We’ve been slightly giddy about the return of LEGO Harry Potter, especially after our chance to get a close-up look at the Fall Preview Event 2018 in New York. Well, now we’ve managed to get our hands on a copy of 75956 Quidditch Match and we’ll see if this set at least lives up to our high expectations of the returning line… The box & instructions The set comes in a medium-sized box, and has a decent rattle and heft (always important indicators of LEGO set quality in my opinion). The packaging’s front features Harry, Hermione, and a moody-looking Ron in the top corner whilst displaying the contents of the set: a Quidditch pitch layout based on the match depicted in the first novel and film in the series — Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (or The Sorcerer’s Stone for you Yanks reading this).

The 1920s witnessed the birth of some beautiful boats, such as the Olmaha, built by J.M. Martinac of Washington state in 1926. Markus Ronge has artfully recreated this classic yacht with impeccable detail, complete with convincing curves from bow to stern. In the cabin, 2×2 “crate” pieces have been used to great effect and give off the impression of ornate woodworking. The surrounding waves feel organic, and I love the way Markus has used white bricks to form the ship’s wake. When not in the water, Markus props the Olamaha up to show off its bright red hull.
