The clock has ticked over to 1 June in this part of the world, which means in many countries the much anticipated new 2020 Harry Potter LEGO sets are now available (North America unfortunately has to wait another couple of months). I was lucky to find a few sets on a shelf early, so here is my first review of the 2020 sets. I've chosen Room of Requirement, which is the smallest of the new sets. Is it a must have set?

THROWBACK THURSDAY REVIEW: Quidditch Match (2010 version)
I teased a while ago an upcoming review of the 2010 Quidditch Match set to compare it with the 2018 set with the same name.

But is it a fair representation of Hermione? Read on for my review...
REVIEW: Harry Potter and Hedwig Brickheadz
In 2018 LEGO literally flooded the market with Brickheadz figures of pretty much any licensed theme they had, including three from the Harry Potter universe. They are getting pretty hard to find now. Are they worth chasing up? Here's my review of the first one...
Wingardium Leviosa – Tensegrity in action…
One of the most remembered sentences from the movies must be Hermione's "It is Levi-O-sa, not Levio-sar" in Flitwicks Charms class.
