Lego Harry Potter 4865 The Forbidden Forest

Ok, so here are my thoughts on the Lego Harry Potter set in 2011, The Forbidden Forest.
Lego.com description:
In Forbidden Forest, Lord Voldemort and his followers have captured Hagrid and tied him to a tree. When Harry Potter enters the Forbidden Forest to face his destiny, Lord Voldemort attacks. Will Lord Voldemort defeat Harry Potter once and for all? Will Narcissa Malfoy betray the Dark Lord?
  • Includes 4 minifigures: Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, Hagrid and Narcissa Malfoy
  • Accessories include wands, snake, owl, mushroom and spider
  • Measures 5” (12cm) wide and 4” (10cm) tall.
NOTE: It lists an owl being in this set in the description, but there is NOT a owl in this set.
Mini-figures:
Harry Potter: Harry wears his school robes in this set, which is unusual as he wore his casual clothes in the movie. Also unusual as his casual clothes had already being made. Harry has the same hair piece as all the other Harry mini-figures since the line was revived. He has a decent face print, highlighting the scar and glasses. He sports a Gryffindor torso with back printing in this set.

Hagrid: Hagrid is in his usual outfit, like in all the other sets, in this set, He has a very well done hair piece, getting every last part of hair right. The hair can be removed to reveal a smiling face print beneath. His feet can not move.

Voldemort: Voldemort is the only regular sized mini-figure in this set not to have back printing. He has a really good face print, which looks really evil, as well as being a rare entirely white head. He comes with a cape, and a snake respresenting his, Nagini, is included. Voldemort includes a decent torso piece.

Narcissa Malfoy: Narcissa is the best, and is the only exclusive mini-figure to this set, She has a two-sided face print, one content and the other shocked. She has a brilliant torso design, which features front and back printing. She has a brilliant two-coloured hair piece also. Also, she has a nicely printed leg/dress piece.

The set: The other things included are a tree, which has four blue fire pieces, which you use to trap Hagrid by the tree. The set contains a snake, mushroom and spider for putting around the tree.

Overall: This is a very useful set to have. It contains an entirely new figure *Narcissa*, two figures in previous expensive sets *Hagrid and Voldemort* in a much cheaper set, and it includes a tree which could be useful for a diorama. I rate this set at the full 10/10. It contains a lot for such a cheap set at $11. An all-new mini-figure, two previous expensive ones in a cheaper set, and another Harry! The tree is a nice build, and I definitly recommend you pick this set up, it is well worth the money.
