What New LEGO® Harry Potter Sets Are Coming in January 2026?

January 2026 is shaping up to be absolutely spectacular for Potterheads and brick builders alike. LEGO® is dropping eight new Harry Potter sets on January 1st, celebrating 25 years since the first Wizarding World sets hit shelves back in 2001. This proper anniversary celebration brings something for every type of fan, from budget-friendly playsets to premium collector's pieces.

How Does the 25th Anniversary Change This Wave?

LEGO® isn't holding back for this anniversary celebration. Each set in the January 2026 lineup includes at least one translucent blue Patronus—McGonagall's cat, Lupin's wolf, Hermione's otter, and Luna's hare are all hiding in different boxes. Collecting all these magical guardians adds an extra layer of fun beyond just building the sets themselves.

The price range hits every budget sweet spot. You can grab the Sorting Hat Ceremony for just $14.99 or go all-in with the $169.99 Sorcerer's Stone Collectors' Edition. The mix between play-focused sets and adult display pieces means nobody gets left out of the magic.

What really stands out is how LEGO® continues expanding the modular Hogwarts Castle system while also giving us completely new locations. Luna's whimsical house finally gets the brick treatment it deserves, twenty-plus years after Deathly Hallows introduced it to fans.

The Crown Jewel — Sorcerer's Stone Collectors' Edition (76466)

Price: $169.99 | Pieces: 1,571 | Age: 18+

This set is pure nostalgia packaged in 1,571 pieces of brick-built brilliance. The Sorcerer's Stone Collectors' Edition stacks iconic moments from the first film into one stunning display. Hedwig perches atop Harry's trunk, which sits on books, which rest on a Wizard Chessboard—every inch tells a story.

Three knobs on the side activate different functions. Turn one and watch the troll burst through the bathroom wall in a microscale recreation of that unforgettable scene. Another makes Hedwig's head rotate a full 360 degrees. The third extends the white queen chess piece forward, mimicking her menacing advance from the film.

The Golden Trio minifigures come dressed for the final challenges. Ron and Hermione feature arm printing, while Harry sports his authentically torn jumper from battling past obstacles. Tiny details like Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card and two Galleon pieces add authentic touches throughout.

The chess pieces themselves received major upgrades. They're sturdier and more detailed than previous versions, with Ron able to actually sit astride the black knight. Display this near a window or (for the true Game of Bricks experience) add a subtle light kit to make Hedwig and the Philosopher's Stone really pop.

The Three Stars of the Wave

Three sets dominate this wave in both size and ambition. Each offers hundreds of pieces, multiple minifigures, and builds substantial enough to anchor any display.

Hogwarts Castle: Hospital Wing (76463)

Price: $99.99 | Pieces: 907 | Age: 9+

The Hospital Wing headlines this wave as the major addition to LEGO's growing modular Hogwarts Castle. This 907-piece beauty spans three levels, each packed with authentic details from Prisoner of Azkaban.

The bottom level features a removable Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom hidden in rocky foundations. Pop it out for easier play access. The middle tier is the Hospital Wing proper, complete with sick beds and white privacy screens. Up top, you'll find the Ravenclaw Common Room where Penelope Clearwater and the Grey Lady hang out.

Seven minifigures join the party: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Remus Lupin, Penelope Clearwater, a Dementor, and the Grey Lady. Ron's spider (his boggart) makes an appearance, along with Lupin's Wolf Patronus (one of the special 25th-anniversary collectibles). Two of the fourteen collectible Hogwarts portraits are also hidden inside.

This connects seamlessly with other modular Hogwarts sets to build your ultimate castle display. Many fans consider this one of the best LEGO® Harry Potter sets for expanding their castle collection.

Luna Lovegood's House (76467)

Price: $89.99 | Pieces: 764 | Age: 10+

Luna's quirky cylindrical home gets its first-ever LEGO® interpretation, and LEGO® absolutely nailed the eccentric charm. The house sits atop a small hill, climbing three wonky floors that perfectly capture the Lovegood family's delightfully offbeat aesthetic.

Dark grey and sand green bricks mix with vines and plants crawling up the exterior. A sign warns visitors about Dirigible Plums. Inside, red stairs wind up through all three levels. The ground floor serves as both kitchen and gathering space. The middle floor houses Xenophilius's printing workshop, where he creates The Quibbler. Luna's bedroom occupies the top floor, complete with her artwork and personal touches.

Five minifigures included: Luna, Xenophilius (his first-ever minifigure!), Harry, Hermione, and a Death Eater. Plus, there's Luna's Hare Patronus for your 25th-anniversary collection.

Enchanted Flying Ford Anglia (76470)

Price: $79.99 | Pieces: 868 | Age: 10+

The Ford Anglia returns bigger and better than ever. At 868 pieces, this is the most detailed brick-built version of the Weasley family's enchanted car. It sits somewhere between a standard set and LEGO® Icons scale, substantial without being overwhelming.

This set takes a controversial approach: brick-built versions of Harry and Ron replace traditional minifigures. These chunky figures fit inside the car but have divided fans. Some love the creative solution; others think the proportions look off. Hedwig also appears as a brick-built owl in the back seat.

The trunk and doors open with satisfying functions.
The best feature: press a button and watch Harry and Ron's luggage go flying out the back, just like in Chamber of Secrets when they crashed into the Whomping Willow. It's the kind of interactive detail that elevates a display piece into something genuinely fun.

Mid-Range Magic — Creative Display Sets

Not every great set needs to break the bank or dominate your shelf. These mid-priced options bring creative concepts and unique play patterns.

Cauldron: Secret Potions Classroom (76464)

Price: $59.99 | Pieces: 652 | Age: 10+

This set screams "Polly Pocket for Potterheads" in the best possible way. Build a bubbling brick cauldron that opens to reveal an entire hidden potions classroom inside. Move the stirring stick and watch the cauldron split open to expose removable desks, potion bottles, and ingredient bricks for Wolfsbane, Polyjuice, and Love Potions.

Professor Snape and Hermione Granger minifigures let you recreate tense classroom moments. Hermione's Otter Patronus joins them as another anniversary collectible. One of the fourteen Hogwarts portraits is hidden inside, too.

The closed cauldron makes brilliant Halloween decor or a year-round display. It's compact enough to fit almost anywhere but detailed enough to impress fellow fans.

Cornish Pixie (76461)

Price: $29.99 | Pieces: 320 | Age: 8+

When Gilderoy Lockhart released a cage full of Cornish Pixies during Defense Against the Dark Arts class, chaos erupted. This 1:1 scale buildable version captures one of those "devilishly tricky little blighters" in 320 pieces of blue mischief.

The Pixie is fully posable—head, arms, and fingers all move. Display it on the included transparent stand in flying position, or pose it standing on its own. It comes with a buildable Gilderoy Lockhart book and a tipped bottle of ink mid-spill, recreating the classroom mayhem.

This follows the same format as the popular Dobby the House-Elf set. It's perfect for fans who want something unique on their desk without committing to a massive build.

Which Under-$20 Set Should You Buy First?

Under $20, these two sets prove that price doesn't determine value. Both pack meaningful play and display options into compact, affordable builds.

Hogwarts Castle: Sorting Hat Ceremony (76460)

Price: $14.99 | Pieces: 124 | Age: 7+

At just $14.99, this little set packs serious nostalgia. It's a direct homage to 2001's first-ever LEGO® Harry Potter set (4701 Sorting Hat), bringing that original magic back for a new generation.

Place the Sorting Hat on Harry, Hermione, or Draco, then spin the sorting wheel to discover their house. The set includes a Great Hall table section, and the house points hourglasses. Professor McGonagall oversees everything, and her Cat Patronus adds to your anniversary collection.

This connects to the modular Hogwarts Castle system even at its compact size. For younger builders or anyone wanting an affordable entry point, it's perfect.

Even the compact Sorting Hat Ceremony looks magical with subtle lights for LEGO® Harry Potter highlighting the house point hourglasses.

Hagrid & Harry's Privet Drive Escape (76459)

Price: $19.99 | Pieces: 124 | Age: 8+

After years of that weird brick-built motorcycle from 2025, we're getting a proper minifigure-scale version of Hagrid's flying motorcycle. This set recreates the Battle of the Seven Potters from Deathly Hallows Part 1, where Harry and Hagrid flee Privet Drive pursued by Death Eaters.

The motorcycle has a sidecar for Harry. The Privet Drive mini-scene includes a lamppost and a planter of flowerpots designed to flip over during the escape. Two generic Death Eater minifigures provide opposition.

For twenty bucks, you get four minifigures, a motorcycle, and a display scene. It's one of the best value propositions in the entire wave.

Which Sets Are Must-Haves and Which Can You Skip?

The January 2026 LEGO® Harry Potter sets lineup delivers something truly special. From the premium Sorcerer's Stone Collectors' Edition down to the budget-friendly Sorting Hat Ceremony, every set brings authentic details and genuine play value.

Luna's house stands out as the must-have location debut. The Hospital Wing provides a crucial modular castle expansion. The Cauldron offers creative display options unlike anything else in the theme. Even controversial choices like the Ford Anglia's brick-built figures spark interesting conversations about what LEGO® can do with scale and design.

The 25th-anniversary Patronus collection adds treasure-hunt excitement. Collectors will scramble to grab all four sets containing these translucent blue guardians.
