Predicting the LEGO Harry Potter summer 2024 wave

Price tags and piece counts for seven rumoured LEGO Harry Potter summer 2024 sets have landed online – but what could they be?

The Wizarding World theme continues apace in 2024, with a first batch of sets due to arrive on shelves in March. Among those are the first seeds of a new modular Hogwarts system, a standalone flying Ford Anglia, a refreshed Hagrid’s Hut and yet another buildable Hedwig. But the rumour mill says another seven models are on the way as soon as June – ranging from $19.99 all the way up to $139.99.

With one eye on what’s currently on shelves, what’s right around the corner for LEGO Harry Potter and what’s still missing from the now-evergreen theme, here are our best guesses for what could fill those mystery product numbers this summer…

76427

Price: $59.99 Piece count: 723

This mid-range set could really be anything, but our money is on another addition to the new Hogwarts system. Things have started off pretty niche with 76426 Hogwarts Castle Boathouse and 76430 Hogwarts Castle Owlery, so maybe something a little more obvious would fit the bill here: the Entrance Hall to connect to the boathouse, for example.

A Great Hall is still available in 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets (even if it doesn’t directly connect to this new format), so it’s difficult to see the LEGO Group revisiting that location already. And both new sets tackle locations unseen throughout either of the previous two modular LEGO Hogwarts systems, so the Entrance Hall would follow that pattern.

76431

Price: $39.99 Piece count: 397

Animals are clearly a key selling point for the LEGO Harry Potter theme, as the March wave taps into the magical menagerie between four different sets: 76425 Hedwig at 4 Privet Drive76428 Hagrid’s Hut: An Unexpected Visit, 76430 Hogwarts Castle Owlery and 76432 Forbidden Forest: Magical Creatures. At least one summer 2024 set seems likely to keep that theme going, and the $40 price point could suffice for one of two options.

The first (and perhaps most possible) would be a revamped version of 75950 Aragog’s Lair, the last LEGO Harry Potter set to tackle the fearsome acromantula. That diminutive model only came in at $14.99 for 157 pieces, but giving Aragog the same attention as her Middle-earth cousin in 9470 Shelob Attacks – then sprinkling in some more of the Forbidden Forest – could justify the price tag. We’ll have a Ford Anglia on shelves by that point, too.

The second option for a creature feature would be a long-overdue remake of 2002’s 4712 Troll on the Loose, but that one would probably depend on how many new elements the LEGO Harry Potter theme has up its sleeve for 2024. Still, you never know…

76433

Price: $69.99 Piece count: 579

The LEGO Harry Potter team finally revisited the second Triwizard Tournament task in 2023 with 76420 Triwizard Tournament: The Black Lake. But it’s never tackled the third and final task, that being the maze that leads Harry and Cedric to Voldemort. 2024 could be just the right time. The ‘Triwizard Tournament’ prefix of last year’s set paves the way for a new addition, for one thing.

If we do get a LEGO Harry Potter maze set in 2024, it wouldn’t need to be massive: a few hedges, a couple of enemies to bump into – the sphinx would be cool, if we’re looking at the books rather than the movies – and a handful of minifigures would do just fine, and that could all easily fit into 579 pieces. Or this could be a microscale model of the entire maze, but that probably wouldn’t go down as well.

76434

Price: $19.99 Piece count: 195

The smallest set in the LEGO Harry Potter summer wave is something of a wildcard, but there are a couple of possibilities. The LEGO Group has gone full throttle on Deathly Hallows sets over the past couple of years, and one of the final icons from the last two films to tick off is the TARDIS-like tent our heroes camp out in. A small front that opens into a bigger interior could be achievable within 195 pieces.

That set might also be embellished by a Patronus, though, which would surely bump up the price. So another option might be a smaller segment of Hogwarts – a classroom, perhaps, calling back to the original 2000s Harry Potter sets that devoted entire sets to individual classrooms in the Wizarding World school. Otherwise, your guess is as good as ours.

76435

Price: $119.99 Piece count: 1,732

Most LEGO Harry Potter waves these days tend to include at least one experimental set or display model, and the price-per-piece ratio in 76435 marks it out as a likely candidate for just such a set. $119.99 for 1,732 pieces feels like a bargain, so we’re not expecting many (if any) minifigures here. Credible possibilities could be a large-scale Knight Bus, as was rumoured last year – you could see it being tackled with mostly basic bricks – or a buildable object.

The latter could be to 76391 Hogwarts Icons Collectors’ Edition what 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds is to 71043 Hogwarts Castle: a more affordable, but still detailed, approach to the same concept. We’re getting a kid-friendly, pocket-money version of 76391 in 76425 Hedwig at 4 Privet Drive, but 76435 could be an 18+ set anchored around just one or two magical icons. (A $120 pair of specs is probably not it.)

76439

Price: $89.99 Piece count: 744

The LEGO Group launched what felt like the beginnings of a new subtheme in summer 2023 with 76422 Diagon Alley: Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, offering a more affordable path to collecting iconic Wizarding World locations than the mega (and mega-expensive) 75978 Diagon Alley. The prefix on its product name suggests more buildings will follow at this smaller, play-friendly scale.

If the next entry in that possible series is nestled among the summer 2024 sets, what better space to occupy than 76439? It matches the RRP of Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, after all, so would come in at a roughly similar size. The LEGO Group started strong with the magical shopping street’s most iconic and colourful store, but there are plenty still to go – from Ollivanders and Gringotts to Quality Quidditch Supplies and Flourish & Blotts.

76440

Price: $139.99 Piece count: 1,299

For the largest set in the LEGO Harry Potter summer 2024 wave, we’re staking our bets on one of two different options: one that was last tackled in the original Potter theme, and one that the LEGO Group has never attempted. The former is the Durmstrang ship, which has felt like low-hanging fruit ever since 2019’s 75958 Beauxbatons’ Carriage: Arrival at Hogwarts (seriously, where is it already?!).

The latter is potentially a little more interesting, and it’s one we’ve plucked from three different credible options for Deathly Hallows location-based sets. Shell Cottage and Xenophilius Lovegood’s house are both waiting on LEGO iterations, but it’s Malfoy Manor that takes the cake for us, not least because it’s the one most obviously geared towards conflict play.

Nearly 1,300 pieces would be more than enough to do the house justice as a façade, with ample room to include a basement level to boot.

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.
