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. Here, I'll take a look at smallest of the upcoming sets. This is what you get…

Luna’s Spectrespecs: Instructions now available
Luna Lovegood's Spectrespecs is a worthy "Hogwarts Icon" in my opinion, so I decided to build a wearable version of them to supplement my Hogwarts Icons collection. For those playing/building along at home, I've now created a set of instructions with a part list to get you going. Have fun!
Another Hogwarts Icon: Luna’s Spectrespecs
Movie characters sometimes have a piece of clothes or another personal item that becomes characteristic for them. One such example is Luna Lovegood's Spectrespecs, which were also used on the very first Luna Lovegood LEGO minifigure. While available in minifigure scale, with the new Hogwarts Icons set out, I thought it would be nice with a full-sized version. So this is what I did...
REVIEW: Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets
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...

When LEGO revived the Harry Potter theme in 2018, it released the Great Hall set.

In 2020, the Astronomy tower was released in this series. Does it meet the standard set by the previous sets? Here are my thoughts...
REVIEW: Room of Requirement
The clock has ticked over to 1 June in this part of the world, which means in many countries the much anticipated new 2020 Harry Potter LEGO sets are now available (North America unfortunately has to wait another couple of months). I was lucky to find a few sets on a shelf early, so here is my first review of the 2020 sets. I've chosen Room of Requirement, which is the smallest of the new sets. Is it a must have set? Read on for the review...
The other Hogwarts houses – a non-review of the Harry Potter CMF Series, Part 3
Long, long overdue, but with no new sets in sight (yet, rumours remain strong), I better continue the (non)-review of the Harry Potter collectible minifigure (CMF) series. My two previous posts on this focused on the Gryffindor students (see part 1 and part 2). This post takes a look at students from the other Hogwarts … Continue reading The other Hogwarts houses – a non-review of the Harry Potter CMF Series, Part 3
