Review: 43245 The Magical Madrigal House

Posted by ,

Encanto was released in 2021 and has become unexpectedly popular, hence LEGO is returning to the film this year, having produced just three sets originally. The family home, named Casita, definitely deserves a bigger and more detailed model than 43202 The Madrigal House.

43245 The Magical Madrigal House seemingly satisfies that need, almost tripling the piece count of the previous set and containing several more memorable locations from the movie. In addition, this set provides a great selection of mini-dolls, including three family members making their debuts in mini-doll form!

Review: 76439 Ollivanders & Madam Malkin's Robes

Posted by ,

76422 Diagon Alley: Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes was released last year, introducing a new range of relatively affordable Diagon Alley shops. This series provides definite potential and continues with the appealing 76439 Ollivanders & Madam Malkin's Robes.

Ollivanders is perhaps the most famous shop in Diagon Alley, so is an essential addition to the street, while Madam Malkin's Robes has never appeared in LEGO before and provides something completely new. However, these buildings seem relatively cramped, which could present an issue for their interiors.

Designer insight: Joel Baker

Andrea's Family House

Andrea's Family House

Many LEGO set designers use our BrickLists feature to maintain a list of the sets they've worked on and often provide interesting insights about their involvement.

Once a week we publish an entry from one of their lists on the home page to increase awareness of this information and to encourage more designers to create them.

Joel Baker wrote this about their work on 41449 Andrea's Family House:

Lot's of color changes and new parts for the builders!
Working on this set was a joy. I tried to pack in as many fun details as possible.
My brother and cousin were major inspirations for the set - they both have a bit of Andrea in their personality and like to rock out in the garage.

The 3x3x2 curved window element idea originally came from a Diagon Alley sketch model. I worked with Yoel on the window frame - the Yoel and Joel tag team!
