12 Grimmauld Place Advent Calendar Day 01

What If...

What if the 2022 Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar focused on the Order of the Phoenix's Christmas at 12 Grimmauld Place in 1995? With the release of the lovely Grimmauld Place set this year and an abundance of canonical Christmas material, it seems such a shame that it didn't, so with the magic of Mecabricks, let's just pretend it did

What Fun!!! my guess is some type of table with stack of Daily PooPhets?

[gingerwitch]

Close. Not a stack. Matches the source material design so you can extend the table to fit all the new characters.

WOW! These advent calendars are small but really well done. 💖

Thanks, beffey. ❤️ It's an interesting design constraint. There have been four lego Harry Potter advent calendars so far with an average of 312 pieces total (if we divide by the 24 days, that's an average of 13 pieces a day) and between six and eight minifigs. I'm trying to come up with something they might have actually been able to produce, had they wished, so it's an added design challenge I've set myself. Often when people design their fantasy sets, there's a sort of inflation that takes place, especially when the design is digital and doesn't cost anything but extra time, which doesn't seem very fair as comparisons go, so I'm trying to keep that in check.

Ideally when the little builds are all put together, it would yield a satisfying result, both for kids to play with as is and for older fans to populate their 12 Grimmauld Place sets. We'll see how it goes.
