Alongside the announcement of the LEGO Harry Potter set 76450 Book Nook: Hogwarts Express, we now have the visuals of the rest of the wave of products planned for June 1, 2025. On the program, including fleshing out the reboot of the Hogwarts playset a little more and completing the Diagon Alley playset or even adding another bird to the collection of animals on bases.
We will also note the arrival of the set 76449 Chomping Monster Book of Monsters which offers a more accomplished construction than the promotional product 30628 The Monster Book of Monsters offered in 2021.

Some of these products are already available for pre-order on the official online store.
LEGO today unveils a new reference in the LEGO Harry Potter range: the set 76450 Book Nook: Hogwarts Express with its 832 pieces, its Harry Potter and Ron Weasley minifigs and its public price set at €99,99. The product will be available from June 1, 2025 and it takes up the principle of the very popular format which features miniature dioramas to be placed between the books stored on the shelves of a library.
As for the LEGO ICONS set 10351 Sherlock Holmes Book Nook, LEGO once again misses the point a little here. While the diorama closes on itself so that it can be installed between two books in a library, the manufacturer nevertheless overlooks one of the major characteristics of the format: the essential lighting that allows the internal arrangements to be highlighted and creates a particular atmosphere within the product.
LEGO simply incorporates a transparent roof over the build, no doubt hoping that light will reach the product's details. I doubt it, and even if it did, the addition of carefully positioned lighting creates an ambiance that natural light simply doesn't.
LEGO does try to create a show by making the build look like a set of bookends, but I find it unconvincing and it's not a Book Nook in the literal sense of the word.

LEGO Harry Potter 76450 Book Nook: Hogwarts Express


It's never too early to spoil the contents of upcoming LEGO Advent calendars, and the manufacturer is doing so this year starting in May with the release of six references expected online on September 1, 2025. You know the drill: lots of micro gadgets of questionable interest and sometimes difficult to recognize, a few new or exclusive figurines, lots of plastic and cardboard, and that's it.

Today we quickly take a look at the contents of the LEGO Harry Potter set 76442 Hogwarts Castle: Charms Class, a small box of 204 pieces available since January 1, 2025 at the public price of €19,99.
You probably already know if you're following, this extension of the new reboot of the Hogwarts playset is designed to fit into the smallest niche of the foundations of the set's construction. 76435 Hogwarts Castle: The Great Hall or in one of the tower levels of the set 76447 Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons.
This is a classroom where the Charms class is taking place in the presence of Professor Filius Flitwick, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The playset is therefore a module that unfolds and closes on itself, and which allows it to be stored in one of the available slots between two play sessions.
The construction is very quickly assembled, it offers no particular challenge and we find in this classroom the bare minimum in terms of furniture and other accessories. Hermione and Ron remain standing behind their desks due to the use of short non-articulated legs, large stickers from a sheet of 10 stickers are responsible for creating the atmosphere of the place and the whole thing is really a little disappointingly simple even if the fans will see the essential to remember from the scene concerned.
LEGO could have treated the subject in the same way as the set 76431 Hogwarts Castle: Potions Class (397 pieces - €39,99) which offers a more substantial content, but the price positioning of this product within the range decided otherwise. It should also be noted that this is a copy of the collection of 14 portraits to collect.
As I said on the occasion of the "Review" relating to the set 76447 Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons, the possibility of inserting these small scenes into the overall Hogwarts playset is a good idea that allows LEGO to multiply the accessible extensions while always having the alibi of being able to integrate them into the overall diorama; unfortunately, at this stage it will be necessary to choose between several of these extensions, the number of available locations being limited while waiting for future constructions equipped with these niches.
Of the three minifigs included, only one is new: Professor Flitwick with his lovely torso. The two students are also included here in versions seen and reviewed in several sets in the range.
This product, which doesn't sparkle creatively, is therefore a simple affordable extension of a more global playset; its retail price positions it as a small gift to offer to a young fan who plans to collect all the sets planned to form the 2025 version of Hogwarts.
At this stage, this luxury playset for spoiled children or adult players is made up of the references below which will be joined from June 2025 by at least two boxes that the latest rumors tell us about:

Today we continue with a very quick tour of the contents of the LEGO Harry Potter set. 76441 Hogwarts Castle: Dueling Club, a small box of 158 pieces which has been available since January 1, 2025 on the official online store at the public price of €24,99.
I didn't think much of this product with its limited inventory and its public price a priori much too high for what the box really has to offer but looking more closely I almost found something to find excuses for LEGO. Well almost, knowing that this product does not allow you to do much as it is without at least associating it with the set 76435 Hogwarts Castle: The Great Hall (€199,99) in which it can be used instead of the usual fittings in the Great Hall.
So here we get a "combat platform" on which the characters provided will be able to fight in a duel. The outcome of the fight is materialized by the possibility of ejecting one of the two minifigs staged via a very simple mechanism. We push and that's it.
And it's meager for €25. Some will happily settle for it, we know that fans of the Harry Potter universe know, like those of Star Wars, how to show indulgence sometimes bordering on bad faith when it comes to liking a product that doesn't necessarily deserve it, I am also one of them on certain products from the LEGO Star Wars range.
We can console ourselves with the absence of stickers in this box, the possibility of obtaining four minifigs and one of the 14 portraits to collect and exchange with your friends.
As for the minifigs provided, LEGO does rather well with two duels to reproduce: Snape against Lockhart and Harry against Draco and his snake. Snape or Snape is delivered here with the torso also available since 2024 in the set 76431 Hogwarts Castle: Potions Class (€39,99) and the legs of Nick Fury or Lucius Malfoy.
The two young students with short legs are in outfits already seen in other boxes and only Gilderoy Lockhart is left to save the day with a nice new torso and a rigid cape that really gives the figurine some character. Bravo to LEGO for the progressive generalization of these pretty capes that are less "cheap" than the flexible fabric versions.
In short, it's hard to see anything here other than what's really there: an extension to the current version of the Hogwarts playset with a bit of playability along the way. The youngest will have a bit of fun ejecting one of the duelists by pushing on the outgrowth provided on the edge of the platform, the others will add Lockhart in their Ribba frames and store the other three characters with their other versions in double or triple.
Fortunately, Amazon has already had time to lower the price of this product, which probably doesn't deserve to be paid at full price for a single, truly unique and attractive minifig.
If you've set out to collect everything related to the new Hogwarts playset reboot, it's hard to ignore it, even if the contents of the set can only temporarily replace the existing installations within the Great Hall and will therefore have a little trouble finding a permanent place in the best.
