They should have given us a transparent Harry Potter figure since he’s invisible that whole scene. It would have broken up the typical Harry Potter figure we always get.
Maybe I was expecting too much, but I wish they included more iconic sweets, like the chocolate frog boxes and Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans. Edit: Even the little box seems like a missed opportunity to have had a blue and gold chocolate frog box with chocolate frog inside.
I was just thinking that! They could have a purple box piece with a print of the chocolate frog container on the top. And a brown frog piece inside. As for the Birtie Botts, the 2022 Hospital Wing set will have that piece thankfully! Im just going to put mine in this set.
A couple of thoughts I had watching this: 1. Honeydukes is orange in reference to the original version found in the Shrieking Shack in the Prisoner of Azkaban wave of sets in 2004 I think it was? 2. Honeydukes is missing the trapdoor that was in the original one which is a missed opportunity.
It's a nice set. I think the tricky thing with Honeydukes is the most we get to see if it is in the PoA DVD extras, and even then we don't get to see the upstairs of it. I think the set could've been improved if they build deeper, so you could have more of the ground floor, with the shelves of jars, the door to the basement, sugar skulls and jelly snakes etc. The three broomsticks is really good though, I wonder if they included Dean as he's also in there in Half Blood Prince snogging Ginny. The minifigures are decent. As I said the bts for PoA shows a tour of Honeydukes, so we see the Flumes quite well in that. Mr Flume looks accurate, not so sure about Mrs Flume. Rosmerta looks fine though, think the face matches pretty well actually. Dean, Harry and McGonnagal also good.
My idea is a Diagon Alley scale Hogsmeade with all the buildings that are named in the books: The Hog's Head, Madam Puddifoot's tea shop, Madam Malkin's, and there was a scene in a stationary store but I can't remember what it's called. Minifigs would include Dumbledore's Army students. Aberforth, Rosmerta and McGonagall, Fudge to represent movies 8 &3. I wish I knew how to design it on a computer!
I am definitely getting this set just to make it into a moc because it is one of the best of this wave but I just think you could add more. Overall I think this is great set and this is a great vid.
Hey holly 👋 I would love to see you do a comparison between the new honey dukes build and your moc of honey dukes! I like the look of this build and was definitely the most anticipated set for me but would have loved to have seen more details like in your moc! Please give us the instructions and pieces for your build 😂🤞🏻
LEGO's boxes seem a bit more misleading this year. The set looks much bigger on the box. Still a lovely set, I'll probably buy it. It combines really well with Creator Christmas sets.
Yea the Chocolate Frog cards just confuse me. I don't get why they didn't just release specific characters in specific sets. That way if you collect all the sets you collect all the cards....I mean obviously they can include specific prints in sets like they have done before.
Love this set! I will definitely modify Honeydukes to make it larger and maybe the 3 broomsticks as I do want extra sitting space with some of the prof and students ...will be watching to get ideas from others hopefully. Holly - I think you had mentioned about building a Honeydukes at one point - would like to see your modification of this one :)
@@user-cm5tv3qg8o I see, prob when the sets are officially released to public, someone will do that, or even Holly herself will show that after going through the sets so don't worry
This and the Polyjuice Potion Mistake are my favourites from this wave! I get wanting this set to be bigger but there's so many expensive HP sets and it acts as a barrier for collecting them all when it becomes sooo expensive so I'm happy with this set being the size that it is
They actually did that in 2001 with the Hogwarts set. It was a mini chocolate frog card with a hologram graphic on it. Would be cool to do that again but updated for moving portraits and the new chocolate frog cards.
I think we can assume Harry sneaks out through one of the secret pathways. that's why he's not in winter jackets cuz it will be too warm wearing thick cloths
Ron does mention that the owners of Honeydukes do live above their shop. Plus Harry does hear Mrs Flume telling her husband to get more jelly slugs from the basement the first time he uses the passage way to Honeydukes
It does feel a little lacking. A third building would have been nice. Hopefully we’ll get a Shrieking Shack set or Hogsmeade Train station to fill out that whole area
Great review! I understand wanting more snow detail but it's more realistic to have it collecting at the bottom of the roof. Can't wait for the next one!
It is extremely expensive in my country, but the big retailers listed it far cheaper in the beginning. So I preordered it. By now it’s already 20 Euros more expensive and hasn’t even reached LEGO‘s official price. For that I wouldn’t have bought it.
This is definitely the set i most look forward to. I hoped the stores are in the scale of Diagon Alley stores with a higher price point. I am still happy with this set. Perhaps I would do some modification to Honeyduke and make it as lively as Weasleys’ Whizard Wheezes. :)
The Scarlet Patronus moc is what I was hoping we’d get out of a lego Honeydukes. Honestly wish HD had its own set or at least was part of a D2C Hogsmeade like Diagon Alley.
10:53 Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that might be Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. I got some in Universal Studios, and it came in very similar packaging (red and white stripes with a pyramid top).
Maybe? But it says Pop! on it as if its popcorn. They are also officially making a Bertie Botts print for that piece in the upcoming Hospital Wing set that has little beans on it.
The sticker of the portrait in the Three Broomsticks is called Hengist of Woodcrofft. In Harry Potter lore the pub was his house that they changed into a pub. 😁
I've only just gotten around to buying this set. When I first saw it, it was out of stock everywhere and now I found it online! Also I have the 2 advent calendars, and the 2023 one will go so well in this set (I mean it is basically Hogsmeade anyway). Super excited to get this!
By far out of all of the lego sets that I have built, this has the worst build ever, I just packed it away because it gets me too frustrated to even finish it, especially the three broomsticks, The way the roofs are connected is abysmal, really I don’t ever see myself getting a set again, lego is getting lazier and lazier and I just don’t care anymore. Im going to start collecting things that are actually interesting and not this im done guys im done
I just watched the scene from this and it seems a shame about Harry's torso since he did have different cloths in the movie. And he should have the invisible cloak.
They should have made it so each set has half predetermined frog cards and half random that way if you do get skunked on one you at least have an option.
This is the only good HP set this year. The rest are play sets for children. Yes, I know they are toys. I'm just saying they just are not in the same caliber as the 2018-2020 sets. People are saying they can be combined because they have aligning technic pins but they go together like stripes and polka dots. I'm planing to pass on the others and get three of these to combine into better proportion buildings.
So, this just verified that I’m definitely getting this set bc I’ve been wanting Hogsmeade forever- but, looks like I’ll be getting 2 of them (like I have the $ for it- thanks lego lol)- bc Honeydukes deserves to be MUCH bigger, and the Three Broomsticks is good, but if I’m going to try to make Honeydukes larger, that one is going to get some additional space added on as well. Ugh. I guess my expectations were more towards Diagon Alley, so that’s my fault- but still.. I wish they made this $100 and added more room & physical detail rather than stickers. I mean, I love the set- I’m just disappointed it’s not bigger. And Harry NEEDS a scarf- I used to be all about making the sets the way they were intended, but Honeydukes & The Three Broomsticks are 2 of my favorite locations from the movies, thank you for the great videos!
I think the Sirius pics are meant to be different because the pictures move in Harry Potter so I imagine it's maybe a play feature that you can turn it round and change it. Edit: I paused and commented this before you said the exact thing I commented lol. I feel dumb.
I was thinking of buying two to make Honey Dukes more robust. I wish the front of three broomsticks was more asymmetrical to be more accurate to the one at Universal.
Honestly, I think this set could’ve waited until Christmas to release. They should’ve done like Ninjago did and released the sets over the course of the year, with this one being at the tail end.
Really enjoy your reviews and channel!! It’s nice to see a fan of HP reviewing rather than watching some of the larger channels that just do it cause they feel they have to review everything!
I picked this up from aliexpress, couldn’t justify the price point for this set. Was good quality for a fraction of the price - particularly if it’s only to be displayed
They should have given us a transparent Harry Potter figure since he’s invisible that whole scene. It would have broken up the typical Harry Potter figure we always get.
That would be epic.
Rather have that than a golden figure. More usable in recreating scenes.
They did you just can’t see him😂
@@faithworldleader6891the gold figures are amazing
That one moment when Mr. Flume got his own face-print before Molly Weasley.
Maybe I was expecting too much, but I wish they included more iconic sweets, like the chocolate frog boxes and Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans.
Edit: Even the little box seems like a missed opportunity to have had a blue and gold chocolate frog box with chocolate frog inside.

2. Honeydukes is missing the trapdoor that was in the original one which is a missed opportunity.
I could barely wait for this reveiw
Same!
Massive improvement to the original Honeydukes that was released with the Shreiking Shack
I just got the one of the last great hall sets. I could barely find it anywhere else and I got the last one in stock
Sadly that is because it is up for retirement soon
@@charliefen7056 thats what I realised I was debating buying it and when I saw one was left I had to buy it

Thankyou for an early reviews, just before BigWs annual toy sale next week. Will def get this one
Umbridge doesnt have those weird waste lines either 😂😂

They should have made a full-size Honeydukes including cellar and portal.
brilliant review!
Maybe would have been better as just the 3 broomsticks and they could make Hogsmeade expansions
This is the second honeydukes one came with the shrieking shack.
Love it!!!

Hogsmeade.
Does the 2020 hogwarts attach to the 2021 hogwarts sets?
sure they can
@@masonwilliams9090 i wanna see how though that’s why I’m asking. No one has attached them yet
@@user-cm5tv3qg8o I see, prob when the sets are officially released to public, someone will do that, or even Holly herself will show that after going through the sets so don't worry
@@masonwilliams9090 i hope so
Girls bathroom tomorrow???
I think so

exactly - the more we want in a set the more expensive it will be.
Agreed, that set and the first flight set will be the only sets I get from this wave.
I wonder how well hologram stickers would work for the moving portraits.
They actually did that in 2001 with the Hogwarts set. It was a mini chocolate frog card with a hologram graphic on it. Would be cool to do that again but updated for moving portraits and the new chocolate frog cards.
I need to get this. Last year I had the hogwarts express under my Christmas tree. And I'll probably add this for this year.
I think we can assume Harry sneaks out through one of the secret pathways. that's why he's not in winter jackets cuz it will be too warm wearing thick cloths
The book made a point about Harry regretting that he didn't wear warmer clothes before sneaking out.
As a fan of the Harry Potter books, who the hell are those other two people in hogsmeade
Mr and Mrs Floome, the owners of Honeydukes sweet shop.
Ron does mention that the owners of Honeydukes do live above their shop. Plus Harry does hear Mrs Flume telling her husband to get more jelly slugs from the basement the first time he uses the passage way to Honeydukes
Hey!
It does feel a little lacking. A third building would have been nice. Hopefully we’ll get a Shrieking Shack set or Hogsmeade Train station to fill out that whole area
Hogsmeade station would be perfect for a christmas feeling set
you manifested both 🤭
Found your channel today and you make some great reviews. Knowledgeable and good editing!
Early
I love how you call candy-floss ‘fairy floss’ in Australia 😂
We call it 'cotton candy' in the States.
I prefer Fairy Floss, not Candy Floss. But you Americans say stuff different. Coulors
@@BinkBricks Americans call it Cotton Candy. Brits call it Candyfloss
I think this set looks great. But I would definitely love an expansion pack to decorate and expand the Hogsmeade Village.
Great review! I understand wanting more snow detail but it's more realistic to have it collecting at the bottom of the roof. Can't wait for the next one!
46th
You’re actually 14th
Hi
Does anyone else get Christmas vibes from this set?
I get winter village vibes which is awesome! I love this set, no complaints!
"Lego Harry Potter review" = happiness
Rosmerta looks like Victoria from twilight
It is extremely expensive in my country, but the big retailers listed it far cheaper in the beginning. So I preordered it. By now it’s already 20 Euros more expensive and hasn’t even reached LEGO‘s official price. For that I wouldn’t have bought it.
$80 and only two butter beers? Now I understand why I keep seeing Ron and Hermione CMF bags ripped open in Walmart, minus their butter beers.
Hellooooo
I was first for the first time
This is definitely the set i most look forward to. I hoped the stores are in the scale of Diagon Alley stores with a higher price point. I am still happy with this set. Perhaps I would do some modification to Honeyduke and make it as lively as Weasleys’ Whizard Wheezes. :)

Can you please make a comparison video of ministry of magic vs hogsmede.i can't choose so can you please make this video.thanks really appreciate it.
I would definitely want to know what led the designers to make the decisions that they did, such as budgetary restraints and what not.
Early🥰
First hogsmede, best hogsmeade!
I mean there isn't much contest
Well, it definitely needs some improvement. Overall though it’s better than not getting one at all. 👍🏻💕
I love this set
I've only just gotten around to buying this set. When I first saw it, it was out of stock everywhere and now I found it online! Also I have the 2 advent calendars, and the 2023 one will go so well in this set (I mean it is basically Hogsmeade anyway). Super excited to get this!

The sets look so amazing 🤩

How are u getting them
The Madam Minifigure head and hair would be perfect for a river song (melody pond) Minifigure
They should have made it so each set has half predetermined frog cards and half random that way if you do get skunked on one you at least have an option.
all 2021 harry potter sets look cheap to me. So dissapointing!!
The snow sticks to the bottom because it slips down the roof to the bottom
The roof pitch of both buildings are designed to shed snow not retain it.
Holly has arm printing
Fairy Floss?! I live in Australia and have never heard that before. Candy floss?
yes, candy floss lol

Pre-ordered this (and the others) on day one. Now thinking of ordering a second one to expand both buildings.
Same goes for the bathroom.
YAY! I have been waiting for this review because I have already pre-ordered this set!
It's nice, but as an Australian, who will have to pay that $140 for it, I don't think it's even remotely worth its money.
The hogsmead set should’ve included a trap door somewhere to represent the secret entrance from hogwarts
The honeydukes exterior is completly movie accurate in the theme parks its a lot bigger
Harry really should have come with the invisibility cloak
There are 3 paintings of brooms in the 3 broom stix, Nice touch LEGO
Honestly I do not think I'll buy this the other Sets are more interesting too me 🤷♀️
Madame Rosmerta aka Bellatrix in a wig😂(I did like the points you made about how they were side characters and the repeat faces work for them)
I’m pretty sure I’m only getting this and the great hall
For my Christmas Village!
Review the bathroom pleaseeeeee
Great review Holland
I'm gonna need a bigger shelf...
Kinda sad, this was my #1... I love Dean tho!!
The snow on the roof makes sense as to where it would settle
Does Mr.Flume have a Gryffindor scarf around his neck?
honestly thought the same, it looks so similar
Does anyone know if the harry potter sets come out in june or august for North America?
August for North America
June for Europe and Australia
Mid June for Asia
When are the sets like fawkes, chess board etc coming out
August 1st
We did actually get a small side build of Honeydukes before with set 4756 Shrieking Shack
