NEW Wands?! The Battle of Hogwarts - LEGO Harry Potter Early Review!

[@se7ente3n]

the modules should all have alternate builds moving forward, it’s such a great idea and allows for more creativity. gives me the same vibes as the back of old star wars boxes that have crazy alt builds

[@CheeseyStudios]

Agreed! Love how much you can do within just this one set

[@Tigerbricks11]

I really like the Voldemort and new wand pieces. I agree, though. We should get some white or blue spells. Super cool set overall.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Hopefully more of these spells to come in future sets

[@The_Worst_Warlock]

If I had the room to display them I’d love to purchase and make that “full” display of Hogwarts. The bridge is probably my favorite of the two possible builds given but I think that’s just my strange attraction to castle bridges in general lol

[@CheeseyStudios]

Space is definitely always the issue 😭 I do wonder how big that completed model actually is

[@OttersGame]

​@CheeseyStudios it's actually not that large; for some reason the luffy encounter set isn't included 🫤

[@bricksingeneralnospaces]

props to the designer that bridge transition is amazing

[@CheeseyStudios]

Big-brained stuff! I hope this honestly becomes the standard for large expansions

[@azarishiba2559]

I didn't expected you could build that bridge! I think I even like more that alternate build than the main one. I also like the dynamism this set offers. So, will you try to ensemble a Hogwarts Castle with all these recent years sets? It would be nice to see a video of your take on Hogwarts Castle :3

[@CheeseyStudios]

I wish I had kept all my expansions together, but unfortunately they're long gone 😭

[@azarishiba2559]

@@CheeseyStudios Woooot?

[@wolterfox1332]

unironically one of the best Harry Potter sets. Not because of the fancy magic things you can get... okay maybe because of that too, but the minifigures are amazing!

[@CheeseyStudios]

It's a really fun expansion. I've found myself rather bored of a lot of the other ones lately, but this is something special!

[@lbricks7631]

The modularity on display here is so inspiring.

[@CheeseyStudios]

Right? I was so seriously impressed. Definitely one of my favorite sets from last year

[@blsof8bc]

Thanks Caleb, great review. Would love to see you bring together all those sets to replicate the Hogwards super-set you hinted at the end. Cheers!

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'll have to see if I can get my expansions put back together at some point. I do wish I had kept them together now 🤣

[@napsbrickrailways2290]

I haven’t bought many of the Hogwarts expansions from the last year or so because im not too keen on this style of Hogwarts. I much prefer the older playsets from 2018/2019 etc… However I will probably pick this one up. I love the minifigure selection and I especially like the viaduct design.

[@redxphones3281]

Damn, when he said "very very very soon" in the previous video he really meant it.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I'm not messing around LOL 😆

[@iiamasandwich7123]

as a fellow fan of the books and movies (not the merch prices) i wouldnt be suprised that we would be hyped by that one rock in deathly hallows with the amount of deathly hallows stuff lego is coming up with

[@thelivingbrick56]

When you get stuff sent early are they free or do you just get the option to buy it early?

[@CheeseyStudios]

It is sent for free, yep! It's through a program called the LEGO Ambassador Network

[@nicklockk]

That you can take a lego set apart to mime destruction is not a feature. It's lego!

[@thebrushdescendsthelength]

lol I was so glad when you fixed the piece at 4:35, that was irking me! :P

[@thebrushdescendsthelength]

great vid as always btw

[@adrianprepelita8683]

I have all the expansions, except the 2 GWP, with a lot of customisations, and I can't wait to get this set!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Yo! That's epic. Will you be making the completed castle? 👀

[@adrianprepelita8683]

@@CheeseyStudios not in this form, I have already made too many changes to my sets)

[@omeganeox]

ah i love when they give us a ton of new cool effect/power pieces in bags like that and when they give multiple of the cool weapons, like they did with ninjago and other things. just makes life much better ! :D

[@CheeseyStudios]

These are going to be so fun for MOCs in the future!

[@ZBricks]

would've loved to see you try to put together all the expansions as shown in that pic you talked about... it's. a shame you didn't keep them together though

[@CheeseyStudios]

Yeah, unfortunately this is the only one I have still together 😭

[@Failure_inc]

I love the fact it all can come togheter for a bigger hogwarts like that’s so cool and do the new wands also appear in other sets?

[@CheeseyStudios]

There's one other set with a new wand - it's the Expecto Patronum set (big blue deer)

[@thomasbagola4314]

Do like the alternate build as well but hope to also eventually get the sets all combined to the full castle. Right now they are on a long shelf side by side due to space limitations but I'm sure that is the same for many others

[@CheeseyStudios]

I wish I had kept mine together, but I took them all apart because of space issues too. Oh well...

[@bricksfordom]

The new spell effect pieces look amazing, I will definitely need to get my hands on them

[@CheeseyStudios]

Yes! It's a thing I didn't know I wanted, but I love it now that they're here

[@jackstearn9049]

You’re the only channel to have reviews! Excellent!

[@CheeseyStudios]

Wanted to get them to you all as soon as possible! Glad you're enjoying :D

[@Clone_Captain_Rex]

No they dont ? There are more channels with rewies

[@Farmer_Rat]

Harry Potter was always my fav line of LEGO, im deffinately gonna pick this one!

[@CheeseyStudios]

It's a really fun expansion! Love the modularity

[@Lordodragonss]

i LITTERALY just want it for pieces.

[@daylemur149]

I’ve got some questions about the knew transparent piece, can both ends attach to lego poles? Or just the one, and with the knew wand, is it noticeable it’s knew, and how does it look without the transparent piece? I would love it if you made a quick short just showing the wand with the transparent piece and without it same for the transparent piece with and without the wand attached!

[@CheeseyStudios]

The wand is dual-moulded! The transparent tip is part of the wand, and they are inseparable.

[@daylemur149]

@@CheeseyStudios oh man! That sucks, I thought it could come off, thanks anyway, glad I know that now

[@Tae-Joon-Park]

Im trying to built the howle hole…idk how to spell but the official Lego hogwarts castle. I saw a photo of the whole thing sadly I haven’t watched both of your vids jet so I don’t know if you showed it.hope you will do it too

[@mike.94]

I think that Moody's hairpiece or just Dastan's would be much better for Scabior

[@CheeseyStudios]

Yeah, we need something more messy

[@8Eli]

The only reason I’d buy this would be for the piertotum locomotar stone guards, but apparently this one doesn’t have those guards-

[@CheeseyStudios]

Ah yeah, some of those would have been sweet

[@royalpiggo6164]

Hey you should do a reviev of the Atlantis theme, i think a lot of people would like it.

[@CheeseyStudios]

I've got plans to Revisit it in the near future! :)

[@kulehulfer4385]

Been playing hogwarts legacy and watching the movies again, actually pretty fun reliving Harry Potter

[@CheeseyStudios]

My wife and I sat down just last year to rewatch too. There's some really great moments you forget about!

[@Dewebje]

Now the castle seems finished, I hope they do new Hagrid's hut. I mean: that's part of it. Isn't it? Also, we did not have seen a new version of the hut for some time.

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's a good point! Honestly I would love a collector's version of the hut. Vignette style with terrain and garden. That would be so cool!

[@Dewebje]

@@CheeseyStudios collectors version not essential. Just minifig/this series scale. At the other side.. .

[@zarda1484]

Those light gray bricks are really inexcusable at this point. They do not look good and I think them being a fourth color makes too many of these builds look too busy and less pleasant to the eye.

[@CheeseyStudios]

100% agree. They're such an eyesore, especially with so many for the extra configurability in this set

[@SpingebobTheReal]

nice btw can you give a hint whats the next Minecraft biome after the basalt delta

[@CheeseyStudios]

Thank you! It'll be an underwater build. It's even available as early access right now :)

[@teriyakisocks]

Every lego set has an alternate build its just in your imagination

[@CheeseyStudios]

True that!

[@johnhart8856]

I recently built the ministry of magic moc by JL.BRICKS and I used these new wands and their blast effects pieces to replicate the Voldemort vs Dumbledore fight in the Atrium

[@CheeseyStudios]

That sounds really cool!

[@Matt..S]

It's ironic, Voldemort is the only minifigure with a nose

[@CheeseyStudios]

That's so true lolol

[@anonymousperson8475]

This set is pretty good, but the figures continue the problems that HP figures have had since basically 2019. They’re small things, but they add up quickly to make a somewhat sloppy or disrespectful feeling end result. Female characters don’t get new face prints, some characters who need it don’t have leg printing, Voldemort’s wand is white (it’s very obviously not in this scene) and there’s hypocrisy when it comes to who can be included and who can’t. For example, Cedric wasn’t in the graveyard duel set, but Scabior, Bellatrix, Nagini and Voldemort are here. It’s weird and when you collect all of the sets and minifigures, it’s really noticeable as well.

[@CheeseyStudios]

The female characters having their face prints constantly recycled between themes drives me nuts...

[@gasmonkey_plays]

This is by far my favorite castle set.

[@CheeseyStudios]

It's a really good expansion. If it had more interesting interior, it would be perfect!

[@divider904]

W vid

[@CheeseyStudios]

❤️❤️❤️

[@vlaciti]

In my honest opinion, these sets are cool for only the figures. The builds are really awful as they are 90% open. These should have been priced more for an enclosed interior

[@CheeseyStudios]

I do wish we'd get better interior dioramas from the HP line. There's a lot of potential there

[@Rukatu2137]
