Harry Potter Advent Calendar - Day 9
Posted by CapnRex101,
An impressive feast has emerged during the last few days, commencing with the dining table and then continuing with some food accessories that arrived on day eight.
Let's find out whether this feast expands further today...
Another banner has emerged instead, representing Slytherin on this occasion. Once again, the reddish brown and gold colour combination is attractive and the broad base provides ample support. The model that appeared on day five was almost identical, differing only in their flag colours, but I think the banners look nice together.
In fact, those flag colours are what really distinguish this banner because the pearl silver flag is brand new. Parts in new colours are always appreciated and the Harry Potter Advent Calendar provides several such elements which is pleasing.
Overall - 3.0 - These banners are not particularly interesting but look reasonable for decoration and the unique pearl silver flag is welcome.

Perfect summary, Cap.
The Gryffindor one was the worst because red and gold are the two most common Lego flag colors. Any banners for other houses at least will have rarer colors.
Nice silver flag, bland everything else.
Following up on yesterday, my girlfriend suggested that those yellow ice cream pieces might represent mandarin oranges for Christmas, which is apparently a thing. Looking up some images of HP Christmas feasts, online, I've found several that have big bowls of mandarins, so I think she might be right and those are the "official" intention, (though I still like someone's butterbeer suggestion).

Could we please provide links to previous reviews (at least the day before, and any relevant ones like the Gryffindor flag for today)? It'd be great if I could jump straight back to Day 5 to compare the flags.
Battle of the Licensed Advent Calendars continues. After Day 8 saw HP take another point from SW, HP fans entered Day 9 feeling optimistic. However, upon opening door number 9, flashbacks to the massacre of day 5 hit HP fans like a ton of bricks. What greeted them was another dreaded flag. While the flag's rare colors cry out to be appreciated, they can't salvage the day, as an exclusive Old Luke minifig graced SW fans.
In a monumental, unequivocal, and incomparable landslide, SW takes the easiest point it may ever get. The gap is closing fast on HP, with the score being:
HP- 5
SW- 4
To be continued...
