I have had the opportunity to have a look at the new Hogwarts Moments series before they hit the shelves 1 March 2022. Following from the four "class room" sets in the series released last year, I will here have a look at Defence Against the Dark Arts, which was one of many subjects taught at Hogwarts. Here's my review...
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...
This year, we are getting a "mini-wave" of LEGO Harry Potter already in March (and assumingly more mid-year). Four sets are due to be released 1 March, and LEGO has provided me with the sets for early review. This review covers the Hospital Wing set, which combines with last year's modular Hogwarts sets. This is what you get...

But will we get more? Rumours say so. I'm not presenting any such rumours here, but rather the thoughts I formed over the Christmas break, which I never got around to write down till now...
In recent years, LEGO has tested the market for Harry Potter themed display sets - giving us the excellent micro-scale Hogwarts Castle in 2018, a buildable model of Hedwig in 2020 followed by Fawkes and the magnificent Hogwarts Icons set in 2021. Another display sets we got in 2021 was the Harry Potter and Hermione Granger "maxifigures". This is my review of those...
As nice and quiet the Christmas period was, as busy was the period just after. So only now can we reveal the winner of the MOC competition: A Merry Potter Christmas. And while Christmas may seem like a distant memory already, let's have a look at who won...

In my review of the Wizard Chess set posted last month, I mentioned that I wasn't too impressed by the horse pieces, which are in fact one of the most important pieces in the story. So I've set out to create an improved version. Here is what I did...
I've slowing been eating my way through all the food that was prepared and bought up to Christmas, and now got some time for other activities, such as reflecting on this year's Advent Calendar and how it does stack up compared to the previous two calendars. I also have a few ideas for how it could have been better...
