Hogwarts is reopening this year, and in a form that will delight every fan of LEGO bricks and the wizarding world of Harry Potter. A new wave of building sets brings back iconic scenes, characters and places that you know well from the films and books, but this time you can literally hold them in your own hands. From the dark alleys of the Hogwarts to the majestic Hogwarts Castle, each set offers its own story that you can replay or completely rewrite. And that's the magic of the entire new collection - it's not just about displaying on a shelf, but about returning to a world where imagination knows no bounds. So let's take a closer look at the new sets.
Hogwarts Castle: East Wing
A new set from the wizarding world of Harry Potter takes modular Hogwarts building to the next level. LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle: The East Tower specifically brings a detailed part of the iconic castle, aimed mainly at fans who want to have a piece of the movie atmosphere at home, literally made of bricks.
But inside, it's not just about displaying on a shelf. The model opens the door to familiar scenes, from the restricted library to the journey from the washroom straight to the Chamber of Secrets. There's also a fight with the basilisk, one of those moments that every fan will immediately remember.
The kit also includes a strong cast of characters, specifically 13 minifigures complete with other magical elements including the Patronus in the form of a doe or the phoenix Fawkes. An interesting detail is also the possibility of finding collectible Hogwarts portraits, which add another layer of playfulness to the whole set.
Thanks to the detachable parts, the model can also be worked with well while playing, not just when displaying. And if more people start building at the same time, the LEGO Builder application also has a mode for joint construction, where everyone takes their own part. A total of 2,164 pieces make it clear that this is not a quick one-afternoon affair, but rather a long journey into the world of magic, which has something to offer even to more experienced builders. The price of this set is set at 6099 CZK.

Coat of arms of the Hogwarts houses
Another piece from the wizarding world, this time aimed more at fans who like Hogwarts symbolism in one distinctive model. The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts House Crest combines all four houses into a single collectible decoration that demands a place on the shelf.
At first glance, it's a striking crest complete with the animal symbols of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, but the real secret is hidden inside. Each emblem hides a small secret compartment containing iconic objects from the films - from Gryffindor's sword to Slytherin's locket.
The entire model stands on a base with the Hogwarts motto, making it look more like a display artifact than a classic building kit. This is what makes it a piece that aims not only for play, but also for collector's effect.
The building is then complemented by classic support in the LEGO Builder application, where you can rotate the model in 3D and gradually watch how the individual parts of the coat of arms are created. A total of 545 pieces then form a more compact, but still quite impressive building kit, which is ideal as a smaller entry into the LEGO Harry Potter world, or as an addition to a larger collection. For the price of 1199 CZK, it is definitely a good choice.

Plants from the Herbology class at Hogwarts
The next stop at Hogwarts is this time for a slightly less “romantic” part of the lesson – a herbology lesson. LEGO Harry Potter Herbology Class Plants not only brings classic magic, but also a really lively (and sometimes quite loud) trio magicplants.
The dominant feature of the entire kit is, of course, the mandrake, which literally "comes to life" just as we know it from the movies - it shakes, opens its mouth and seems as if it could let out its famous scream at any moment. And honestly, who wouldn't want to try this at home, ideally with earplugs on. But there is also a toothed geranium that reacts to movement, and a Mimbulus mimbletonia that starts to visibly tremble when you turn the knob. The whole thing looks more like a small interactive "greenhouse" from Hogwarts than a classic building kit for display.
This playfulness is key here. You can modify the model in various ways, combine details and create your own version of a magical classroom that lives a life of its own. With 817 pieces, this is a kit that offers a solid portion of building, but at the same time remains playful enough for younger fans of the Harry Potter world to enjoy. However, the price of this set is set relatively high - specifically at 2399 CZK.

Norbert: Hagrid's baby dragon
Another new addition to the wizarding world, this time it revolves around one of the cutest yet most dangerous creatures from Hogwarts. LEGO Harry Potter Norbert Hagrid's Baby Dragon features the first-ever scale rendition of Hagrid's baby dragon, perfect for display and play.
The model captures the iconic moment when Norbert is just hatching from the egg, but you can also rebuild it into the form of an already hatched dragon. This is exactly variaThe versatility gives the kit a dual character – once it is a scene straight from the film, the second time it is a separate display piece for the room.
The dragon is designed as a movable model, so you can play with the positioning of the head, legs and wings to create your own "living" version of Norbert, just the way you want it. The result is a kit that works just as well for play as it does on a shelf.
The whole thing is also beautifully complemented by the well-known moment from the story, when Hagrid's fascination with dragons grows into a small problem that fans remember to this day. But here, instead of chaos, creativity and the opportunity to play this moment in your own way are the solutions. With 482 pieces, it is a rather compact kit, but thanks to the distinctive dragon motif, it makes a much bigger impression on a table or shelf than the numbers would suggest. The price is set at 1199 CZK.

Magic shops on Obrtla Street
The next stop in the wizarding world is heading to the darker part of Diagon Alley, where magic is definitely not only for good. LEGO Harry Potter Knockturn Alley Wizarding Shops opens the door to Knockturn Alley, which is full of mysterious shops and artifacts, often with a rather dubious history.
Borgin & Burkes is the main store, featuring iconic items like the melting cupboard and the cursed opal necklace. The entire scene is brought to life with details like the air taxi net and the Hand of Glory, which fans know from Chamber of Secrets.
Alongside the darker shop, there is also a contrast in the form of Madam Potage, where instead of artifacts, cauldrons and potion mixing are dealt with. It is this mix of atmospheres that makes the set more than just another part of the street - it feels like a living corner of the wizarding world.
A big advantage is the possibility of connecting with other sets from Diagon Alley, so you can gradually build the entire complex and expand it according to your own ideas. And this is exactly where LEGO shows that the individual building kits are not just isolated models, but part of a larger whole. There are also 8 minifigures that give space for playing out scenes and inventing your own stories, complemented by a collectible Patronus in the form of a dog for the 25th anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter. For the price of 2399 CZK, it is certainly an interesting set.

Single elf Dobby
Dobby is one of the most popular Harry Potter characters, and LEGO has gone beyond a static display figure. The LEGO Harry Potter Dobby the House-Elf is a poseable model that can be posed in a variety of positions, from sitting to walking, making it much more lifelike than the classic figurines.
There are also small accessories referencing famous movie scenes, such as Tom Riddle's diary with a sock and potions that fans will instantly recognize. Added to this is the ability to rebuild into Kreacher, so the set offers two different forms of one character.
With 379 pieces, it's a smaller kit, but the main thing here isn't the size, but the character and its strong story link. The price of 829 CZK makes this set a truly affordable piece for everyone.

Bookend: Dumbledore's Office
This building set is one of those that is not only for playing, but also for clever display in the library. LEGO Harry Potter Dumbledore's Office The Book Nook functions as a bookend, so at first glance it fits between books, but when opened, it transforms into a detailed scene from Dumbledore's office.
Inside, iconic elements such as the Sorting Hat, the Sorting Hat and Dumbledore's desk appear, complete with a hidden drawer containing the Gryffindor Sword. The whole thing feels like a small wizarding room that you can "open" at any time and return to familiar movie moments.
Also included are minifigures of Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore, supplemented by Fawkes and other collectible elements that further expand the possibilities of display and play. And it is the combination of the library and the scene from Hogwarts that makes this set something a little different from a classic building kit. With 1,182 pieces, it is a really robust model that will take time and patience, but the result is a piece that can function both as a decoration and a full-fledged scene from the world of Harry Potter. The price is set at 2949 CZK.

Forbidden Forest: Expecto Patronum
LEGO Harry Potter Forbidden Forest: Expecto Patronum features the moment when Harry Potter summons a Patronus to protect himself and Siriuse Black before dementors.
The entire scene is set in the Forbidden Forest, where you can manipulate tree branches to create your own version of the tense situation. There's also a pair of dementors, who are confronted by a stag-shaped Patronus - one of the most important moments of the entire series.
Also included are miniHarry figures and Siriuse Black, whose facial expressions can be changed, which further emphasizes the atmosphere of the whole scene. It is these small details that make the model something more than just a static diorama. With 244 pieces, it is a smaller kit, but thanks to a strong cinematic moment and significant gameplay, it has a surprisingly big impact. The price is a pleasant 709 CZK.
