Fun but takes a while to build! Oct 12, 2002
I received this set yesterday from Amazon.com and I am still in the process of building it. It is an extremely large set (the box was more than a foot in length) and it comes with seven characters: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Gilderoy Lockhart, Ginny Weasley, Tom Riddle, Fawkes the Phoenix, and the Basilisk, a large, deadly snake. The set's instruction booklet is in several sections to help build all of the seperate sections that are put together to actually form the Chamber of Secrets itself. They are Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, with has a trapdoor and it's fairly easy to build; two Chamber walls; a gate-like structure that looks like a face with an open mouth that the Basilisk can crawl through; and three small towers that can be placed on the top of the set. There are several cool props, such as the Gryffindor sword, the Sorting Hat, flames, little black snakes that can be placed in several different areas, two tiny Lego daggers that can be placed in the roof of the Basilisk's mouth and look like its two fangs, and several others. It's a great set but it takes a while to build, and unless you are a devoted Lego builder, the set could become a huge, hopeless mess. Overall this is one of the best Lego sets I've ever received, and it is certainly worth the money. Buy it and love it!

Yet Another Place in the Magical World of Harry Potter Jul 08, 2003
The Chamber of Secrets is possibly the most interesting of all the Harry Potter sets. This set is huge with about 700 or so pieces. When my sister and I pulled the package out from under the Christmas tree for me to assemble (I build all of our family's Harr Potter LEGO sets, although the instructions are so clear, my six-year old sister could probably put it together, too) I expected the pieces to be all in a jumble, after all, it was a big set! Instead, I found each part of the set neatly packaged and easy to build.The set didn't take long to make, and we had plenty of fun acting out the scenes, but mostly creating our own. Assembly is easy. It may take a while, but the finished piece is worth it. There is Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, an opening for the basilisk to come through, three towers, and the Chamber itself. This set comes with Ginny, (an important character in this book, and my favorite) Tom Riddle, (a.k.a. Voldemort at 16) Porfessor Lockhart, Ron, Fawkes, and, of course, Harry Potter. This LEGO set comes with everything need for props (sword, diary, etc.) and will keep you occupied for hours. (at least it did for me)

One of the Best Harry Potter Lego Sets Jan 01, 2003
This is a really good set. The first thing to say is this looks the same as the Chamber of Secrets in the movie. This set comes with:
Harry Potter
Ron Weasley
Ginny Weasley (She only comes in this set)
Tom Riddle (He only comes in this set)
Gildroy Lockhart (He is in another set but in this set he looks different)
Fawkes(Only comes in this set)
The sword of Gryffindor
Sorting Hat
The Basilisk(Who also is only in this set)
This set took me 3 hours to build and it is worth it. The doors open to reveile the sword and the Sorting Hat. You also open the door that looks like a face to reveile the Basilisk.
THIS SET IS WORTH THE MONEY

I'm 13 and a girl Jan 17, 2003
By Allie DeThomas
Yea, kinda weird, but hey, I love Legos, from the original to the giant Darth Maul I've done 'em all (or at least most of them) this Harry Potter and the Chamber of the Secrets is well worth the money. Plus this set has over 630 pieces (which might not be to much to all of you Lego maniacs)would take you a bit longer then any normal Lego set. I have been trying to complete my Harry Potter Lego collection and only need one more (and counting that I have a gift card it all works out) all of the Harry Potter Legos are outstanding, no matter how small the package may be, so, in conclusion, i reccomend that you buy THIS Lego set, and other Harry Potters, I did. (This set includes Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley [only in this set], Tom Marvolo Riddle [only in this set], Gilderoy Lockheart [Lockheart is in another set also, but looks rather different], Fawkes [only in this set], Sword of Godrick Gryffindor, The Sorting Hat, The Basilisk [only in this set])
