Some scenes really beg to be turned into LEGO sets. Hermione's accidental transformation into a cat following drinking polyjuice is in my opinion one of them, so it is therefore surprising that there should go 20 years before we got a set that represented that small mishap. LEGO has kindly sent me a copy of the set in advance to provide you with a review of this nice little set. Here's what you get...

In 2020, LEGO surprised us (well, at least me) with the release of Hedwig.

In fact, this is a perfect opportunity for another MOC (my own creation) competition. So join the fun and you might be the lucky winner of the excellent Hedwig set (75979). Here are the details…
I must say, 2020 was a great year for LEGO Harry Potter collectors, with a strong line-up of sets, including the huge Diagon Alley set. The sets were so sought after, than they were more often than not out-of-stock due to high demand while the supply chain struggled with factory closures due to COVID.
