No More Lego Harry Potter Sets: This is a sad day, indeed. :(
Apparently, it's because the movies are getting darker and it's hard to create to create "child friendly" sets or something like that. But I really loved building them! The Durmstrang Ship is currently sitting in my room, as is half of the Shrieking Shack (some of the pieces weren't in the box!).
My brother (with my persistence, heh) used to collect all these sets. We He had the flying car, Dursley's house, Hagrid's Hut, Hogwarts Express, Chamber of Secrets, Quirrell's office, Quality Quidditch Supplys, Borgin & Burkes, and a bunch of other ones. That is, until they were catastrophically torn down by visiting relations and neighbors. Now all the pieces are scattered in boxes never to be built again, and yes, I am actually still EXTREMELY UPSET about this because it was one sweet collection which I mostly built.
