As we eagerly await the final LEGO Harry Potter set of 2024 of 76437 The Burrow: Collectors Edition, the first rumours about the themes 2025 lineup have appeared. Like the last few years, the LEGO Harry Potter theme will continue to have two waves in a year: a winter and a summer one. 2025s winter LEGO Harry Potter wave will consist of a total of seven sets all releasing on the 1st of January 2025.
2024 introduced a brand new modular system for the LEGO Harry Potter system and this January 2025 will see a couple more additions. These include 76441 Hogwarts Castle: Dueling Club, 76443 Hogwarts Castle: Charms Class and 76447 Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons. The latter of the three is the most expensive at $79.99 for 651 pieces.
The wave also features a brand new 18+ model of 76444 Diagon Alley: Wizarding Shops, a brand new brick-built Knight Bus under the set number 76446 and our first iteration of Hagrid's Motrocyle in LEGO form with 76442. But the most exciting set of them all has to be 76453 Malfoy Manor which sees a prominent location from the Deathly Hallows appear in brick-built LEGO form for the very first time for $150.
76441 Hogwarts Castle: Dueling Club
Our first of three models adding to the biggest LEGO Hogwarts modular system yet is 76441 Hogwarts Castle: Dueling Club. The set will be based on the dueling club set up by Gilderoy Lockhart in the second film the Chamber of Secrets. 76441 will become the smallest addition so far to the new Hogwarts Castle as it'll include only 158 piece for a relatively high price of $24.99.
The high price-per-piece ratio may be because of the amount of Minifigures included in the January 2025 set. Characters such as Gilderoy Lockhart, Severus Snape, Draco Malfoy, Justin Finch-Fletchley and of course, Harry Potter himself play an important part in this scene. They could all be included along with the snake and of course, the main build of 76441 which will be the duelling platform similar to that seen in 76389 Chamber of Secrets.
Set Name - Hogwarts Castle: Dueling Club
Set Number - 76441
Age Range - 7+
Piece Count - 158
Price - $24.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
76442 Hagrid's Motorcycle
The cheapest set of the wave is 76442 Hagrid's Motorcycle which is the first brick-built recreation of Hagrid's Motorcycle. The playset will see the main motorcycle build attached with the sidecar for Harry to sit in. For 204 pieces and a retail price of $19.99, theres also the possibility of a couple of play features such as the decoupling of the motorcycle with the sidecar, the net and the dragon fire as Hagrid looks to lead Harry to safety.
Only two minifigures will be included: Harry Potter and Hagrid. If we're lucky we may even see a new version of Hagrid printed with his motorcycle goggles. Harry will obviously be based on his appearance in this scene/his usual appearance for LEGO Harry Potter sets based on the Deathly Hallows.
Set Name - Hagrid's Motorcycle
Set Number - 76442
Age Range - 7+
Piece Count - 204
Price - $19.99 / €TBC / £TBC

76443 Hogwarts Castle: Charms Class
The Charms Class will be the next addition to the LEGO Harry Potter modular Hogwarts system. 76443 includes a total of 617 pieces retailing for $49.99. The larger classroom and higher piece count suggests this will be a pretty substantial and important expansion to the Hogwarts system. In particular, it'll most likely expand upon the 'slots' seen in Junes 76435 Hogwarts Castle: The Great Hall.
The Charms classroom was last seen in LEGO form with the Hogwarts Moments Series in 2020. 76443 Hogwarts Castle: Charms Class will be similar but fully enclosed and likely a lot more detailed. The likes of a blackboard, a bookshelf and a fireplace, along with a variety of furniture for the students are likely to be included. We'll also see the Charms teacher Professor Flitwick as a Minifigure along with a couple of Hogwarts students.
Set Name - Hogwarts Castle: Charms Class
Set Number - 76443
Age Range - 8+
Piece Count - 617
Price - $49.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
76444 Diagon Alley: Wizarding Shops
Rather than an expansion in Minifigure scale, 76444 Diagon Alley: Wizarding Shops will be exploring the microscale world as an expansion to 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds. Similar to 76419, 76444 and its selection of iconic shops located in Diagon Alley will sit on a black base/display stand. 2,750 pieces for $199.99 suggests plenty of details in this smaller form along with plenty of shops and possibly the wizarding bank Gringotts.
Set Name - Diagon Alley: Wizarding Shops
Set Number - 76444
Age Range - 18+
Piece Count - 2,750
Price - $199.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
76446 The Knight Bus
5 years ago since its last brick-built iteration, the Knight Bus will return in LEGO form under the set number 76446. 2019s version included 403 pieces suggesting a slightly bigger build as 76446 includes 499 pieces for $49.99. We may possibly be seeing an eight-wide iteration of the vehicle similar to LEGO Speed Champions which made the switch a couple of years ago.
The Minifigure lineup will consist of Stan Shunpike and Ernie Prang who may be exclusive along with the usual inclusion of Harry Potter himself.
Set Name - The Knight Bus
Set Number - 76446
Age Range - 8+
Piece Count - 499
Price - $49.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
76447 Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons
Our third and final LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts set of this wave is 76447 Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons. It is the most expensive of the three retailing for $79.99 with a total of 651 pieces. A set similar to 76447 released back in 2021 but this was much smaller suggesting a much bigger backdrop and Hogwarts expansion in 76447.
Along with the new additions of the LEGO Hogwarts modular system, we'll also see plenty of quidditch accessories in LEGO form almost like a very expensive parts pack. Madam Hooch is almost guaranteed to be included as a Minifigure along with prominent characters like Harry, Draco and Neville in that first flying scene in the first movie. A couple of different quidditch torsos and legs may also be included if we're lucky.
Set Name - Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons
Set Number - 76447
Age Range - 9+
Piece Count - 651
Price - $79.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
76453 Malfoy Manor
Last but not least we have 76453 Malfoy Manor which for 1,601 pieces will retail for $149.99 from the 1st of January 2025. Many fans have been asking for the estate of Draco's prants and it will finally arrive in LEGO form at the start of next year. The location is extremely prominent in the Deathly Hallows so there are many scenes LEGO can base the set on.
For the price and piece count, we expect an open facade at the back similar to 76408 12 Grimmauld Place. LEGO will aim to include as much playability as possible for a set that will most likely have the age range of 10+. Nine Minifigures were included in 76408 and we expect roughly the same amount in 76453. These could include the likes of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dobby, Luna, Griphook, Mr. Olivander, Bellatrix and members of the Malfoy family.
Set Name - Malfoy Manor
Set Number - 76453
Age Range - 10+
Piece Count - 1,601
Price - $149.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
