We start Day 1 of the Harry Potter Advent Calendar with none other than the Boy Who Lived, all dressed up in his best Wizard robes. HARRY POTTER™ HEDWIG™ Hand CreamINGREDIENTS: Aqua (Water), Cetearyl alcohol, Paraffinum liquidum (Mineral oil), PEG-100 stearate, Glyceryl stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Glycerin, Dipropylene glycol, Parfum (Fragrance), Carbomer, Methylparaben, Sodium hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Limonene, Eugenol, Citronellol, Alpha-isomethyl ionone, Geraniol, DenatoniumA pretty solid addition for Day 5, and now Harry Potter has his crush that he failed to ask out as a Yule Ball partner to join him! For this tree, I don't really like the combination of cheese wedges and pyramids (and @Greshi is right about the decorations, where the blue pyramids and clear cheeses should be flipped on the sides). The color scheme definitely works for the scene that's being depicted, but I got a bunch of the previous HPAC to build a forest with the trees, and I don't have any intention of doing that with this one. The broom and shovel are nice, and can be attached via the clip. You can also attach the wreath to either stud, but I chose to clip it on the flag, to make it slightly easier to grip and raise it to send the letters flying out!

I love the use of Day 2 for microbuilds (we got an amazing micro Hogwarts Express in Day 2 last year), and I think the design works for Hogwarts, and I like that the Gryffindor Tower, Great Hall and entrance are immediately recognizable. Day 11 of the Advent Calendar is a bit of a basic build to pad out the Yule Ball setting – a Fireplace!Harry has a companion now, albeit one that he actively dislikes, and it’s great to see more of Harry’s life in Privet Drive come together. If you're still shopping in the run-up to Christmas, we have loads of great ideas to help get you even more in the festive spirit!
