LEGO Harry Potter 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition visual tour and gallery

Place a deposit, make a withdrawal or just commit grand larceny as you tour the newly-revealed LEGO Harry Potter 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition with Brick Fanatics.

Unveiled by the LEGO Group today, the 4,803-piece set towers over two levels to reach an astonishing 75cm tall – and is basically everything we could have hoped for from a Gringotts set in 2023. You’ll be able to buy your copy from September 1 if you’re a VIP member, or September 4 if not, for £369.99 / $429.99 / €429.99.

Before then, find out everything you need to know about the latest Wizarding World set – which joins 71043 Hogwarts Castle, 75978 Diagon Alley, 76391 Hogwarts Icons Collectors’ Edition and 76405 Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition in the pantheon of LEGO Harry Potter direct-to-consumer sets – with our visual guide to 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition.

76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition layout

While the LEGO Group could probably have gotten away with giving us just Gringotts itself to place alongside 75978 Diagon Alley (more on that later), the designers have gone above and beyond by splitting 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition over two different levels: one above ground, and one below. The bank sits precariously atop a series of subterranean vaults, through the middle of which runs a central support that’s doing a lot of literal heavy lifting.

The Ukrainian Ironbelly Dragon from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is then perched on the roof, culminating in a display that’s not unlike something you’d see on LEGO MASTERS. The entire model sits 75cm high, which is even taller than the tip of 71741 NINJAGO City Gardens’ radio antenna. If you don’t have the space to lay it out vertically, however, you can also lift off the bank and place it next to the vaults for a wider display. Options, options.

76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition details and features

Inside and out, 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition is packed with magical details – from countless stickers and graphics (such as an ‘Undesirable No. 1’ poster and a feeding schedule for the dragon) to the Thief’s Downfall waterfall and glass chandelier. It’s pretty much everything you could hope for from Gringotts – and the Magical Menagerie next door is sure to be full of surprises, too.

76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition also includes what looks to be a pretty neat function in its underground level, with the ability to stop the mine cart when it reaches each of the vaults (instead of having to manually catch it before it spirals away down the track). Exactly how that mechanism works has yet to be revealed, though…

76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition new pieces

At first glance, the Ukrainian Ironbelly Dragon’s head, mouth and wings in 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition look to be designed exclusively for the magical beast (rather than borrowing existing elements from, say, NINJAGO or Monkie Kid). Beyond those, not many new pieces are jumping out from the official images, beyond what look to be newly-printed pillar elements surrounding the bank’s foyer.

The rest of the graphics appear to be stickers (including, disappointingly, the Gringotts Bank engraving above the door – Gringot ts, anyone?), while none of the official photos provided in advance reveal what’s inside the vaults. The set description promises a ‘surprise’ in Bellatrix’s vault, though – a new Helga Hufflepuff cup, perhaps? – and we’d love to see a brand new element for the Philosopher’s Stone. The classic red gem just doesn’t really cut it.

76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition minifigures

76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition includes 13 minifigures, which together span two different movies: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. A young Harry, Hagrid and Griphook are present and correct to retrieve the Philosopher’s Stone from vault 713, while older Harry, Ron and Hermione are included to break into the bank to steal one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.

That means you’re actually getting Ron and Hermione as Dragomir Despard and Bellatrix Lestrange, with reversible faces to reveal their true identities (after plunging through the Thief’s Downfall waterfall, which washes away their disguises). The line-up is rounded out by Bogrod, Ricbert, two goblin bankers, two guards and a Death Eater.

76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Diagon Alley compatibility

Don’t let those multiple levels put you off: 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition is actually fully compatible with 75978 Diagon Alley. The bank itself sits on a classic 32×32 baseplate, matching the depth of the 16×32 baseplates in the 2020 set, and can be lifted off its pillar of underground vaults and displayed alongside Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts and so on.

Depending on your available shelf space, you can either slot Gringotts in horizontally between the other four buildings, or – to be a little more movie-accurate – place Diagon Alley’s shops facing one another, with Gringotts at the end of the street.

76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition launches September 1 for VIP members and September 4 for everyone else. Look out for our review before then.
