I’m a huge Harry Potter fan — and when I say huge, I mean I’ve read all the books several times over, I watch the movies multiple times a year, and I’ve been to Universal Studios more times than I can count just to drink Butterbeer in Diagon Alley. I’m also a LEGO collector, so naturally I have a ton of Harry Potter LEGO sets that I’ve put together, including this Harry Potter Flying Ford LEGO set.

This set is so much fun to put together, and it’s easily one of my favorites. It even inspired me to start a LEGO collection! Best of all, it’s under $15 on Amazon. Here’s why I love it so much.

This Harry Potter LEGO set includes 165 pieces, but it only takes about 30 minutes to build. It comes with mini figures of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hedwig and Scabbers, along with a removable roof for the car, seats for the figurines and an opening trunk for the suitcase and wands. With this set, you can pretend to fly the Ford around Hogwarts, the Forbidden Forest, Diagon Alley or the famous Whomping Willow tree that Harry and Ron crashed into.

This set is also super affordable compared to other Harry Potter LEGO sets, such as the Hogwarts Express Train Set or the sorting hat. Plus, it looks really cool displayed on your favorite bookshelf.

Not only is this one of my favorite LEGO sets, but Amazon reviewers and Harry Potter superfans love it, too. “If you love Harry Potter, and you always wanted the car they drove in the film…then this will absolutely get you what you want. It does not disappoint,” says one reviewer.

So, whether you’re building a LEGO set for the first time or just looking to add to your current collection, this Harry Potter Flying Ford set deserves a spot in your Amazon cart.
