Some may have noticed that Blockwarts' Facebook page is currently shown as having no posts at all. This happened when Facebook blocked all news sites in Australia - and used a very loose definition of "news". Posts on these sites can no longer be seen, regardless of whether users are in Australia or not. This also prevents posting links to the site globally. Here is what we know...
Each year on 1 September, Dumbledore would welcome the students back to Hogwarts from his lectern in the Great Hall (and then typically proceed to announce a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher). As the lectern features in most movies, I am glad to have built a lectern for my own Great Hall now.
What LEGO Harry Potter sets will we see in 2021? Like many others (I'm sure) I have been pondering about this for a while. Like I did with the 2020 sets, here are what scenes I think the 2021 sets could cover, now I've finally had the time to finish the post I started more than a month ago...
As some may remember, back in July 2019 I wrote a post about what possible LEGO Harry Potter sets we might see in 2020. Now that year has come and gone, so I thought it would be interesting to see how well I did. There were some sets that I predicted nicely, but others that I missed completely. Here is a summary...
When LEGO revived the Harry Potter theme in 2018, it released the Great Hall set. This was the first of a series of modular Hogwarts sets, that can be combined into a large Hogwarts castle, featuring many of the important rooms within the castle. In 2020, the Astronomy tower was released in this series. Does it meet the standard set by the previous sets? Here are my thoughts...
Fresh into 2021, I better get on with finishing the last few reviews of the 2020 sets. Here I will discuss the Attack on the Burrow set. The Burrow is one of the most iconic buildings in the Harry Potter universe, and it is great to see a remake of this. But does it hit the mark? Here are my thoughts...
1 January is just around the corner, and with that five new LEGO Harry Potter sets become available. I've previously reviewed the four Hogwarts Moments buildable books. The fifth set is different - as it is part of the new LEGO Art series of sets, where you build a mosaic to hang on your wall. Is that something for you? Here are my thoughts...
Thanks to LEGO’s AFOL Engagement Team, I have had the opportunity to have a look at the new Hogwarts Moments series before they hit the shelves in January 2021. There will be four of those sets, one for each of the Hogwarts Houses, and with this review of the Slytherin book, I have covered all four. As you would expect, this is centred around a Potions Class. Enjoy…
"It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas" I sang after having built yesterday's model. Will we finish on a high today? Here what we got...
Opening the second last door today, we're truly getting towards the end of the countdown. What will we get? Read on to see...
