The set, LEGO Harry Potter Borgin and Burkes: Floo Network (40695), is based on an iconic deleted scene from the Harry Potter films. It features a brick-built interior section of Borgin & Burkes, including a fireplace with a Floo Network function – turn the handle to make the minifigure ’disappear’. Also included is a Lucius Malfoy Minifigure.

As the product listing states, on the Australian webpage, it will be joined by a Collectors Edition of the Burrow house. We suspect this GWP will be linked to that somehow, so watch this space. Check out the official images and details below. Share your thoughts on it via the comments section.

The first is a brand new LEGO Harry Potter set, Draco in the Forbidden Forest (30677), it’s taken from the scene where Draco (and other students) attend detention in the Forbidden Forest. Inside is a small brick-built landscape along with a Draco Malfoy Minifigure.

The other is a new addition to the Mini-scale cars theme in the form of the McLaren Formula 1 Car (30683). This one interests me as it not only looks smart, it is one of the first mini LEGO cars of its kind in recent years.

These will be available from 1st March from Lucky Bricks themselves along with your preferred LEGO Polybag retailer. Check out the images below and don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments section.

The set is based on the Sorting Hat from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. An ineresting feature is a new sound brick, that comes packed with 31 sounds and sayings. The cost of developing this technology is probably behind the steep price of £74.99/$79.99/€79.99 (RRP unconfirmed, some sources even claim it will be $/€99.99) for only 561 parts. It’ll also stand tall at approximately 25cm high and come with a display stand and Harry Potter Minifigure, who is also wearing a mini Sorting Hat.

Hogwarts Castle Owlery, Hagrid’s Hut: An Unexpected Visit and Hogwarts Castle Boathouse will contain 1 or more (depending on the set) collectible tiles. As LEGO describes them:

1 of 14 collectible Hogwarts portraits – This kids’ building toy includes a gold-colored element printed with 1 of 14 random Hogwarts portraits to display

No information has reached us so far how these will look, and what characters they’ll feature.

Are you excited to collect all these special collectible tiles? Share your thoughts on this new feature in the comments!

The sets consist of 2 buildings, Boathouse and Owlery, along with a handful of small ‘standalone’ style sets. The giant Hedwig perched in the Privet Drive sign looks a little out of scale but apart from that the sets look pretty standard to me. Releasing early 2024.

There have been a few over the years but the last one to include a Minifigure was back in 2012. This updated idition includes an amazing exclusive Minifigure, Rita Skeeter. Complete with a printed notepad tile and transparent green flame piece.

The Minifigure itself is stunning with the attention to detail being spot on to the onscreen counterpart, right down to the fluffy collar and pockets. The combination of blonde hair, dual facial expressions, outfit and the accessories, LEGO have done this Minifigure justice and it’s an absolute must for LEGO Harry Potter collectors.

The book is filled to the brim with every Minifigure under the LEGO Wizarding World umbrella, including Rita Skeeter herself!

Each Minifigure has its own page, making space fore all the details and facts needed to cover that particular character, such as the year it released, the sets it appears in and the accessories it comes with. It also lists the variants, if there are more than one, of the character, for example the I age below shows LEGO Harry Potter and 3 of the others that can be acquire. It even lists the alternative facial expressions and a background about the colours used.

I’ve chosen random pages to showcase here but they all pretty much state the same information for each Minifigure. There are double spread pages dotted throughout the book, these highlight the beginning of a new Harry Potter book, for instance The Philosopher’s Stone and the characters that appear in that particular film.

It’s not just limited to Harry Potter, as Fantastic Beasts and where to find them are also included in the book. Making it a true comprehensive encyclopedia.

One of my personal favourites is the Founders of Hogwarts page, being a Harry Potter fan both of the movies and in LEGO form, it’s nice to see that other characters are shown too, ones we don’t necessarily know much about, or featured in the movies.

Again the page is filled with cool facts and information to learn about these characters. It’s a great reference tool to have when you don’t recognise a Minifigure, a quick flick through and hey-presto, information acquired!

The book is available now from all good book stores, including Amazon and The Works (UK). I picked up my copy from The Works at a reduced price of £10, which obviously makes it a cracking deal.

Other books in the LEGO Encyclopedias are also available, check out your local book store for more. Let us know via the comments section below if you are a game of this style of book and which ones you have.
