The Best LEGO Harry Potter Sets for Fans of the Franchise

Although not a connected part of the new castle, the Owlery shares the same color scheme of the new designs. It comes with multiple owl figures, and it has a winter theme, with snow capping the windowsills and spires. It comes with two Minifigures – one of Harry Potter and one of Cho Chang.

We built this set at its launch – a massive build that will crucially anchor the new modular Hogwarts Castle. The Great Hall sits on a rocky cliff, and the LEGO designers used this extra space to add in a girl's bathroom (massive troll included!) and a Hufflepuff common room at the base of the build.

The Boathouse is a small but important location in Potter lore. It's where Harry first arrives at Hogwarts in Sorcerer's Stone, and it's where an important character dies a violent death in Deathly Hallows. The LEGO Boathouse connects directly to the LEGO Great Hall via a narrow, rocky pathway.

A facsimile of Snape's dungeon, the Potions Class has rails on its sides, which allows it to "slot" into the Great Hall as an additional classroom. In addition to Hermione and Professor Snape, the set also includes minifigures for Seamus Finnigan and Pansy Parkinson, which is nice for anyone who wants to diversify their Hogwarts roster.

Another addition to the new modular Hogwarts Castle, this slot-in classroom allows you to recreate the 'Wingardium Leviosa' scene from Sorcerer's Stone. It also includes a rarely seen Filius Flitwick minifigure. If you're trying to collect all of the Hogwarts teachers, this is a must-have set.

Another part of the eventual modular Hogwarts Castle, this set recreates the dueling club scene from Chamber of Secrets. The platform is gimmicked so that if you push the stairs on either side, the minifigure perched opposite will go flying.

A part of the modular Hogwarts Castle, Flying Lessons captures the moment Draco and Harry fought over Neville's Remembrall during their first year. The surrounding buildings include the Quidditch Trophy Room, the Transfiguration Classroom, and Professor McGonagall's office.

The new Hagrid's Hut is an upgrade over its predecessor; it sports more detail and a darker color scheme than the prior Hogwarts Castle sets. It's a fully enclosed set on all sides. and it comes with a separate doghouse for Fang.

The Sorting Hat is the first LEGO set of its kind and we reviewed it when it first came out. It includes a "sound brick," and if you place the Hat on your head, it will utter 1 of 31 pre-planned phrases and sort you into Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin.

We reviewed the Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set when it first came out an were thoroughly impressed. You could buy a bigger, 5500+-piece LEGO Hogwarts Castle with several fully realized interiors. But this smaller, prettier build will suit most Potter fans for a fraction of the price. While it isn't part of the LEGO Architecture line, it's defintely worth building and displaying in the same way.

This micro depiction of Diagon Alley pairs well with the Hogwarts Castle and Grounds we feature above, and it is of similar scale, detail, and scope. The buildings include Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor, Ollivanders, Mr. Mulpepper’s Apothecary, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the Leaky Cauldron, and The Daily Prophet. The set also comes with 12 microfigures, including the classic trio.

We reviewed this set at launch and were impressed by both the level of detail and the scale. This 5-story building, which uses some clever techniques to tilt at an angle, is a completionist's dream. Befitting the Weasley home, this set includes minifigures for all nine family members including Charlie, who was in the books but never made it into the movies.

This recreation of Hedwig is so accurate that it could qualify as an Owl build by itself – no creative license required. But the other life-sized, Potter-explicit artifacts make this set a must-have, and include Harry's glasses, a Golden Snitch, a chocolate frog, and a customizable letter from Hogwarts.

A two-tiered build, the LEGO Gringotts Wizarding Bank has both the public-facing foyer, with its columns, Goblin employees, and massive chandelier, as well as an underground vault system, which you can explore with a minecart on a spiraling track. If you already have the Diagon Alley set, this fifth building is the perfect, accompanying centerpiece.

LEGO's modular building line is one of its most popular, and these Diagon Alley magical buildings, which compose the Wizarding World's shopping center, fit right in. LEGO Diagon Alley includes: Ollivander's Wand Shop, Scribbulus Writing Implements, Quality Quidditch Supplies, Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, Flourish & Blotts, Weasleys Wizard Wheezes, and the Daily Prophet. The building facades and interiors match those from the movie and come loaded with obscure references. Especially impressive is Ollivander's, which has a suitably dusty, disheveled appearance.

How Many Harry Potter LEGO Sets Are There?

As of April 2025, 39 Harry Potter sets are available at the LEGO store, capturing moments and locations from across the entire movie franchise. LEGO recently released the LEGO Knight Bus Adventure set as part of its March 2025 new LEGO releases.

Harry Potter is still incredibly popular, even if it's not as much of a cultural phenomenon as it was in its heyday; nowadays, it's more of an institution. And of course, there's the inevitable backlash – some of it the naturally-occurring type when something becomes this popular – and some of it self-wrought, by the author's rhetoric. Where you fall on that debate, and whether you separate art from the artist, is a personal decision. But if you do, there's a lot of LEGO sets that you might want to check out. And now, you know what they are.
