Lego Diagon Alley (is huuuuuge)! Building Flourish & Blotts and Florean Fortescue's Icecream Parlour

Oh mah gosh, the new Lego Diagon Alley is absolutely massive with what is essentially four magical Lego modular buildings situated side by side. With over 5000 pieces, the box is understandably very heavy and filled with magical Lego pieces. Okay, so the Lego isn’t magical, but the building experience sure is 😛. I intend to take my time and enjoy this build, so let’s do one building at a time and see everything there is to see - today’s build is Flourish & Blotts bookstore where every budding magician gets their books for school, and Florean Fortescue’s Icecream Parlour. Out of the four modular buildings, this one is the one that I think will fit into a normal olde worlde Lego City build if you want it too, and it’s a bookstore AND an ice cream shop, so what’s not to love? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Hi! If you've just dropped by, I'm Ellie! Stick around and I'll build for you while I review new sets. I tend to geek out about new pieces, interesting building techniques, giggle too much and just generally ramble. I'm easily distracted so I get stuff wrong which I fix up, mostly, but in the end there is always an awesome model ready for play and display. Huzzah for Lego, the building and creating tool for anybody, no matter what age you are!
