LEGO Harry Potter summer 2024 rumours prove everything will be remade eventually

If there’s one thing the latest LEGO Harry Potter summer 2024 rumours tell us, it’s that everything will be remade eventually: it’s just a matter of time.

Reports emerged in January that the Wizarding World theme would finally be revisiting the Durmstrang ship – last seen in 2005 – in this summer’s line-up. But new details from Polish LEGO fan site Fanklockow now suggest that the LEGO Group will also be tackling 2002’s 4712 Troll on the Loose in a roundabout way, including a cave troll, bathroom and Professor Quirrell in 76435 Hogwarts: Great Hall.

That means two of the eight remaining LEGO Harry Potter sets that have never been remade will be ticked off the list, leaving just six sets from the theme’s original run to be revisited at some stage. And if the presence of a cave troll tells us anything, it’s that those remakes will come to pass one way or another. We just need to have a little patience.

The Wizarding World theme is now in its seventh year back on shelves after returning in 2018, so it’s taken the LEGO Group quite a while to turn its attentions back to the Durmstrang ship and the Philosopher’s Stone’s cave troll. But these aren’t the only remakes of relatively obscure sets from the theme’s first run in recent years: 2023 saw the team revisit 2005’s 4762 Rescue from the Merpeople in 76420 Triwizard Tournament: The Black Lake, for example.

It's no surprise that the LEGO Harry Potter theme continues to trade on past glories, because the entire line-up only has eight movies to pull from. It’s why we’re now entering our third modular Hogwarts system since the theme returned, and why if the LEGO Group wants to continue to keep things (relatively) fresh, it’s going to need to tackle at least some of those six remaining sets that still need remakes: 4701 Sorting Hat, 4704 The Room of the Winged Keys, 4733 The Dueling Club, 4735 Slytherin, 4751 Harry and the Marauder’s Map and 4752 Professor Lupin’s Classroom.

Of those, 4701 Sorting Hat has technically seen a quasi-remake in a Build Your Own Adventure book, while we can easily see most of the rest slotting into what the LEGO Group is promising will be ‘the most detailed Hogwarts ever’. The first details on 76435 Hogwarts: Great Hall and 76431 Hogwarts Castle: Potions Class point to a larger and more magnified view of the school of witchcraft and wizardry, devoting far more space and pieces to areas that were condensed for the 2021-2023 system.

With that in mind, we wouldn’t be surprised to see an entire set dedicated to – for example – Slytherin common room, or Professor Lupin’s classroom. Potions class is apparently getting a dedicated 397-piece set, after all – and 4752 Professor Lupin’s Classroom included just 156 pieces in 2004. (Twenty years of design improvements will probably bridge that gap alone.)

The only LEGO Harry Potter set from our original list that would be difficult to imagine being remade is 4751 Harry and the Marauder’s Map, given it depicts such a specific moment within an otherwise generic slice of Hogwarts. We could see the LEGO Group giving it a nod within a wider portion of Hogwarts just to complete its remakes of every original LEGO Harry Potter set, though.

Either way, the bottom line is that if you’re feeling compelled to pick up a classic or retired LEGO Harry Potter set on the aftermarket, you might be better off just playing the waiting game. The LEGO Group has already proven it isn’t afraid of revisiting even recent Wizarding World sets with this year’s 76424 Flying Ford Anglia and 76428 Hagrid’s Hut: An Unexpected Visit, and the summer rumours suggest it’s surely just a matter of time before everything else is remade too.

The one caveat to all this is, of course, the Harry Potter show being developed by HBO for its Max streaming platform. If the LEGO Group has the rights to produce sets based on the show, it could unlock not only new scenes and characters for the LEGO Harry Potter theme – the series is said to go into more detail than the films, covering the books across seven series – but perhaps offer an entirely new aesthetic, too. We’ll have to wait and see what happens with that one.
