LEGO Harry Potter’s current modular Hogwarts system isn’t done yet, apparently
The current iteration of LEGO Harry Potter’s modular Hogwarts Castle reportedly isn’t done yet – despite this summer’s 76415 The Battle of Hogwarts seemingly popping a bow on the system.
The LEGO Group hit the reset button on its modular Harry Potter layout in summer 2021, kick-starting a brand new system for the theme’s 20th anniversary after three years of the original grey-roofed modules. At first, these new dollhouse-style sets seemed strangely boxy – but the Wizarding World team’s grand ambitions were revealed earlier this summer when 76415 The Battle of Hogwarts debuted alongside the June wave.
In tandem with that Deathly Hallows Part 2 set, the LEGO Group published an image of almost every single set in the new system linked together, forming a layout and silhouette not dissimilar to the larger 71043 Hogwarts Castle. It was a real ‘aha!’ moment for the community, as we collectively realised the LEGO Group had a long-term plan for this new system after all. But at the time, it seemed like one that was now complete.
Besides, the summer 2023 wave marked three years of sets in the current green-roofed format, matching the duration of the grey-roofed sets released between 2018 and 2020. Next year therefore seemed ripe for the LEGO Group to start again, introducing a new wave of young Potterheads to the fold with staples like a new Great Hall, Astronomy Tower and so on.
Instead, the latest LEGO Harry Potter 2024 rumours suggest we’ll actually see two more additions to the current modular Hogwarts Castle in March, covering previously-unexplored areas of the wizarding school at minifigure scale. According to 1414falconfan (via Polish LEGO fan site faniklockow.pl), 76426 Boat House/Arrival at Hogwarts and 76430 Hogwarts Owlery will both follow in the footsteps of 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, 76398 Hogwarts Hospital Wing etcetera.
76426 Boat House/Arrival at Hogwarts is rumoured to depict the students’ journey across the Great Lake at the beginning of the school year, presumably drawing on Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Harry and two other students are said to be included in the set, alongside Professor McGonagall. 76430 Hogwarts Owlery, meanwhile, looks destined to be based on the Order of the Phoenix, with minifigures of Harry, Cho Chang and Argus Filch.
Exactly where these sets might fit best in the wider Hogwarts layout will only be known if and when they land on shelves, and those of us lucky enough to own the entire system so far can play around with multiple arrangements. Or the LEGO Group might continue releasing images of suggested layouts with every new wave, but those will presumably only include currently-available sets – and a number of Hogwarts sets are due to retire by the end of this year…
All rumours should be taken lightly until we receive confirmation of future sets directly from the LEGO Group, so don’t put too much stock in these reports for now. But if the current modular Hogwarts is set to continue, now might be a good time to catch up on the entries you’re missing so far. Or if you’re already caught up, there’s always the brand new 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition for a LEGO Harry Potter fix.
