Six minifigs in a Harry Potter advent calendar for $39.99 is a deal that almost doesn't make sense — this one punches well above its holiday price tag.

Will you love it?BDaily unboxing beats are fun, builds are tiny — the magic is in the characters, not the construction.
Holds its value?B+Retired HP advent calendars tend to find a second life; this one is no exception.
The Full Take
The 2021 Harry Potter Advent Calendar doesn't hide what it is: a daily countdown built around characters, not construction. Six minifigs spread across 24 doors makes this one of the better-stocked calendars LEGO® has put out at this price, and the Harry Potter license keeps every little build and figure in a familiar, beloved world. The individual daily builds are small and quick — don't come here expecting an engineering challenge — but the cumulative effect of unboxing a new wizard or Hogwarts accessory each morning is genuinely charming. At $39.99 it's one of the fairer prices in the advent calendar lineup, and the minifig haul alone justifies the shelf space it takes up during December. The B+ overall score reflects a set that nails its brief without pretending to be something it's not.
