🧱 Magic Book Train Knight Bus LEGO-Compatible Set
This Magic Book Knight Bus Building Set caught my eye as a mix of Harry Potter nostalgia and LEGO-style creativity. It features multiple builds (like the Knight Bus and Quidditch field), all stored inside a foldable “book.”

Highly detailed
-
Great shelf display

Compatible with LEGO figures
Cons:
-
Instructions could use better numbering
-
Some hinge pieces were stiff
US Comparison: Sets like this go for $30–40 at Target or LEGO stores. This was under $18.
