NEWS FOR JUNE 2025 ON THE LEGO SHOP >>

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.

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.

Today we quickly take a look at the contents of the LEGO Harry Potter set 76447 Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons, a box of 651 pieces available since January 1, 2025 at the public price of €79,99.

As you already know, this product is a new extension of the umpteenth reboot of Hogwarts in a LEGO playset version and the manufacturer even promises us that the construction composed of modules already marketed and to come will be "the most detailed produced to date". It will of course be necessary to go back to the checkout multiple times to be able to afford all the walls and scenes to integrate into the promised diorama.

For this time, we therefore obtain a section of Hogwarts Castle which contains the Quidditch equipment room, the Transfiguration classroom, Professor McGonagall's office and the trophy room. The compact tower which makes you wonder where our €80 is can be deployed to have fun with it, but even spread out in its entirety, the construction with its basic finish struggles a little to justify its price.

We will especially remember the "modular" side of the thing with the possibility of removing two interior sections to replace them with something else like for example the classroom of the spells course of the set 76442 Hogwarts Castle: Charms Class (€19,99). It's a good idea, even if you have to choose between the modules, and this feature allows LEGO to multiply the small boxes at €20 while still having the alibi of being able to really integrate them into the overall diorama.

For the rest, the set is still very basic and only the most assiduous fans will see it as a playset that allows you to replay a Quidditch lesson. Many fans have the ambition to collect the entirety of this new version of the playset inaugurated by the reference 76435 Hogwarts Castle: The Great Hall (€199,99) with the aim of obtaining an imposing exhibition model on a minifig scale, we don't know how many will still be motivated at the end of the project knowing that LEGO will not fail to reboot the concept once again. At this stage, you must already acquire the products below to start obtaining the complete diorama:

We will console ourselves for this time with McGonagall's micro-office, the "room" grouping together the equipment necessary for learning Quidditch, the class of the Transfiguration course with its really very basic benches as well as a "room" of particularly symbolic trophies. For those who are interested, the collection of 14 portraits in the form of Tiles Collectible pad printed continues in 2025 with two copies delivered in this box.

Everything is here summarized in its simplest expression, it had to fit in the tower. Those who will exhibit the product without ever touching it again will have on hand some transparent rods to put the students in flight position, it's always something. At this stage we cannot speak of real playability, the proposal will not exceed two minutes to make the students fly on next to their respective brooms.

In short, nothing to get up at night if you take this product out of context. As part of the overall project to obtain "the most detailed version to date" of Hogwarts, the tower is not essential, it is not designed to be connected to the rest. Unless LEGO one day comes up with a Quidditch pitch to place between the buildings.

On the minifig side, the set is a bit shy here even if we get a nice version of Madam Hooch (Bibine) with a very successful double face. McGonagall lacks pad printing on the skirt, Oliver Wood (Dubois) is frankly generic despite an unpublished torso but so banal that we will probably find him elsewhere until we are thirsty.

The three students logically in first year version with short and fixed legs, (Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom and Draco Malfoy) are equipped with pieces already seen many times in the Harry Potter range. We feel once again the desire to limit costs with neutral legs for everyone.

It is obvious here that LEGO is once again capitalizing on the collection effect linked to the possibility of one day obtaining a big luxury playset for spoiled children, there is little effort on some of the dissociated elements of the range and whatever the level of the proposal, it will be necessary with it if we really want to complete the diorama. This relative trapping of fans will be perceived differently depending on the degree of affinity with the license, the most assiduous will be as always the most indulgent.

LEGO has also flooded the Amazon Testers Club with free products to ensure a positive rating and boost sales of this box that is too expensive for what it really has to offer, so we need to keep the pressure on everyone who is on their way to the full diorama, even with the least charismatic products. In any case, we will at least wait to be able to buy this box for much less than its retail price elsewhere than at LEGO.

Today we take a very quick look at the contents of the LEGO Harry Potter set. 76443 Hagrid & Harry's Motorcycle Ride, a box of 617 pieces available from LEGO since January 1, 2025 at the public price of €49,99 and logically sold for a little less elsewhere.

I might as well tell you right away, I'm not very enthusiastic about this proposal, even if I welcome the risk-taking, the exercise being complicated. The scale of the whole is a priori determined by the wheels of the motorcycle and the designer tried to build the rest while respecting the proportions of the two characters staged here.

Why not, except that the faces of Hagrid and Harry Potter suffer precisely from the imposed scale and are reduced in one case to a pile of pieces which struggle to embody Hagrid's face and in the other to a simple pad-printed piece which should in principle embody Harry Potter's face.

In both cases, I think it's far too symbolic or confusing to convince. The bias in the construction of Hagrid's head could possibly pass for an exercise in artistic style that everyone would be free to appreciate, but Harry Potter's face is so minimalistic that it detracts from the overall appearance of the product.

On the pad printing side, LEGO could have taken the trouble to pad print the outline of Hagrid's glasses, just to limit the damage and to embellish a face that lacks a little personality and Harry has no mouth. It was almost enough for the young student's face to be more detailed to make the pill easier to swallow.

For the rest, the bike is convincing with its product look that could come from the LEGO Creator universe and the machine offers a few entertaining minutes during its construction. The most assiduous fans may find in this set an exhibition product that pays homage to the saga, but we feel the wringing of the Harry Potter universe until thirst is no longer there, even if it means taking risks by dealing with a franchise in which vehicles, one of the chestnuts of LEGO production, are not legion.

This product stands out at least for its originality, it is already almost an achievement for a range that is starting to go round in circles on the same subjects and we cannot blame LEGO for its desire to renew itself and to try to seduce with new and sometimes surprising proposals outside the classics that must be kept in the catalog like Hogwarts or Diagon Alley.

Was it really necessary to stage Hagrid and Harry in this way with an approach that was both a bit crude but also minimalist? Nothing is less certain. LEGO obviously knew that the product was likely to have trouble finding its audience, the manufacturer for example flooded the "Testers Club"Amazon free boxes to ensure a wave of positive comments and a convincing rating.

If you like this set, patience should allow you to get it at a very competitive price in the coming months. It will inevitably end up in clearance somewhere, that's the fate of these boxes with divisive content that only attract a fraction of the usual clientele, no matter how passionate they are about the universe in question.
