A new minifigure pack, first revealed by Brickset a few days ago, is now showing up on LEGO's website. It is part of a series of minifigure packs LEGO started releasing last year, each containing four minifigures and a small build. It is great to see them extend this series with a Harry Potter themed one, and in particular that they have included a figure from each of the four Hogwarts houses. Here is what you get...
Finally, following a long period of unconfirmed rumours, LEGO has officially revealed the 2020 line-up of LEGO Harry Potter sets. And there is plenty to be excited about. As LEGO states in their press release: "discover the entrance to The Room of Requirement, lure Professor Umbridge to the Forbidden Forest, gatecrash the Ravenclaw dormitory and explore the Hogwarts Astronomy Tower. Excited? Let's have a closer look...
A while ago I wrote a blog post story about Rita Skeeter as part of my "make-your-own" series. I've since got a few more things to add - not least a neat representation of Rita in her animagus form. Here are the details...
There have been plenty of rumours and speculation about a new Harry Potter Collectable Minifigure (CMF) series 2 to come in 2020. It would be awesome if true, and in my excitement I created a "wish list" as per my post last year. In the last day, we have seen some more substantial rumours, for example as reported by The Brick Fan, suggesting an official reveal (should it be true) may come soon.
Already the opening scenes of the movies introduces us to number 4 Privet Drive, with Harry being delivered on the doorstep of the house that would become his home after the tragic death of his parents. While Harry hated his time there, the home was an integral part of the story and some of the most memorable scenes happened there (poor aunt Marge). As result, 4 Privet drive has both been released as an official set and been built by many fans as well, as we shall look at here.
While the upcoming DK book "Magical Treasury - A visual guide to the Wizarding World" has been known for some time, the included exclusive Minifigure has so far been unknown. However, Amazon has now published updated photos revealing that the included figure is Tom Riddle.
The Dursley family contains some of the most iconic characters in the Harry Potter universe. Without Harry's horrible time with the Dursleys at 4 Privet Drive, it just wouldn't be the same. It is therefore a bit surprising that of those, only Vernon Dursley has been released as minifigure, and that was back in 2002 where they were still yellow faced. Here is a flesh coloured version you can make yourself.
Christmas is literally just around the corner with today giving us the second last model, leaving us with just one more lid to open tomorrow. I had kind of expected what we got today would have been tomorrow's model - leaving me very curious what we'll get tomorrow! But let's first have a look at what we got today...
We are down with just a few more lids left to open. Yesterday left us in suspense giving us "half a model". With great curiousity I opened the lid to see what the completed model would look like. Compared to the actual, it looks awesome, as you will see...
I've made a few custom figures from existing parts. Here is another one: Percy Weasley. I'd be keen to see an official version of him (maybe in the rumoured Harry Potter Collectable Minigure Series 2), but I think I've found a good combination of hair and head piece that captures his stern appearance in the movies well.
