Harry first meets Ron at Kings Cross Station, where he can’t figure out where to find Platform 9¾, and bumps into the Weasley family, so it seems like we’re either in Kings Cross Station, or on the Hogwarts Express, as he gets properly introduced to Ron on the train, and among other things, discovery Chocolate Frogs and the Trading Cards. Interestingly, the other side of the table has some Technic holes in them – which suggests that this is only one half of the table, and we might get the other half in the coming few days!

Boots reveals 10 new 2020 advent calendars including Harry Boots reveals 10 new 2020 advent calendars including Harry

The main theme of this calendar was the Book: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and in particular the Yule Ball, on the Christmas Eve. After the first Harry Potter Advent Calendar in 2019, I would like to do also in this bizarre 2020 with the daily countdown of Harry Potter. I do like the construction of the window, which uses some really clever SNOT (studs not on top) technique, and I especially like the glass of water which has blue liquid at the bottom. The Grand Piano isn’t particularly “wizardy” but the design makes it a winner in my books, and the size and scaling is just perfect for the minifigures to interact with! Follow daily for a reveal of each advent calendar window. Whether you’re new, or you’re a returning reader, I’d love for you to hang out and follow along as we count the days to Christmas!As expected, Day 11 gives us a Griphook minifigure! Griphook is the goblin bank teller at Gringotts, and has the pleasure of taking Harry to his vault. He comes with a golden key (2 in fact, as there’s a spare on the sprue), and is dressed quite handsomely in a dark red blazer. Day 5’s build is neat, and I’m sure Potterheads will be delighted to get a really iconic piece (of cake) from the Philosopher’s Stone to add to their collection. Nothing too exciting or Yule Ball-related, but as we’re approaching Christmas, it feels suitably festive! Oh, this was a pleasant surprise that was not spoiled on the box – Day 22 gives us another minifigure, Harry’s arch-nemesis Draco Malfoy from House Slytherin!

Harry Potter Advent Calendars - All 2020 Options! | MSA

That’s Day 21 so far! A pretty basic build, but only 3 days left remaining in the 2020 Harry Potter Advent Calendar! While I did enjoy some of the builds, and the random Chocolate Frog Cards, I don’t think it compares to previous Harry Potter Advent Calendars, which had a cohesive scene such as last year’s Yule Ball, or even micro models which were a lot of fun. It’s a very basic build, with 2 studs, and space to load up your items, as well as a handle for Harry to push. It’s an okay build, and not very exciting as nothing about this really screams “Wizarding World”.Not too bad of a minifigure, but I do wish we had a brand new outfit or torso for Harry that was exclusive to the Advent Calendar, but at the same time, I am still quite happy that we get this version of Harry Potter, so that those who missed out on Diagon Alley get a chance at this minifigure, which has an outfit from one of the most iconic scenes of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone. Not the most exciting window, but it does give you the right elements to bring to life the scene from Philosopher’s Stone in Harry’s first year!
