True North Bricks has covered loads of Harry Potter sets recently, but there is one more that I’d like to highlight – the Hogwarts Magical Trunk (76399). I am super excited about this set primarily because of all the minifigure elements it includes – so much diversity! However, the trunk itself looks pretty cute too. The Magical Trunk joins other

The Hogwarts Express rolls into

If you head on over to the LEGO®️ website you will see listings for two of the upcoming 2022 Advent Calendars. And while there isn’t much fanfare to accompany them, we now have pricing, details and photos for the Harry Potter and Star Wars calendars. I know I look forward to these two themes the most among the year’s entries.

And at last, we finally get a set that references the final book/film of the franchise, The Deathly Hallows. But it also references elements of The Order of the Phoenix. In this second largest set of the wave, you will

We continue our review of all things Harry Potter with Hogwarts: Dumbledore’s Office (76402). This is the penultimate review of the HP sets and the second of two Hogwarts modular builds from this wave. I have to say right at the start that this is easily the better of the two modular sets. Not Just for being a bigger build

The Shrieking Shack & Whomping Willow (76407) is here in all it’s creepy, crooked fun. For this set we’re staying with Book/Film 3: The Prisoner of Azkaban. The Shrieking Shack is allegedly one of the most haunted places in Britain – which is saying something in the Wizarding world. It’s also a key scene in the story as quite a

It’s Dragon Week here at TrueNorthBricks, which means it’s the perfect time to review the Hungarian Horntail Dragon (76406). This beasty is a very cool addition to the Harry Potter line-up of built creatures. And if I may say this early on, it’s one of the best. It’s a wonderfully realized set with great details, colour and movement. Here we

Hogwarts Courtyard: Sirius’s Rescue (76401) is one of two new castle expansion sets in the Harry Potter summer 2022 wave. Today’s installment brings us another scene from Book/Film 3: The Prisoner of Azkaban. That is easily my favourite of the films and one of the better books in the series. In this set, we get another section of Hogwarts to

My reviews of the Summer 2022 Harry Potter line-up continues with the Hogwarts Carriage and Thestrals (76400). After reviewing the largest set, we’re now heading the opposite way with the smallest. For today’s review we’re checking out a small scene from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Traditionally, students take a carriage to Hogwarts Castle from the train

This summer is going to be full of magic thanks to the newest wave of Harry Potter sets. The largest and most magical of these (in my opinion) is absolutely 12 Grimmauld Place (76408). This unassuming townhome is in reality, the hideout of the Order of the Phoenix. In the books & films, the Order is a group of brave
