The countdown to Christmas continues, and today we open the seventeenth door of the LEGO Harry Potter (#76404) and LEGO The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (#76231) Advent Calendars.
This year marks the fourth LEGO Harry Potter and second LEGO Marvel calendar, the latter themed to the recent Disney+ The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. The Harry Potter calendar is broken down into three doors for each film starting with the first, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, so let’s see what’s behind today’s doors.
The seventeenth day of the LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar brings us our sixth minifigure, and the second of three builds from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price, the Pensieve. It is created simply from just six pieces with two spares.
Behind the seventeenth door of the LEGO The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special calendar we get a Thanos like snow scarecrow built from eleven pieces with two spares.
Let us know what you think of today’s gifts, and join us tomorrow for a look behind the eighteenth day’s doors.
