REVIEW: Hogwarts Magical Trunk

The Hogwarts Magical Trunk is one of four new LEGO Harry Potter sets due 1 March 2022. The set is colourful, and while to some extent similar to the buildable books we got in January 2021 in its ability to open it up and create minifigure scaled scenes, there are differences too. LEGO has kindly sent me an advance copy to review. Here are my thoughts...

2021 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar: House rules for game

With most Christmas celebrations now over, I have time to revisit the game that came with this year's advent calendar. It is rather simple and may not keep kids interested for long. But you can maybe enhance its life by creating additional house rules that apply. Here are some ideas for inspiration...

Today is 1 June and that means that many new LEGO Harry Potter sets are now officially available from LEGO.com and a number of retailers.

REVIEW – Advent calendar 7 December

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?
