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.
