Schleich #99175 2025 Harry Potter Advent Calendar - A Few Loose Ends Pt 4 Group Shot

Well, here's the group shot for the Schleich 2025 Harry Potter Advent Calendar. I still need to do the LEGO 2025 Advent Calendar group shot but it's a bit cold out in The Cave and I'm not really up to going out there for an extended period. Hopefully I can get that done before New Year's Eve though.

Schleich #99175 2025 Harry Potter Advent Calendar Day 23 - Lord Voldemort (aka Tom Riddle)

Finally! The bad guy everyone loves to hate. The nut case without whom there would be no Harry Potter - Lord Voldemort (aka Tom Riddle).

Ed

Throughout the calendar, principle figures are revealed first, and their pets are revealed the very next day. Not so with Voldemort and Nagini. Nagini came first way back on Day 15 while Voldemort was fashionably late showing up today.

















LEGO Set No. 76456 2025 Harry Potter Advent Calendar Day 23 - Mandrake

When I first saw the artwork on the box for all the little doo-dads that come with this set I thought, "What in heaven's name is that thing?" because my mind didn't make the connection right away. Anywho, 'that thing' was a Mandrake. Unfortunately, this figure does not stand on its own due to the design of the 'twig' feet.

 The twig feet have three points, one of which is longer, making it impossible to have the figure stand on its own without lopping off a bit of the feet.
