Review – The Brick Life

The amazing Lego Harry Potter book, LEGO Harry Potter Building the Magical World is out now!

The book covers the Harry Potter figures, sets and world of the Harry Potter Lego sets in the same way that the Lego Star Wars Visual Guide did two years ago.

Each of the various variations of the main characters are pictured including Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley as well as rarer figures like Severus Snape, Dumbledore, Dolores Umbridge, Luna Lovegood and more.

DK Press Release:

The magic of Harry Potter™ and the fun of the LEGO® world, now in one incredible book!

Since it was first introduced in 2001, LEGO® Harry Potter™ has been one of the LEGO Group’s most popular themes.

This incredible guide gives readers an up-close look at the bricks, constructions, and minifigures of the LEGO® Harry Potter universe—from Hogwarts Castle to Hagrid’s hut.

You won’t want to miss out on the exclusive inter views with the LEGO® Harry Potter™ team, and special sections allowing you to see, first-hand, how the bricks and figures come to be the toys we love today!

The book will also feature a timeline that shows the evolution of the LEGO® Harry Potter™ construction sets, video game and board game.”

A Lego Fan’s Dream

My son, the Lego fan, reads the Lego Star Wars Visual guide at least once a week and refers to it constantly when looking for sets, creation ideas or is just wanting to read about Lego. This Harry Potter Visual Guide will be no different.

I ordered our copy of the book from Amazon as it has the best price on the net.

Much like the Star Wars Visual Guide book, the LEGO Harry Potter Building the Magical World also has an exclusive figure which is Harry Potter in Triwizard Formal gear.

Our Recommendation:

This book is an amazing resource and should be on the shelf of any Lego fan, young or old.

With a comprehensive guide to the figures, sets, games and much more (as well as a free figure) this book is hard to resist, especially when you can find it heavily discounted!
