acciobrickSo we have first news of what awaits us during the now annual Back to Hogwarts Special Event lego has for the Harry Potter theme starting every September 1st.
The event will take place 01 - 07 September 2025, with GWPs (gifts with purchase) on offer while supplies last. Experience shows it's worth deciding what, if anything, you want in advance and acting quickly. Please note: the price thresholds for the GWPs may be off, but I'm not sure if this is the result of tariffs. Take them as ballpark figures, and we'll have to wait for official confirmation. I also think there's a good chance the pound and euro numbers are reversed. We'll know soon enough.
The first GWP is the 40770 Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement I presented in the previous post. You can now see its entry on the Italian lego store's site (unless they've taken it down again).
40770 Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement
202 pieces | 1 minifigure (DH Neville Longbottom)
It fits in the 2024+ modular Hogwarts Castle.
Set includes hammocks and portrait.
The threshold for purchase is expected to be $130 / £130 / €115
spent on lego Harry Potter theme purchases. Available from 01 September while supplies last.
As we've seen in past years, there's a smaller GWP for smaller purchases, although it's likely this will once again 'stack' and be included as well if the higher threshold is met.
30706 Quidditch Lesson Polybag
27 pieces | 2 minifigures (PS /SS Harry Potter in training kit and the statue Neville Longbottom gets stuck on)
The threshold for purchase is expected to be $40 / £40 / €35
spent on lego Harry Potter theme purchases. Again available from 01 September while supplies last, and with the possibility it will stack with the other GWPs. Yes plural. Because...
There's now supposed to be a third GWP!
Like we saw with the Weasley clock with purchases of last year's D2C 76437 the Collectors' Edition of the Burrow, with purchases of this year's lego Harry Potter D2C set, Hogsmeade Village. I've discussed this set in some detail before. You can now see its provisional 'teaser phase' entry on the Italian lego store's site (again, unless they've taken it down).
Only with purchase of the 2025 lego Harry Potter D2C set
76457 Collectors' Edition: Hogsmeade Village
3228 pieces | 18+ | 12 minifigures
available from 04 September (I assume pre-orders will be possible to secure the GWPs)
A Metal Hogsmeade Collectors' Sign
presumably like the vintage signs they occasionally offer as Insider bonuses. Nope. I've just spotted a pic and will post that for you. It feels similar in style to last year's Weasley clock. See the upper right of the picture below. There are three emblems, one for Honeydukes, one for the Three Broomsticks, and I think the third is somehow supposed to represent the Hog's Head. I'm going off the writing on that one. I honestly don't see it at that angle and resolution. (There's also some irony that two of those are the parts of the set I'm least chuffed about. 😆)
If you're considering putting together an order for the GWPs, it's worth noting the Harry Potter BrickHeadz go on sale 01 September, and can be used to meet those thresholds. Even if you aren't an avid BrickHeadz collector, they're always worth a consideration for ebay as many people don't order from the lego store directly, although I'm not sure why.
