LEGO set 4730, “Chamber of Secrets”, depicts a key Harry Potter location within the Harry Potter theme. Released in 2002, it contains 597 pieces and presents a Hogwarts related scene tied to the Chamber of Secrets storyline.

Set 4730 is based on the Chamber of Secrets, a location closely connected with Harry Potter and Hogwarts. Within the Harry Potter theme, it belongs to the group of sets that focus on a specific story setting rather than on a broad representation of the school or a general castle layout.
