Always thought that dragon was weird. Banana claws.

What a coincidence: I was browsing this set’s page today after building the more recent Horntail set that I got for Christmas.
There’s some alliteration for you.
You know when you have a sinus cleanse and it kinda burns and stuff? So this dragon must have just had a major one.
I always felt that this was the weakest, of the Goblet of Fire sets. The ship was amazing, and the graveyard was sublime.

Why did you point that out. Will never unsee it.
Oh wow. I've always wanted this set, especially for the parts, the dragon, and for the Moody minifig.
Two Tan Bananas!
Got most of the parts for this one also (received an incomplete set), but sadly missing the wings and the precious bananas. The ball and the magnet were interesting pieces to get for sure. It was also exciting to get such a rare figure (Moody) to add to my collection. Just wondering if his value will decrease even more over time as there's now the better CMF variant - atm the original is still worth at least $20.
Always thought the blocky dragon looked a bit...duplo to me. They’d done dragons with moveable necks and limbs before, this one was a bit of a let-down
It's a prefab, Harry

$20? - if only it was.
I guess you missed off a zero!
Then: 30$
Today: a kidney
Today: buy 75946
I kinda regret not getting this one. Especially with the new one that was released recently. Despite being a solid piece, I find this dragon looks far superior to the new one.

Probably talking about just the Moody minifigure, not the whole set.
@oldfan
Yes
I wish they ramade this dragon as molded creature. I do like the one we got but it looks...weak as HD
