Last year we undertook the epic task of building the LEGO Harry Potter: Diagon Alley set throughout December – one bag a day. It was a truly awesome experience, and one we even documented on the ToysWorld YouTube channel. This year, we wanted to do something else advent related, and in keeping with the Harry […]

Day 17: Bag 17 today! Work begins on floor one of Weasley’s Wizard Weezes today, but not before we finished off the rounded window units of the ground floor. They look fantastic – carrying on the bowed window style from Ollivanders. That orange really pops, and now that we get to add some height to […]

Day 16: Bag 16 today! Stickers!!! Aggghhh!!! – I both love and hate stickers! On one hand they look so good, but on the other they can take a lot of trial and error placing them – especially if you’re a perfectionist (like me). I’m mainly talking about the stairs… each step has a sticker […]

Day 12: Bag 12 today! Today sees the addition of the shop fascias for Flourish & Blotts and Fortesques. I particularly love the angled fascias on the former! Possibly my favourite part of today’s build are the book racks outside Flourish & Blotts; anyone who has explored the backstreets of London’s St. Martin’s Lane, will […]

Day 10: Bag 10 today! We are officially at the halfway point of the challenge! I’ve never produced a series of daily videos before, and whilst it is challenging and time consuming, it has been a rather enjoyable experience. Having a way to follow and record this challenge and be present in the whole process, […]

Day 8: Bag 8 today! Today, work begins on floor one of both The Daily Prophet and Quality Quidditch Supplies. The Daily Prophet’s angled overhang, complete with sign looks fantastic, and next to the Quidditch shopfront this actually looks like something you’d find on a high street near you (sans the magic). I was pleased […]
