inifigure based sets, one of the most popular LEGO Harry Potter sets in 2020 was the model of Hedwig. I had therefore expected something similar this year, and LEGO did deliver - releasing a very similar model - this time representing Dumbledore's phoenix Fawkes. Here is my review...
As reported by the Brick Fan, a new LEGO Harry Potter polybag has been revealed on LEGO's Building Instructions page. This polybag (set 30392) is titled 'Hermione’s Study Desk'. This is what you get...
A LEGO set is typically a trade-off between price and size. Creating an accurate model of Beauxbatons' carriage, with its huge size and a dozen winged horses pulling it, would have been an expensive set. Given the limited screen time it had in the movies, it is understandable that the 2019 Beauxbatons' carriage set was somewhat moderate in size (though still not at all cheap). For a while, I have worked on creating a bigger version and finally, it is ready to to be shown...

I've been building a series of MOCs lately to cover different scenes from the Goblet of Fire, including the Second Challenge of the Tri-wizard Tournament. The Rescue from the Merpeople set from 2005 gave us contestants Harry Potter and Viktor Krum. The other two contestants, Fleur Delacour and Cedric Diggory were however not included in the set, and both used the bubble-head charm to help them. This is how I added them...
he 20th Anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter sets gave us a new collectable item - the Chocolate Frog Wizard Card tiles, with each set from the theme giving us a number of random tiles. With 16 to collect, you will generally have to resort to swapping or buying extras to get a full set. All 16 tiles are now finally listed on Bricklink, helping you to find potential sellers of the tiles you may be missing. Here are the links...
