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). Compared with the calendar, only with one set of wands – but she’s to come with both chocolate frog and wizard card as Ron. To be honest, I have no idea what any additional costs might be, but if it only a small increase, I think Hagrid is a much better choice for the calendar, as he played a key role in many parts of Harry’s journey to Hogwarts. Oh, this was a pleasant surprise that was not spoiled on the box – Day 22 gives us another minifigure, Harry’s arch-nemesis Draco Malfoy from House Slytherin! The LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar (76390) contains 24 daily gifts for kids to reveal throughout December’s build-up to Christmas.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. As the big day approaches, kids can combine the toys to recreate Harry’s amazing journey from Privet Drive to Hogwarts™: the Hogwarts letters arriving through the fireplace; collecting gold from Gringotts’ vault; picking up Harry’s school supplies; and meeting Hedwig™ the owl. Apart from that, we also get one chocolate frog, a Hogwarts Express ticket, and a Chocolate Frog Card. Below, I’ve shown how to build it step by step for those who might struggle making sense of the instructions.The included model is fine, though it would have been nice if they had been able to add a Christmas wreath (similar to what I added to the Leaky Cauldron sign). As calendar, but include envelope along with Harry (previous calendars often had accessories with the figures). 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.

It’s a really strong theme and allows a lot of storytelling to be put into each build – something that has been missing from previous years. 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!

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.
