After 385 blog posts, this is by far the hardest one to write. Yesterday, I received the devastating news, that long-time friend Russell Bates had passed away.

I know it is still November, and while the shops may have had Christmas decorations out for a while some places, it may still not quite feel like Christmas. But in a few days, the date will tick over to 1 December, and we can (finally) get started on the advent calendar. I will as usual cover it here on the blog...
On 1 June 2023 (at least for the regions, I've checked), we will get another 6 traditional LEGO Harry Potter sets plus 3 Harry Potter themed Brickheadz sets. I will cover the latter in a separate post, and here focus on the six sets, which are a mix of play sets and display pieces. Here is what we get...

Here is what we know...

The H1-2023 LEGO catalogue is now available online and has revealed more LEGO Harry Potter due in March 2023. This is what we know...
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.
