In a new video released by LEGO, Neville Longbottom actor Matthew Lewis recreates his top 20 scenes from the Harry Potter movies using LEGO sets. The resulting video is a nice trip down the memory lane, with fun anecdotes and facts from the making of the movies. Watch the video here...
Back mid year, Blockwarts teamed up with BrisBricks and The Brick Zone to do a 20th Anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter exhibition. For entry we asked for a donation, which has now allowed us to give a good donation to a local children's charity...
The 2021 LEGO Harry Potter sets have given us several collectable items, including a number of golden anniversary minifigures. I have been pondering how best to display those for a while, but with the announcement of the Hogwarts Icons Collectors' Edition set, the solution seems given.

Some scenes really beg to be turned into LEGO sets.

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...
I think most readers will have realised by now that this year is the 20th anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter, as I've covered this extensively in the last few months. You may also remember that I did run a MOC (My Own Creation) competition to celebrate this anniversary, and maybe even wondered who won. Well, wait no more, as I here will be announcing the winner...
The first wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets hit the shops in 2001 coinciding with the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (or Sorcerer’s Stone, as it was released as in USA).
