It’s a pretty plain build for the calendar, with the spellbook just having a plain tile on the inside, but I do like the wand, which comes in its own wand case – a new element first introduced in 75978 Diagon Alley.
We have now had three LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendars (you can check my review pages of them in case you want to revisit what was in them: 2019, 2020 and 2021). With her bushy brown hair, and a confident smile, Hermione comes with her wand – 10¾” long, made of vine wood, and possessed a dragon heartstring core. Apart from that, we also get one chocolate frog, a Hogwarts Express ticket, and a Chocolate Frog Card. In 2019 we got the first LEGO Harry Potter advent calendar, with the models centred around Harry’s first Christmas at Hogwarts. Day 24 of the 2021 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar isn’t really a surprise as it’s been featured heavily on the box and cover, as it’s also a crucial element for this year’s board game “gimmick” – you get a game spinner, that acts as a spinning dice!
Day 5 of the 2021 Harry Potter Advent Calendar gives us more delightful references from the Philosopher’s Stone, with Hagrid’s Birthday cake, given to Harry for his 11th birthday! Whether for lifelong devotees of the wizarding world or someone just beginning their journey into the realm of magic, this calendar offers daily surprises of excitement and wonder.
I usually post updates in the morning, but sometimes if I get too busy at work, updates will be posted in the evening. You'll discover 6 favourite minifigures plus exciting items and enchanting accessories from the movies - everything you need to play out Harry's journey from Privet Drive to Hogwarts™ and endless adventures of your own. This is our first lego advent calendar and have enjoyed checking your blog everyday after we’ve opened up the calendar.I believe they have made them unique to the advent calendar which is good but with the series having a vast amount of characters to choose from it would be nice to have totally different characters each year.
You can of course fit the letters into the Fireplace, and pull the flag open to send them all flying out, but it gets quite cramped, and I found the letters don’t shoot out as satisfyingly as with just one tile. I haven’t been able to respond to every single comment, but I’ve read every single one, and it’s been so much fun counting down the days to Christmas!LEGO® building kits satisfy strict industry quality standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart perfectly every time - and it's been that way since 1958. In trying to find something positive to say about this plain build, the best I could do is that the flat silver mugs are kinda rare, and new, so getting 2 is a small bonus? I was a little disappointed with the Hedwig and chocolate frog as we had already received these in prior year calendars.
Following your blog is a big part of opening the Harry Potter calendar every year for my daughter and me. While I like that all the major house colours are featured, to give it a bit of a Hogwarts feel, it just feels like quite an underwhelming build to finish the Advent Calendar on – very underwhelming, and doesn’t really give you a sense of excitement or completion that you get from other Advent Calendars, where the final window is usually the crescendo and culmination of the countdown till Christmas.Are you sure Day 11 is Griphook and not the head goblin (the one who’s at the counter when Harry arrives at the bank)?
Great Deal
