In the magical world of Harry Potter franchise, September 1st is the day when students board the Hogwarts Express at Platform Nine and Three Quarters to return to the magical school of witchcraft and wizardry. For those of us who unfortunately never received their Hogwarts acceptance letter, September 1st, or Return to Hogwarts Day, is a time to celebrate our love for the Boy Who Lived and all things Harry Potter. The unofficial holiday usually sees announcements and merchandise releases, and this year Lego is releasing a new Collector’s Edition set of the Weasley family home, the Burrow.

Comprising 2,405 pieces, the new set perfectly captures the quirky magical house, featuring unique building techniques that make the floors appear slanted, the windows askew and the whole structure lean slightly to one side. Both the exterior and interior are full of details that fans of the books and films will instantly recognise. The house can be opened to reveal its rooms and magical details. A minifigure can be placed in the fireplace and then lifted up by a swirl of green flames to send them into the Floo network that carries them away. A small lever on the sink moves a pan and brush back and forth, letting magic do the chores. The hands of the famous Weasley family clock on the wall can also be turned.

Lego insiders can secure the set early

The set also includes some details that will delight those who have read the books countless times; it includes some locations and characters that are rarely or not seen in the films. In the films, we get a few glimpses of Ron’s bedroom, but not with much detail. The Burrow Lego set shows the character’s room with details mentioned in the books, such as a poster and bedspread of his favorite Quidditch team, the Chudley Cannons. Also included is Ginny’s bedroom, with a bedspread made of her Favorite Quidditch team, the Holyhead Harpies, and a poster of the popular wizarding band the Weird Sisters. We can also see the bedroom of twins Fred and George above the family dining table, where they work on developing their Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes products. Also included among the set’s ten minifigures are Bill and Charlie Weasley, the latter of whom does not appear at all in the films.

For Lego Insiders, members of the Lego loyalty program, the set will be available from September 1, 2024. In addition, they can get a few free gifts with their purchase for a limited time while supplies last. For everyone else, the set will go on sale on September 4.
