  • With a limited universe and sets in demand, LEGO Harry Potter has once again tested out some interesting (and a little gimmicky feeling) sets. There's some hits, some misses and even one that talks!

    LEGO made a big mistake with the sorting hat. It doesn’t sort LEGO parts…

    The Forbidden Forest set, while not being a great set, is an inexpensive way to get Buckbeak for the people who skipped the Hogwarts Courtyard: Sirius's Rescue set. The Forbidden Forest set can also be attached to the new Hagrid's Hut.

  • @hippoman3814

    I really love the trunk actually lmao, like a lot. Hedwig is hot and all, but I'd rather buy the bigger version to really appreciate her fully. But the trunk just feels comfy and so wizardy to me

  • @randomites2212

  • @ThomasReaper1
    @ThomasReaper1 Před 3 měsíci +4

    These feel like good ideas with a low/wasted execution or afterthought results. Not necessarily bad, just niche and forgettable overall. The sound brick has potential, but I'm sensing an "excuse" to make certain products expensive/overpriced if reused (still appreciate the sorting hat for what it is tho)

  • @DeputyDeppe
    @DeputyDeppe Před 3 měsíci +4

    I think the sorting hat is awesome, but I have also seen a video of Mega’s 343 Guilty Spark that will be releasing this year. That set also talks and the video I watched the sound quality for Mega was far better. Nonetheless I’m always glad to see Harry Potter collector sets.

  • @jeffie585
    @jeffie585 Před 3 měsíci +2

    I really like the Privet Drive set. I think the trunk is really nice. It's like Harry left it sitting there getting ready to go to school. I don't have very many Harry Potter sets but this was a must-have for me.

  • @craigshackleton1652

    The Flying Ford Anglia is the only one of these small new sets to have sold out over here in the UK. Best value for money out of these sets and the only one I'll pick up some day.

    The Hedwig may be able to fit in with my Buildable Harry & Hermione, Dobby, Stag, the two trunks stacked on each other but the little chest looks too small for their hands..

  • @ajames3062
    @ajames3062 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Thanks for the video holly. I feel like the buildable hedwig and privet drive sign are made to appeal to Harry Potter fans who come into the lego store wanting to buy soemthing little, but have never bought a Lego set before or plan to buy another one. I feel like it's filling a spot on the market for random mall goers who enter lego and r like this is kitschy and then will buy it instead of nothing.

    • @HollyOnFilm
      @HollyOnFilm  Před 3 měsíci

      I think you're spot on, though I also think they could have had better execution on it. What hurts it most though is that it released the same time as the Flying Ford which hit's that market perfectly

  • @___David__
    @___David__ Před 3 měsíci +4

    "Overpriced Gimmicky Sets" describes this March wave of Harry Potter in general to me.
    I got the Sorting Hat, Hagrid's Hut, Boat House and Owlery and they all felt ridiculously overpriced for what little they offer (even though I got them all with 15% off each). These smaller ones I gave a pass for now 'cause even with 15% off they just feel like a rip-off.
    The Sorting Hat is definitely the best of the batch...but the entire sound brick is a pointless useless gimmick that was put there clearly to inflate the price of what should've been a 65€ display set.

  • @magnusdavies

    Hey Holly, I’m looking at purchasing Lego Harry Potter sets for the first time. What modular set would you recommend starting with: diagon alley/gringotts or the 2021-2023 Hogwarts expansion set? Cheers 🙌

    • @HollyOnFilm
      @HollyOnFilm  Před 3 měsíci

      I would definately go with Diagon/Gringotts, in terms of Hogwarts since they've just started a new system I think it's way better off waiting to see how that goes rather than buying the old system. And those Modular DA buildings are fantastic

  • @amyjones25
    @amyjones25 Před 3 měsíci +2

    I really like the forest set. Plenty of creatures, the color scheme captures the magical feel of the forest, and the set is relatively cheap.

    I was expecting you to tear these sets apart, especially the Sorting Hat, but you were actually pretty positive about them.
    I still look forward to the day we get another video like the Hulkbuster review where you just demolished every aspect of it. I couldn't stop laughing when watching that video.

    • @HollyOnFilm
      @HollyOnFilm  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Any review on any product is about showcasing a product and expressing a the persons personal opinion about a product. I can’t speak to anyone’s view BUT my own, and there’s only very few objective facts about a set. I’m glad you don’t like them and won’t be watching since you don’t seem to understand how reviews work, nor the concept of the platform CZcams itself. I truely hope you can find what your looking for though it seems as if you might have to try Instagram or TikTok to find it
