hello hello this is the Lego Harry
Potter Goblet of Fire set called
the rise of Voldemort it's kind of a
simple single scene based set and it's
fairly inexpensive too but I think it's
set up pretty well let's check it out
first of all a small detail here but an
important one finally a proper minifig
scaled version of the Triwizard cup made
possible by that tree topper piece with
the four bars coming off of it in light
gray and it just looks fantastic that is
a one by one trans light blue brick in
the center and this is absolutely
perfect and a minifigure can hold it via
one of the bars or they can just stick
the top of a hand into one of the
simulated handles here on the side and
this is ideal better than anything that
they've done to date for what it's
supposed to be the biggest part of the
bill is just the graveyard grounds here
which have a bunch of small details that
are trying to make it look pretty spooky
but it doesn't waste too many pieces you
know they rely heavily on the large
plate pieces just to give you a lot of
space to bring that dark tan color out
that they used to know you know just to
represent the the dirt in this space and
just put a small number of things
basically for the most part just on top
and it's varied enough to look
interesting and the great thing about
this is that compared to so many LEGO
sets that have actual build for many
figures to into interact this has a ton
of space for minifigures to interact so
you can pose them any kind of way now
back here you have the cauldron and the
contents of the cauldron are amazing and
look you can see them all at one time
all the important ingredients the stuff
is a little bit McCobb but it's all
accurate
that right there represents the blood of
Harry Potter not the first time that
Lego has represented blood directly in a
set I've had sets in the past old sets
where they had blood packs and or organs
represented in medical-related sets from
like Legoland from town that represents
the hand of Wormtail it's an EXO force
hand I personally would have preferred
to see an actual minifig hand just
included or of course you could just
pull one off a figure but it's not quite
that simple we'll see that in a minute
the bone femur was at a femur I think
one of the large larger more obvious
bones from the senior riddle and then
they have recolored and reprinted the
papoose mold which is absolutely perfect
for the temporary body version of
Voldemort there with just a pretty
perfect face on it and you know he's all
wrapped up and I don't think there's a
better choice for how to represent this
form of them certainly my favorite thing
in this set is the representation of the
the statue of the Grim Reaper there or
is it supposed to be an angel
I think it's supposed to be a grim
reaper with the scythe and everything
this is obviously set up just perfectly
they actually have an angled platform at
the base so that Harry Potter is his
head is out of the way but you're able
to get him really really close so it
really looks like he's trapped there and
you know you can actually go through the
process of trapping him by moving this
you know start with him off you know
force that throw them up there onto the
platform and then bring this down and it
just it just looks cool it just looks
pretty ideal also there's a sticker
behind there for the is a little bit
simplified for the Tom Riddle tomb there
you know I think I would have preferred
to have a the more complex one with the
full family list but simplifying it down
I think is okay and then around the back
a little bit of foliage so that it's not
just too plain and you can actually use
these clips here to hold on to some
extra extra accessories like for
instance Voldemort's own wand which he
doesn't have yet at this point if you
just don't want that to be held
somewhere else you know if you want to
use that for something else but it's
good to have you know a non camera
friendly side of a set like this still
look okay so if you have this on a desk
rather than backed up on a shelf it's
still going to look okay from different
angles
I like how they did the wings also it
just works out well with the distance
there and that's pretty much it for the
details of the stuff that
you build up got another tombstone over
here that represents tombstone I
represent tombstone I don't know exactly
what that was supposed to be I need to
go back through the scene to see if
there was something in particular that
referenced but I think that just the
main stuff that you're paying for here
well in in my opinion most of the
plastic that you're paying for in this
set is put together well no this is the
rise of Voldemort set and they let you
take that concept literally having
Voldemort rise up from the ground from
the ashes so just remove the cauldron
from the scene pretend that never
existed and there you go he just pops up
it's nicely integrated again fairly
simple doesn't use too many pieces for
that gimmick oh he got stuck that time
there we go
do a little bit more quickly to make
sure and he just pops up and then you
can do whatever you want and leave that
behind
you know I really like the fact that
they use the tombstone sort of design
you know that that shape of piece which
is pretty perfect there integrates in
everything in just fine when it's when
it's not in use so here's a closer look
at this sets version of Voldemort he's
looking very happy with himself and it's
got the all black robes on with a little
bit of the Slytherin green stitching put
his wand in his hand which is just the
basic wand design and they didn't do
anything special for this other than
making you white not the first one
they've done in white and then there's a
random Death Eater who could be any of
the Death Eaters like use your
imagination but don't call it Lucius
because you're not able to see that
telltale bit of the blonde wig at the
back of it they did not give this an
alternate face unfortunately but I guess
that's okay and maybe an alternate face
would have shown just a little bit
behind this but I think it's fine to
leave that off even if it would have
would not have shown yeah I think that's
fully covered up but it's fine to leave
it off because that gives you a little
bit more latitude to call it any of the
Death Eaters if you want and then here
we have the Triwizard challenge version
of Harry Potter the more that I think
about this I have to question if
they should have gone with dark red for
the Gryffindor color is it is it closer
to dark red or is it closer to red
certainly the red is very vibrant and I
don't think it offends the senses at all
but maybe dark red would have been more
appropriate I have to move over quickly
though to Scabbers oh yeah
worm table apt to Peter Pettigrew there
because that's just a fantastic looking
figure gosh it's so good when Lego gets
right they really really get it right
the face is great I mean it looks like a
it looks like a Lego face looks like a
minifig face but it also looks just like
the actor it's perfect to me
and then they gave them a hand so rather
than including an extra hand you know in
just regular light flesh color they gave
him his reconstituted or reformed
magical version hand and you know if you
if you want to pull that out for role
play and throw it in and pretend it's a
real one you can it's just you know it's
just in the potion and in the cauldron
so you wouldn't see the proper color
anyway but the print on the torso hip
leg pieces all just fantastic also
around the back of the torso excellent
medium sized legs for Harry Potter so I
was able to be articulated
yeah the faces for Peter Pettigrew are
just not aligned all that well doesn't
really matter I mean you can see it's
kind of just that an angle really
doesn't matter it's just funny that that
happens sometimes but two good figures I
just have to question whether dark red
would have been better for Harry
lastly spare parts not a big deal but in
this particular case I actually think
the inclusion of a spare white wand and
a spare black wand is valuable both of
those are valuable the white is the
least common color I think and black
will probably end up being the second
least common unless they start including
these pieces to represent other things
in other sets because they are very
useful you know being able to to angle
them all sorts of different ways from
the end with anything that is clipped
like but this is also a useful piece
here just for such a small set I think
there's some cool stuff here that's
extra anyone who's seen more than a few
of my videos knows the
I'm not shy about criticizing things
that I think could have been done better
but this set just it's just really
really good everything about it even the
price is extremely reasonable for four
good minifigures plus a very clever
Papoose version of Voldemort an
excellent Triwizard cup which is the
best that they've ever done even if
you're not interested in this particular
scene if you like the the Triwizard
challenge on the whole just i mean yeah
that's that's a good thing it's it's
basic and I'm glad that they have that
piece in that color hope to see lots and
lots of it I like the pieces in general
this is actually a very simple bit of
box art on the back I actually
appreciate this as well because it's
it's just very honest it doesn't try to
make the set look like more than it
actually is
hmm didn't even think about that until
just now but I really like that I hope
that Lego will do more of that in the
future they do too much these days
too frequently to really enhance the
looks of sets even to the point of of
making things look dramatically better
than they actually are with with prints
and such but yeah all good like the set
good deal if you like what you see here
if you're a fan of the movie if you're a
fan of the series if you want this get
it you will not be disappointed at least
in my opinion
check out the build if you want to see
exactly how it went together I have done
as usual my full real time pure build
and also a speed build if you're really
really in a hurry thank you for watching
hope you enjoy this I'll talk to you
again very soon
