Get ready to dive into the magical world of Harry Potter LEGO sets, because the upcoming HBO series is about to reignite the fandom like never before! But here's the real question: which sets are truly worth the hype for die-hard fans? With the Wizarding World expanding, LEGO enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting new designs inspired by the series. But before we look ahead, let’s revisit the 10 best Harry Potter LEGO sets that every fan should already have in their collection—and trust us, some of these might surprise you.
First up, the Knight Bus Adventure (499 pieces, $49.99). While it’s been reimagined multiple times, the 2025 version is a game-changer. Its sleek design, smooth bricks, and rounded back make it the most display-worthy model yet. Plus, the minifigures—Harry, Stan Shunpike, Ernie, a sleeping witch, and Padfoot—are incredibly detailed. But here’s where it gets controversial: is it worth buying if you already own an older version? We say yes, especially for its aesthetic upgrades and nostalgic value.
Next, Hagrid and Harry’s Motorcycle Ride (617 pieces, $49.99) isn’t just a display piece—it’s a tribute to a pivotal moment in The Deathly Hallows. The fully articulated brick-built characters and included Hedwig make it a must-have, though it might tug at your heartstrings. And this is the part most people miss: it’s perfect for fans who want a LEGO set that tells a story without focusing on minifigures.
For creature lovers, Buckbeak (723 pieces, $59.99) is a no-brainer. This posable Hippogriff is instantly recognizable and makes for a stunning display. However, its $60 price tag and lack of compatible figures for play might make some fans hesitate. But here’s the kicker: despite its drawbacks, it’s arguably the most iconic magical creature in the series outside of Hedwig.
Quidditch fans, rejoice! The Quidditch Trunk (599 pieces, $67.99) is a masterpiece. It transforms from a trunk into a mini Quidditch pitch, complete with customizable minifigures. But here’s the debate: is it worth the price for a set that’s more display than play? We think its creativity and attention to detail make it a winner.
Bookworms, the Hogwarts Express Book Nook (832 pieces, $99.99) is calling your name. This charming microbuild doubles as a bookshelf and captures the magic of Platform Nine and Three Quarters. And this is the part most people miss: it can be split into two bookends, adding functionality to its nostalgic appeal.
For the ultimate collector, the Diagon Alley Wizard Shops (2,750 pieces, $199.99) is a dream come true. While it’s not minifigure-scale, its microbuild shops—including Gringotts and Ollivander’s—evoke the chaotic charm of Diagon Alley. But here’s the question: is it worth the investment if you already own individual shop sets? We say yes, for its cohesive design and immersive vibe.
The Burrow Collectors' Edition (2,405 pieces, $259.99) is a masterpiece. Standing nearly two feet tall, it’s the most detailed recreation of the Weasleys’ home yet, complete with easter eggs like the flu chimney. But here’s the controversy: is it too expensive for a set that’s primarily a display piece? For Ron fans, it’s a must-buy.
If subtlety is your style, the Hogwarts Icons Collectors' Edition ($300) is perfect. This collection of Harry’s trinkets—from his wand to Hedwig—is a beautiful tribute. And this is the part most people miss: the included potions and Famous Witches and Wizards cards add depth to the display.
Train enthusiasts, the Hogwarts Express Collectors' Edition (5,129 pieces, $499.99) is the ultimate set. With 20 minifigures and scenes from all eight films, it’s a cinematic masterpiece. But here’s the debate: is it worth the high price tag? For its scale and detail, we say absolutely.
Finally, the Hogwarts Castle (6,020 pieces, $499.99) is the crown jewel. Its open-back design lets you explore iconic locations, and its grandeur is unmatched. But here’s the question: is it worth the space and cost? For fans who want the ultimate LEGO Harry Potter experience, it’s a resounding yes.
So, which set will you add to your collection? And which one do you think deserves a spot on this list that we might have missed? Let us know in the comments—we’re ready to debate!
