First look at LEGO Harry Potter 2024 sets

It’s all change again for LEGO Harry Potter in 2024, as initial images of six new sets suggest the LEGO Group is leaving behind the modular Hogwarts system that kicked off in 2021.

Update: The LEGO Group has published listings for the six new LEGO Harry Potter sets, confirming their release dates. Details below have been amended to suit.

The LEGO Harry Potter theme is seemingly hitting the reset button once again after a three-year spell, swapping out the green roofs of Hogwarts sets from 2021 to 2023 for the grey roofs we saw across the theme from 2018 to 2020. Two new segments of the wizarding school are among six brand new sets unveiled by online retailer JB Spielwaren, and they’re a clear departure from the style and format of this year’s 76415 The Battle of Hogwarts.

Otherwise, the LEGO Group’s fascination with Hedwig will continue into 2024 with a brand new character build, which arrives alongside the first-ever standalone flying Ford Anglia, a redux of Hagrid’s Hut and a model inspired by the Wizarding World’s magical menagerie. The larger sets also include new ‘collectible portraits’, printed on pentagonal tiles, revisiting a concept last seen in 2021’s Chocolate Frog-style collectible 2×2 tiles.

Check out all six new sets below. We’ll hopefully see more images of (and learn international pricing for) all of these models very soon. They’re due to launch March 1, 2024.

76424 Flying Ford Anglia

Price: €14.99 Pieces: 165 Release date: March 1, 2024

This isn’t the first LEGO Ford Anglia to come from the Wizarding World theme – far from it – but it is the first time the sky blue car has been available as a standalone set. It doesn’t look radically different from previous iterations, and isn’t quite the match for LEGO Speed Champions that some of us were hoping for, but keeping the piece count low was a smart choice: 76424 Flying Ford Anglia is a cheap and accessible set for newcomers to the theme.

76425 Hedwig at 4 Privet Drive

Price: €19.99 Pieces: 337 Release date: March 1, 2024

Halloween may be over, but the LEGO Group is still happy to give us a fright with 76425 Hedwig at 4 Privet Drive. The company’s continued obsession with Harry Potter’s owl isn’t entirely unwarranted – 76391 Hogwarts Icons Collectors’ Edition shows us how beautiful a big brick-built bird can be – but poor Hedwig could definitely have benefited from a slightly more generous budget here. With a wand, trunk, textbook and portrait of Harry’s parents, this is essentially the Icons set in miniature.

76426 Hogwarts Castle Boathouse

Price: €37.99 Pieces: 350 Release date: March 1, 2024

One of two new sections of Hogwarts on the way in 2024, 76426 Hogwarts Castle Boathouse definitely won’t connect organically to the school of witchcraft and wizardry you’ve been building since 2021. If anything, it seems a better fit for the likes of 75969 Hogwarts Astronomy Tower and 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets – but the important bit is it brings to life a slice of the school we’ve only previously seen at microscale.

76428 Hagrid’s Hut: An Unexpected Visit

Price: €74.99 Pieces: 896 Release date: March 1, 2024

76428 Hagrid’s Hut: An Unexpected Visit is also an unexpectedly welcome LEGO Harry Potter set. It’s the fifth iteration of this location to date, but also looks the most accomplished and detailed, and gives us a complete, enclosed building for the first time since 2004. New outfits for four of the five minifigures and brand new Fang and Norbert pieces top off a surprisingly desirable package – even if you own 2019’s 75947 Hagrid’s Hut: Buckbeak’s Rescue.

76430 Hogwarts Castle Owlery

Price: €44.99 Pieces: 364 Release date: March 1, 2024

If you like owls, good news: 76430 Hogwarts Castle Owlery has all the owls. Four of them, plus a baby owl and even an owl statue, in fact. Intriguingly, it also includes an underground slice of Hogwarts, suggesting the latest rebooted Hogwarts system may be building out into a castle on a raised landscape. The proof will likely be in whatever follows in the summer wave. You’ll find three minifigures in this Goblet of Fire set.

76432 Forbidden Forest: Magical Creatures

Price: €29.99 Pieces: 172 Release date: March 1, 2024

The only one of these sets due to launch in January (at least according to JB Spielwaren), 76432 Forbidden Forest: Magical Creatures leans into the Harry Potter universe’s incredible mix of animals. Buckbeak makes sense as a thematic pairing with 76428 Hagrid’s Hut: An Unexpected Visit, while the glow-in-the-dark spider and baby Thestral will be welcome for Potterheads. But it’s the bold dark blue colour scheme that catches the eye most here, departing from previous Forbidden Forest sets.

I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
