Gringotts Bank From Department 56 Collection

Decent building, but quality is not what it used to be. Since its not ceramic, the light can bleed through the building. Its very light weight. Also, will need to make a support to get the dragon to face forward or at a forward facing angle. It can be done, but dose not work right out of the box.

The building itself is quite nice; the detail is pretty good and it lights up pretty well, and it will fit nicely into the Potterverse we're planning for our village this year (mostly a mix of Dept 56 and Lemax pieces). It is VERY lightly constructed - feels like plastic - which we don't mind but if you prefer the look/feel/weight of ceramic, that's not what I got out of it. This building will not sit well on super fluffy snow. The only part that threw me off and I'm sure it was a Me Issue is that the dragon accessory faces backwards when you put it on top of the building. I would have much preferred front-facing or at least side-facing. Overall, a nice piece that you do have to accommodate in a village due to light construction and if you pull the trigger on the dragon, know it will face toward the back of the building.
