LEGO Harry Potter 2022 12 Grimmauld Place (76408) Review

LEGO Harry Potter has come out with full force, bringing fans a bunch of new minifigures and builds we've never gotten before. The largest being 76408 12 Grimmauld Place, it's one of the coolest sets but does that justify it's pricetag?

This set widely releases: 1st June (UK and EU), 19th June (US) and 23rd June (AUS)

This might be a hot take, but I'm personally happy that Kingsley doesn't have the cape piece anymore. I have the cmf series Kingsley, and the cape is always flowing way too far away from the torso/legs and ruins the look as a result. I think the best option or at least the one I'm going to take is to take the arms/head/hat from the cmf, and combine it with the new torso and legs to have a good looking Kingsley that doesn't need the cape

Man can't believe they added Garfield in this set, now I might pick this set up

I really like how both the Ministry of Magic and 12 Grimmauld Place are kind of Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows sets at the same time, with Grimmauld Place including the piano and Regulus Black’s room, and the Ministry including the Department of Mysteries.

It’s really interesting to see a bit of a trend emerging in this wave with multiple sets having brilliant exteriors and then interiors that are a bit of a let down

[starlobster]

Fun little detail with this set! In the books (and you can briefly see it in the movies), the umbrella stand in the hallway of Grimmauld Place is made from a Troll’s foot. And I love how they’ve added that for the set!

I'm happy that we finally have a Kreacher Minifigure he is an awesome character.

One of the most interesting building sets in a while. It looks a bit short but the function and interior is great, just a lot of empty space! Definitely get to Leicester Square lego store, the models are great!

[ladyaquilaHH]

Great job on continuing to put out quality LEGO content! This summer wave looks awesome but so expensive. I’ll definitely be evaluating each piece closely so thank you for the early detailed review! Keep on enjoying your holiday!

Love your honest reviews Holly! Keep it up. You don’t need LAN and all that negativity that comes with it. Glad you got this set early in the uk. I look forward to seeing how you modify it. I plan to buy one first and see if I need a second one to make it a full modular but the transformation might be tricky to modify.

[flop]

I’m really loving this new style of video. Now u r free from LAN, I feel like you are giving your real honest opinions and are actually giving the set more (deserved) criticism.

[robertbrookes]

Overall it's a cool set. The exterior detailing is gorgeous, honestly impressed at how good it looks.

The figures are okay. Tonks has to be my favourite, although Sirius is good. Think they dropped the ball on Kreacher's face print.

Really liked how they included elements from Deathly Hallows with the piano and Regulus' room.
For the bare bit with only a chair I think they could've had a sticker/print of Sirius' mother in the wall piece as that's a pretty memorable part of the house in the book.

The play feature is very smooth, impressed how Lego pulled it off. But tbh I think you could almost not have it and cut the price down and then have larger interiors, so no triangular floor spaces.

But as with most Lego nowadays the price is just a bit much for me so I'm going to pass on it.
Great review as usual Holly, happy you showed all those cool sticker designs off properly.

Thanks for showing us all the details Holly, love the facade, not just for Harry Potter but as part of my city build too, its great to see the interiors as well! Glad you are still with us! 💖

Holly, this video is sheer genius. I love that you found this, and you managed to do a really REALLY great review. Super thorough, now I know what I’m getting myself into.. maybe I’ll just be buying parts & extra sticker sheets- I love this set & the play feature, the figs are 50/50…. But making this a modular style build with a little more detail is definitely the way I want to go with it. Excellent job, keep up the great work!

[ArtWar]

I gotta respect the review coming out right now

[maniacteal]

Finally a review of this wave, thank you Holly, great YouTuber.

[blop]

The tan bats are from Deathly Hallows part 1 when Harry goes into Sirius bedroom, there are two skeleton dragons i think handging from the ceiling and by pulling a string you could make them look like theyre flying :)

Great and honest review! Really excited about these new Harry potter sets and this one will definitely be on my list for christmas! 😃
Keep up the great work and much love from sweden! ❤️❤️

[honeycombc]

Hey Holly, since you said you’re in the UK, I’d absolutely recommend visiting the Harry Potter Studios Tour in London if you haven’t already.
I’ve been a number of times, I always find something new every time I go! Hope you have a good time in the UK!

[legofrancis]

Would you consider doing a video seeing how compatible this set is with the modulars? I'd definitely get it if it would work well in a Lego city

[musicaluprising]

At last, we finally get a Kreacher minifig!

I feel like the set should have included the portrait of Sirius’ mother, I’m a little disappointed that it didn’t.

[traintrack]

Great review! The minifigures are sweet and despite the building being skinny, I think it’s still lovely :)
