LEGO 76390 Harry Potter Advent Calendar 2021 Christmas Toys and Board Game Gift for Kids Aged 7 with 6 Minifigures

Product Information

This is our first Harry Potter advent calendar, and though I had nothing to compare it to, we had a lot of similar thoughts/ratings for each day. A slightly disappointing experience apart from the occasional surprise like Dudley and the printed pieces Let us hope that 2022 will be a much better year for everyone. This unassuming pillar may look solid, but is actually the secret entrance to Platform 9¾ where Hogwarts students catch the train to get to Hogwarts.

Day 21 is quite possibly the most elaborate build yet, at least by piece-count and size – a large Hogwarts Feast!

The best feature is his back printing, where a little pigtail pokes out from the back of his pyjamas, and Dudley has an alternate face that’s a mixture of surprise and shock. There’s a distinct layout to the builds for most of the days – 15 in fact – I wonder why some aren’t there? Then the black bit is more of a support for it rather than an odd piece that sticks out at the top, and you have the same grey bit underneath as the flat brick lower down. I was wondering whether anybody knows why the movies choose to make these changes and why LEGO chooses to reflect the movies as opposed to the books in their sets and calendars.

At least the Big Trio now has competition, and Harry has his enemy to torment him for the remainder of his schooling life at Hogwarts.

Harry is flummoxed as he’s completely new to the Wizarding World, and he needs the guidance of the Weasley family to cross the barrier into Platform 9¾ – making a quick run into the pillar.DISCLAIMER: LEGO, The LEGO logo, the Brick and Knob configurations and the minifigure are trademarks of the LEGO group, which does not sponsor, authorise or endorse Blocks magazine. If you put the flap that acts as the board back up, you can actually see that there are more builds to be placed along beside the path and where they go, and they reflect this theory. Day 10’s build takes us to Gringotts with this Bank Counter, complete with Gringott’s signature round lights that appear on each counter. A pretty fun gimmick, and I like that there’s some innovation in the advent calendar, and this should hopefully be very playable for families!

While I did enjoy some of the builds, and the random Chocolate Frog Cards, I don’t think it compares to previous Harry Potter Advent Calendars, which had a cohesive scene such as last year’s Yule Ball, or even micro models which were a lot of fun. Compare and explore our range of Harry Potter Advent Calendars to find the perfect one for your little wizard. That said, it looks much better once you load it up with Hedwig, a chocolate frog and some spellbooks! It may be a late post for those in New Zealand, and very early one for any in Hawaii (maybe even posted before the day has arrived there).

Day 5’s build is neat, and I’m sure Potterheads will be delighted to get a really iconic piece (of cake) from the Philosopher’s Stone to add to their collection. This calendar included two cookies (12 Dec), four tiles with the Hogwarts house crests (20 Dec), two envelopes (22 Dec) and as a special treat on 24 December: A 2×3 tile printed as Hogwarts acceptance letter, as well as 1×2 tiles with Wingardium Leviosa spell and a chocolate bar print. Anyway, thank you so much to everyone who has been following the 2021 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar countdown every day, going on this journey to Hogwarts together!
