New York Puzzle CompanyHarry Potter Order of The Phoenix - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults by Mary GrandPré

No complaints! Well made

Before starting this puzzle, I knew this one was going to be extremely difficult since everything is basically a shade of blue. Let's just say there were times where I was almost more annoyed with the puzzle than Harry and his teen angst outbursts in this book. So far, this one was definitely the most difficult if the series. Although challenging, it was still fun. Like the other book cover puzzles, this one had oddly shaped pieces as well as multiple pieces that would fit but not necessarily go there (harder to tell with this one though because everything is basically blue). Once I finish the seventh puzzle, I will make a list of puzzle difficulty in that review. This has a matte finish, so i use a puzzle glue with a little bit of glossiness to make the colors pop a more. The picture I have is without glue (sorry for the light glare). I buy the masterpieces puzzle glue from Amazon.

I'm slowly working my way through the Harry Potter book cover series. Every puzzle is high quality. These are pretty difficult because the pieces aren't all regular AND (as you can see from the picture) this cover in particular is basically all blue, so it's challenging. Can't wait to finish out my set!

This was one of the toughest puzzles I have ever completed, but the results were worth it! Every piece is some shade of blue, so it was frustrating at times. I was so excited when I finished it that I had it glued together and framed. Now it's a cool conversation piece in our office!

Love these puzzles! I’m working through all the book covers!

I've put together 5 of the 7 book covers so far and I don't knock the puzzle company for how challenging this puzzle is due to the cover art -- it is what it is, HOWEVER I do fault them on their puzzle cut out design. I'm guessing most of us puzzle folks start out with the perimeter. It took me 2 days to figure out why it wasn't coming together -- a few pieces were cut so similar that to 95% of people you'd never know they didn't fit together. I wish I had take pics. I had a perimeter built but I knew it was wrong because A) I had straight pieces left over and B) I used a tape measure to see the puzzle was the wrong size. After tearing areas apart I knew had to be the problem I finally got it correct. IMO, pieces should not be so similarly cut that this happens. It's the most challenging puzzle I've ever done and I've want to toss it many times, but again, that's not the puzzle company's fault. Slow and steady.

Great puzzle...bought all seven.

It took almost a year and a half, but I finally finished this one. In comparison, it took me no more than 2 weeks to finish the puzzles for books 1-4. I recommend buying something to easily store/transport it because you’re likely going to want to put it away for awhile out of frustration. I use a large wooden chalkboard w/frame and poster boards.

Das Puzzle macht viel Spaß und ist eine Herausforderung. Ich glaube, viele die gerne und öfter puzzlen werden Spaß an diesem Puzzle haben, da es einige Stunden und auch Konzentration verlangt.
