June is rapidly approaching and with that comes a new wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets. LEGO has kindly provided me with a number of sets to review. In this post I will look at Hogwarts Courtyard: Sirius’s Rescue, which is one of the smaller sets in the series. Here are my thoughts...
The next wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets is coming soon and LEGO has kindly provided me with copies of most sets to make early reviews of what to expect.
