I get the theme Hogsmeade but also find this years calendar lacked any real thought. Why not something related to the shrieking shack (the barrier); which would have played well with a scene between Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco. Including Harry’s invisibility cloak would have been a nice surprise. I see no reason for two Christmas trees; other than lack of ideas. I throughly enjoy everything LEGO Harry Potter but this set fell flat. I hope to see an improvement next year; such as, provide a mystery item that is only revealed behind door 24 and does not show up on the how to build list.

This year’s Harry Potter Advent Calendar was really disappointing. I have gotten the Harry Potter calendar Lego put out for three years now, and so far this one is pretty disappointing. The builds are extremely basic and some could be in any set. A table and chair with mistletoe? A bench? Very disappointing. It seems like this is Hogsmeade themed. It’s alright since I have the village. Another thing- it’s tiring getting Harry, Ron, and Hermione every year. It would be better to have some variety, although I do appreciate their winter clothes in this set.

My daughter at the age of ten is STILL a huge Harry Potter fan. When we went to Myers to pick up a few necessities, this caught her eye. She loved it but didn’t say anything while we were in the store. She was almost in tears when we left. When I asked her why she was upset, she said she saw the Harry Potter Advent Calendar, loved it, but didn’t want to ask for too much. I told her that she could always ask, that it wasn’t expensive, not too much. We made a special trip back to Myers for it and she was so happy. She loves the figures which work well with her other Harry Potter Lego sets.

Nothing great with this advent calendar. Between the 24th being a snowman, and not one, but two christmas trees?? Is it a Harry potter advent calendar or not? Not to add that this year they removed the base plate for the minifigure that we had past year. At least this time they didn't forgot any minifigure that we supposed to be included. Maybe you should put someone that actually like harry potter to create the advent calendar. It is not a 60$ cad set.
