I felt like this was a far stronger Hogwarts Castle than the two that came out prior, but the best one (at least, so far...) was the fourth.
Having said that, the greenhouse (that came with this one) was a thing of beauty.
The Order of the Phenix was my introduction to the HP world. Wanted this set forever but is super pricey on the aftermarket. Good thing I didn't pull the trigger, now that $$ can go towards the D2C Hogwarts coming out!
I just recently found this set in a tote I bought off Facebook marketplace. I was not that impressed with it. I sold it for $300 on eBay and I still don't understand the aftermarket value...
So sad I never got a chance to buy this one at a reasonable price!
Funny how this comes out in the midst of all the D2C Hogwarts set rumors!
Speaking of which, I wonder when we'll get to see images of the upcoming sets.
The only thing that bothers me is how the highest tower seems to be unfinished and possibly added as an afterthought... But I really like how this version (currently) has many exclusive areas among all the Hogwarts Castle; such as the Room of Requirement, the green house, and Prof. Umbridge's office.
