About this deal

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? Nothing too exciting or Yule Ball-related, but as we’re approaching Christmas, it feels suitably festive! Thanks for the great work as always Jay. Following your blog is a big part of opening the Harry Potter calendar every year for my daughter and me. x HARRY POTTER™ RAVENCLAW™ Mini Bath Fizzer 50g- Immerse yourself in the essence of loyalty and kindness as this bath bomb fizzes around you

You can now start putting these Christmas Trees together, and assemble this iconic Great Hall look from the Goblet of Fire. 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. Many of the scenes and locations referenced here, such as Dudley’s pig tail, the Diagon Alley entrance all have Hagrid’s fingerprints, and I think it’s such a huge miss that we didn’t get a Santa-version of Hagrid, which would have been absolutely perfect. Maybe his giant minifigure can’t fit into Advent Calendar windows… \ I have listed the advent calendar’s contents below with photos. If you want to keep the contents a surprise don’t read anymore!

The Harry Potter advent calendars so far have a main theme that links all the gifts. In 2019, the surprises where referring to the first year of Harry Potter in Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this Harry Potter Advent Calendar 2020 the main theme is the Yule Ball, happened on the Christmas 1994 during the Triwizard Tournament. I do wish we got a few more accessories such as gold cups, or some other Wizard paraphernalia, so I think Day 14 is a bit of a plain window, but at the very least, it connects to Day 13’s vault. Day 12 is a peculiar, but interesting build – a window! At first, when putting this together, I wasn’t quite sure that it was thanks to its odd shape.

I don’t believe a Grand Piano was featured prominently in the Yule Ball – the closest reference I could find was on the stage, and it was mostly obscured by Olympe Maxime in the shot. This magical, festive calendar is a perfect pre-Christmas gift for kids aged 7 and up – with 24 days of surprises and imaginative Harry Potter fun that lasts all year long. I do like the Yule Ball invitation, which is a printed 2 x 3 tile, with a really nice holographic effect to it. Please also feel free to follow my 2020 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar and 2020 Friends Advent Calendar countdown as well, which will be posted shortly! The build is fairly basic, but I like small details like transparent studs for lamps, and studs for Harry and Griphook to stand on, since their short legs doesn’t allow them to sit.It’s great that we got the Parvati Twins and Cho Chang, but there is a massive Hufflepuff omission – I think not having the Hogwarts champion (and future vampire teenage hearththrob) Cedric Diggory is a big miss for this calendar. And that’s it for Day 2 so far! We’re off to a pretty good start and I can’t see what tomorrow will bring!

Here we are with the first opening of the LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar 2020. As expected, the first gift is Harry Potter in his elegant dress for the Yule Ball. I was really surprised (and impressed!) that such a obscure reference from the Goblet of Fire made its way into the Advent Calendar, and the gramophone actually makes for a great minifigure-scale build to flesh out the scene. Like yesterday’s Durmstrang Ship, the Beauxbatons’ Carriage was used to transport the Beauxbaton Academy of Magic students to Hogwarts for the Triwizard tournament. It’s also based on the set 75958 Beauxbatons’ Carriage: Arrival at Hogwarts. x HARRY POTTER™ Lightning Bolt Blender Sponge – effortlessly blends any makeup looks for a flawless finish in a flashHARRY POTTER™ GRYFFINDOR™ Mini Bath FizzerINGREDIENTS: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Sodium Sulfate, Glycerin, Parfum (Fragrance), Limonene, Linalool, Dipropylene Glycol, CI 14700 (Red 4), CI 17200 (Red 33), CI 19140 (Yellow 5), CI 42090 (Blue 1).

It’s great to get such a substantial build for Day 21, and it looks like we’re near the end of Harry’s journey to Hogwarts. The one downside of having minifigures with short legs that don’t bend is that you can’t properly sit them down at the table, which is a bit of a bummer, but I guess it still looks okay with everyone standing. I do have to give kudos to the design team for coming up with this simple board game, that younger kids will get to enjoy on Christmas Eve, and how you chronologically trace Harry’s journey to Hogwarts from Privet Drive, to Diagon Alley all the way to the Great Hall, which makes for a great story-telling element, to get kids into Harry Potter.
