Earlier in the year I built a MOC of King's Cross station. When displaying it, I thought it would be good to have Hogsmeade station as well. I had recently bought a great MOC of that from my friend Russell, and it then became the centrepiece of my latest display piece. Read on to hear the story behind, and see how the display ended up looking...
We finally have the official photos of this year's exclusive LEGO Harry Potter set. Long rumoured, it was no surprise that it was a model of the iconic Hogwarts Express. It looks absolutely stunning along with the small section of Platform 9¾. But if you want a train to run around your Hogwarts Castle, this is not the set you're looking for. Read on to see what you'll get...
Since 2020, we've had a decent sized LEGO Harry Potter themed gift with purchase (GWP) set being released every year. So I had expected such a set again this year and wasn't disappointed. With qualifying purchases from 15 July you will receive the Hogwarts Grand Staircase set. Read on to see how to qualify and what you get...
LEGO has in recent years been busy releasing LEGO Harry Potter sets that cover characters or locations that had previously not been represented in LEGO.

We have seen a lot of new locations from the Harry Potter universe covered by LEGO sets in recent years. But one of the central institutions has been missing: the Ministry of Magic. This is about to change, as one of the new sets coming out in June will feature this. LEGO has kindly sent me a copy for an early review. 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. One of the ones I have been looking most forward to is the Shrieking Shack, which is finally making a return as LEGO set. Here is my review of that one…
This is the third and last post covering my King's Cross MOC (my own creation). In the previous posts, we've looked at the facade, the roof design and some of the interior details from when it was under construction. Now it is time to have a look at the completed model...
There are only two weeks left till the first public display of my model of King's Cross station, so I better press on. Last update focused on the facade itself. This time, I'll show how the inside has progressed - and not least the roof covering it...
