The Polly Pocket Harry Potter kit by Mattel Creations brings a sense of play and nostalgia to the table. The magical toy is compact and filled with intricate details including Hogwarts and the iconic Platform 9-3/4 small enough to fit inside of the palm.
The whimsical world of Harry Potter is transformed by Polly Pocket as it pops open to see four tiny scenes that are inspired by the series' first book: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The scenes start with Platform 9-3/4 where Harry is heading to Hogwarts. Another scene captured is the Great Hall where the Sorting Hat deems everyone's houses. The classroom is another scene that has been reimagined and finally, the Hogwarts grounds along with its lake.
