I teased a while ago an upcoming review of the 2010 Quidditch Match set to compare it with the 2018 set with the same name. With work being busy, it took longer than expected to write it up, but here is finally the (Quidditch) blast from the past. Being significantly smaller than the 2018 set in terms of bricks, does it stack up well? Here are my thoughts...
Following from my recent review of Harry Potter and Hedwig, this post reviews another Brickheadz figure from the Harry Potter universe: Hermione Granger. Together with Harry and Ron, Hermione makes up the "trio" and it is hard to imagine a display series of Harry Potter figures not including all three of them. But is it a fair representation of Hermione? Read on for my review...
In 2018 LEGO literally flooded the market with Brickheadz figures of pretty much any licensed theme they had, including three from the Harry Potter universe. They are getting pretty hard to find now. Are they worth chasing up? Here's my review of the first one...
Quidditch plays an important role throughout the Harry Potter series, so it is not surprising to see that in the 2018 line of sets. Being a couple of years old, and with the 2020 Harry Potter sets expected to hit the shelves mid year, it will soon be in line for retirement. So is it worth chasing up the set? Here's my review of the set...
Certain things from the Harry Potter series are so iconic that they have appeared multiple times as LEGO models already. So when I saw "yet another" Knight Bus being among the 2019 LEGO Harry Potter sets, it was one I though I probably didn't need - having the 2011 version already. But in the end, I found one I could get cheap and couldn't resist the temptation. And actually, I quite liked it...
I can't believe it is already Christmas eve. I've just finished my review of the Clock Tower set with the wonderful Yule ball characters. But so much still to do today, so I'll get straight to business. After 23 very good models (some absolutely amazing), what did we get here the last day? 24 December … Continue reading REVIEW – Advent calendar 24 December
When the Clock tower set came out mid year, I planned to skip it, but quite wanted the figures. The whole set grew on me, realising you got a number of new rooms: Prefects bathroom, Madeye Moody's classroom, and the hospital. So when it eventually went on sale, I bought it immediately. Reviewing it has taken months though. But as the set has all the minifigures dressed up for the Yule ball, I thought I better get it done in time for Christmas.
Christmas is literally just around the corner with today giving us the second last model, leaving us with just one more lid to open tomorrow. I had kind of expected what we got today would have been tomorrow's model - leaving me very curious what we'll get tomorrow! But let's first have a look at what we got today...
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Bing Crossby (and Perry Como and others) sang a long time ago. In my house, the Christmas tree got decorated today, and in the kitchen a lot of Christmas goodies were prepared for the coming days. Today's Harry Potter advent calendar also added to the Christmas feel, with a nice seasonal model as you will see...
We are down with just a few more lids left to open. Yesterday left us in suspense giving us "half a model". With great curiousity I opened the lid to see what the completed model would look like. Compared to the actual, it looks awesome, as you will see...
