acciobrickWhat 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 11 of the 12 Grimmauld Place Advent Calendar
Day eleven the drawing room gets a small side table with a candle to provide light.
"It's just as well we were doing the decorating," Ginny tells the boys. "If mum had done it, Sirius would be busy through the Easter hols trying to set things back to rights. Or, um, what passes for them..."
"Might give him something constructive to do with himself, though? Take his mind off things?" offers Harry, who well understands the need for that on occasion.
Gin just shakes her head, unconvinced from the state of the Order's headquarters that a spot of housekeeping would be adequate to the task, or even if it were, that Sirius was likely to prove inclined to attempt it.
The table fits right next to the armchair in the window recess of the 12 Grimmauld Place set.
No custom prints today.
Running totals:
Total minifig count: 03
Total piece count (excluding minifigs): 119
Of those, custom pieces: 5 (3 torsos, 1 2x2 tile, 1 2x2 tile circle)
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:
Day 12 Pieces
Guess away!
Some recommendations:
If you like Harry Potter MOCs, checkout the Horizont Alley build.
