Review : LEGO Harry Potter 76460 Hogwarts Castle: Sorting Hat Ceremony

Today we take a very quick look at the contents of the LEGO Harry Potter set. 76460 Hogwarts Castle: Sorting Hat Ceremony, a small box of 124 pieces available since January 1, 2026 at the public price of €14,99.

The product title is clear: this is a new module for the Hogwarts reboot with grey roofs, initiated in 2024, featuring a Sorting Hat ceremony intended for installation in the already very crowded Great Hall of the set. 76435 Hogwarts Castle: The Great Hall (€199,99). The product's mission therefore defines its scale and level of finish, and we thus obtain here some simplistic constructions associated with a wheel intended to bring a little playability to the whole.

The wheel is flanked by four coats of arms pad-printed on Tiles already seen in 2024 in the set 76438 Harry Potter Advent Calendar 2024As for the rest, we get some furniture that matches that of the Great Hall. No stickers in this box.

LEGO could have chosen to include characters other than Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Draco Malfoy in this set, just for a change. Instead, we'll have to make do with the three minifigures that reuse the classic crestless torso available since 2021, and logically, three of them are included here.

Only Draco Malfoy gets a brand-new head; Harry and Hermione reuse elements that have been available for several years within the LEGO Harry Potter range: Hermione's head dates back to 2018, and Harry Potter's to 2024, which was originally included in the set. 76429 Talking Sorting Hat (99,99 €).

Minerva McGonagall is identical here to the version available in the set since 2025 76447 Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons (€79,99) with its hat as well as in the set 76457 Hogsmeade Village (€379,99) but without the accessory.

This is far from the most polished version of the character from LEGO; for example, we got a better one in the 2021 set. 76382 Hogwarts Moment: Transfiguration Class or in 2024 in the set 76426 Hogwarts Castle Boathouse (€37.99). The character is accompanied here by his Cat Patronus, a figurine that is still as opaque and less successful than the one in the set. 76403 The Ministry of Magic (2022)

In short, for around fifteen euros, this little product will enhance the overall Hogwarts diorama currently being built by LEGO, with the added bonus of some playability that should allow younger children to have a bit of fun. That's already quite good for a set without great ambitions, which also allows you to obtain a new Patronus celebrating the 25th anniversary of the LEGO Harry Potter range, as well as the four pretty... Tiles pad printed.
