The countdown to Christmas continues, and today we open the eighth 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 eighth day of the LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar features a microbuild of two Dementors in the Forbidden Forest, constructed from fifteen pieces with three spares.
Behind the eighth door of the LEGO The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special calendar we get a Christmas (or Thanksgiving) Chicken/Turkey along with a flame to attach to Rocket’s oversized gun from yesterday, allowing you to cook the poultry on the included grill. It is created from eight pieces with two spares.
Let us know what you think of today’s gifts, and join us tomorrow for a look behind the ninth day’s doors.
