17:06 this was the only Lego set I had as a child so this one holds a LOT of nostalgia for me
Hi Chippy 😊
@@ChippyGaming didn't think I'd see you here lol
Hi terraria man
That one is so fun, too. The web trap play feature is absolutely brilliant!
there is something very nostalgic about the hyper detailed prints paired with super blocky pieces
Right? It's just so on-brand for the era. I love it.
These videos most take a long time to make and I just want to thank you for taking the time to make these and make some people smile, thank you.
That means a lot. I'm really glad so many people enjoy these!
The old harry potter sets have a feel that i dont think can ever be recreated
I believe that's called "your childhood"
Indeed. It was a different era for sure. TLG and the Harry Potter franchise have changed so much since. I'll always miss this style of set though.
Yeah, it's kinda nostalgic. It feels like the older sets are more special due to the creative freedoms of the Designers of LEGO and the various other building Ideen at the end of the instruction. The Designers really cared for the development of creativity in children, which is awesome.
EDIT: Sorry for probable mistakes in the words here but I still have a German automatic correction.
For real. If I ever find myself comfortable enough to spend on something extra, I would swing for some classic Star Wars and Harry Potter sets.
I get what you mean they have like an original nice feeling in my opinion ❤
Lockhardt would make for such an amazing spinoff for Harry Potter. Small mini series about "his" adventures with Branagh
omg that would be genius
Oh yes. Have you seen "Our flag means death"? Steed looks SO much like Lockhard.😅
Yeah… will sadly never be made because of the reboot 😔
That could be sooo hilarious. The films have their flaws, but the casting was always perfect.
gotta make it so that he constantly looks edited into the scenes, like he wasn't there and they just green-screened him in to replace the real heroes of each story
Fun Fact: The 8x16 Dark Grey bricks in these sets are the only source of those parts and are necessary to recreate many of the structures from the Rock Raiders game!
I’d’ve never guessed that!
They are wonderful pieces! Extremely useful for making any model super sturdy
16:21 my brother and I built this set at ToysRUs as kids, so I can confirm that they gave out stickers to apply to a tan and blue brick for the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw insignias, respectively. I've been meaning to rebuild my copies for years, now you've given me more motivation to do so, thank you!
That’s really cool! I would love to get this set, I just can’t seem to find any of these for sale.
I remember seeing kids build those at Toys ‘R’ Us! I miss all the fun lil events TRU used to do. ☺️
@@SanguivoreNgl if we still had Toys R Us near where I am I'd go no matter how old I get, they had some great stuff there
@@O111e Me too! ^-^ I love Toys ‘R’ Us!
Wish I had been slightly older so I could have experienced this! It's crazy how rare the towers are now. I hope your stickers are still intact!
This video brought me back to times when I would spent hours looking over posters of these sets that we could at the time never afford...that and later playing Chamber of Secrets on PC
I wish I remembered more about the PC game. I know I had it and played it, but it was just too long ago...
I love how the grey flag is meant to “contain” the bludgers
I am surprised by how well the shapes line up though;
Early lego has just that fealing
Indeed. Truly a vibe
7:52 Aww, Draco teaching Goyle how to read
Wholesome lolol
As a total arachnophobe, I still don't know why I absolutely needed the Aragog set.... My mom turned this and the Quidditch set into a DIY advent calendar, each day a handful of pieces wrapped up in giftwrap, like an early version of numbered bags, and so every morning I could build a few steps of the set. But really....spiders...for Christmas? Why. In my opinion still the best Aragog, precisely because he doesn't look that creepy
Oh mein Gott, solche Adventskalender hat meine Mom mir auch gemacht. Die Säckchen hat sie selbst genäht und bestickt. Mal mit kleinen Playmobil Sets oder Lego. Wir hatten ein süßen kleinen Laden in der Stadt, wo man gebrauchte Spielsachen kaufen konnte.
Sounds like an awesome advent calender🔥
That is such a sweet and creative thing for your moms to do! :D
That's so wholesome ❤
Moms are the best. What a fun way to make the joy last a little longer!
I always thought that “bag of stardust” 1x2 tile print was a chicken leg…
You are not alone
That's the very first thing I thought upon seeing it in this video, lol.
I also thought that. xD
Kid me definitely would agree too 😂
this is so nostalgic for me, even though i never had any of these sets growing up and they were slightly before my time, that classic lego simplicity makes me so happy
Right? It's such an iconic aesthetic. Takes me back...
Watching your Harry Potter videos is such a joy. Idk how to describe it, but it feels like someone pets my brain.
26:55
I think this scorpion was meant to represent dragon's body and a tail. At least I always thought about it that way
Ahh, I can see that now! Very interesting
Have you considered doing a revisiting of Lord of the rings? I'd love to see that!
I would love to! I have a good chunk of the sets, but I'm still missing enough to make it very very expensive. 🤣 We'll see. Maybe I could find someone in the area I could borrow from to use for a week or two
ive never clicked on a video so fast. i love this trip down memory lane with the theme that really got me passionate about lego. i look forward to seeing the series continue
Omg, it was also the Harry Potter theme that made me a Lego enthusiast.
Really excited about the 2004 PoA sets. Those were some of my earliest LEGO sets, and it's definitely the wave that got me obsessed with LEGO as well!
@@CheeseyStudios Are you going to do all the movies, or just the first few?
@@awesomeanimator0773 I'm going to probably do through the 2011 sets!
@@CheeseyStudios cool 👍
I love my sand red Lockhart fig... great video on these amazing sets and figs grumptastic job my friend
Sand red could almost be brought back for minifigures alone - there's so much potential there!
Dumbledore's mailbox, the unintended easteregg for German Potter fans
I'm a German Harry Potter fan, but I don't get it. Could you explain it, please?
@@Linda-dd9nt Search for "Post für mich" and "Fresh Dumbledores Büroeingang"
@@Linda-dd9nt Fresh Dumbledore "Post für mich"
@@Matt..S Oh mein Gott! Wie konnte ich das vergessen?!
@@Linda-dd9nt Bald 20 Jahre her :S Wir werden alt
My favorite set from this wave is probably Aragog in the Dark Forest. I just love the mechanism so ingenious and fun too. Truly spectacular.
That really did blow my mind. It's so insanely clever - just makes you smile!
If Lego does another Knockturn Alley it will be the first HP set I'll be buying since I was a kid in the early 2000s
I'd love to see that as a Diagon Alley expansion!
I completely agree!
The monkey's paw curls
Very well done again. 52 entertaining minutes! Nice to see the more unique parts in this series, I’ll be adding these to a wanted list 😉
Yessss! There's so many great old parts from this year. Glad you enjoyed the video!
There are things I know look worse about these sets, but what I love so much is that these sets don't just try to recreate the movies; these lego sets try to recreate the feeling a kid would have had watching them for the first time. At least for that, I will always respect these more than their rebooted counterparts ❤
That's a great way of putting it! You're so right.
LEGO Harry Potter is such an essential part to my childhood. Especially this wave, as I received so many of the figures off of Bricklink for Christmas, followed by some pieces like the basilisk for my birthday, along with instructions. The set I have the most nostalgia for is definitely the escape from Privet Drive.
One of the bits I find funny, from the main Chamber of Secrets has to be with Tom Riddle just reusing the Harry hairpiece. The piece Lockheart had, but in black, would have been so perfect for Tom Riddle. They actually did rectify that when they did the video game.
Great vid.
These overview videos are so nice. I get to see all of the sets that I could only imagine by reading the ads on the back of the manuals. This was my favorite series but I only had a few sets. Once I spotted a mostly complete collection at a friends house but he wasn't interested in letting me see it so this video is the first time I really get to see them assembled. Thanks for making these, it's like an advanced form of nostalgia.
I'm really glad you enjoy these! It's so fun getting to share the complete collections with you all
love that nether portal in dumbledore's office
true lolol so ahead of its time
Can we please petition Lego to bring back sand red?? GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
Pleaseeeeee 😩
Im so glad you came out with part two!
And hopefully quite a few more parts to come! 🤞
man. i miss this era of lego so much. fun mattered more than accuracy.
Exactly. LEGO forgot they made toys over the years 😭
The Dobby head really looks creepy. Who knows what he saw, when he still was with the Malfoys?
There's so many untold stories in those eyes 👁️👁️
Great job on both part 1 and part 2, these reviews are absolutely amazing! Hit me right in my childhood feels, I will be sourcing some/most of these sets soon. Great work!
Really appreciate it - thank you!
Would love to see you do a wave review of the fantasy castle sets. Your attention to detail and quality would do it justice
Eventually :) I've got a good chunk of the sets, so I think I can make it happen!
Nostalgic look back @ HP sets! Thx for the history lesson! 💕
No problem at all! ❤️
this was a mind blowing series for its time. Loved playing with all my sets as a kid and the modular system. Even more so when Prisoner of Azkaban was released. Can't wait for your part 3 video when the era of yellow minifigures end and skin colour introduces
Part 3 is going to be a ton of fun. I absolutely adore those sets
harry's barber absolutely did him dirty in these early sets
Indeed 🤣 Ron's bowl cut is quite brutal too
Great video, and fun having the short cameos from the other TH-camrs about their favorit set of the wave!
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed this one!
GUYS DONT SAY "where did voldemort go? Nobody nose" TO VOLDEMORT
*WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE*
I got whole bunch of printed wall pieces with snake mouth from pick a brick crate. Used them as generic walls turned backwards.
Hey, that works too lol! It's nice to have such large bricks
The most anticipated video series for me, keep up the good job, excelent video
Thank you! I cannot wait to record part 3. That's gonna be so fun
As a kid I loved Harry Potter, and the first two movies are still by far my favourites. The other movies never managed to enchant me. I would pine looking at pictures of this whole set shown at the end of Garfield magazines. In the end I never got any of them, my only ever Harry Potter Legos being exclusively from Goblet of Fire. Just hearing that iconic tune makes me feel nostalgic. Love watching your videos, it takes me back to a time where I'd have tons of fun building whatever from all the pieces collected.
Really glad you enjoy these! Excited to get to the Goblet of Fire sets eventually :)
That privet drive set is so nostalgic for me. I got for my birthday that year and my brother helped me put it together. It was my first proper lego set. I took the flying car on lots of real car journeys and would have so much fun with it. Love the video 😊
Thank you! Love that I could bring back some good memories ❤️
2000s LEGO sets had so much soul (especially the early HP series) and left a lot to the imagination, something I feel is missing from the "sculpture" style of newer sets that are clearly just meant for display
Indeed. Makes me glad I got to grow up with these sets - I had a lot more fun with them!
Can’t wait for part 3 love your dedication and hard work keep it up please and thankyou
Really appreciate it! Excited to get to work on that one too. It's gonna be a lot of fun
This is by far my favourite series on TH-cam!
Love to hear it - thank you! I absolutely love making these kinds of videos too
These sets are amazing. I love the Slytherin house and the Basilisk. This is a truly great line
Right? I just love how complete it feels too. It covers every aspect of the movie!
I honestly love the unique magical creatures from this wave of sets, while I never personally got the originals I did manage to get Fawkes and the Basilisk from Bricks and Minifigs. My version of this Basilisk is also missing the glow in the dark fangs when I got it, they substituted them for the silver chrome daggers, which I thought looks really cool.
It's almost like he's had some dental work done 🤣
Really fun video. I especially like the play feature on the Aragog set, super creative
Right? I miss stuff like that. So many of the original HP play features were so inventive.
6:03 Goyle was also featured in 2010/2011 wave :))
RIP, I always forget him
@@CheeseyStudios Such an odd choice to include him, right? That's why I had to get him in my collection 😂
Ah yes, Uncle Vernon’s table with the sorcerer’s stone, resurrection stone, and Luke Skywalker’s backpack 😂
Classic Vernon behavior 🤣
Dumlebore's Office was one of my favorite sets as a kid. Those spiral stairs are so fun.
It's such a creative set. There was just so much to do in it
17:20 It's really odd that for one time LEGO decided to create accurate printing. Also Harry's checked shirt is accurate
21:11 It's worth mentioning that Vernon Dudley's face was exploited outside LEGO Harry Potter (to be honest only Lucius one probably was also reused amongs many to choose). Vernon was also a knight or a Police officer!
27:51 I recently bought new version and I love it. But old version, with weird shelves full of goodess and Dumbledore's private mailbox... You just can't pass away without looking! 😂
33:00 This hairpiece is PURRFECT for Bo Katan. Lego shouldn't give up on this mold imo. It's great 38:53 It's sad that LEGO got more inside info of the production, because it would be great to see book-based Chamber with enormous Slytherin's statue 44:01 Inclusion of two base plates is very neat 46:01 beside Troll on the loose and marauder map set this is only set I desire to have from pre 2010 waves:))
The Marauders Map one is awesome. There's so much whimsy packed into that small package. I'm so excited to cover those 2004 sets!
Yoooo I straight up forgot I was in this one LOL another fire video 🫡
Ha! Thanks again for the contribution ❤️
49:03 Yoo we had da brain piece from the studio set growing up i love that piece!!
Ayyy nice! It's so cool 😂
shoutout to Stephen for keeping his gilderoy so we could eventually buy it from him lol
love seeing the collabs in big revisiting videos like this! really exemplifies the community aspect of waves like this
thanks Stephen you're a real one
Despite me being a screen accuracy fan, there's a real charm to these older sets.
All the colourful pieces and prints really amp up the magical nature of the theme. Plus, the sand red Lockhart is stunning.
Really enjoyed the cameos from other Lego-tubers, especially Holly, who also does excellent Lego HP coverage.
It'd be so great to see sand red return. I do feel there's a place for it in the current palette, and there's so much potential there...
I have a distinct memory getting the spider set on my birthday - my family thought it would be fun to play football outside, and as a kid who wasnt into sports this felt like an afront to what I thought was my celebration, so I went to my room and built this set instead… the things you remember!
The chamber of secrets themselves was always a big desired set that wasnt in the cards for me as a kid. I am hoping one day we get a big +18 esc display with the buildable head & proper justice for the basilisk. It is, truly epic, and as a kid whats cooler than a giant snake?!
An 18+ Chamber of Secrets feels like a no-brainer! That could be truly incredible, and it wouldn't even have to be anywhere near $400 or whatever.
@@CheeseyStudios You could probably do it proper justice with 200 - the head, the serpent & base with the water and surrounding area, with Harry, Tom & Ginny… and faux(?) of course!
A cool part about the Chamber of Secrets is that it can hinge closed to an actual hallway with the walls enclosing the rest of the plates. Those gray paths become one gray path in the middle leading to the statue. I still find it very cool!
Also, if you don't mind seeing some gaps and some accesories, the chamber could work if you turn it around and have the back face the front as an outside wall.
That's so true! It's so cool to see how easily that single set could be reconfigured in a variety of ways
Now this is a special video for me! When i Got back into lego i slowly started collecting all of these (and some of the 2001 sets) the dualing club was the first older set I bought sealed. Stir have all the sets assembled and on display together
These are peak nostalgia! Glad you enjoy them too.
Man.... I should rebuild my Lego Harry Potter sets. I have most of these old ones scattered over many drawers. I grew up with them and the old Harry Potter PC games, the combination of which made me obsessed with building all sorts of Lego hidden-door mechanisms.
I lol'd when I saw the scuffing on the brooms at 12:27, very relatable
It's pretty funny to me that Lego went for bright green robes on that one Lockhart figure, considering for the movie they gave him something like 13 different costumes, (half of which are only ever seen in his moving photos or book covers) and none of them are bright green
I do wonder if they saw some sort of concept art or something that never made into an actual costume. Definitely a weird choice, but it still looks cool at least!
The blockiness of Fawkes now reminds me most of those old-style dragons from the medieval themes. But yeah, back in those days I thought it was a Duplo element 😅
It's sooo weird, isn't it? 😂
I remember in the Lego Indiana Jones video game, in the Well of Souls level, you would have to face off with the Bassilisk.
I've gotta play that one again - it's been too long 😭
I recently got the dueling club used off eBay (recently being 6 months ago lmao) … such a great set, I was fortunate it came with the catalogs and posters and everything, and the capes and stickers hadn’t even been applied. I love the classic sets despite the fact now most of my attention is going towards collecting the new 2024 expansions because it is the best for display value
That's a great find! It's such a fun set. So many cool parts and figures.
I cant wait for the next installment! 😊
Next part will be so much fun. Lots of awesome sets and parts in wave 3!
It's interesting how Americans say Lucius like "Loo-shus" instead of "Loo-see-us" like in the movies.
Even I'll concede that Loo-see-us is the correct pronunciation 🤣
Always love long retrospective videos, very well made!
Just wanna mention that Goyle did appear in 2011 in the only pre-2018 set I own from the theme😉
Thank you! Can't believe I forgot about him. That set is honestly filled with all sorts of unusual characters!
@@CheeseyStudios agree
I luckily got Dumbledores office for a good price I hopefully with try to get more anyways great video I was excited for this series the continue!
That one is such a great set - probably my favorite of this bunch! There's just so much to explore in it
@@CheeseyStudios Agreed I even got the modern to compare the two 😅
Dumbledore's office is the only set from the Chamber of Secrets wave that I own. I remember being so excited to buy it with money I'd saved up over birthdays, Christmas, and grandparent visits. It's also one of the sets my siblings and I owned which had part of the instructions or the whole instruction booklet disappear. (Note: a shoebox or small plastic bin in which all of your Lego instructions are stuffed into is an absolutely terrible way to store them and did not help this.) All these years later and I still suspect my youngest sibling as the culprit, but I don't think I'll ever know the truth.
That set is such a good one. Glad you got to experience it for yourself, too!
Great video! I believe that everybody’s favorite gungan, Jar Jar Binks was the first Lego molded head in 1999.
Early Star Wars and Harry Potter sure broke a lot of new ground for minifigures!
Still wild to me that Lucius Malfoy went to pilot school after visiting Knockturn Alley and now owns a Desert Biplane
Talk about turning your life around 🤣
Amazing as always! prisoner of Azkaban are my favorite Lego sets of all time and I cant wait to see you get to them! I also cant wait for your next exo force video!
Lots of fun stuff in the Revisiting pipeline. I'm thinking Exo-Force will be up next in August!
I agree completely about your point about playability trumping displayability any day with LEGO. I feel like that's a huge part of what's missing from the essence of LEGO these days.
Exactly. It's a pity, because sets these days just aren't as fun.
What great timing. I just bought two different partial sets (one is an alt build from the directions) and a Lockhart
Both Lockharts are such awesome figures
38:05 🤓snaked face
31:42 That is such a cool extra build
48:15 Glad these arent needed for the phantom moc lol
I gotta stop using rare pieces in the custom mobs 🤣
A long cheesey studios video?! yippie I can watch this in chunks :)
I've never even touched Harry Potter sets yet I love the classic look
It's such a vibe! I'll forever miss this style, as it's very much what I grew up on
Please make more of these videos 🙏 🙏🙏🙏
Lots more to come :D
to be fair to the knife teeth I'm like 90% certain that was for the play feature of having a lego harry hold one of the fangs to stab the book like he does in the movie
Yeah, exactly. I would love to own those parts one day...
can't wait for part 3!
That's gonna be such a fun one!
23:46 those are Dudleys cybernetic parts its in the book
Ahhhhh
I've lost touch with an old friend of mine, but he had a pretty great Harry Potter collection, and he did have the whole Hogwarts over the Chamber of Secrets setup, and it was really cool to see. I wonder if he still has all those old sets and if he still wants them. I don't really have room for donations at this time, but I wouldn't say no. XD
Definitely can't turn these ones down if the chance comes by 😂 They're such fun sets
The only ones I don't have is Slytherin, Dueling Club and Quidditch. I think the Chamber was so much better in that size than teh most recent. And I LOVED Dumbledore's Office.
Bigger is sometimes just better! It made it feel more real.
52 minutes, thats crazy. I like longer video's. But the short ones are also perfect
The longer ones are always fun :) There's just so much to cover from these Harry Potter waves!
Well this was a very fun video. Love your enthusiasm to these sets.
Thank you! Ah, I love these sets so much. But I'm really gonna lose my mind over the 2004 ones!
6:10 I didn't know until this video that Goyle was in the 2011 set 4867 Hogwarts. I've seen the figure and thought he was an unnamed Slytherin student.
The 2021 set 76386 Hogwarts: Polyjuice Potion Mistake was a great return to this set and an addition to modern Hogwarts in the process.
I always forget about that 2011 set too. There's quite a few interesting and unexpected characters there!
Great video, great insight so thank you! 🙏
Really nice and nostalgic video❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
Hour long Cheesy vid, today is a good day!
👌👌👌
Seeing these retail prices for the amount you got in these sets back in the day has me salivating. I know there's inflation and all to consider, but still. Three exclusive minifigures in a $13/£10 set is absolutely mind-boggling by today's standards.
It was such a different vibe! Ah, I miss it too
Was waiting for this vid sm! As a child I loved the chamber of secrets and desperately wanted the big ‘chamber of secrets’ set and even from an age of 5 man oh man I wanted that awesome sand red Lockhart. I Also vividly remember the 4731 Instructions and stealing my dad’s original luke skywalker hair to match the instructions 😂. Anywho great vid, reminds me of your original chamber of secrets review which brought me to Cheesey Studios!
lol! I hadn't even thought about how a bunch of kids probably thought their set included the wrong hairpiece...
The Chamber of Secrets original sets for me are the best of the early Harry Potter sets
They're sooo good. Lots of fun, lots of secrets, and some of them even look halfway decent too!
I always likened the chrome gold coin sprue as a snitch because it sorta looked that way
That's actually a really clever use for that!
Ahhh ashnflash jumpscare lol
So many people have said this it's hilarious lolol
Hungry potter and the chamber of snacks
so true
Finally I've been waiting for this
I can't wait to start part 3, too! Those are some of my all-time favorite sets.
I think any Aragog Lego set ought to be named, "Follow The Spiders".
That's a very fun set name honestly
@@CheeseyStudios "Follow the spiders... Why can't it be 'follow the butterflies'?"
- Ron Weasley
😆
7:00 I've never liked the suggested combination for these sets. Too much has to be removed from the top of the bathroom set which also should be above the Slytherin set, since that is located in the dungeons. Lego must have paired these two together since they both feature the flat baseplates, instead of the 1-stud-high ones in the rest of that Hogwarts line.
Yeah, it's a weird one. I realize the small size kept the cost down, but I would have much preferred the standard brick bases!
I got 20 seconds in and said oh yes out loud
Love to hear it 🤣
Now that I watched this video, I realized that Lego never made a Madame Hooch minifigure for today's Harry Potter sets. 🤔
There's been two new ones since the 2018 reboot! They're both quite nice. I'd send a link, but can't get to Brickset atm
I have re-get the 💚 suit of the Harry Potter character sadly erased the torso details completely off so I will try to re-get him.
Ashnflash jumpscared me
🤣
