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.

So via BrickTap, we now have a GWP rumour, and boy am I glad I gave up trying to guess. Read more... )

Ha! Pictures! Famous last words about when we'd see the pictures from the set, huh? Photos beneath the fold. Read more... )

JBSpielwaren have posted pictures of the winter wave! Woohoo!

Pictures below. I don't think they should be labelled as spoilers as these are basically the final, excellent quality pix, the set boxes, however, are missing a few details like piece counts, so it's conceivable, if not highly probable, that there could be a few other changes as well. Everything is below the fold if you'd like to see the new sets, sorted by the expected prices. Read more... )

And we have them! Set names and rudimentary descriptions of the Lego Harry Potter theme's winter 2024 wave! It's largely remakes / reimaginings, which this far into an evergreen theme with minimal new source material was to be expected. Fair dinkum. I do think they've missed a trick or two by not exploring scenes they haven't visited before, but it sounds like they have some ideas to keep things interesting, so let's take a closer look...

76422 Weasleys Wizard Wheezes $89.99 | 834 pieces (8+) | 7 minifigs! (HBP) We now have a soft focus shot of the set, and some answers to the question of what we saw in the super fuzzy picture of the summer line-up that I'm attaching below. Spoil yourself at your own discretion.Read more... )

Five (or maybe six) minifigs from the lego Harry Potter theme have leaked! From the look of them, they're mostly from the Hogsmeade visit in Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Draco are anyway (it's consistent both with the outfits and the midi legs we typically see for third and fourth years). It seems there is also the first ever Aberforth Dumbledore (!) minifig, presumably from Order of the Phoenix or Deathly Hallows 2, and Madam Rosmerta has been spotted with the other minifigs, although it looks like she's a repeat of hp290 the minifig included in 76388 the 2021 Hogsmeade set.

If these six were to appear in a single set, the assumption must be an Advent Calendar, as they aren't in the same movies, so the chances are good we'll see a Hogsmeade centred Advent Calendar for the 2023 Harry Potter lego theme, which would thrill me to bits, in general, but also because I've been lobbying (heavily) for the ACs to actually use the seasonally appropriate canonical content.

What If...

What if the 2022 Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar focused on the Order of the Phoenix's Christmas at 12 Grimmauld Place in 1995? With the release of the lovely Grimmauld Place set this year and an abundance of canonical Christmas material, it seems such a shame that it didn't, so with the magic of Mecabricks, let's just pretend it did... Hey Presto!

The calendar starts here with Day 01.
