LEGO® HARRY POTTER™ HOGWARTS EXPRESS™
ALL ABOARD THE NEW LEGO® HARRY POTTER HOGWARTS EXPRESS COLLECTOR’S EDITION!
The LEGO Group has revealed a stunning new rendition of the Harry Potter Hogwarts Express train. The new LEGO Harry Potter™ Hogwarts Express™ Collector’s Edition set measures a whistle blowing 118cm long and is your ticket to a magical LEGO adventure at Hogwarts.
Rich in details both inside and out, the model includes the steam engine sitting on a track-display-base, a turning lever to activate the driving wheels, the coal car, the passenger car featuring light up bricks, and a spectacular replica of Platform 9 ¾, which can be attached in several different places.
What’s more, the magic continues! This set features an impressive twenty minifigures inspired by four fan-favourite film moments, including the golden trio – Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and more.
Uncover iconic scenes and quotes from the movies that all link to the train or the platform as you build a magical LEGO Harry Potter world. The set will transport you through the journey from when Harry, Ron and Hermione first meet in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, through to when Albus Severus Potter goes to Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
Marcos Bessa, LEGO Master Designer commented: “The Harry Potter movies ignite that feeling of magic within us all. When we were working on this set, we wanted to bring to life different moments from across the movies. Whether your favourite is the original trio meeting on the train or moments from movies later in the series, this set really brings back spellbinding memories from the Harry Potter films.”
