I love how the bat and spider in the forbidden forest feel like a callback to the 2001 wave. Those guys were practically main characters back then.

Lego: hmm we need to make new harry potter sets for 2024, any ideas? Fans: we would love more deathly hallows sets Lego: 4 billionth remake of Hagrids hut it is

The book accurate Ravenclaw tile in the sorting hat set is the smallest detail, but one most HP merch tends to ignore

The Forbidden Forest is like a magical creature battle pack.

I would love those new 1x2 cheese slopes in both gray colors, as well as brown and other earth tones! Could be a great landscaping piece.

That's insane. I can't believe it took this long for them to produce a smooth grate, it's such an incredibly versatile part. Should be as ubiquitous as the cheese slope. We also need a cheese slope that's one brick tall.

Yay a ford that comes as its own set and not in a bigger one

As someone who's collected every frog color, I'm so hyped for the olive green frog!

I'm not really a harry potter fan, but I like cars and the stand-alone ford is an easy buy. Hagrid's hut looks like it could fit well alongside my blacksmith shop and the new medieval town square 🤔

Those oven mitts make getting the set worth it for everybody, not just Harry Potter fans.

Lego fan : "God awful stickers" Also lego fans : "as usual, not printed very well"

Honestly, i wasn't too excited about a new Hagrids hut, but honestly it looks great! I hope we get a bigger Great hall in this new wave

THE 1X2 CHEESE SLOPE WITHOUT THE GRATE. I was thinking about this piece just the other day, and now here it is. Why hasn't it existed before?

That one by two cheese slops has been my dream for years!!!! 😅😅😅

Its great that we are finally getting a bronze eagle for the Ravenclaw badge for the first time in the sorting hat.

That grate -less 1 by 2 is amazing i always though as a child that they existed But i just did not have them

Best Lego KZfaqr, he always hears everything before everyone else. Always has a good ear to find all the good sets early too!

Cho was in 6th year when the owlery encounter was done and Harry was in 5th year. It's odd for them to use medium legs for young adults but Daniel Radcliffe is a short king so

9:58 How CUTE is that baby owl!

On the one hand it seems like this wave is trying to win back the slightly older crowd the theme was targeted at from 2018-20 by making a less blocky castle, returning to the gray roofs, and dropping the disposable foldout sets. At the same time there’s a lot of that early 2000s HP magic here for the first time in awhile, most obviously in the hidden compartment in the boathouse set which feels straight out of 2001. All the creatures in the hogwarts sets are very early 2000s too. I think this third iteration of the rebooted theme could be one of the best based on just these smaller sets. Also I hadn’t realized how different the new flying car is. It’s still an easy pass for me though and I’ll wait until it’s inevitably rereleased again. Not all positives though. Hagrid’s Hut and especially the sorting hat feel very overpriced. The sorting hat also really doesn’t look like it’s at the level of detail I’d expect for an 18+ set but I’m not sure what could’ve been done to improve it.

Love the forbidden forest. Its strange - if a set like that were released on the star wars side of things people would have a mental breakdown over how inaccurate it is. A lot of the magic and creativity of lego has been lost to that mindset.

What an amazing wave! I will say if I did have plans to pick up at-least one of these sets, but after your reviews, I’m sold. These sets look really great and you did a simply fantastic job showcasing them. Totally thought of crystal king too, and I was just so flabbergasted with how they achieved that roof as a fellow moc builder that has attempted its daunting shaping. The gatehouse has to be the first one I’m picking up. (Yes that was influenced by the new frog, I must have them all and once you get the trans green one down the rest sort of become formalities xD) anywho, this is a wonderful wave and I can’t wait to see what this year has in store for lego Harry Potter.

Yeah! The boat house is the set I was looking forward to the most. Glad to see the surprise appearance of it at the end!

I live for these review videos! Gives me an idea of which sets i should buy. Thanks once again for the great video!

Harry Potter video!! So happy to hear your thoughts on this wave... I know the boathouse set in autumn time frame makes it unlikely but I wish they would do the entire castle reboot set in winter with snow covering all the buildings, the white tops on the dark bluish gray roofs looks gorgeous 😊

As I've always suspected. Caleb is a Slytherin!

I don’t collect hairy potter Lego sets but that owl tower is fantastic!

Lego Star Wars fans and lego Harry Potter fans are so much different and I’m all for it

I really love how magical and whimsical all these sets look! It's just the best marriage between the 2001 line you covered for the retrospective, and today's better construction and higher cuantity of useful or versatile pieces!

i’m really looking forward to adding these sets to my harry potter collection, awesome video!

Love to see a return of the grey roofs, also more play sets that aren't humongous and break the bank.

I like how you interact and take suggestions from people on your vids, and spend time and money to make each video, love your vids 😊

Those torso prints are great!

I wish the Harris’s hut was cheaper than £64.99 but to be fair to Lego I think this is a perfect set with everything that could be included

I love the frog compartment in the boat house, it feels right out of the original wave of sets!

Looks like some great pieces and some really good colors.. actually excited for the new sets of Harry Potter. Great video and review..

The 1x2 slope without a grate is cursed to me lol ooh the rubber spike piece use is very nice I cant believe only now we get olive green frog

I like the new face print for the Cornish Pixie, with them winking

Great to see the car as its own set. I’ve been getting some of the speed champions cars that have been film cars (James bond, Fast and furious etc) and the smaller Batmobile so I may get that to go along with them.

I bet that baby owl is actually Ron's owl Pig, and the frog in olive green is Neville's toed.

my only problem with these sets are the cartoony looks to the animals but lego has been doing that for a while now. i’ve always loved the original dragon piece that used to be norbert

That Olive Green Frog made my day

I also love that this version of Hagrid’s hut is the version from the first two movies, because the last one was the one from the later films

One strange thought- This may be Lego’s final cycle for Harry Potter- the film series. The series is supposedly coming in 2026. Maybe these sets and the upcoming 2 years of sets are Lego giving the film series a “last hurrah, pull out all the stops, best of the best” line.

I already watched two reviews of this new hut, but can't miss your amazing reviews! So hyped to save some money for these 🤩🤩🤩 1. I was pretty suprised with new prints for Harry and Ron. It's shocking for me that something like ultimate Harry Potter is even getting updated prints! 2. This set is pretty unique! Pixie's print is new and it is nice to get another hipogriph (there were many according to the books, like a whole steed!) 3. This small owl is Pigwidgeon, Ron's owl from the books. Who would though that LEGO gonna make this one ? I wonder what these gray claw pieces are supposed to be, small owlhouses? Love this new print. Filch inclusion is dissapointing. New character from Goblet of Fire or maybe one student would be much better. Maybe older Seamus or Cedric with a Potter Stinks badge! 4. I really want to hear all the combinations. Honestly, I was hoping for international (mostly) four options for each house and 27 with one line in diffrent languages 5. Hut is a w e s o m e. Gloves were acomplished really clever. I love Hagird and this variant is great. Portraits are interesting, can't wait to get my hands on them;) I'm waiting for your boat house review. There is maybe not much, but 6/10 2018 Macgonagal is put in a great shame by 10/10 new version :D

Yesturday I was hunting all over my local stores for the new Lego but I only found one but I’m acctullally happy because it was the one I wanted most which was the flying ford anglia

1:58 this piece will be so useful! I always wanted something like it Its nice to get the ford anglia in it's own set, also the recolor is great The forbidden forest set should be half the price The sorting hat is an awesome set, but iy should also be half the price. I hope the sound brick and house prints come in other sets in future Hagrids hut is awesome, I just wish it was cheaper 18:35 Those mitts are amazing Amazing wave

As someone who still has his original Hagrid's hut from 2000, I will admit, this latest one has a way better interior and roof. I could never get that paper roof to work right.

Being a long time collector of this theme, I'm not excited by some of the sets, but of course I understand LEGO strategy to relaunch the theme every three year giving new collectors those iconic characters and locations. And, by the way, I appreciate that until now LEGO always tried to make sets interesting avoiding pure simple remakes. Hagrid's Hut is an example of this, considering this is the PS and CoS one, while the 2019 was the PoA one. So different hut, new characters, new moulds (but I would have prefered a dark brown or dark gray Fang). Owlery is a very good set too, while the Boathouse doesn't appeal me too much. Forbidden Forest, while having some interesting pieces, it's useless for me and overpriced. Considering this new Buckbeak appeared also in Sirius Escape set, overpriced too, I'm starting to suspect that the hyppogrif is boss of a gang of thiefs. Not being interested at all in LEGO objects I have no opinion on the Sorting Hat.

I bought the flying ford anglia a couple days ago on a school trip to Disneyland. I love it so much as a Harry Potter fan that hasn’t done much Lego before!!

Iirc the Hagrids Hut set was specifically designed to connect to the Forbidden Forest. Given that the only negative I have for it is the lack of a 3rd connection point so you can connect it and those side builds at the same time.

I think the minifigure scale sorting hat in the sorting hat set is also new in Reddish Brown.

For the first time in a long time, I'm actually really excited about LEGO Harry Potter again! These set's are really nice, and of course your review is delightful as always😃 I really should get back to making Harry Potter videos though, I miss it so much 😅

Need that flying Ford to go with my Hogwarts Express

Wow! I never bought harry potter sets before but this new wave is super exciting! I might buy all the castle sets!

This new theme doesn’t initially look like it has much, but I wasn’t pleasantly surprised by what each set packs in. I do wish we could’ve gotten a bit grander boat house due to its significance in the final film, but for its first ever set this isnt too bad. Im sure its due to its scaling with the rest of the sets

I hope they make like a long-term, "slow burn" line up where all the sets are very detailed and high quality like this, and you can eventually build them together to the most detailed version of Hogwarts yet, with lots and lots of small and large locations from the individual sets.

There was also the 4728 Ford Anglia set haha that was the one I had as a kid

Ohhhh what a surprise twist at the end

9:07 THEY GOT PIDWIGEON!!! (Ron's owl)

The little set info cards that appear ln screen feature British Pounds twice - I assume the number on the right is supposed to be Euro?

Dang it, now I need to start over from my 2018 sets.

good to see grey Hogwarts grey roofs back again, definitely getting the owlery and boathouse, and highly considering hagrids hut as an extension of the hut i own already (2019 version), not sure about the sorting hat yet. other stuff i wont be getting.

The printed Eeylops brick in the Owlery set tells me it’s all but certain that an Eeylops Owl Emporium set is in the pipeline 🤓

Such a wonderful wholesome review ❤

I love the Hogwarts Owlery with five owls.

filch is there because beginning of five. it makes ur where it’s both interactions with cho

Is that a new cute plastic shape? You could do a whole new video just on that one!🤩

I think I like LEGO again. For a while, LEGO felt like it was going for accuracy rather than fun, and it restricted a ton of my enjoyment--most evidently in Star Wars and Harry Potter sets; no more black and blue Tie Fighters, no more color rich Harry Potter sets. I was curious what 'fresh start' meant when I saw the video, and as somebody who's kinda tapped out of the Harry Potter line after being disappoined in the reboot, these sets are... really cool. A design technique I think LEGO used to do very well in their older sets is incorporating scene lighting into set color palettes--instead aiming for technical accuracy. The Forbidden Forest is a good example--typically you'll get brown trees and dark-green leaves. Sure, that's 'technically accurate', but just looking at the set, you don't get any of the atmosphere that the scene is meant to provide. Swapping that colorscheme to dark blues and purples compensates for its palette in bright settings, and even better, designing the set with glow-in-the-dark features encourages play in the dark, which also enhances the atmosphere. It feels actually designed to encourage play fitting of the scene, rather than on-screen accuracy. And sure, we do get a lot of Hagrid's Hut sets, but this one looks just amazing. Stickers aside, the use of those orange-brown colors with pink highlights for accessories is wonderful, and the build is detailed without appearing too sharp, and detracting from the coziness of the setting. 10/10 build for me. It might be the perfect Hagrid's hut. I think the Friends line's success might have, thankfully, encouraged LEGO to step away from the more restrictive color schemes of past sets, and really allow a level of artistic flexibility for the designers in how they intuit licensed sets. Part of the fun of LEGO Harry Potter was always seeing how designers interpreted--not translated--the settings that were built. You were never hoping for 1-1 accuracy, but rather an almost book-like adaptation of the concepts of the scene which, to me (as a perpetual hater of the later grey color palettes of the movies), is really exciting. I'm excited to see what the rest of the Hogwarts sets they promise bring. So glad to see LEGO return to play-centric sets for these classic themes.

oh you know it’s a good day when Cheesy posts! ❤️ Thanks for making my day brother!

an awesome wave of sets!

I haven't purchased much HP, trying not to fall down the proverbial rabbit hole. 🤣! However, I did purchase the Micro scale Hogwarts last fall per your recommendation, Thx ! Having watched this review, I've decided to get the New Hut & Owlery. Thanks for the Great review Cheesey ! 💕

I REALLY hope that new slope will NOT break as all minislopes do nowadays!

Where's that "thestral" you keep talking about? I don't see anything. I see Hermione, Harry, Buckbeak, a spider and owl? I think you should stop reading that Quibbler nonsense ;)

76248: Hagrid's Hut: An Unexpected Visit is set 76428

Not super into the whole Harry Potter thing, but some of these pieces and colors are just amazing. A 1x2 slope WITHOUT the holes is already amazing, but A SOUND BRICK?! I'm sure SOMEBODY in the community will figure out how to mod that thing in due time, and that opens up a whole world of possibilities for MOCs. Oh, and I forgot to mention the OBVIOUS best part, the RECOLORED FROG! Seriously, always great to get more frogs.

I really like all of the sets but I just wish that Hagrid’s Hut had the side part and not just a dog house.

Cobi has been using the 1x2 slope for YEARS. It's just another case of Lego copying other companies and people still say other brands are rip-offs.

I love Hagrid's new costume!

I feel like just about everything I've been seeing in this wave is heavily overpriced. The only two mentioned here I'd say are reasonable are the Ford and the Boathouse (though I would say the Boathouse could stand to lose just a few dollars)

I like this one at first I wasn't sure given it's price but for almost 900 pieces I think it will be worth it it's obviously going to be more detailed then before which is cool

I am really loving this new series. I see there are almost no stickers and the portraits are in a sepia tone (the faces are not yellow yellow, but at the very least yellow enough that you can use the knight and such as medieval lego / castle portraits. Now as a jealous castle fan, I do wonder why they started using only prints here. Not that I am complaining, I might actually get these sets and be happy about them, butt he HP sets were always expensive - and had a ton of stickers, so this can't be the reason why they are focusing on prints only, or mostly / many prints. I was under the impression that the 18+ sets get prints - however the medieval town and the sorting hat both have ... stickers. So what exactly gives with that?

We never had an animated LEGO Harry Potter material

Too expensive. I like new animal molds, but old hut was already great. I still dont understand why Fang is wrong Color.

11:24 I’m guessing they will include more of these in the summer wave

Yeah, I saw the Creatures in the Forbidden Forest (not sure that's the title) set early at Meijer

I’m not a big harry potter fan but I love unique and new pieces so this video was interesting.

Do you know if any of the previous ford Anglias were the same as you mentioned this was the third? With original 4 privet drive With Hogwarts express With newer 4 privet drive With whomping willow Stand-alone

9:42 This set reminded me of Hogwarts legacy, first I will explain that in a certain part of story you have to find a certain ghost but how you find it varies by the house you are in(Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Hufflepuff) and if you are in Ravenclaw you will meet him in Owlery after you solve the puzzle, And yes I am a Ravenclaw (I also did the Official test on the wizarding world website (the official HP site run by the rights holders )

I want that talking brick only 😅

I regret watching this video because it's making me want to start collecting hp sets again lol The owelery looks so nice!

I used to be a Harry Potter fan but the overkill of lacklustre franchise stuff like this killed the joy for me.

Chamber of Secrets was peak HP Lego. The way all the Hogwarts sets complimented each other?? Man, they really stopped putting any effort in after that. This new stuff looks fun though, more toys than collectables. I like that.

I'm guessing the owlry does not have connection points because in the Hogwarts map the owlry is not connected to the castle in any way.

might try and find hagrids hut, i think it will look nice in a fantasy medieval village

Im guessing the portraits will all fit in the great hall set

Gotta love Hagrid.

The fact that there aren’t many stickers is good for other lego themes, but I doubt lego will keep doing this without an up charge

im not a harry potter fan but i wouldnt mind picking up the ford angila set, it looks pretty nice

I agree with the sorting hat putting you in slytherin
