Six minifigs in a single advent calendar is almost unheard of, and the 2020 Harry Potter edition delivers them alongside a B+ overall that makes this one of the smarter holiday buys in the theme.
Is the price fair?A+Six minifigs and a beloved license at $40 flat — that's a deal that was obvious at launch and looks even better now.
Will you love it?B-The builds are bite-sized and forgettable, but the minifig haul saves it every time.
Holds its value?A-Retired Harry Potter advent calendars have a track record, and this one's minifig count gives it real staying power.
The Full Take
Six minifigs across 24 doors is a genuinely rare thing for an advent calendar — most struggle to hit four. The 2020 Harry Potter edition leans hard into character variety, which carries the set through its weaker moments (some builds are done in under a minute). At $39.99 it was priced right from day one, and the combination of a beloved license with strong minifig density means it has held up well post-retirement. The tiny builds won't blow anyone away on their own, but arranged together they read like a miniature Hogwarts Christmas scene. For the theme's fans, this is a calendar that actually felt worth opening every morning.
