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 12 of the 12 Grimmauld Place Advent Calendar

Day twelve we'd get the floor lamp from the drawing room in Grimmauld Place to throw a little more light on things.

The floor lamp can fit in the front left corner of the drawing room of the 12 Grimmauld Place set, or be used as a stand alone with the other advent calendar builds.

If they really wanted to keep with the game concept (personally I'm not a fan, but then I don't have anyone local interested in playing it with me), they could draw rooms on the advent calendar packaging and maybe make a new form of CLUEDO. "Who did Hermione see sneaking about the house last night?" A hungry Fred in the kitchen with the Christmas pudding; a restless Ginny in the drawing room with the Christmas candle; an anxious Harry, plagued by nightmares, jumpy in the dead of night and wielding the golden frying pan of fury. Approach unannounced at your own peril...

No custom prints again today.

Running totals:
Total minifig count: 03
Total piece count (excluding minifigs): 125
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:

Guess away!

I would So play ClueDo with you! Hungry Fred in the kitchen with the christmas pudding is my guess... no brainer, Fred & George Always up to Something! Those two were the ultimate Grifferins. That floor lamp is cool! No clue on the next one though?
