LEGO has done it again with another stellar Harry Potter set. The Weasleys are front and center as their home, The Burrow – Collectors' Edition (76437), is available for builders 18 years and up. This is the third Burrow we've seen from LEGO, following the retired Attack on the Burrow (75980) and Harry Potter: The Burrow (4840). Our newest Burrow set contains 2,405 pieces, stands 19" high, 10" wide, and 10" deep, and is a crafty crooked concoction.

Moms really are superheroes, aren't they? That's at least what a bedazzled Stanley cup said at my last Kindergarten parent night. I may have even seen it on a rear window a time or two next to a stick figure woman wearing a cape standing next to a gaggle of children. But all joking aside, it's true.

I'm not sure there is a better toy out there in the universe than LEGO. It's so rare for a company to span generations with a toy that's suitable for all. Video games see this success, but for a physical toy? There's no competition. LEGO has also become a saving grace for many who struggle with their mental health. As someone with anxiety, I find myself looking in the mirror when I see United States Women's Rugby Olympic Medalist Sammy Sullivan's Instagram posts about LEGO.
