It has been a busy month for me travelling. While I had planned it so I could continue my daily advent calendar review posts, I couldn't keep up with the other news, such as the official photos revealed of the new Harry Potter sets due 1 March 2023. So now where I'm back where my laptop is, let's have a look at what's coming...
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. It had been on my wish list for so long, so it was great to actually be building it. Read on to see how the model is finalised, as I make my way through the last of the four instruction books…
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. The sets released mid-year 2022 cover more of those gaps, including one of the most iconic locations: 12 Grimmauld Place - the Headquarter of The Order of the Phoenix. Here is what you get...
The calendar is now showing June and the new wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets can be found both online and in stores in many countries around the world (though North America at least has to wait a bit longer). One of the new sets is Hogwarts Dumbledore's office. Apart from the headmaster's office it also brings a room long neglected. Read on for my full review...
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...
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…
