This year's Advent Calendar is an improvement over the last two, and I will get this one. It's winter/Christmas themed, while the 2021 and 2022 ones were games that had nothing to do with winter or Christmas.
Glad this time we've gone back to the minifig sized builds rather than microbuilds. Love how this adds to the Hogsmeade Village set, and nicely captures the winter in the third film. While Ron's hat is a little inaccurate, I'm fine with it as it'd be asking too much for a new mould for it. But Hermione, Harry and Draco's are pretty faithful from the scene by the snowy Shrieking Shack. Shame they didn't give Harry his invisibility cloak as it's what he uses to sneak up on Malfoy & how he hears about Pettigrew & Sirius in the Three Broomsticks. Also so glad they finally made a Aberforth Dumbledore figure, and fitting too with the Hog's Head being the first meeting for Dumbledore's Army which is around winter time. Would've been even better if he had leg printing, or a goat. Baffled how it's taken this long to have a printed piece for the poster of Sirius, imagine if they had done it back in 2018 instead of the sticker. Then we also wouldn't have had to use the boy who lived tile for so many sets. But I still like this overall, glad they're utilising the winter/Christmas scenes from the films, as the last two ACs weren't Christmassy at all. Already hoping for next year they theme it around Christmas at 12 Grimmauld Place or at the Burrow.
8:46 the legs are different though. And now you can put one outside with the hammer and one inside (upstairs or behind the bar). 11:04 it's better if you got the snow wizard too from a few years back! :D
Ikr the one in Rivendell is just the generic old man face that’s been in sooo many sets. Don’t get me wrong it works but sir Ian mckellan has very distinctive facial features
I love the Advent Calendars. The tiny builds are always so clever and fun. Many years ago I started a tradition with my brother and his family. I get them the Star Wars Advent Calendar and they send me a picture every day of what they got. Then my best friend, who doesn't really have any siblings or extended family wanted in on the fun and surprised me with the City Advent Calendar. And being away from everyone for weeks at a time as a truck driver, these really helped keep channels open with friends and family.
I'm disappointed that Harry's alternate face didn't look like he was yelling, "HE WAS THEIR FRIEND!!!!!" missed opportunity...but still a great meme template.
8:39 In regards to Madam Rosmerta figure while the Head Hair and Torso are the same it's not the exact same figure as the legs here are Dark Grey while in set 76388 they're black
Aberforth head looks like Gandalf head that you could replace the Rivendell one which does not have bread printing and more accurate wrinkles and eyebrows in my opinion.
IMO this is the best Advent Calendar of the year! OFC it’s not the best but it’s still better than the Marvel and the Star Wars calendar! My ranking/Rating 1. Harry Potter: Amazing minifigures, neat builds, and has the best Christmas vibe Overall 7.9/10 2. City: Not bad builds, with minifigures like Santa and Mrs. Santa, still not the best Overall: 7/10 3. Marvel: Has some good builds, but the minifigures are not good or they are just reuse (like Wong) And it only has 2 exclusive minifigures Overall: 5/10 4. Star Wars: Horrible builds and only 4 or 5 minifigures Overall: 3/10
What do you think of this Advent Calendar?
Cool, but do you knew if it will be a ninjago calendar also?
@Adi_R oh, ok (I hope LEGO makes one soon)
EXCELLENT
pretty good
@@Jays_Brickfilms the fact that that won’t get made makes me sob at night

It did tho… the 2021 and 2022 adventure cleaners were the ones that had nothing to do with Christmas.

I find this better than the 2022 Star Wars advent calendar. All it was was basically just micro builds.
2:02 it would be cool if they found a way to fit the hood piece over his hair kinda like a hood/hair combo
That would require a dual-mold.
Definitely better than last years. I’d take this over micro builds any day
W
Agree last years was terrible
From this calendar I want to guess we are getting a set for zonkos joke shop and the hog's head pub next year.
I want a NINJAGO advent calendar 😢…
8:46 the legs are different though. And now you can put one outside with the hammer and one inside (upstairs or behind the bar).

I can’t be the only one who thinks the new ABERFORTH face would be PERFECT for Gandalf hoping lego does more lotr sets.
It’ll work pretty well for Michael gambon Dumbledore too because he’s more angry
Ikr the one in Rivendell is just the generic old man face that’s been in sooo many sets. Don’t get me wrong it works but sir Ian mckellan has very distinctive facial features
I’m torn between using the face for Gandalf or the Grail Knight from the Last Crusade 😅
11:33 i do believe it was styrofoam before
4:57 also number 7 comes with two artificals poops I believe for pranks

Aww, I love this! ✨✨

This set is really cool. I've got BTTF 1 AND 2 sets and I really like when these come out.
Do you like this one or the marvel one
whare is the small ball it is lestid on the choking hazerd warning?
awesome! may be the 2nd best one yet for HP! hope I find multiple of theses after xmas on clearance!
I hope lego does more hogsmeade sets maybe one with the hogs head inn and zonko’s
Aberforth head looks like Gandalf head that you could replace the Rivendell one which does not have bread printing and more accurate wrinkles and eyebrows in my opinion.
Sorry....I meant to say ive got the playmobil BTTF 1 and 2. But this set is reslly nice. I will probably get it. Nice review.
I don’t even like Harry Potter, but this calendar is an awesome LEGO winter/Christmas addition.
I like it more than the mini builds of the other advent calendar’s. LEGO city is a close second for this year.
Pretty cool calendar I’ll pick it up
bought one today in Australia..$50 AUD in Big W, $45 AUD in Kmart..
This video being out in August makes me think this is illegal. It feels illegal.
Ashnflash is their anyway you can do the new Marvel advent calendar please, I really enjoy your videos.
Súper cool. 😎🤩🤗🥳👍✨💯⭐🙏🏆💥⚡🏅🎄🎉🎁
I'll pick it up when it's 40% off
NO WAY THEY ACTUALLY DID ABERFORTH
This looks cool but can’t wait for the marvel advent review
The calendars from 2022 already had the cardboard inserts instead of plastic. At least here in Europe
The scale is probably a reference to the honey dukes in universal studios, they have a scale to weigh bulk candy
I really like the figures in this set, so far it's my favourite Harry Potter calendar
I’ll definitely get this
Yeah only the figures and the wanted poster are cool, rest is meh
The Draco torso looks lile the one from the old Nick Fury
Way too pricy for the amount of stuff you get (less pieces than city calendar but 50% more expensive) but if you ignore that this is pretty good.
IMO this is the best Advent Calendar of the year! OFC it’s not the best but it’s still better than the Marvel and the Star Wars calendar!
My ranking/Rating
1. Harry Potter:
Amazing minifigures, neat builds, and has the best Christmas vibe
Overall 7.9/10
2. City:
Not bad builds, with minifigures like Santa and Mrs. Santa, still not the best
Overall: 7/10
3. Marvel:
Has some good builds, but the minifigures are not good or they are just reuse (like Wong)
And it only has 2 exclusive minifigures
Overall: 5/10
4. Star Wars:
Horrible builds and only 4 or 5 minifigures
Overall: 3/10
I have to say, to me, the LEGO city advent calendar is the best one this year!
Agreed 10£ cheeper too
I am soooo jealous! It's looking good, last year I had the City one, this year I will go for the Harry Potter!
I like this since it is a bit different to past advents. I will be adding it to my hp advent collection.
I’ll probably get both of marvel one and the Harry Potter one since they don’t have a Ninjago one
Aberforth!! 🎉🎉
Looks amazing awsome review
Awesome video ashnflash
Surprised you haven’t dropped a vid about the new bug set
It’s not a set I’m interested in. Sorry, I got nothing to say 🤷♂️
@@Ashnflash thought you covered everything 🤔 also bugs are cool what do you meannnnn
I’m glad they’re back to a concise theme again! And not just general Harry Potter films
Too bad that they left you with the snowman. I wish it would have had something more specific to HP
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
merry very early christmas!!!
It's beautiful
i am not a harry potter fan but this calendar is pretty cool.
Snowman should had have a wizard head. Such a missed opportunitie.
Nice video
Its like...
Even though they are almost the same...
They seem to be getting worse?
So cool🔥
Nice video
I like Lego
I can't believe or Lego can do new hairpieces but can't do a single good DC movie set (or even a single set of DC)
I think the minifigs are cool, but it is overpriced. I will get if it is on sale. DEF not a must have
❤❤❤❤❤
😊😊😊
Bros opening an advent calendar in mid august 💀
Bro got a set 2 weeks early from its release
9:04 no cause what was that accent when he said turkey leg
It’s a reference to the LEGO Movie
I thought malfoy was in this??
He is, just a little unrecognizable because of the winter clothes
The super simple cardboard inserts are complex for you? Probably shouldn’t have admitted that on camera.
Yup. I’m dum
A really weak advent calander honestly
And terrible value per piece.
Man, you guys are picky
@@Ratchetzillastudiosinnit i mean the main attraction to me is always figures and this has really good figures
@@wookie_master6426 agreed I want the mini figures I didn’t like the Star Wars ones from last year because it was just micro builds practically
Two Christmas trees? Lego couldn't of thought of one more unique Hogsmeade build?
bro reviewing advent calanders in the summer 🤦♂️
Christmas august🎅
Parents get these early in sept so they can put them away for their little terrors so they can surprise them and don't miss out 🤷🏼♀️
@@bricknan i know, it’s just funny that he’s reviewing christmas sets in summer
Meh...after seeing you unbox this, I don't think I'll be purchasing one. Thank you!
That’s what the reviews are for 😁
I appreciate you taking one for the team. 😄@@Ashnflash
The figures are cute and fairly unique. But everything else is bland and uninteresting.
Keren keren🇮🇩🎉👍🙏
I think only the figures and the wanted poster are cool, the rest is boring in my opinion...
Sadly, I’m unimpressed.
Hes balding
I do wish they'd start mixing up the themes. Retire Harry Potter, do another licensed theme. Particularly a licensed theme I'm not buying. 😂
Not really how things work lol. But there’s always a new licensed theme and I’m sure 2024 will be no different
crimbus
Please Harry Potter is so 2009
I do agree, Lego should cut down production on Harry Potter sets and focus their attention onto other themes
@@anthonyacuna8604 dude I do lego friends only
You make gacha videos💀
And because you called Harry Potter trash I will now do this
AVADA KEDAVRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@anthonyacuna8604 no one cares
I’ll definitely be picking up this calendar set
