Privet Drive was a present I'd been putting off building and the calendars were my monthly build ,but I did tell my Wife just pick one from the PILE ,and this was it. I'm modifying it -slightly more depth and the staircase will be as it is in the movie

Must be a good few black slopes among all those bricks you've rescued!

As with the modification I never have the pieces I actually need, people that dump lego must not be in tune with me

Building by box art and turning 5-6 pages instead of  1 by 1, led me to placing reg plate on 2nd 1x2 black tile as opposed to the 1x4 plate on boot lid of Weasleys anglia , at least it could take 4 figs on non-bendy legs ( hope twins are in next year's advent calendar).

1-1-23 can only mean a late Christmas present but in reality it's my 1 set per month build. 76398 hospital wing a really great set and an iconic scene for a few movies. This is the prisoner of Azkaban one but Harry or Hermione from others could be posed too! I built using box art and skipping many pages. It felt like lego of old and better than the piece by piece pages of today.a great build with the clock mechanism to assemble too. Pity a spare cast and the baby skull went icluded,I'm a pessimist by nature sorry!

Star Wars trench 75329 and a crazy expensive MelGeek Pixel keyboard for me.

Oh, and Speed Champions Lamborghini Countach and Aston Martin DB5
Currently typing on a Lego keyboard (honestly, I am!)
