The last two models haven't quite excited me. The models have been fine, but uninspiring in a way. I wonder what we'll get as our last model from the Order of the Phoenix? Will it end this movie with a blast? Read on to see what we got...

REVIEW: Advent calendar 14 December 2022
Today, we are still building models from the Order of the Phoenix. Will today's model be easier to recognise than yesterday? And will we be back to a more substantial model after a few days with rather low piece counts. Read on to see what we got...
REVIEW: Advent calendar 13 December 2022
Most days it is easy to see what the models we get represent from the movies. But sometimes it can be tricky. That was the case for the 1 December model for instance (which was Ollivander's wand shop). Today, we got another rather cryptic build. Read on to see what I think it represents...

Today, we are to get the last model from the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie. Yesterday, I speculated what minifigure we might get (assuming we would get one today), expressing my hope that it would be Rita Skeeter. Did my (Christmas) wish come true? Read on to see what we got...
REVIEW: Advent calendar 11 December 2022
Yesterday's model was a bit of a (positive) surprise. Maybe this calendar is not all micro-scale after all (with the occasional minifigure). Would today's model support this view? Read on to see what we got...
REVIEW: Hogwarts Castle – Part 4
With the daily advent calendar review chewing up some of my spare time, it took longer than expected to compete this last part of my review series of the 2018 Hogwarts Castle.

REVIEW: Advent calendar 10 December 2022
We have made it all the way to the two-digit numbers of the Advent Calendar. It should be predictable by now - or at least I thought I had it all figured out, but yet I was surprised today. Read to to see why...
REVIEW: Advent calendar 9 December 2022
According to the symbol on today’s door, we will get the last of the three "gifts" from the Prisoner of Azkaban movie. Based on the pattern from the previous two movies covered, that means we should get a minifigure. Does that hold for today - and if so which minifigure? Read on to see what we got...
REVIEW: Advent calendar 8 December 2022
I was pretty happy with yesterday's model from the 2022 LEGO Harry Potter advent calendar. Will today's model be equally good? Will we get our first top score of 5 out of 5? Read on to see what we got...
REVIEW: Advent calendar 7 December 2022
We are now a week into the 2022 advent calendar and some patterns emerge. From the symbols on the box, we should be starting on the third movie today. I wonder what model or minifigure we'll get to represent that. Read on to see what we got…
