Muggles can finally experience the magic that is Diagon Alley with the new LEGO® Harry Potter™ Diagon Alley™ (75978) now available for sale! The set is modular allowing to switch out shops to cater to your play and display needs. Spread it out the full meter wide to give each included LEGO Minifigure a place in the story. Retell stories or make up new ones, the possibilities are endless with LEGO, and with the modular design, you can place each store/building anywhere you like!
At over 5,000 pieces, LEGO builders young and old will appreciate the thoughtful and detailed design work from choosing their own wand at Ollivander’s or getting a special Wonder Witch product designed by Fred and George, a love potion perhaps, at Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes?
Marcos Bessa, LEGO Harry Potter Design Lead commented: “I love how faithful the final design is to the architectural details in the film. You can barely see some of these buildings zooming past your screen, but we tracked down different photographs from the sets – some of them from nearly 20 years ago – to make sure everything is spot on. Diagon Alley is the biggest set I’ve designed to-date and I am really proud of how it has come together.”
The LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley set is truly a finishing touch for die-hard LEGO Harry Potter collectors, especially with a roundup of 14 included LEGO minifigures with new versions of familiar faces likes Harry, Ron, Hermione and of course George and Fred Weasley who are Diagon Alley staples with their famous joke and sweets shop. There are also four new LEGO minifigure characters that will only be available in this set: Gilderoy Lockhart, Florean Fortescue, Lucius Malfoy, and the Daily Prophet photographer.
Once the build is complete, play and display all while giving each character a role in your story either to drop by any of the included shops: Ollivanders™ Wand Shop, Scribbulus™ Writing Implements, Quality Quidditch™ Supplies, Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, Flourish & Blotts™ bookseller, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes™ and the Daily Prophet™ entrance. With true attention to detail, keen Harry Potter fans will notice the hand-powered top hat atop the entrance of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, or even the jagged chimney line giving so much realism to each shop.
