accio brick - the lego harry potter comm

So 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. ( Read more... )

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.

We interrupt the Jane Austen MOC coverage to bring you some (admittedly scant) news about this year's D2C. We knew it was going to be Hogsmeade and had speculated that it would be minifig / playscale as we just had the nanoscale Diagon Alley set, and now we have confirmation on both counts, plus the name, price, and piece count. The 2025 lego Harry Potter theme D2C (Direct to Customer) set 76457 Hogsmeade Village will cost $380 USD (tariffs may yet affect that) and will have contain 3228 bricks. Release date, as we've come to expect, is timed for a 01 September "Back to Hogwarts" event.



Here's hoping it's as good as 75978 the Diagon Alley D2C was. That set has really stood up to the test of time.

It seems the LEGO House Instagram account briefly posted promotional material today for an upcoming event celebrating the release of the LEGO Harry Potter 76437 the Burrow - Collector's Edition (2405 pieces, 10 minifigures, 259,99 Euro (expected retail price)), as the post has since been removed. Fortunately Jay's Brick Blog snagged the photo, and the ever lovely people at StoneWars.de have signal boosted appropriately. Shout outs to both, woohoo! 😘

Luckily, this little oopsie doozy gives us our first good look at the Burrow Direct to Customer (D2C) set since the leak from the Chilean lego dealer inadvertently provided us with a small peek a few weeks ago. ( Read more... )
