Take A Ride on the Hogwarts Express with LEGO's New Harry Potter Set
All Aboard! The Wizard World of Harry Potter comes to LEGO once again as they debut their biggest set yet! Coming in at a whopping 5,129 pieces, it is time to return to Platform 9 3/4 with the Hogwarts Express Collector's Edition set! Relive iconic moments surrounding this train and the train station through multiple years of Harry Potter's time at Hogwarts. LEGO loaded out this set with a total of 20 mini-figures, showing our favorite witches and wizard over the years. You will recognize some of the scenes captured in this set, like Philosopher's Stone with the meeting of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. We also have the Prisoner of Azkaban with Professor Lupin and the arrival of the Dementors.
Harry Potter fans will even shed some tears, and LEGO is dishing out a first here as fans get to revise Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station years later. Adult versions of Harry and Ginny and their children, Lily, James, and Albus are also included as we witness their new magical journeys are just about to begin. The Hogwarts Express Collectors Edition will be the LEGO Millennium Falcon set of the Harry Potter world, and it is priced at $499.99. The set is expected to drop on August 31, 2022, on the LEGO Shop right here.
