@catapple]

i think the maersk triple e had more stickers (70+) anyways amazing video!

[@KACHOW95953]

Wow good video

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thank yoU!

[@VoyagerWon]

I have a LEGO channel that got inspired by you. Thank you Tiago Catarino!!!!

[@TiagoCatarino]

Awesome!

[@azaldinA]

Nice!

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thanks!

[@ingridwinn9082]

Now you feel our sticker pain. Thats how we feel. We don't mind some stickers. But sometimes it gets frustrating.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Yeah 40+ stickers does get in the way

[@fruitypebbles6664]

How long did it take you to build?

[@felixw5374]

worth buying 2 just for the alley part

[@umdave1504]

I wish you would have featured the interior more. There is no way I can afford this set.

[@hareshgedia3287]

Lego could also make a knockturn alley so you could attach that to this set!!

[@TiagoCatarino]

I could see this being expanded with an extra set or two, like they did with Ninjago City + Ninjago Docks

[@Bananaboi-uq9ph]

Can you make big LEGO bricks that fit with each other? It’s gonna be hard but I feel like your able to do it.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Yes, if I do them big enough!

[@Roodiculousness]

I love this you did an amazing build love it

[@Roodiculousness]

You’re welcome

[@tonydiep8668]

Let/ tucking go

[@Mr-Mania]

I think it looks great but to me having a Diagon Alley lego set with out Gringotts vault is a massive missed opportunity

[@andrewmesser1955]

Gringotts, I would have liked that location included

[@Met377]

Prayer has been answered

[@nobo1682]

theirs a lot if variant, wish their were more characters you can't get in the avg Harry Potter set

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thank you!! It is indeed a great one!

Could you PLEASE tell me how you connected the hat in the last building to stay on. Every time I move the special function the hat slides off! Please any instructions would be appreciated
