Earlier in the year I built a MOC of King's Cross station. When displaying it, I thought it would be good to have Hogsmeade station as well. I had recently bought a great MOC of that from my friend Russell, and it then became the centrepiece of my latest display piece. Read on to hear the story behind, and see how the display ended up looking...
LEGO has revealed two new LEGO Harry Potter themed Brickheadz sets to become available from 1 June 2021. Ahead of the global launch, I’ve been lucky enough to be sent the sets for review. This review covers the set containing Harry, Hermione, Ron and their good friend Hagrid. Here is what you get…
The big-headed Funko-pop style figures are extremely popular among pop-culture collectors and since 2016, LEGO has been tapping into that market with its Brickheadz figures. In 2018 we got three sets with characters from the Harry Potter universe, but after that nothing. It was therefore a pleasant surprise to see a new Harry Potter themed Brickheadz set pop up earlier in the month. I've now had the chance to build it. Here are my thoughts...
Hagrid's Hut was one of my favourite 2019 LEGO Harry Potter sets. I recently added a removable back wall to the hut, allowing it to be displayed from all angles, both with and without back walls. Building a landscape to display it on seemed like an obvious next step, so here is what I did...
The US LEGO Store calendar for September 2020 is now available online, and it reveals no less than two Harry Potter Gift-With-Purchase sets available when buying from LEGO. While the listing only applies for US orders, other countries typically have similar deals. Here is what you get...

Here is what we know...
Already back in mid 2019, it was announced that after a relatively quiet 2019 for Brickheadz, the funko-pop style figures that was a major LEGO line in 2018, would return in 2020 with more releases. It was also noted that it would include licensed figures. As LEGO already has an active licence for Harry Potter LEGO, it would be obvious for them here in 2020 to add to the three sets we got in 2018. But which?
Dragons in various shapes and forms have been part of the mythology in both Europe and Asia for thousands of years. Stories about them have always fascinated humans and it's not surprising that they are also part of the Harry Potter universe. Let's have a look where they appear and how they have been represented in LEGO.
While most of the 2019 Lego Harry Potter sets represent scenes that previous sets have covered, this one is refreshingly new, and in many ways it fills some gaps in what other sets have provided. The price point is quite high though, so how does it stack up?
Today, 22 years ago we had the Battle of the Seven Potters. It is also known as the Battle Over Little Whinging as it happened on the evening of 27 July 1997 when members of the Order of the Phoenix led by Mad-Eye Moody where to take Harry Potter to safety and was engaged in an aerial battle over Southern England with a group of Death Eaters led by Lord Voldemort.
