Sticker Sheets

There are a lot of stickers that you can plaster on the truck. One sheet is dedicated to just decoration with various crests and details related to the Harry Potter series. They aren’t all unique as there are some duplicates like the Chocolate Frog and the butterbeers.

Minifigures

There are six minifigures in the set, Professor McGonagall, Harry Potter, and four other students. McGonagall has on the black and green robes with some nice circle patterns. Her double-sided head shows her with a smile on one side and an angry expression on the other side.

Build

The whole build consists of the trunk and its contents. One thing to note is that this set is fully customizable to your liking down to the color of the chest and what details you want on it. I chosen Gryffindor because that’s what the main instructions go by. I’ve also didn’t apply the stickers because I wanted a clean looking trunk.

The front has three area that have the house colors. In the middle, there is a functioning lock that can keep the contents secure while traveling. The two sides have handles as well as some tiles for you to put the nameplates on.

The trunk opens up on some hinges on both sides. Here you are presented with a large area in which you can recreate various scenes on which include The Sorting Ceremony, The Great Hall Welcoming Fest, and The Common Room.

For each of the scenes, you’ll have to take apart some of the main builds to create alternate builds for that scene. For example, the purple couch is rebuilt into two smaller chairs and a table for a board game.

There are also some smaller accessories like the printed Quibbler tile, Acid Pops, and Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans.
