12 Grimmauld Place Advent Calendar Day 06

What If...

What if the 2022 Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar focused on the Order of the Phoenix's Christmas at 12 Grimmauld Place in 1995? With the release of the lovely Grimmauld Place set this year and an abundance of canonical Christmas material, it seems such a shame that it didn't, so with the magic of Mecabricks, let's just pretend it did... Hey Presto!

The calendar starts here with Day 01.

Day 06 of the 12 Grimmauld Place Advent Calendar



Day six, a kitchen cupboard comes to Harry's assistance.



Harry deflects Fred's attack with a Puking Pastille with the Daily Prophet, Accios his wand away from the lanky ginger and promptly sends the second Pastille flying towards the convenient cupboard. It looks like the manoeuvre has taken Fred by surprise and might succeed. Harry's clever like that. The Prophet, it transpires, is far more useful than its often erroneous headlines might lead one to believe.



No new custom pieces today.

Running totals:
Total minifig count: 02
Total piece count (excluding minifigs): 59
Of those, custom pieces: 3 (2 torsos, 1 2x2 tile)



I always like to guess what the pieces in the Advent Calendars will build before peeking at the pictures, but here you see them assembled. To compensate for that, I've decided the best approach would be to include a picture of the next day's parts so you can play along at home:

Guess away!
