Continuing my review of the 2020 Harry Potter sets, this one is #75967-1: Forbidden Forest Umbridge’s Encounter. It depicts a scene from the fifth book/movie titled “Order of the Phoenix.” The set contains 253 pieces and retails for $29.99 in the US. This works out to $0.119 per piece. The US release date was 24 August 2020. The set was released on 3 May in Germany and I found it on sale for around $22.

Nothing special about the packaging. Full set on the front with play features on the back.

The contents are 2 parts bags, 2 instruction booklets, and a small sticker sheet.

One highlight for me in this set was seeing the sand green sausage. I thought it was new, but apparently this is the third set it has been in. I’ve only seen this in red so nice to see another color.

Bag 1 builds a small tree structure that opens up to include some of Grawp’s items. It also includes a Harry Potter minifigure and 2 Centaurs. For minifigure collectors, these are probably a big draw in this set.

Bag 2 includes Hermione and Professor Dolores Umbridge. The build is Grawp who is a relative of Hagrid (I forget the exact tie). In seeing the box, I thought Grawp would be a lot of BURP pieces, but it uses a lot of SNOT techniques and not as many molded pieces. The hands are molded and the face, but everything else is regular pieces.

Overall, not too much special to this set besides the Centaur figures. Probably a must buy for Harry Potter collectors. I recommend finding options to get it on sale as it’s a bit much at over 10 cents per piece.

Happy building!
