I normally don't cover sets that are not Harry Potter, but with the Elf Club House I had to make an exception. Its shape was perfectly representing how the houses in Hogsmeade look in the movies. Read on to see where I ended...

New figures coming with the 2021 classroom book sets
The four buildable books due to be released 1 January 2021 were revealed earlier today and have triggered a lot of interest. It is great to see something different. While my initial focus was on the books themselves (a post about those is coming up), I soon realised that the minifigures were worth a mention too, which is the focus in the following...
REVIEW: Diagon Alley – Part 4 (Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes)
Here is part four of my review of the new LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley set. This concludes my review of what I think is an amazing set. Is it something for you? There are a few issues to keep in mind if you have yet to decide whether to buy or not...
REVIEW: Diagon Alley – Part 3 (Flourish & Blotts and the Ice Cream Parlour)
Here is part three of my four part review of the new LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley set. This is in many ways an amazing set, but is it all good? If you are still on the fence, read on to see what you get...
REVIEW: Diagon Alley – part 2 (Quidditch shop and Daily Prophet)
I had to do two weeks of mandatory hotel quarantine after returning to my home country from overseas. I was lucky to have the new Diagon Alley delivered to keep me occupied. This is an amazing set - one of those where you wish you can continue building forever, discovering cool details and impressive building techniques all the time. Here is part 2 of my review of this set...
REVIEW: Diagon Alley – part 1 (Ollivanders and Scribbulus)

This is an amazing set - one of those where you wish you can continue building forever, discovering cool details and impressive building techniques all the time.

BOOK REVIEW: LEGO Harry Potter – Build your own Adventure
I haven't reviewed any books previously, though there have been plenty of LEGO Harry Potter related books released in recent years. Most of these have hardly any interesting content (for an adult fan) even when considering the rather generic minifigures included. There are a few that deserves attention though - including "LEGO Harry Potter - Build your own Adventure" from last year. Here is why I like that one...
Hogsmeade at winter time???
I normally don't cover new LEGO set announcements, unless they are from the Harry Potter theme. But today I'll make an exception. LEGO has just revealed this year's Winter Village set: Elf Club House. While I might be a must-buy item for my Winter Village collection anyway, when I saw the shape of the building I immediately thought of Hogsmeade. Here are my thoughts...
Huge Diagon Alley LEGO set officially revealed
One of my favourite LEGO Harry Potter sets is Diagon Alley (Set 10217), which was released back in 2011. Today, LEGO has officially revealed much bigger Diagon Alley (Set 75978) - giving us six of the iconic buildings and no less than 14 minifigures to go with it. It is available for sale from tomorrow. While not cheap, it looks stunning and I'm sure it will be a popular set. Let's see closer at what you get...
Finishing touches: Adding landscape to Hagrid’s Hut
Hagrid's Hut was one of my favourite 2019 LEGO Harry Potter sets. I recently added a removable back wall to the hut, allowing it to be displayed from all angles, both with and without back walls. Building a landscape to display it on seemed like an obvious next step, so here is what I did...
