The 2021 mid-year wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets introduced a new collectable item - 2x2 tiles with famous wizards and witches printed on them, representing the wizard cards you get when buying the magical chocolate frogs for example from the trolley lady in the Hogwarts Express. I posted about the display stand I designed for them a few weeks ago, and have since had multiple requests for instructions. So here they are...
The 20th anniversary sets have been in the shops for about a week and many may now consider what to do with the collectable wizard card tiles included in the sets. You have 16 to collect - but how are they best displayed? Here is what I did...
Overnight, LEGO.com has revealed high resolution photos of the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar. Similar to last year, it is going to be available from 1 September. Curious what it will bring? Read on for a mostly spoiler-free story...
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. I've already reviewed four of those sets, with more reviews to come. But one set I haven't mentioned at all on this blog yet, is the Wizarding World Minifigure Accessory pack. So I better fix that now. Please read on to see what you get.
It has been no less than 19 years since LEGO last released a Chamber of Secrets set. That was back when the minifigures within the Harry Potter theme still had yellow heads. So it is great news that LEGO has finally made a new version as part of its 20th Anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter series of sets due to hit the shelves in June 2021. LEGO has kindly sent me an advance copy to review. Read on to see what you'll get...
The mid-2021 wave of Harry Potter sets celebrate the 20th anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter. This includes a set with Fluffy the three headed dog, which in many ways is similar to the Forbidden Corridor set released back in 2001. This is a nice homage to the origin of the theme, but how does it stack up as a set otherwise? Luckily LEGO has sent me an advance copy to review, so read on to see what you'll get...
Along with Hogwarts and Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade is one of the iconic locations from the Harry Potter universe one would expect to see in a Harry Potter theme park. It is therefore surprising that we haven't seen any sets with Hogsmeade since 2004. Luckily the 2021 wave of sets includes an excellent Hogsmeade set, which I've been sent to review. Here is what you get...
As previously announced, the 20th Anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter themed sets in the coming mid 2021 wave each includes a number of random wizard tiles. Having been provided by some of these sets by LEGO in advance for review, I can now give more information about these...
Some scenes really beg to be turned into LEGO sets. Hermione's accidental transformation into a cat following drinking polyjuice is in my opinion one of them, so it is therefore surprising that there should go 20 years before we got a set that represented that small mishap. LEGO has kindly sent me a copy of the set in advance to provide you with a review of this nice little set. Here's what you get...
For a couple of years, I've had a custom version of Sirius Black's motorcycle, which I have gradually improved on, to a point where it is now worth sharing. And for those who want to build one yourself, I have included instructions for how to make it. Have fun...
