I really prefer opening Advent calendars on weekend days, not having the rush to get out the door for work. This morning, I actually took the time making coffee and then sat down with the calendar. Yesterday's model had been okay, but not as great as many of the earlier days. Would today be different? With great anticipation I opened the lid...
Time flies. December is typically a busy month, and for me it has very much been so far. Still, I'm surprised it is already 6th of December and with this, we are a quarter through the LEGO Harry Potter advent calendar. But what a great start. Will today's model continue to impress?
Another morning with the first stop being checking the advent calendar to see what goodies LEGO has hidden behind today's lid. The coffee must wait a bit. Will Harry at last get some company - or will the forest of Christmas trees continue to grow? Or will we get something completely different this time? Read on to see...
The first three days of December have given us three vastly different models - but generally of very high quality. Will 4 December be any different? And how many House Points will I award it? Read on for my 4 December review...
After two excellent days, both getting top scores, I was curious to see what today would bring. Another figure? Another micro-scale build? Or something else? And not least, would I once again have to award 5 House Points, or wouldn't it quite hold the standard set by the first two models. Read on for my review of 3 December...
Yesterday was a good day when it comes to the Harry Potter LEGO advent calendar. We got a minifigure that had a nice connection to Christmas - Harry wearing the sweater he got from Molly Weasley. This will be hard to beat. In yesterday's review, I left Harry standing in the snow. What will happen today? Will he get company, something to eat, a fire to get warm by, or something else? Read on for the review of the 2 December model.
At last, the clock has ticked over to 1 December and the Christmas month has officially started. And with this, I can finally open the first lid on the advent calendar, which has been standing on the shelf waiting for so long. So was it worth the wait - read on for my review of the 1 December model.
It's apparently Black Friday. It used to be generally a thing in the US, though retailers seem very keen to make it just as big in the rest of the world. So my social media feeds have been spammed "Black Friday" notifications for days. But if you ask me what Black Friday should be about, I'd say: "Are you Sirius?" So let's have a quick overview of Sirius Black in LEGO.
It has been a while since my last Monday Meme. This one is based on a series of photos I took at by Comic-con display in September, recreating the famous distracted boyfriend meme. In this post I've included a blank photo as well for anyone to use making their own memes.
Everyone hates Dolores Umbridge, period. But there are other villains in Harry Potter, including Voldemort of course. Fairly high on my list of nasty personalities is Rita Skeeter, a journalist of the Daily Prophet wizarding newspaper. She invented fake news years before it was even discussed in the Muggle world. I made a minifigure of her for my display at Comic-con back in September, but have only now found the time to write a post about it.
