Harry Potter Advent Calendar 2024

The Harry Potter Advent Calendar 2024 brings the wizarding world into December one door at a time, with small builds and figures from the Hogwarts universe behind each of its 24 doors. At 299 pieces and 7 minifigures, it's a fairly figure-heavy calendar compared with many other advent sets. It works both as a daily December ritual and, once finished, as a small winter scene to display afterwards.

Minifigures 7

Description

Twenty-four doors, seven minifigures

Unlike calendars built purely around small structures, this set mixes compact builds with seven minifigures spread across the 24 doors leading up to Christmas Eve. That's an above-average share of figures for an advent calendar, which makes it appealing to collectors chasing new characters from the Harry Potter range as much as to anyone after a countdown. The 299 pieces break down into 125 unique elements, suggesting a series of small, varied builds behind each door rather than one large model.

A wintry Hogwarts palette

Colours lean on light bluish grey and reddish brown, fitting for stone walls, timber framing and wintry Hogwarts scenery, with red adding festive accents and pearl gold picking out finer details on figures or small props. That combination is typical of the advent calendar range: muted, autumnal-to-wintry tones broken up by a handful of festive highlights. Anyone who wants to line the individual builds up into a bigger winter display after December ends up with a fairly coherent look rather than a random mix of colours.

Use the parts list after the doors are open

Because an advent calendar is made up of many small, often similar sections, the full parts list on this page is useful for matching up pieces once December is over, especially if some have gone missing or swapped compartments. It lists all 125 unique elements with their colours, so individual door builds can be rebuilt on purpose or combined with other Harry Potter sets. Minifigure accessories in particular are worth checking, since small pieces are easy to lose during daily door-opening.

Who the calendar suits

The calendar suits anyone who enjoys the daily surprise of December as much as collectors hunting for extra Harry Potter minifigures. With seven figures spread across 24 doors, the emphasis sits clearly on new characters rather than a single large structure, which also keeps things engaging for younger builders compared with a pure landscape model. Once the last door is open, there's still enough material left over for a small winter scene that can be displayed independently of the calendar format itself.
