When LEGO revived the Harry Potter theme in 2018, it released the Great Hall set. This was the first of a series of modular Hogwarts sets, that can be combined into a large Hogwarts castle, featuring many of the important rooms within the castle. In 2020, the Astronomy tower was released in this series. Does it meet the standard set by the previous sets? Here are my thoughts...
Fresh into 2021, I better get on with finishing the last few reviews of the 2020 sets. Here I will discuss the Attack on the Burrow set. The Burrow is one of the most iconic buildings in the Harry Potter universe, and it is great to see a remake of this. But does it hit the mark? Here are my thoughts...
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…

One surprise when the 2020 LEGO Harry Potter sets were announced was Hedwig (set 75979). This is basically a display piece, where previous Harry Potter sets (with very few exemptions, like the Brickheadz figures) were all minifigure scale play sets. I was therefore interested to see how it would stack up to other sets in the 2020 release....
While not available in stores till January 2021, LEGO has formally announced the new LEGO Arts set Harry Potter Hogwarts Crests (set 31201), along with some photos of it. It shows that in addition to building either of the four house crests from the set, you can also build a complete crest with all four houses, though it will require four sets to do so.
Dutch toy retailer Van Der Meulen has uploaded whole lot of official photos the early 2021 LEGO sets, including a new Harry Potter themed LEGO Wall Art set (31201). While such a set had been rumoured, this is the first time we get to see it. Is this something you'd like for your collection?
