In the lower left corner, it is listed that the set includes six random wizard card tiles, which is a new collectable item included in the 2021 anniversary themed sets.
A series of smaller insert photos above show additional details or play features, such as the duelling club scene in the Great Hall. To the left an insert photo shows the modular nature of the set. From the main photo, you get a good overview of all the included rooms, with the Chamber of Secrets dominating the lower half. It is quite impressive, and given this may be why most will buy the set, I’m surprised they didn’t have a teaser photo on the front as well. Turning over the box, the back shows the castle as seen from the inside. On the side of the box, the ten normal minifigures are shown along with some of the included accessories, and an illustration of the 1:1 scale of a minifigure.
We get ten of them plus a golden anniversary edition of Lord Voldemort. At the bottom left is the 20th Anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter logo and the usual banner with the included minifigures listed.
Behind is the silhouette of more castle towers lit up by the full moon, while the basilisk is fighting Harry Potter in the front. As such, it looks pretty impressive, with the Great Hall sitting on top of a cliff and a tower next to it. The front of the box shows the included parts of Hogwarts, as viewed from the outside. Let us hurry on to have a look at the set… Box and content Similarly, the Chamber of Secrets is a very welcome addition, with its last (and only) appearance being in the aforementioned 2002 set. I’m in particular excited by Professor Lockhart’s office and classroom, as they have not previously been covered in LEGO sets. With the theme, and the tan/sand green colour scheme, the set has a vibe from the 2001/2002 era of sets, with elements both from the 2001 Hogwarts Castle (set 4709) and the 2002 Chamber of Secrets (set 4730, a brief discussion of this set, can be found in my post 20 years of LEGO Harry Potter – Part 2).
The set covers the an interesting range of locations at Hogwarts, including:
The whole anniversary wave is covering scenes from the first three movies, with this particular set focusing on the second movie: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
As we shall see later on, it can be combined with other sets in the series, to create an even larger castle. When built, the set measures over 15.5 in. With almost 1200 pieces, the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets set is the largest of the 2021 anniversary Hogwarts sets. LEGO has kindly sent me an advance copy to review. So it is great news that LEGO has finally made a new version as part of its 20th Anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter series of sets due to hit the shelves in June 2021. That was back when the minifigures within the Harry Potter theme still had yellow heads. The more challenges completed, the more models, characters and maps the player has to choose from.It has been no less than 19 years since LEGO last released a Chamber of Secrets set. To move on, collect the right amount of Chocolate Frogs to take part in the next exciting challenges. The player also has a chance to be creative by designing his own character in the workshop. The player can prove himself in places such as Street of the Deadly Nocturne or Gringotts Bank.
LEGO Creator: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets offers much more interesting maps than the previous part. With LEGO models, you can modify existing maps to your liking and even build your own completely from scratch! And that's all, playing as one of the favorite characters from the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The player can explore the most interesting parts of the world of the Harry Potter universe, such as Professor Snape's laboratory or even the famous Chamber of Secrets. The action of the game takes place during the second year of education at Hogwarts. LEGO Creator: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets offers tons of thrilling quests and challenges.
