Up next, behind day 10’s door, is the Goblet of Fire. Constructed out of several brown rounded LEGO pieces, it sits atop a sandy beige floor. He has a head with double-sided printing. One face is angry and wild, while the other is calm and happy. But that’s okay – not every day can be amazing! Day 14 – The Hall of Prophecies Day 14 – The Hall of Prophecies

He has a head piece with a face printed on only 1 side. He, of course, has no hair to cover up a second face if one were printed on there. The micro build behind the door of day 20 is the Weasley family home, otherwise known as The Burrow. We’ve finally reached Christmas eve, and behind the door for day 24 is the Neville Longbottom Minifigure, complete with the Sword of Gryffindor. There isn’t room for this piece to actually sit in the goblet as you might want it to, but it’s still a nice little touch. It is the perfect size for a Minifigure to hold it, though! It’s always awesome when LEGO has a little fun, and they did themselves proud here! Day 17 – The Pensieve Day 17 – The Pensieve

It’s still an amazing (but tiny) display piece, though. Day 24 – Neville Longbottom and The Sword of Gryffindor Day 24 – Neville Longbottom and The Sword of Gryffindor Overall, the Professor Horace Slughorn as an armchair micro build is the kind of crazy nonsense that we’re here for. It is meant to look like the face carved into the wall of the chamber. You can see the two eyes, the nose, and the mouth that is opened up sideways to reveal what is behind it. It is scaled pretty correctly for the Minifigures, so at least there’s some playability in that sense. Overall, Rubeus Hagrid’s Flying Motorcycle definitely isn’t the worst micro build ever, and despite it being small, you can actually have some fun with it. Day 20 – The Burrow Day 20 – The Burrow

But this micro build truly looks its best when it has the head on top of it. It’s a ridiculous look, but it’s also incredible, and we love that LEGO went there and made it happen!

Another rumored set that has caught our eye is 76408. A current LEGO Potter set with the same price point is 76393 Harry Potter & Hermione Granger, which is two 10″ tall (26 cm) movable character figures. Could the rumored set feature Ron and another character? They’re good, but they’re not miracle workers, and they did the best that they could with The Burrow, given the tiny micro build scale. Day 21 – Hedwig and game spinner Day 21 – Hedwig and game spinner

Overall, Neville Longbottom is a brilliant finale to the LEGO Harry Potter Advent calendar, and the Sword of Gryffindor is a grand and amazing-looking accessory. Using the furniture and accessories included in the set (such as the Sorting Hat, a cauldron, goblets, the Marauder’s Map, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, and The Quibbler), the trunk opens up, and three moments from the movies can be re-created: the Sorting Ceremony, a Great Hall feast, and common room scenes. Game included – Once all the doors have been opened, there’s a game included for kids to play using their newly acquired Harry Potter™ toys The dragon is made out of various shades of gray, and the bladed wings can tilt up and down. The head can also tilt side to side too, adding a little more dynamic-ness to the whole set. We do absolutely love the rows of prophecy balls that sit on the shelves, and it would be interesting to see how many of these micro builds lined up would look.

We also get a tiny head of the basilisk emerging from the ‘mouth’ of the face. It is only a small single LEGO piece cast in a greeny-gray color and features no additional printing on it.

LEGO released a version of Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter Minifigure blind bags. That one had a slightly bluer hue and also a clear piece attached to her foot to make her look like she was floating. But the whole thing takes on another sense of scale when combined with the escaped dragon that sits on its roof. We also get a small clear piece with a piece of paper printed onto it. On that paper is written Harry Potter’s name, from when it is ejected from the Goblet of Fire.As with all other Minifigures with double-sided head printing, her bright pink hair covers up the face that isn’t in use. Day 22 reveals one of the most incredible micro builds of the 2022 LEGO Harry Potter Advent calendar: The Gringotts Wizarding Bank and escaped dragon set. We also love the added interactive element of the board game. It’s a great feature that none of the other LEGO Advent calendars have. The motorcycle can be separated from the clear piece that connects it to the base. This allows you to fly it around and interact with other sets. It’s not much, but it’s fun.
