LEGO Harry Potter make-and-take event coming to LEGO Stores

A magical make-and-take event is coming to LEGO Stores next month, giving budding wizards and witches the chance to build and take home their own LEGO Harry Potter wand.

Presumably to celebrate the launch of the new LEGO Harry Potter 18+ set 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition, the LEGO Group is giving kids and adults alike the chance to put together a free brick-built wand in September. The make-and-take event is currently slated to take place in the UK and Europe, but no dates or times are listed for stores in the US.

You’ll be able to pick up your wand during specific hours across September 1, 2 and 3, marking the start of the new school year in the Wizarding World. Check out the table below for a full breakdown of event times across LEGO Stores in the UK and Europe.

LEGO Store location	Date	Time
	September 1	12pm to 2pm
	September 2	10am to 12pm
	September 3	12pm to 2pm
	September 1	1pm to 3pm
	September 2	1pm to 3pm

The usual small print applies to this make-and-take event: models cannot be purchased, are available on a first-come, first-served basis during the event times, and are limited to one per person. The wand itself looks like a basic stack of 2×2 round bricks, 4×4 cones and 4×4 round bricks, presumably with an axle or two running through it, so shouldn’t be too difficult to recreate at home if you can’t make the event.

The most recent make-and-take event was hooked to the launch of LEGO DREAMZzz, with a mini model of 71456 Mrs. Castillo’s Turtle Van given away at the beginning of August.

76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition launches for VIP members on September 1 – and for everyone else on September 4 – and will retail for £369.99 / $429.99 / €429.99.
