Review : LEGO Harry Potter 76441 Hogwarts Castle: Dueling Club

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.
