I had no missing parts, all numbered bags fit perfectly with the instructions. This is neatly printed, any color errors are of course not so rude because you never have many parts lying around. The quality of the stones is excellent, I can, except for the absence of certain lettering, recognize no difference. The slants are roughened beautifully, all colors fit, only the books are in need of improvement. The figures are also except for Dumbledore&#8217;s beard, very fine. The glass stones are unfortunately slightly milky again.<br \/>\nI was also very impressed by the stickers &#8211; they have a good film thickness, are easy to stick and are printed clean.<\/p>\n<p>100% recommendation! <img class=\"smilies\" title=\"thumbs up\" alt=\":thumup:\" width=\"20\" height=\"17\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Buy\u00a0LEPIN: <strong>Click<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lepinland.com\/shop\/lepin-movie-series\/lepin-16030-harry-potter\uff1ahogwarts-castle-compatible-lego-4842\/\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the LEPIN 16030 &#8211; Hogwarts Castle Real Reviews from our lovely customer nickname\u00a0Benjamin Daecher at Germany.
