The Top Harry Potter LEGO Sets Releasing in 2023 for Fans

The Magic Returns in 2023 with New Harry Potter LEGO Sets

It's an exciting time for Harry Potter fans, as LEGO is releasing new sets based on the beloved book and film series in 2023. From scenes and locations featured in the movies, to newly imagined LEGO interpretations, there is a lot for Potterheads to look forward to building and displaying.

Diagon Alley

A classic location that Harry Potter discovers in the first book/film is Diagon Alley. This busy wizarding marketplace hidden in downtown London is where young wizards buy their first wands, robes, cauldrons and pets before attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Expect LEGO to release new intricately detailed Diagon Alley sets that capture the magic and whimsy of this location.

Hogwarts Castle

What would a Harry Potter LEGO collection be without the famous School of Witchcraft and Wizardry itself? Kids and adult builders alike will be eager to construct new renditions of the ever-changing castle, from classrooms like Potions and Divination to living quarters like the Gryffindor common room and dormitories. Moving staircases, secret passageways and the Great Hall will be must-have locations too.

Forbidden Forest

The dark and mysterious Forbidden Forest on the Hogwarts grounds holds many secrets and magical creatures. New LEGO sets based on scenes from the forest are sure to ignite the imaginations of Harry Potter fans. Expect buildable creatures like Hippogriffs, Centaurs, giant spiders and more. The forest provides plenty of opportunity for adventure and creative play.

Quidditch

Quidditch is the most popular sport in the wizarding world, played while flying on broomsticks. It's a fast-paced game with four balls and six elevated hoops. LEGO is likely to release new Quidditch-themed sets that include the pitch, stands, equipment and microfigures of the players. Kids will have a blast recreating epic Quidditch matches from the books/movies or making up their own magical sporting events.

Triwizard Tournament

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hogwarts hosts the challenging Triwizard Tournament between competing schools. This exciting subplot featuring dragons, merpeople and mazes is ripe for new LEGO sets. Children can build the scenes and use their imaginations to act out the Triwizard Tournament challenges and events. There is a lot of play potential from this storyline.

Minifigures Bring the Magic to Life

In addition to the buildings, creatures and scenes, a big part of the fun with Harry Potter LEGO sets comes from the minifigures. Expect LEGO to include popular recurring characters like Harry, Ron and Hermione in new outfits and poses. Other prominent characters like Hagrid, Dumbledore, Snape and He Who Must Not Be Named are shoo-ins as well. Plus look out for more obscure figures that superfans will appreciate spotting.

Students of Hogwarts

Part of the appeal is building up a collection of the Hogwarts students in their black robes, striped scarves and wizard hats. Main characters like Neville Longbottom and Draco Malfoy are likely to appear. Perhaps LEGO will even diversify the minifigures by creating additional students who aren't featured directly in the stories but could exist in the world of Harry Potter.

Professors & Staff

The teachers and staff at Hogwarts School help make it feel real. Expect minifigures of Professors like McGonagall, Trelawney, Sprout, Flitwick and more, as well as others like groundskeeper Hagrid and Madame Pomfrey, the nurse. The LEGO versions of the professors should accurately reflect their wizarding personalities and costumes.

Magical Creatures

Part of the charm of Harry Potter's world is the menagerie of magical beasts that inhabit it. Lego is likely to include buildable critters like Fawkes the phoenix, Hedwig the owl, Scabbers the rat, Crookshanks the cat, and all manner of reptiles, rodents and arachnids. Obscure background creatures could make fun surprises as well. There's potential for creative buildable beasts that weren't even featured in the books/movies.

Relive the Adventures

Harry Potter fans have an enduring thirst for more adventures in the magical world. While we wait for the new video game Hogwarts Legacy in 2023, the LEGO sets offer additional ways to enjoy the wizarding world. Children and adult builders alike can play out their own stories with minifigures and sets based on recognizable scenes from the books and movies. Part of the appeal is recreating classic moments while also imagining new directions the stories could take. 2023 will surely be a banner year for Harry Potter LEGO releases.
