Summary & Review:
Since 2001, Lego has been manufacturing sets themed on the Harry Potter movies. Ten years later there were over 50 different sets and dozens of minifigures created exploring all the aspects of Potterworld: Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, Hogwarts Express, the Knight Bus, and Quidditch. This books covers all the sets and minifigures and explains the various changes and modifications that have occurred over the years.
The most interesting part of this book was the final section called, “Beyond the Brick.” Here, the author explained the design, testing, manufacturing, and marketing aspects of the toys. Did you know that there is an elementary school in Billund, Denmark—the hometown of Lego—that sends its students to the company headquarters every Wednesday to test and play with new sets? How cool would that be for a kid!
