Day 12 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 12 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar - eeeek, we must have touched the triwazard cup from yesterday (which was also a portkey) and here is Voldemort with his snake like tongue…

Day 12 LEGO Friend’s Advent Calendar - A present wrapping station has appeared, a nice build, and we love it…

Day 11 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 11 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar - The Triwizard Cup… awarded to the winner of the Triwizard tournament. The piece is a bit clunky to me, but we knew what it was right away. The cup is crystal clear in person, not the grayish color it is looking in the photo.

Day 11 LEGO Friend’s Advent Calendar - An ice skate rink with holly decor, very small, but so cute…

Day 10 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 10 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar - The Goblet of Fire from the fourth book/movie of the same name, and look at the clear tile with Harry’s name !!! This is why I love the advent calendars…

Day 10 LEGO Friend’s Advent Calendar - And here is another reason we love the calendars, holiday themed cuties, and here’s hoping it brings the snow with it ♥️…

Day 9 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 9 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar - this is serious business 😂… Sirius Black has stopped by, with prison plaque and all. Check it that zig zag print shirt…

Day 9 LEGO Friend’s Advent Calendar - A s’mores making station has shown up, and while missing a few key elements, it is looking pretty tasty to Sirius…

Day 8 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 8 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar - Expecto Patronum is the spell Harry casts in the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the meaning behind that spell… “I expect/await a guardian”. Classic scene showed up today, I like how the dementors look to be floating above the water… have you taken an online test to learn your patronus?

Day 8 LEGO Friend’s Advent Calendar - a hot cocoa fountain with one red mug and one transparent pink mug. Each has a whipped cream topper (not a fan of the white piece not fitting snuggly, just loose and easy to lose)… but a cute addition to the scene.

Day 7 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 7 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar - We have moved into The Prisoner of Azkaban with the Knight Bus (triple decker bus for wizards who need emergency transport) showing up today with a ginormous street lamp..

Day 7 LEGO Friend’s Advent Calendar - what a cute hotdog stand!  A quick, but fun build…

Day 6 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 6 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar - The Chamber of Secrets brings us a fan favorite, the ghostly Moaning Myrtle.

Day 6 LEGO Friend’s Advent Calendar - a super cute micro mini fig (microdoll named Ava) appeared today, who is just the right size to ride our Pride Pony from yesterday (which we thought was a piñata)… 

Day 5 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 5 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar - something Slytherin this way comes… again from Chamber of Secrets with the Basilisk coming out Salazar’s mouth just like in the film. Love all these builds.

Day 5 LEGO Friend’s Advent Calendar - is that a piñata? a ride on toy? Really cute either way…

Day 4 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 4 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar - fan-flippin’-tastic, can you guess what this is?  The Whomping Willow scene from the second book/film “Chamber of Secrets”, just look at the car, even has tires… definite win today, and will be hard to beat (see what I did there).

Day 4 LEGO Friend’s Advent Calendar - oh my, couldn’t be a circus theme this year, could it? Such a cute prize wheel (they used an ice skating blade in the build, love clever people, and the wheel spins, too) all in holiday colors…

Day 3 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 3 Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar - Hello Harry! Welcome to our countdown… I know you can’t have the Harry Potter calendar without Harry Potter, but preferred past calendar holiday sweaters personally.

Day 3 Lego Friend’s Advent Calendar - this cuteness rolled into our home today, a popcorn cart…

Day 2 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 2 Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar - Quiddich posts showed up today, again as a board game piece, with all the house colors. Have you taken a house quiz? We did years ago, daughter got Hufflepuff, I got Ravenclaw and Dad got Gryffindor. 

Day 2 Lego Friend’s Advent Calendar - today was fun, a rocket launcher! Maybe not a launcher, but a rocket none the less. Had me wanting to rewatch Hidden Figures.

Day 1 LEGO Harry Potter & Friends 2022

Day 1 Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar - we kicked off our calendar in a big way, the Ollivanders Wand Shop store front from Diagon Alley looks amazing (once we figured out what it was 😂)…. and this year’s calendar appears to turn into a board game, so each build is a game piece for playing afterwards Only time will tell.

Day 1 Lego Friend’s Advent Calendar - mini figs on day 1 of the LEGO advent calendars is pretty typical, and we love mini figs; today is Olivia (since my daughter is now 18, we did indeed have to look it up), she was leaning towards calling her Jessica, but we like how it slightly ties in with the Ollivanders piece above, so we are keeping it Olivia, love her look, and especially those glasses…. The box is a wonderful Christmas scene, and more fun to hunt for the right door numbers (the HP calendar is very obvious, so we will start with this calendar first each day, since every calendar is numbered the same way, you lose that element of surprise on the second calendar).
