Lego has launched a revamped Harry Potter collection, surpassing the quality of its earlier counterpart.
The much-anticipated LEGO Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village - Collectors' Edition (set 76457) is set to grace the shelves of LEGO enthusiasts and Harry Potter fans alike, starting from September 1 for Lego Store's Insider program members, and September 4 for the general public.
This impressive set boasts an impressive 3,228 pieces and features seven iconic buildings from the wizarding village, recreated in a snowy winter setting with intricate, cozy architectural elements like crooked chimneys and snow-dusted rooftops. The set includes 12 minifigures, including key characters such as Harry Potter, Hermione, Ron, Professor McGonagall, Aberforth Dumbledore, and more, plus a horse and carriage.
Key features of the Hogsmeade Village Collectors' Edition include:
- The first-ever LEGO versions of Zonko’s Joke Shop and the Hog’s Head pub, adding new buildings not seen in previous Hogsmeade LEGO sets.
- The village set is divided into three buildable sections, allowing flexible display options, forming a detailed street scene.
- Fully realized interiors with detailed accessories and Harry Potter references, such as Exploding Bon Bons, Butterbeer mugs, Sneakoscopes, a Remembrall, and a secret passage revealed by a portrait of Ariana Dumbledore.
- Compatible scale with previous large LEGO Harry Potter sets like Diagon Alley or Gringotts, allowing modular display expansions.
- Priced at around $399.99 (about £350 / €380) and aimed at collectors and adult fans.
Compared to previous Hogsmeade LEGO sets, this Collectors’ Edition is larger, more detailed, and captures more buildings in one connected display, including new iconic locations not previously available in LEGO form. The inclusion of a wide variety of characters and intricate interior details represents a step up in complexity and completeness for Harry Potter fans and LEGO collectors.
The store interiors of the Hogsmeade Village Collectors' Edition contain details such as skulls, sweets, tills, menus, and more, making it a visually stunning addition to any LEGO collection. Moreover, the set is designed to resemble the movie design and also captures the atmosphere of Hogsmeade at Universal theme parks.
