The vibes you bring with each video are immaculate. In a community where the seemingly cool thing to do is to nitpick and complain about every little thing Lego does, I so appreciate how you look at everything objectively and as someone who truly is a fan of Lego
This comment means a lot! There's way too much negativity out here right now. LEGO is my means of escape - I prefer to keep the drama far away! Glad you can appreciate a more lighthearted approach to the hobby too.
I agree so much man, whenever I watch reviews they are always complaining about what was not included in the set or how inaccurate it is which is why I love watching his reviews even if I am not very interested in the sets its so great to see a positive view on things!
@@boganbricks Exactly. What I appreciate is when there is something worth complaining about, he does rightfully bring it up, but the difference is he doesn't harp on it or blow it out of proportion
@@CheeseyStudios yes I do love the light hearted videos you make. That’s why I love your Harry Potter videos.
@@CheeseyStudios thank you for doing it this way because it is the reason I watch your videos instead of someone else's like M&R
It's amazing to see how much lego has improved over the years
I know, right? That's the cool thing about remakes like this.
Based on how most “fans” talk about Lego these days you’d think the opposite.
@@h2owl205 the builds themselves have definitely improved, but i think the reason fans say that is because the company seems to be getting greedier, with recent price raises and such
@@foodisscarce okay you say that but listen to how much the 2004 version of the shrieking shack costed back then and what it would translate to now. Sure inflation has gotten out of control but that’s not legos fault, and they aren’t even close to being the only company to raise prices based on the increase.
The only thing Lego is doing now that they haven’t done in the past is they’re releasing a bunch more large, complex, and expensive sets for the 18+ line. Yes their product line has a higher mean price, but on average they match the value of what you’re getting in the package.
In other words, Lego has always been expensive, and the reason you might not think this is the case is thanks to the good old rose tinted nostalgia goggles. I really don’t see anything that inherently makes them greedy these days. They’re giving fans the stuff they’ve been wanting for years, but what they’ve been asking for is expensive products.
Both sets are pretty cool. I globally prefer the new shack but the candy shop and the transforming device are quite nice.
If you cannot afford both to mix them, as you said, buy the one that's on shelves at its normal price. And don't forget to have fun... and a great life.
Yeah, it's great that each set can still stand on its own merits. Glad both exist!
@@CheeseyStudios And even more that you own them and presented them side by side. Thank you so much for all your videos!
I was always intrigued as a kid about the big transformer piece from 2004 when I saw the set in catalogs back in the day. I’m so glad you showed it of here in all of its glory, you could maybe try and incorporate it in one of your MOC’s as a challenge! haha
lol! That would be the ultimate MOC seed part haha
I love that you are a fan of many themes, but when you do HP, I'm very intrigued. I thought the 'spinning' feature on the newer whomping willow was fun. However, a full door sticker is a pain to place - if doors require texture - they need to be printed. NIce job on the comparison, Caleb.
Thanks Copper! I do love me some Harry Potter sets. LEGO has done such a great job with the theme. Definitely agree that there were quite a few misses when it came to the sticker situation with this one though.
I just love the calmness you emit in every video, I feel so comfortable just watching and enjoying. Great video as always.
Really glad you enjoy
It's odd how Star Wars feels like it has this endless supply of vehicles to make sets out of, but Harry Potter does the opposite with a endless supply of buildings. They always tend to look pretty fancy, don't have any Harry Potter myself. Love these, also the Werewolf from the old one is the funniest but best thing
So true though about the buildings and vehicles 😅 Perhaps it's because I've always been a building guy that I was never interested in Star Wars...
I love your content. You cover a lot of older sets I hold near and dear, and your breakdowns are so thorough and thoughtful. Really appreciate the content 🙌
It's my pleasure! So glad you're enjoying
Both sets are incredible. There's something magical about the older one, even if I wasn't even born then but the newer one has the better figures and overall better build.
I miss the old sets' magic, but I sure love the movie accuracy too. Oh, and the new figures.... So so good!
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite lego reviewers! Your vast knowledge of various sets, parts, and their history's is second-to-none in this community, and you review the sets with such joy! I look forward to continuing through your video backlog. Keep up the fantastic work!
Really appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying!
No way- I OWN THE OG SHRIEKING SHACK! I have ALL those parts in a random bin I bought a long time ago!
That's awesome! So many amazing parts in that set. Do you have the weird transforming box thing too? xD
Time to build it, then! Have fun with it!
@@KrissFighta2 sadly ik I used most of the pieces for MOCS I’ve made. However I can try and rebuild most of it.
@@fidgetsbricks That's part of the magic of these bricks: you can enjoy them many ways. Have fun!
@@CheeseyStudios I may, I rebuilt a few of the sets from the tub, and quite a lot of pieces were missing. (It was a huge 40 gallon tub we got for $75, Had a gem of a set inside. The Black Pearl. Missing it’s sails and flag and some minor pieces.the rest of the set was all there)
Your review reminds me of my childhood, I’ve got the 2004 set for Christmas and I absolutely loved it. It was a great set and I enjoyed every minute of building it and playing with it. I should still have it, stored away in the attic. Thank you very much 😊.
Glad I could bring back some good memories ❤
I love the energy he brings with these videos. He's like an excited kid who is really passionate about LEGO, and wants to share his knowledge with the world. There's always an air of childlike wonder in every video.
One of my favorite LEGO youtubers, hands down! Keep up the great work!
Really glad you're enjoying the channel - lots more fun stuff to come!
I actually really like the original serious black minifigure more so than the newer one, maybe change up the hair and I think it’s one of my favorite Harry Potter minifigures I’ve seen. Great video and can’t wait to see more MCL vids!
I was surprised how well the old one holds up too!
It's interesting to see how priorities have shifted in the design of these two sets. TLG can still make really fun, whimsical stuff, but it seems like they're hyper-focused on detail and "realism" in their licensed IPs now.
This is by far the best review/comparison of this set on youtube
Really appreciate it!
I really like both of sets! I agree that the old sets hat some kind of extra magic to them :) I've once had some stickers "melt off" (the stickers were on the sheet and the paint just dissapeared in some places) after sitting in the attick for a couple of years, so I don't reccomend doing thaat :P The only problem with the old one is it being built of mainly brittle brown bricks, but I guess that wouldn't really be an issue unless you drop it... Keep up the great videos! :D
Stickers are problematic in so many ways lol!
Great video Cheesey!!
Thank you!
The werewolf figure is awesome! I think I like more the new one, but it would have been nice if the shack had the playability of the older one. But that is a problem easy to solve: combine the two sets into one! Imagine how big would be that Shrieking Shack :3
True! That's the beauty of LEGO!
@@CheeseyStudios Definitely!
I got that 2004 askaban set back in 2010 and it was such an enjoyable build when i was a kid. Very underrated.
Early Harry Potter was PEAK
Amazing review. Too bad you haven’t reviewed the others I would love to see that.
Hopefully I'll be able to do more next year. I really enjoy making these Harry Potter videos
The original did a much better job with parts usage. Although the new one has a more detailed snow look, I wouldn’t call it necessarily better however it will make the set much more expensive unfortunately. That’s really my issue with a lot of modern lego is it takes a lot more parts to do the same job and the price tag gets bloated because of it.
When I saw Lego were planning to reboot the Harry Potter Theme back in 2018, there were three buildings I desperately wanted them to remake:
1. The Burrow
2. Privet Drive
3. The Shrieking Shack
Now they have made all three, and they are some of the most beautiful builds in my collection. A childhood dream has been completed!
The whole reboot has indeed been a dream come true. Can't wait to see what we get this summer!
🤣 9:35 Sirius impressively stood up for the camera but the wolf oriented itself almost the complete opposite of its original position 12:50 gotta love those old weak versions of reddish brown bricks
The wolf flipping cracked me up so good lol... Couldn't have staged that if I tried! To be totally honest I didn't even see that crack until you pointed it out. I think I'm just used to it now xD
this guy's got fantabulous hair
I like the 2022 version better overall but that transformation chamber is a really piece from the 2004 model!!
Indeed!
I think it's kind of a bummer that there is a color deviation in the Dark Tan of the Lupin Werewolf minifig: While Legs and Head have a reddish hue, the torso/arms have a greenish hue. It's clearly to be seen at around 5:30. I guess your set was produced in Mexico for the North American market, while my set comes from Czech Republic for the European market, but I have exactly the same color deviation! It's a shame since it is an exclusive minifig in a 90 Euro set!
Surprisingly, the Dark Tan on the Human Lupin minifig they get right!
Oh interesting! I didn't even notice until you pointed it out, but you're totally right. Ahhhhhh whyyyyy LEGO whyyyy
@@CheeseyStudios Yeah, it's quite an unfortunate direction LEGO is going in that regard. The advent calendar's Cho Chang as well as the blue CMF Dumbledore also had deviating hues of Light Aqua and Bright Light Blue respectively :(
But it makes me especially mad when it comes to sets as LEGO increasingly builds IP sets around exclusive minifigures and I had not one set in the last months with not at least one printing error or similar quality issues with an exclusive fig :(
And when I build with Dark Tan, I'm buying ca. 30% parts more than I need on BL or PAB to make sure I have enough parts in either the reddish or the greenish hue because it drives me MAD! :D
I'm surprised how similar they are! (In a good way)
Me too! Especially the size - that was so crazy to me!
The upgrade to the modern Wand piece is so under appreciated cause bro old wands were so down bad
I'm so glad they made the change 😂
2:47 It's because LEGO was using books or their own ideas until Goblet of Fire sets. But even with these sets, Voldemort for example has reprinted face design. Even 2010/2011 version includes older ideas. 2018 to today generation is the very first truely accurate to films
5:15 I'd say Lupin is a very underappreciated character on the whole. He was my favourite character after I read the books, and he's portrayed excellently in the films, but after Prizoner of Azkaban he's demoted to minor scenes, so a lot of his character arc after the thrid book goes unnoticed.
I think this is why he's only had a few figures over the years. I've owned three, and can't decide if the one from the 2018 Hogwarts Epxpress or the 2022 Shrieking Shack is better.
Deathly Hallows definitely did my boy dirty 😭 Lupin's always been my favorite too
I really do want to get the newer model! It just looks great as a stand alone piece! And the minifigs look ace!! Thanks for the great video!!
Really glad you enjoyed! I hope you can pick the set up at some point - it is really cool.
Im not a exactly a Harry Potter fan (I'm not a NERDDD) but watching this was pretty interesting. I did learn a lot about old lego stuff, and man lego was weird in the early 2000s'. awesome video!
lolol yeah, LEGO had like no rules during the early 2000's. Needed a special piece? Just make a new mould and then instantly discontinue it
Regarding the sets: New one wins by a good margin. Better (and more) minifigures, better looking, is available at a reasonable price. ;)
Good points!
First saw you on Lego Masters and now I just found your channel. Keep up the great work!
Glad you came across the channel!
@@CheeseyStudios For the record, you guys totally should have won. ATB from a fellow cheesehead. : )
We still have the switching box from the original set. I picked it up and messed around with it just yesterday
That's awesome! Such A bizarre piece, but certainly fun to play around with
This is a great video. Nice work
Thank you!
Homeboy just said "Have yourself a great LIFE" 😵
And I mean it!
I agree with the 2004 Pettigrew minifigure he looks more like Uncle Vernon than Pettigrew,
I think the Lego Designers can’t tell the difference between Richard Griffiths As Uncle Vernon or Timothy Spall As Peter Pettigrew during 2004
Probably lololol.... He's so inaccurate, but it's a cool minifigure head nonetheless!
Stickers for masonry especially is always so offensive because the build is literally brick build. Get it together Lego!
The third book is my favorite so I can recreate like every seen besides for hagrids but scene
Prisoner of Azkaban is so good. I'm hoping to reread it again soon!
@@CheeseyStudios I am rereading the first RN
I see all of the Knight’s Kingdom II sets behind you… can we expect a review soon?!
Hopefully! :O
Might the Knights Kingdom sets in the background be a hint to a retrospective coming in the future?!
:))))))
@@CheeseyStudios Knights Kingdom was my favorite theme growing up. Had 75% of the total sets. Got Vladeks castle for Christmas the year it came out and played with that set for years until by bother and cousin demolished it.
Can’t wait!!!
@@thequickestwit3920 That's epic! It was my first theme growing up, so I have a lot of great memories attached to it. I've got all of the first wave, but a little less of the later two
@@CheeseyStudios it was the first major theme, other than Bionicle, I got into as a kid. The 3 major castles from the theme were all really well done. The 3rd wave caste always gave me Helms Deep vibes.
One interesting thing I learned recently is that the purple motorcycle helmet has shot up in value recently for only being in two sets (both Knights Kingdom) since they introduction of the purple space man torso from Series 22.
Ohhhhhhh! I was wondering why Danju was so expensive compared to the other figures!
Wow! I’m not a Harry Potter fan but this is so cool!
There's some really awesome sets in the Harry Potter line for sure!
I’m pretty sure Lobot from Star Wars also has all the way head print.
Oh nice! Someone else had pointed out a Star Wars figure that had it too. I'm trying to find the most recent example, and I wonder if they'd ever start doing it again
still got the old set somewhere i think.
I was just wondering, what is your favorite Lego theme and also love the video
Currently, Harry Potter's probably my favorite active LEGO theme. Always been a big HP fan! What's your favorite theme?
Probably star wars
the 2004 version has more appeal to me. I feel like this new one just seems like something I would get for part and pieces. Id say they are equal and that im never going to pay 150 dollars for less then 500 pieces.
Very valid lol
good vid bro your the best! :D
Thank you
When i looked up the set to buy it was 76407 not 76403. Is that right?
Thanks for the heads up! It's been fixed
I actually think the older one looks better. It is a lot cleaner and not as messy.
I'm rereading Harry Potter 3 right now!
Nice! I need to do the same. Such a good one!
Im glad you do potter videos. I get cancelled all the time just because im a harry potter fan, so its good that theres a safe space i can go to
You're always welcome here ❤
I love that set
It's a good one for sure!
Video idea: ranking ever lego minecraft mob
Good idea!
@@CheeseyStudios ty
:]
i think the new shrieking shack is a very good-looking set, but the wamping willow was a bit unnecessary
Probably. It does feel like it unnecessarily inflated the price. Though it does look good!
Cool
Great
good video :D
Thank you!
hey! just wondering if we will ever get a studio tour sometime? thanks!
Yeah! It's currently members-only, but hopefully it'll come out some time in December. ua-cam.com/video/P98XWI3F7Uw/v-deo.html
I’ll always love the 2004 line it just hurts so much that i didnt get this set back then
I do wish they were easier to pick up these days, but they just get more and more expensive... :,c
Day 31 one month: exactly 777 pieces lucky numbers
\o/
Day 32 and 33
Old Harry looks so drugged up
You not wrong 😂 But have you ever seen Goblet of Fire 2005 LEGO Ron? Now THAT is some cursed stuff
@@CheeseyStudios holy mother of god
@@CheeseyStudios but also the old hermione had demon eyes
Hellllooooo
Hello!
I think you forgot to upload the village expansion for non-members
Nope, comes out tomorrow.
@@CheeseyStudios ah, really excited!
And PLASE dont speak abouth accuracy...a flat face whithout even true eyes color -.-"
and no One wanna Say that but lego After 1/2 mouth max start to be annoing,ripetitive
For all that Money didn't have a single sense ... Offcourse speaking of "BUY" intend whith your Money... If you find Money on a poket mabye ... If you find some one in a pallet whithout guarda for some minute you can stole. On that case yes that are nice,but Just on that case
What
Kinda gotta agree with Others here
You can just order another sticker sheet it's free to do. I do it every time I get stickers like that
Yeah, for sure. I'd just rather they get it right the first time 😪
@CheeseyStudios oh I know trust at the end of the day it's still annoying
The 'sticker sheet problem' exists since the introduction of stickers. How do I know? Our son desperately wanted an old Ultra Agent set and we ordered one 'new' (which means sealed). After opening it, we found a totally destroyed loose sticker sheet with stickers scattered and... well... sticking all over the bags... :(
That's especially horrible... Something really needs to be done about this issue.
The harry and hermione torsos are exclusive becouse they have mud on it and the orher dont.
The same figures came in the Hospital Wing earlier this year - you can see my review of it here! ua-cam.com/video/qPvt7teRQt8/v-deo.html
Ohhh, ive not seen that set, thank for the info!
I think that above a certain price point, there shouldn't be stickers and just use prints instead, the Daily Bugle for example annoyed me because of the stickers despite being a £285 set.
Agreed. Printing UCS plaques is a step in the right direction at least
The music is 🔥
Having only ever seen pictures of the set, I had always assumed the big transformer piece was a device that made shrieking sounds
It does honestly look like a big weird battery box or some other mechanical thing haha - that would have been nightmare fuel!
I'm currently sick so that intro exploded my tiny little mind
lololol - blowing minds was a bit of my intention xD Hope you feel better soon though
After watching a few of your videos, I've noticed the stark difference between old sets and modern sets.
Many old sets are focused on play features and are more focused towards kids having endless fun with their sets, whereas modern sets seem to aim more towards accuracy to movies which is really interesting seeing the evolution in their products.
Both sides definitely have their pros and cons. It's very interesting to see how things have changed over the years!
I love these videos, too bad they don't get as many views as the Minecraft videos.
Yeah 😪 I'll still keep doing them though! Harry Potter's always been my favorite theme
I never actually realized that the base of the whomping willow connected to the shrieking shack, but I already modified it so that the whomping willow stood on the base of my old Hogwarts whomping willow so it stands straight up, and I put the rest of the base next to it on the other side of my Lego table so it would look like you would go underneath the whomping willow and end up on the other side
I got the new one
The new one is really cool. It's a great looking set!
@@CheeseyStudios yah it is
Ok ok, now not only do I need power miners but now I need these set, gggrr .. lol, great video
lol! Thanks Grumpy
@@CheeseyStudios😊😊😊юборррир 2:54 2:54

There’s something special about 2000s harry potter - it’s simple yet detailed enough
It strikes such a good balance! The classic sets were so much fun
I still have this set, actually I have all sets from 2004. I have played with them but they're in a really good condition and I still have all the boxes.
Oh dang! That's epic. I really wish I had the boxes still
444 pieces-4 figures
777 pieces-7 figures
…
Some crazy numbers games going on here xD
444 pieces vs 777 pieces, 4 figures vs 7 figures... I think it's intentional for sure!
It has to be 😂
the reason the new honey dukes does don't have the trapdoor is because it is in the basement
Even so, the old one squeezed it in without a basement! Could have been a nice touch
That werewolf head is so creative
Right? It's a quick and easy transformation - very clever
Wait a minute, where have i seen this guy before…
Here, perhaps? :O ua-cam.com/play/PLsKt5PwQV-mM6KrvPJDLtygwXGVUgfxmx.html
Bro I saw that you already made two more videos about the Minecraft world for channel members, I’m really looking forward to watch them
One coming out tomorrow already - get hyped!
What really? Finally😄
I saw th e2004 model available at our local Brisks and Minfigs for $300.
Woof, that's a steep price. Was it sealed?
@@CheeseyStudios used fully built set. Not sure if it had a box or books. It looked good... but I already have the newer one. Your clip makes it more attractive to me. Thanks for sharing it.
The term for the werewolf lupin legs is called digitigrade as opposed to plantigrade which would be normal legs
Oh nice! Thanks for letting me know - I've learned something new today :D
@@CheeseyStudios always happy to help
He transform into dead dog cirius
Lolol
Wait there's a new chest piece? Why don't they use that for the minecraft sets?
They do! It showed up in most every summer set this year actually
@@CheeseyStudios Ah. Makes sense I haven't been looking at the minecraft sets lately
Expecto patronum was 4:13 was the first harry potter set that I got.
That's awesome! It's a great set
I only have 3, that set (which is now broken and most of the pieces lost(Apart from the blue swirl, the stag, the top half of 1 dementor, the tree, Sirius and Harry))
and the great hall set (which is has broken recently because It was on one of 2 display shelves, I make a stupid mistake and the whole shelf crashed along with The Great Hall, The Creator Expert Mini, and another harry potter set.) AND another harry potter set with Hermione, Neville, and Mad- eye Moody/Barti Crouch Junior in his classroom(#4).😶
Same 😂
Those shelf’s are literally the only thing I want in my life it’s cool
Like the cube shelves in the background?
@@CheeseyStudios yes
@@CheeseyStudios and the legos in it
I really wish those 1x6 wood-grained tiles were prints and not stickers 😭It would be such an amazing part and would go so well with the 1x4 version.
Agreed. They'd definitely get their money's worth out of it too - it would be such a useful print to have.
Lego - Harry Potter - Christmas time and almost doesn't get any better than this!
Thank you!
Right on! No problem at all :D
I have the newer set and found the weird fence and rotating stone to be pointless additions to the set.
Yeah, the fence was definitely fluff
