Overview

  • The set, which LEGO revealed Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026, will open for Insiders pre-orders on Aug. 29 and begin general shipping on Sept. 1, 2026.
  • The three-level model recreates London street level, the Ministry's entrance hall, and the Hall of Prophecy with 3,491 pieces and roughly 14 minifigures plus a Lynx Patronus.
  • Design features include interactive functions to reenact the Order of the Phoenix scene, such as toppleable prophecy shelves and a toilet-and-lever drop that sends minifigures into a fireplace below.
  • LEGO lists the kit at about $449.99 in the U.S. and £389.99 in the U.K., a price that has prompted debate among fans about value versus piece count for collectors' editions.
  • The release continues LEGO's recent trend of large, display-focused Harry Potter builds and arrives as the franchise marks 25 years and prepares for a new HBO adaptation.
