The woman who does the lego Is back

Having 1 student from each house should be the norm for the school sets, particularly the classroom sets. I know they have to include the main trio in most sets, but it would be so nice to be able to fill out the school with lots of different students from across the houses.

love the headphones for the Mandrake review

This Harry Potter wave reminds me of 2014 Star Wars and the final waves released on the movies before the sequel trilogy released like they knew it was their last time for a while they'd make sets because new movies were coming. Kinda like they know these are the last waves of Harry Potter movie sets before they're going to have more of a tv focus so they're just really hamming it out.

The Great Hall is my second favorite set I have ever built, my favorite is the UCS Millenium Falcon (2nd edition).

Great overview as usual Holly. If there are any Harry Potter set reviews I trust, it’s yours 😂

Great to see you back - I expect you have been busy and I hope that you are settling into your new environment nicely. Back to the Lego... thanks for this very informative viseo and keep up the fantastic work!

Great reviews! (And I love that you used the old Harry Potter video game music in the background!)

I’ve become a new fan of Harry Potter and watching your videos are so helpful for me to figure out what legos I want!!! Absolutely love ur videos 💗

It’s annoying that they still have not given Voldemort on the back of quirrrells head red eyes like he had in the film

Ow Wasn’t using my earmuffs when you pulled the Mandrake out.

31:05 There is a play feature. You can knock out the bathroom with the troll’s bat

Just hoped the great hall itself would little bit bigger, more smallers detailes. Like we have no fireplace, the teachers table without statue nor house point things. Etc.

Yay!! Excited to see your video on these sets! I’m so excited for the new castle sets! I’ll probably end up selling my green roof version to help pay for this one because it feels closer to what I think I’d enjoy. Not sure if you’ve made your move yet, but I hope it’s going well! 🌟

yes! I was waiting for ur review as I only buy after ur reviews. Hope the move has been good.

loving the new set up, hope everything is settling down after your move (not jealous at all!) look forward to you resuming your regular content calendar. have a good one!

Thanks for adding the Australian prices! Great review on the ship, looks like a good display piece.

Love your new review room/set up! Florida looks great on you. 🌞🌻

I have a really cool idea that they can do for the Hogwarts Tower and that is for each floor is a different set and with the floors they could add in different classrooms and the Gryffindor common room and the staircase

Could you do a room tour for your new Lego room?

First review/video from your new house in America on the main channel. 🎉

HP always tempts me. This line is the most I’ve ever been tempted. Everything looks so great this season.

My 7 year old daughter just got into the first book and film and loves Lego. And because I always wanted a Lego castle as a kid (but never got) the new modular castle system is coming at a perfect timing. 2 very happy people :)

I always enjoy your opinion on lego harry potter. Thank you

Great video and looks like your enjoying your new home

your new background looks so cool !

Love the colour of the mandrake pot! Glad theyre consistent with the herbology book set

Thank you for the choice of music. Ambient from the old Chamber of Secrets game is an automatic like from me. As for the sets: Aragog - I got 5 of these and together with 6 copies of 76432 and some 50 spiders (not to mention Ford Anglia and Fang) I've recreated the most detailed Aragog's Lair scene yet (c)(tm); the whole dark blue thing lends itself well to that. I did not expect this kind of customization potential from Harry Potter of all themes, so I'm very happy with how it turned out. Diagon Alley - I haven't built this one yet, but I'm happy to have another line with potential for expansion, excited to see how it'll look like in a few years. While individual parts might be not as ambitious as those large UCS sets, put together as a whole they can accomplish what a single $400-500 set can't. Also, Harry Potter is that one theme where I thought it wouldn't be possible to force inclusion into because of well-defined characters, but they've gone and done it ^_^ Mandrake - with Chamber of Secrets being my favorite getting this one was a no-brainer. However the mandrake not actually screaming is a missed opportunity for Lego Group, they could've easily gotten $50 more out of me by adding this feature. Nevertheless I welcome a touch of Botanical Collection in Harry Potter and if they ever made a similar-style Whomping Willow - I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Buckbeak - between it looking too mechanical, me not being a huge fan of Prisoner of Azkaban, the side build having no real potential to be combined with other sets and me having 6 spare Buckbeaks from my Aragog endeavour - it stands to reason I did not get this one. Triwizard - way I see this it was a mistake to try and combine so many things into a single set at this price range. Sacrifices had to be made, and the carriage is smaller and simpler compared to 75958 and feels like a side build. While the ship, supposedly a star of the set, also ended up kinda cramped and unwieldy. I did not get this one either. Potions - it's pretty impressive how much they accomplished with such a limited space. But I'd liked it more if ingredient holders came with lids so that those small pieces didn't fly all over the place. And then there's an elephant in the room - this build is obviously more detailed to those that come with 76435, making them look inferior next to it; and you also end up with 3 while you can only display 2 of them at a time. Great Hall - I saved building it for last, but overall I was happy to discover Atticus designed it and it offers a welcome change from those small and boring Boathouse and the Owlery. I agree it's a bit early to pass judgement on the castle system as a whole and looking forward to see what future holds for it.

My thing with the Buckbeak is that it really could’ve used custom molded pieces to save it from looking like a… janky, clunky mess. Hell, they made a custom mold for the troll and that’s just one part of a huge set. For a dedicated set for Buckbeak, could’ve really benefitted!

Welcome to the US, you are going to love it here!

I hope you’re really enjoying the USA ❤️🇺🇸 I was waiting for this review to buy any of the sets but now I’m going to buy the great hall because I’m all about those niche students and professors so thanks for the review

Love your new space 🎉

I love the new room!

You ARE able to destroy the bathroom stall in the Great Hall set. It’s why the pieces are attached together only by jumper plates. Also, you can remove one of the candles to attach the Fat Friar to make it look like he’s flying

love the car stand!!

Great review, as always. I just finished building the Potions Classroom and Olivanders/Madame Malkin's. I think they're both great. The only fault I could give is that the arch pieces (in the classroom) could have been printed instead of stickers. You get 6 of them in the set, that should make it worth being printed. Next up is the Great Hall. Can't wait!

hope u feel better abt the home sickness room looks fab!!!!!!!!

Evenings all have been interested in the potter lego for some time but never really bought into it... but would this new wave HW castle build be a good point to jump on as I assume we'll be seeing updates most of the past potter lego line????

The ship Holly/Mandr is sailing like the Durmstrang one *sits in a corner with popcorn

I'd love to see some videos combining the various sets that go together, like the diagonal alley sets together, the forest sets, and the castle sets to start getting an idea of where they're headed in future

How many brick bags are in the durmstrang ship set. Mine was opened when I received it in the mail and I am trying to confirm the contents...thanks

Love the new house!

Im really looking forward to getting Ollivanders and Madam Malkins. I have the large diagon alley and I originally didnt want these playsets but they are just so cute. The Durmstrang ship is the first set I want to buy as Ive been waiting for it so long. I think the potions classroom is well done for the size and Im really looking forward to how this new castle system turns out as I like the 2018-2020 ones but didnt really like the modulars

Can't wait for the next sets to connect them with the Great Hall

18:14 take away the carriage and make it a separate set with more horses, then reduce the price of the ship a little. 25:56 take away the rocks underneath and give me a hall wide enough for all four benches for the houses and I’m all in.

Oh and the Beauxbatons flying horses are NOT "Pegasus". They're Abraxans. Pegasus isn't a breed of flying horses. It's the name of the flying horse in greek mythology 😂

are you going to keep the older castles? im so tempted but I received the green and grey one as gifts.

What surprised me about the Durmstrang Ship is how light it was given the amount of parts used to build it.

I just bought the Barad-Dûr set and now I want the Harry Potter sets (I’ve run out of room to put them, so I put up more shelving in my room)

I need to know what lights you used in those billy bookcases 👀.

Could you measure the Great Hall from the flat front of the staircase straight to the back corner of the hall? I want to display it with the boathouse clipped onto the front and facing directly forward on my shelf, so that diagonal measurement is really important lol

I thought the blue and dark blue was to simulate night time? Pretty cool sets tho! Cant wait till overseas makes more of the alley sets hugeeee again for their MOCs.Super excited and thanks for thr new vid!

Great Review of the sets. Have fun at Brickworld.

Info on your shelf setup?

I'm really glad they're reusing the Pippin torso, that'll keep the price down.

I only got the potion class so far and I love it so much!! I definitely want the olivanders and madam malkin shop and maybe even buckbeak (only cuz tit would fit into my third year theme)

it would be cool at some point to see a comparison between the last 2 great halls for the last set.

when are you dropping the video showcasing the boathouse connected to the greathall? and Id love to know if the new hagrids hut/owlery fit in aswell

W new setup. MandR inspiration? 😅

Are those r the same cabinets that MandR uses? Looks a lot like his setup

The new potion bubbles look like they could be recolored as a mimbulus mimbletonia. This could mean we’re getting a greenhouse in the future.

Those dress torsos from Madam Malkin’s shop made me wish we had Lego sets of something I’d never imagined I’d want. Lego Peaky Blinders! Just imagine a Thomas Shelby Minifigure 😍 I wonder how a cloth piece would look as an overcoat? 🤔🤪

Shoutout to my boy Aragog for being the only set spot on for the price.

I was so excited for the diagon alley expansion when it was being leaked, but I’m actually disappointed by it and probably won’t get it 😢 Padma’s new skin tone makes her not look like Parvati’s twin, and I think the old one looked more accurate. And you voiced my thoughts exactly with the lack of details. Weasleys Wizard Wheezes stood out to me for the amazing minifigure selection and niche references, and this just doesn’t reach that level for me. But I guess that’s the benefit of this new system; I can pass on this one, and still build up a diagon alley over the next few years ❤

I wish they could have had a hair piece for Barty Crouch Sr, mainly as he's played by Roger Lloyd Pack who is known for a certain famous character.

Can’t wait to meet you at Brickworld this weekend

I’m getting the collectors hedwig next month

The sets that you have showed on this video, I am only going to buy the great hall, the ship and carriage, diagon alley and the potions class. The buckbeak is expensive for what it is, the mandrake I didn’t like it and Aragog Im not going to buy because I don’t like spiders. The spider of the potions class is going straight to trash. The potions class and the others rooms I will display wide open apart from the great hall, I think that the interior is beautiful. I really liked the sets of this year! As a new collector of Lego is good to see a new wave of diagon alley and the Hogwarts castle, it is a great opportunity for us. I really want them all!

Woow new studio! Simular to Ryans

THIS IS THE BEST DUMBLEDORE MINIFIGURE I'VE EVER SEEN😮

I much prefer this approach of selling Diagon alley in like, 1-2 shops at a time. The set that was supposed to be all of Diagon alley felt so... half-measure...

Would be very curious to see how the great hall integrates with some of the other new sets, never been a HP fan (#castlefan #piratesfan) but I picked up the Owlery and the new great hall is very tempting 😂

Awesome you had the Mandrake crying when you removed it from the pot

Only one I want is the ship. I have each of the POTC ships and I think it will go on the shelf with those.

Could you please add Canadian prices to your videos? I know it’s a little detail but it would help me out a lot.

I'm impressed with the production value of this video. It blows away the general quality of ash, bricksbymind and just2good these days. The rooms reverb is a bit of an issue, but I'm guessing there is acoustic foam buried somewhere to setup.

Awesome wave The old ship is better with details and more room, the new one looks better Both carriages are awesome The new potions bubbling potions pieces are cool The minifigures are awesome 3:53 The standard wizard minifigure is actually great, reminds me of Newt Scamander The arm printing really adds a lot The Great Hall set should have been just the great hall but bigger and more accurate, and the bathroom and common room (with the kitchen) should have been in another set

As an arachnophobe I can confirm that that Aragog is horrific. 10/10 set.

So happy ive grown older and i dont need to convince my parents to get the sets anymore 🤣

This wave is pretty cool but I'll likely not be collecting all of them, maybe the Great Hall and Aragog set. Honestly have more Harry Potter themed minifigures that rivals my Star Wars and Marvel figs since collecting the HP sets since 2018! 😂

lack of soundbrick on the mandrake!

The Rebels cubby hole is a love letter to the show.

Great Review Holly! The Hogwarts Legacy music made me wanna go and replay that game again 😆

Wish we had more LEGO Fantastic Beasts already LOL!

I don't agree that the potions classroom price is unreasonable. The previous potions classroom released in 2021 was 30 USD, and if you compare the 2, this new one from 2024 is so much better, more sturdy, has an extra minifig a lot less stickers, so many more details and connects to the castle. So given that the old potions class was 30, having this reimagined much better version costing 39.99 isn't unreasonable. Now, one might argue that 30 dollars for the old one is too much, but thats a different conversation 😅

Dang I already have two aragogs from past waves but this one is just better. I probably don't need a third Aragog lol

Echo's kinda distracting but hopefully it'll get sorted out soon

Leanne was a friend of Katie Bell and was with her when she touched the necklace.

Первый и последний наборы хороши, обязательно возьму себе в коллекцию. За видео спасибо, поддержу лайком! 🙂👍

The aragog 2d face is a deal breaker for me

i'm willing to buy the printed mandrake leaves. if you decide not to keep that.

My issue with Buckbeat (the Griffon) is that not only are the proportions off for its own body, it also doesn't scale to minifigure level at all. I'm not an expert, but when I looked up a piece of video, it was slightly taller and bigger than a horse, but double the width. For me, as a non Harry Potter fan, I was interested in it just as a creature on its own, just like Agagog. This however, seems a bit overpriced and overbuilt. They could have made a much smaller set, skip the sidebuild and slap a 25-35 dollar price on it and be done with it. The other set that was interesting was the ship, which I might have a use for in a medieval settings. Sadly this isn't a very usable ship. I think it looks way too slim, too tall and still basically too small for the type of ship it is. Not being able to access the interiors is just sad, you should be able to play in a ship, as it is much larger than a building but just built wrong. Interesting for someone to display, but not for me. I think the 3 in 1 pirate ship is a much better investment if you just want a good looking, somewhat realistic ship. Thanks for going into the entire line, this is great for Harry Potter fans and non Harry Potter fans alike.

That’s strange, I got the great hall set with all paper bags.

tbh i think the set is slightly over priced... i think around 170-180 usd wouldve been better

I think leanne is chos friend. Or maybe thats katie bells friend. Definitely one of the two

Either she bought the exact same shelves and table that MandR did and set them up the same way, or she's living with him? I had a feeling that they might be a thing given their small known history, her moving to Florida, him barely uploading right when she moved, and now this...

They just released the carriage, should have focused on the ship :/

OMG holly, when is there going to be a new room tour??

Can you do a house tour?
