The reveal isn’t supposed to happen until the end of the month but one seemingly lucky LEGO fan received the set by mistake. Reddit user LegendofTovon ordered the new LEGO Lion Knights’ Castle (10305) set but upon opening the box quickly realised it was the wrong set.

Before popping it back into its box and sending it back to LEGO they took several photos for the community to get a better look at what this set entails.

The set will feature a portion of the Kings Cross 9 & 3/4 Platform, a fully detailed Hogwarts Express, and 20 Minifigures, including:

• Conductor
• Trolley Witch
• Harry (Years 1, 3, 6 & Epilogue)
• Ron (Years 1 & 3)
• Hermione (Years 1 & 3),
• Professor Lupin
• Dementor
• Luna Lovegood
• Draco Malfoy
• Ginny Weasley
• Albus Severus
• Lily Luna
• James Sirius
• Random Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff student.
