Hogwarts Moment: Defense Against the Dark Arts Class Review!

[@general_hammond]

That black color is sooo cool. The new gun metal grey chest is also gonna be so useful.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Next year I think I need a dark red and dark blue - those would make great colors for these too. I'm excited to use that chest in some MOCs!

I would love to see this theme continue, but I’m not sure what classes they could do that we haven’t already seen? Perhaps ‘Defence against the dark arts’ but from different years with different teachers perhaps? Perhaps ‘care of magical creatures’ with a Hagrid and Buckbeack but that would probably work best as a regular set.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I could see them expanding beyond classes even, as I feel a "Hogwarts Moment" could be most anything. Care of Magical Creatures is the biggest missing one in my opinion too. With a few years between them now, I could see us return to the potions classroom with Slughorn. A sickly pink Umbridge book would be fantastic as well!

@@CheeseyStudios great ideas! I was also thinking that a hogwarts kitchen set with the house elves, or maybe even a little quiddit h set would be fun

[@zdogge08]

This is one of my favorite scenes of the movie and the fact that it was put into lego makes me want nthis version the most. I agree that there should have been more brick details instead of stickers, but still cool. I do like the edit you made to the clip showing exactly why I was surprised to hear that they made this set. Overall with the new pieces I feel like the price was fair.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Getting to rewatch the scene to make this video was really cool. It's been a few years since I've watched all the movies and I forget so many of the great moments. I really need to go through and watch everything again - I imagine it would serve as some great building inspiration.

[@GrumpyJ83]

Ah yes the "dark arts" you mean the fun lessons lol.. great review. I'm really needing to get these books

[@CheeseyStudios]

They've certainly surprised me. When they released last year, I had no interest whatsoever beyond getting that McGonagall figure. I got my first two Hogwarts moment sets as a Christmas gift from my bro and only then did I figure that I was missing out on something pretty cool! I'd very much recommend them now. Packaged up they're plenty displayable too!

[@hiddenbrickstudios]

I you think about, this scene is were mad eye wanted Neville to use the cruse that made his parents went insane. Poor never having to use the same thing that made him lose is parents

[@RalphsBricks]

Not being a Harry Potter fan I would have had no idea what all these books were about. However I find your reviews of these sets very enlightening and I almost want to get one to build myself. LOL, who am I kidding I'll just want to part it out. TBH you did lose me at "stickers". Maybe it was the close up of your camera but I saw a ton of knicks on your minifigs more that usual.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Yeah, Moody came with a rather egregious dent all across the bottom of his torso. I didn't notice until after I had recorded the audio portion, else I probably would have said something. It's something I'll definitely be looking for in future sets as it's not cool to get them like that straight out of the box. I can understand some minor scratching as the pieces bounce around, but a proper DENT means something is going wrong in the factory.

[@theadhdmarketer]

I didn't get them fast enough so I only have two but might still get potions and one more for myself for Christmas!

[@rozasupreme]

Potions with Slughorn just so I can have a Jim Boradbent figure

[@Mizai]

never knew bionicle still existed (due to a youtube playlist glitch this was posted to the wrong video)

[@trulsdirio]

Would have been fun if you just got a random teacher with each set lol

[@CheeseyStudios]

That would have been wild 😂

[@hiddenbrickstudios]

I'm jelly, I haven't seen this set yet

[@CheeseyStudios]

Hopefully it should be popping up everywhere very soon. I found this at Scheels here in Minnesota, though it might be worth waiting a few more days to get it at LEGO Shop@Home for the VIP points!

[@hiddenbrickstudios]

@@CheeseyStudios closes scheels to me is st. Cloud, witch is a hour drive

[@CheeseyStudios]

@@hiddenbrickstudios Yeah... probably not worth it for a $30 set 😪

[@JCResellez]

Great video!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you!

[@johnpowell2431]

Check your local Walmart because I just bought all the sets a week early. Got them a couple hours ago by pure luck.

[@CheeseyStudios]

My Walmart was super strange in that it only had the Divination Class set for some reason!

[@hiddenbrickstudios]

I got 3 out of the 4, missing this dark arts book.

[@johnpowell2431]

Mine had about 5 of the divination sets and only one or two of the others. They were going quick.

[@umtpz]

I believe you can put the figures on top of the books

[@remenny]

Super video😍😍😍👍🏻

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you!

[@hiddenbrickstudios]

Are you getting the way over priced trunk

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'm passing for the time being based on the exact reason you bring up 😂 I do think it's a fascinating set that I'd love to take a look at, but I cannot justify the price at the moment.

[@hiddenbrickstudios]

@@CheeseyStudios it's really small

[@Mizai]

nice
