Product Information

In total Boots says it will be selling 28 advent calendars and all of them will be on sale from 29 September 2020, apart from the No7 beauty calendar which launches in October. Jay, you have been an indispensable part of our advent for years! Thank you! 💕 And your suggestion about Sirius’ head in the fireplace was pure genius! On the other side of the counter is a small platform… suitable for a short minifigure to be placed there – maybe a clue on what we’ll get in Day 11? The model is really similar to the movie and it is really effective. Moreover, I think it is really remarkable the blue flame with lightning dots in it. Let start opening. First of all, even the simple opening the box to show the 24 small cases gives you the fantastic overview of the Main Hall of Hogwats.

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. While the presence of the Christmas Tree does give off very festive vibes as we’re 2 days from Christmas… I can’t help quite feel a little underwhelmed that there isn’t really a “climax” to the calendar. This year there was the second edition of the Harry Potter Advent Calendar, with the usual 24 gifts. Hey Brenda, great to have you here! Your grandson has great taste in gifts, and I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far! Of course the golden egg is a single part, even if a dedicated print could have improved a bit. On the other hand, the sofa is a simple model in dark red without any relevant things.

There are 6 minifigures, I like the girls dresses and prints, they are really accurate and effective, on the other hand the three main characters are the same as in other sets and this is a bit disappointing with respect to 2019 version. The focus on the Yule Ball has made this a particularly cohesive experience, and it’s been a lot of fun reliving the scenes, characters and even small little references to obscure scenes/props from the Goblet of Fire movie.

Have seen a few comments about wrong sets… We got the gramophone on day 1: so no Harry!! 😱😱😱😳😥😢 Somewhat confused 7yr old did his best without picture or understanding of how music used to be played! But hey, it’s great that Harry finally has his wand, which is 11″ long, made of holly, and possessed a phoenix feather core. Build-wise, I feel like there were a lot more misses than hits – the minifigures were just okay– getting the main trio is almost to be expected, and Draco Malfoy was a nice surprise, as was Dudley Dursley, but I was very surprised that we didn’t get Hagrid, who was instrumental in guiding Harry through his journey to Hogwarts.I would really like to know your feeling of the calendar, so, please, let me know in the comments below.
