Thanks to LEGO’s AFOL Engagement Team, I have had the opportunity to have a look at the new Hogwarts Moments series before they hit the shelves in January 2021. There will be four of those sets, one for each of the Hogwarts Houses, and with this review of the Slytherin book, I have covered all four. As you would expect, this is centred around a Potions Class. Enjoy…

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...
Blockwarts ran our very first MOC competition, with a full set of 16 minifigures as prize. Entries were due last Sunday night - and we can now announce the winner...
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...

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...

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.

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...
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...
