As if there wasn't enough things to collect, you can now get cuddly plush minifigures from the Harry Potter universe. The good thing is that these may sit comfortable on your bed (partners don't generally otherwise appreciate finding LEGO pieces in the bed) and thus not fill up valuable shelf space for your LEGO collection. Here is what we know...
Today could take us to record number of seven minifigures in an advent calendar. Would we get one? Read on to see what was behind door 21...
When I saw the photos of the upcoming Hogwarts Icons set, I was captivated by the beauty the photos portrayed. But is the real set as good as the photos suggested? Having now built the set, these are my views...
In 2018, we got the large direct to consumers (D2C) microscale Hogwarts castle and in 2020 we got the Diagon Alley set. So I had been wondering - would 2021 be like 2019 - with no big set revealed in the second half of the year? Finally, we know the answer - and I like it!

One surprise when the 2020 LEGO Harry Potter sets were announced was Hedwig (set 75979).

I was therefore interested to see how it would stack up to other sets in the 2020 release....
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...
In 2018 LEGO literally flooded the market with Brickheadz figures of pretty much any licensed theme they had, including three from the Harry Potter universe. They are getting pretty hard to find now. Are they worth chasing up? Here's my review of the first one...
Along with five other sets, today's announcement of the 2020 LEGO Harry Potter sets included a set with a large brick built model of Hedwig. When rumours started emerging that we would see such a model, I initially thought it would be a remake of the US Target exclusive model from last year made available as normal retail. But this is a brand new model, as we shall see here...
German toy retailer JB Spielwaren has published photos of an until now unknown Harry Potter polybag to be available from 1 July this year. Here are the details...
