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. This year we are getting yet another "kinetic" model of a flying creature, with the Hungarian Horntail dragon joining Hedwig and Fawkes. Is that one to add to your collection? Here are my thoughts...

REVIEW: Hogwarts Moments – Divination Class
I have had the opportunity to review the new Hogwarts Moments sets that came out in March. Last week, I posted my review of the Defence Against the Dark Arts Class.

REVIEW: Hogwarts Moments – Defence Against the Dark Arts Class
I have had the opportunity to have a look at the new Hogwarts Moments series before they hit the shelves 1 March 2022. 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: Hogwarts Magical Trunk
The Hogwarts Magical Trunk is one of four new LEGO Harry Potter sets due 1 March 2022. The set is colourful, and while to some extent similar to the buildable books we got in January 2021 in its ability to open it up and create minifigure scaled scenes, there are differences too. LEGO has kindly sent me an advance copy to review. Here are my thoughts...

Another display sets we got in 2021 was the Harry Potter and Hermione Granger "maxifigures". This is my review of those...

We've made it to the final door of the advent calendar. So Christmas is just around the corner. But before we embark on the celebrations, which hopefully haven't been too affected by COVID, let's see what the calendar had for us...
REVIEW: Advent calendar 23 December 2021
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Bing Crossby (and Perry Como and others) sang a long time ago. In my house, the Christmas tree will be decorated today, and more Christmas cookies will be prepared in the kitchen. Today’s Harry Potter advent calendar also added to the Christmas feel, with a nice seasonal model as you will see…
