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...

REVIEW: Hogwarts Grand Staircase
Since 2020, we've had a decent sized LEGO Harry Potter themed gift with purchase (GWP) set being released every year. So I had expected such a set again this year and wasn't disappointed. With qualifying purchases from 15 July you will receive the Hogwarts Grand Staircase set. Read on to see how to qualify and what you get...
REVIEW: Hogwarts Courtyard: Sirius’s Rescue
June is rapidly approaching and with that comes a new wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets. LEGO has kindly provided me with a number of sets to review. In this post I will look at Hogwarts Courtyard: Sirius’s Rescue, which is one of the smaller sets in the series. Here are my thoughts...
REVIEW: The Shrieking Shack & Whomping Willow
The next wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets is coming soon and LEGO has kindly provided me with copies of most sets to make early reviews of what to expect.

Wizard chess playing maxi-figures
2021 gave us some interesting "anniversary" sets, mostly minifigure based - but also other scales. We got the Harry Potter and Hermione Granger "maxifigures" and we got a Wizard Chess set, that could both be used as a regular chess set, or a minifigure-scaled scene from the movies. But how about combining the two...

Following from the four "class room" sets in the series released last year, I will here have a look at Defence Against the Dark Arts, which was one of many subjects taught at Hogwarts.

REVIEW: Harry Potter & Hermione Granger
In recent years, LEGO has tested the market for Harry Potter themed display sets - giving us the excellent micro-scale Hogwarts Castle in 2018, a buildable model of Hedwig in 2020 followed by Fawkes and the magnificent Hogwarts Icons set in 2021. Another display sets we got in 2021 was the Harry Potter and Hermione Granger "maxifigures". This is my review of those...

REVIEW: Hogwarts Wizard’s Chess
Harry Potter LEGO used to be all playsets. But in recent years we have seen a number of sets that are more for display. The 2021 set Hogwarts Wizard Chess is a bit of a hybrid, both suitable for display and for play while also being a fully functional chess game too. It was therefore one of the more interesting sets in this year's lineup. But how does it stack up in reality? Read on for my full review...
