I really prefer opening Advent calendars on weekend days, not having the rush to get out the door for work. This morning, I actually took the time making coffee and then sat down with the calendar. Yesterday's model had been okay, but not as great as many of the earlier days. Would today be different? With great anticipation I opened the lid...

REVIEW – Advent calendar 6 December
Time flies. December is typically a busy month, and for me it has very much been so far. Still, I'm surprised it is already 6th of December and with this, we are a quarter through the LEGO Harry Potter advent calendar. But what a great start. Will today's model continue to impress?
REVIEW – Advent calendar 5 December
Another morning with the first stop being checking the advent calendar to see what goodies LEGO has hidden behind today's lid. The coffee must wait a bit. Will Harry at last get some company - or will the forest of Christmas trees continue to grow? Or will we get something completely different this time? Read on to see...
REVIEW – Advent calendar 4 December
The first three days of December have given us three vastly different models - but generally of very high quality. Will 4 December be any different? And how many House Points will I award it? Read on for my 4 December review...
REVIEW – Advent calendar 3 December
After two excellent days, both getting top scores, I was curious to see what today would bring. Another figure? Another micro-scale build? Or something else? And not least, would I once again have to award 5 House Points, or wouldn't it quite hold the standard set by the first two models. Read on for my review of 3 December...
REVIEW – Advent calendar 2 December
Yesterday was a good day when it comes to the Harry Potter LEGO advent calendar. We got a minifigure that had a nice connection to Christmas - Harry wearing the sweater he got from Molly Weasley. This will be hard to beat. In yesterday's review, I left Harry standing in the snow. What will happen today? Will he get company, something to eat, a fire to get warm by, or something else? Read on for the review of the 2 December model.
REVIEW – Advent calendar 1 December
At last, the clock has ticked over to 1 December and the Christmas month has officially started. And with this, I can finally open the first lid on the advent calendar, which has been standing on the shelf waiting for so long. So was it worth the wait - read on for my review of the 1 December model.
THROWBACK THURSDAY REVIEW: Quality Quidditch Supplies
I've reviewed most of the 2018 and 2019 sets so far on my review page. But there are many awesome sets in the earlier series. This post is my first go at reviewing some of the older Harry Potter sets. As a lot of my own building activity has focused on Diagon Alley shops lately, I've picked one of the early sets depicting one of these: Quality Quidditch Supplies (set 4719) from 2003. So let's get building...
Voldemort’s hidden side
When the Rise of Voldemort set was released on 1st August, I was able to get a copy and publish a review. The same day LEGO released their augmented reality series of set called Hidden Side. One of these sets is a graveyard, so I immediately thought this might go well with the Harry Potter set, which is rather small by itself. Let's see how it looks...
REVIEW: The Beauxbatons’ are coming
While most of the 2019 Lego Harry Potter sets represent scenes that previous sets have covered, this one is refreshingly new, and in many ways it fills some gaps in what other sets have provided. The price point is quite high though, so how does it stack up?
