LEGO Harry Potter 2021 Chamber Of Secrets (76389) Review

[@kirboioproductions74398]

0:17 I love how she already has the set built in the background and holding just the box

[@TheFirstCurse1]

She was too excited to build it LOL

[@kirboioproductions74398]

@@TheFirstCurse1 that is probably the legitimate reason why

[@anastasiajones8839]

I wish they gave Luna a different face, or just not have included her in this set, she wasn't even introduced as a character in the Chamber of Secrets book/movie. But I do like that Ravenclaw robe piece.

[@ondradosedel]

Ikr, Luna is so random in this set. I mean it's nice that they wanted to include the Ravenclaw robes, but Penelope Clearwater would make much more sense, and she would be a new character too.

[@jimjohn2170]

I’m pretty sure that’s Penelope Clearwater and not Luna. But I don’t know, they’re both blonde and in ravenclaw.

[@ondradosedel]

Nope, the official Lego website lists the minifigure as Luna. Also, Penelope would have normal sized legs as she was in her fifth or sixth year during CoS.

Holy crap the constellation in the Astronomy Tower is the Kanohi Hau, a Bionicle mask, that's awesome! Makes me super happy as a massive Bionicle fan.

[@MegaMoviesDK]

Me too!!

[@BdSS432]

ok good. im not the only one that noticed it...

[@MateAnimations]

What a minor but awesome detail, which brings back memories. ✨ Thanks for that, I wouldn't realise it by myself.

[@FITF48]

What a nice 20 year tribute

I love this movie 🥰

[@ondradosedel]

Lmfao😂 someone who has both minifigures should recreate that in Lego

[@ihazaqwestion0207]

lmao

[@therabitoshowrules]

I'd assume there's so many chocolate frogs in the set to go with the chocolate frog cards

[@anastasiajones8839]

I love that Hufflepuff robe piece, and the diary. Colin, Nick,Professor Sinestra, Dumbledore, and Voledmort all look really good. I just like all of it!!!!!

[@famousbowl9926]

Really? Even Voldemort? With that big ole 20 on the back. Lol

[@bigbadger100yearsago7]

The telescope sees through walls. MAGIC

[@roguebricks1691]

4th walls

[@potatosoupgirl]

Haha!!

[@shadowbonnie7726]

Id like but your on 69

[@milowells1386]

I have the ser and it fdels lile that piece has a weaker connection sl it can be removwd

[@robertbrookes2000]

I don't know why Justin and Colin's second expressions aren't their petrified expression. Especially Colin's which was all scrunched up.

[@al0742]

They could've used Gabrielle Delacour's face for young Luna.

[@HollyOnFilm]

YES

[@milowells1386]

Or for ginny bc she gets put in a coma its not the same when she is staring lol

[@legofrancis9095]

Yessss this is so exciting! I was initially frustrated with the green on this set but honestly this looks really good

[@Gnomechild]

Its rare color and i think it looks better

[@erikmartinez1384]

I love the "BAM!" with Tom Riddle. Great moment

[@fokladwille2345]

The new snake thing whatever is super cool. Much better then the ugly black one in hogwarts big haul!

[@HollyOnFilm]

I KNOW RIGHT

[@annelinton1896]

hollys build of the basilisk is so much better but the one in the set is a big step up from the one in the great hall

[@anastasiajones8839]

I am sooooo excited for this set! It is probably my favorite of the new wave! I just can't control my excitement for this!!!!

[@ryanremenap5616]

I, again, LOVE the pure excitement on her face and in her voice

[@bricksbydylan1092]

I'm going to watch this a thousend times!!!

[@goran3336]

Yeah me too

[@Alijahs_Animations]

Yep

[@Alijahs_Animations]

Second time

[@rxstrictions]

Good luck

[@redbat5062]

I’m so glad your doing this review first

[@hyperzzg9787]

The reason you can easily take the great hall of the chamber is because you can fit the rest of the 2021 sets into one castle where the poly juice potion mistake set goes above the slide and everything else is moved up :)

[@thelegosuperhero8961]

I can’t wait to get this set, it looks so good.

[@marmar2727]

Amazing review! A lot are saying that the set with the brick built Fawkes seems random but I think that it really compliments the Chamber of Secrets. After all Fawkes was really prominent in that movie

[@elunedlewis]

Ahhh I’m so excited for my birthday! That’s when I can FINALLY get my hands on this set ! I love it 😻

[@joshlima8894]

Fun fact The basilisk is actually a leg less lizard you can see this in the basilisks jaw it’s fused in the middle unlike a snake were it’s held together by a thin tendon

[@dbricks5084]

Idk why but at 6:32 that "BAM" is making me laugh so hard! XD

[@jamescoffey6871]

I think the chocolate frogs are there to make it look like they escaped from the packet, as you get 6 chocolate frog cards.

[@thomasjeppesen3055]

I’m so disappointed that after twenty years the chamber of secrets couldn’t be its own set. I really think Lego missed out on creating a great play set. Imagine if they’d spent all the pieces from the Hogwarts part to make the walkway, brick built snake heads and perhaps even an open pipe on the side of the built that the basilisk could chase Harry through. They could even have included a deathly Hallows version of Ron and Hermione, along with the Hufflepuff Goblet.

[@Short_Guy]

That’s too good Lego can’t do it

[@KristenWhere]

Love seeing you so genuinely excited, this review (and all of your reviews, but especially HP ones) is so detailed and you help me out tremendously in making decisions as to what to get first. Can’t wait to see Hogsmeade! I think Hogsmeade might be my first and this my second- but I’m still playing catch up on other series sets that are retiring.. ughh! Anyway, thank you again, keep up the great work!

[@ilovefrenchtoast]

I am so hyped with these reviews, Holly! But that "Ginny in the wig" part cracked me up! 😂 Thanks for the great videos Holly! :)

[@BrickHub]

Hopefully, they make more of those golden characters. They had a bit of an odd selection for this wave.

[@hienpham9239]

The nearly headless nick minifig is 100% awesomeeee 😱😱😱👌

[@redpencil4733]

YESSSSS I have been waiting for this thank u holly

[@joelpaltzer8732]

I had the original 2001 hogwarts castle set when I was growing up and the nostalgia is just hitting so hard for me. I also had other sets like the girls bathroom (then the slytherin common room) and it's just so great to see Lego doing stuff like this to pay homage. I started really getting back into lego about a year ago and I went back into my bucket of legos and rebuilt some of my older sets and I cannot wait to put them next to the new sets.

[@MonteaDavid]

Wow glad I just checked KZbin!!

[@piotrjasinski2130]

Me about LEGO Harry Potter 20th Anniversary sets: Woo. Woo-Woo. This is going to be the best day of my life. My life

[@potatosoupgirl]

This is a definitely a Christmas Set. I can't wait until it's released!

[@anastasiajones8839]

Ginny in a wig😂

[@kylemcrobert8302]

This has better minifigure selection than great hall because of Luna Lovegood. She's so beloved and we get her in the ravenclaw robes and she wasn't even in the 2nd movie!

[@deldarel]

oooooh, I love the idea of the wizard cards being randomised! I just wish they'd at least keep them unique per set, but the idea that it's randomised at all I quite like. And I love that they're in 3 colour frames too. Amazing nod to the best harry potter game of all time. As an obsessed kid I used to make my own cards like these. Mum bought me a stamp collecting book to put them in after they were printed out. In hindsight I think she got that rather than a dummy photo album so I'd print small to save ink. Also a statue of slytherin that the serpent actually fits through! Amazing! A shame that they needed stickers for it though. I would have loved a full relief statue, even if it were crude. It's big enough for it and it would break up the pill shape it has now.

[@pysz6748]

Clones have invaded Hogwarts.

[@samuelkirkwood6702]

Lord Goldemort, lol. On the plus side with the tiles, they'll likely be quite collectible and in demand, thus easy to sell. Excellent review, glad I pre-ordered and decided to base mine and my brothers Hogwarts build around this set.

[@C8Minecraft]

Im going to place gold hedwig in the normal great hall and using pieces from the moments books I will use the great hall as a charms or transfiguration classroom

[@badwolfbricks5547]

So excited to see this review, also really excited to hear the results of the Photography Contest. I literally only got Reddit to take part in it but honestly even after submitting my picture of my Doctor Who moc I've just been enjoying sharing pics of other Lego I have in your Subreddit. I really hope I win one of the prizes. ❤❤

OH MY GOSH THE PIXIES!!!!!

[@blondealpaca880]

The glow and the dark technic ball could be a prophecy orb

[@soniaholcombe7002]

This is a solid set. I personally like the sand green roof. Otherwise it would just be a remake of the other castle sets with a bit of variation. Besides it definitely stands out for an anniversary wave. Love the frog cards. 😉💙👍🏻💖

[@simmer-og2xp]

I'm so excited I just can't hide it. I built the great hall set the other day and was so disappointed by the basilisk, so this basilisk is great.

[@MrHangman56]

definitely getting this set. it's so much larger than i thought it was.

[@marknieuwstad2504]

Great review. Compared to the movie I thought the Basilisk would be more sand-blue instead of green. But the head is a big improvement.

[@maxxor-overworldhero6730]

Haha, the Constellation piece has Tahu's mask!

[@goran3336]

The big building is 8x24 studs i guess 🤗

[@michaelfernett9597]

At 30:18 on the black tile there is what I think is a reference to either hero factory or bionicle

Yes finaly!! I'm so excited!

YESS...This set is amazing!!

The constellation on the star chart is a Bionicle mask

[@alexdickson8626]

I kind of like that the new great hall is less furnished. The 2018 one ended up just sort of being a dust trap.

[@CattopyTheWeb]

I'm intrested, can you use the 2021 Hogwarts great hall set, the chamber of secrets part to use under the 2018 great hall ? And the other 2021 Hogwarts sets ?

[@HollyOnFilm]

It would be too skinny but with a bit of modding I reckon it could be done

[@Someone-nz6ou]

If I ever get the set, I’m gonna try that. Good idea

[@CattopyTheWeb]

@@Someone-nz6ou thanks

[@nokiYT.]

Oh yeah The video we waited for 🙃thx

[@retrobrickreviews687]

The tower having an Astronomy room at the top is a reference to the 2001 Hogwarts. Much like that set, this has the conical tower top attached with only a couple studs, making it easily removable to use the telescope (this is shown in the official images).

[@rhianhopkins4343]

the hollow bit behind salazar lytherins head could be the sewer system harry runs through and tricks the basalisk with a rock

[@wrecklessanimations436]

I'm glad u showed up in my recommendations

[@Ol_Lochy]

The glow in the dark technic ball may be supposed to be a crystal ball?

[@No.body_2]

Great review! Have you ever thought about doing REAL vs FAKE videos where you compare real lego harry potter vs fake ones.

[@ryanremenap5616]

I plan on picking up all the castle pieces this year, because it feels sorta incomplete without them all, and, they’re AWESOME this year!

[@benjisbricks]

Thanks you so much for the great review!

[@jogburn]

This is AMAZING!!! btw, what does dual molding on minifig legs mean? Trying to expand my Lego word bank 😂

[@HollyOnFilm]

It’s when the leg is physically made up of two different colours in the moulding, rather than the colour being printed on (e.g. Daffy Duck, Woody TS4, Spider-Man figs)

[@jogburn]

@@HollyOnFilm ok, thank you! Yes that would have been the best for Tom!!

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

I actually like Luna Lovegood's inclusion. She may have not appeared in Chamber of Secrets, but she was Ginny's age when she first came to Hogwarts. It's a nice detail for her first year.

[@therabitoshowrules]

So is lockhart's portrait printed on the piece or a sticker?

[@quick4912]

Great review, this set looks awesome! I'd love to see a comparison of this set to the 2018 great hall, as well as all of these new sets put together and other combinations with these new hogwarts sets, and maybe what this set would look like attached to some of the older hogwarts sets, like the astronomy tower.

[@cormacrooney2891]

Just an fyi the open robes were from Harry in the series one cmf anyways love the video and can’t wait to pick this up

[@Rhewtani]

My most recent bricklink order? LURPs and bases and dark bluish gray galore ... I have to put the full run of 2018 sets up on basements ... er ... dungeons.

this just went on a decent sale at a store near me so I’m just rewatching this to see if I finally wanna buy it haha

[@boxofscrap]

I've got more bad news about the frog cards. I know we assumed that if two cards were in the same bag they shouldn't be the same, but I just opened my Polyjuice potion mistake set, (where both cards are in the same bag) and they're both McGonagall

[@klockowycebulion7874]

Yeah!

[@ravenspurplebeats5412]

cant wait for this set, got it on pre order! but mostly got it for building and figs (minus gold voldemort)

[@labradoor3884]

I wish that lego had made a chamber of secrets set that was able to fit with the 2018 set bu going under it so the great hall was on top of the chamber of secrets like in the 2002 wave because i feel like it would be super cool

[@TomMRiddle96]

The great hall top looks very much like the 2001 version (4709) with the half plates in the corners, that minifig head under the bowl, and the tower with banner in center.

I couldn't agree with you more! Overall I like the set and I am planning on buying it, but I feel like Lego missed the opportunity on this one. When I first heard we're going to have a Chamber of secrets set I was very excited because it's one of the my favorite books and we didn't have anything like that since 2002. I feel like they could have taken away the great hall portion of the set (since we have had many in the past) and invested into adding more details to the chamber itself...

[@LBPfan18]

I seen that little Bionicle easter egg by the telescope! Why does Lego keep putting the Bionicle references in big expensive sets or sets I just dont want. Lol

[@kenthuang436]

I just bought this over the weekend and plan on getting the others sets that can fit together with it.

[@ItsTealAlright]

You should try and add the castle bits to the end of Sesame Street with the technic pins, lol.

[@louis6307]

What a great set. Just a quick question how tall is it so I know if I can for on my shelf?

[@HollyOnFilm]

Since it’s all modular you can change the height, but in its default mode, it’s 15.5”/40cm

[@olivertreesbowlcut9769]

Lmaooo the ads😂 chase the bag I guess

[@patrickchoque7720]

At 30:20 is that a constellation in the shape of a bionicle mask?? It looks a lot like one haha

[@fakeflash0794]

Im buying it for sure but i think i will customize some parts of it. I plan to turn the great hall into a classroom. Im gonna put the door of the chamber between the the two parts of the chamber, in its accurate position.

[@mattwhelan13]

imo they massively missed a trick with the gold 20th figures not having the original prints and designs, for example the printing on the Harry uses the new uniform print and the Quirell uses the new style turban mould over the old one

[@EsCey318]

Sorry in case you already mentioned it, I didn't watch the whole video yet. But will you do a video replacing the sandgreen roofs with dark bluish grey ones?

[@HollyOnFilm]

Yep, just waiting on my last Bricklink order to arrive ☺️
