LEGO's expansive project to recreate Hogwarts Castle from the Harry Potter franchise as a modular, minifigure-scale build is well underway, with numerous sets released since its 2024 inception. This ambitious undertaking, which allows fans to construct the iconic castle piece by piece, is expected to continue for several more years. As of August 2026, the collective build comprises 9,778 pieces and has a total cost of $1,162.87.
Early Modular Components
The initial releases included several independent structures that hinted at the larger project. The Owlery, set #76430 with 364 pieces and a price of $44.99, launched on March 1, 2024, and was inspired by "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." This set, while retired, is a standalone structure that can be modified for seasonal aesthetics. Alongside it, the Boathouse (set #76426, 350 pieces, $37.99) also debuted on March 1, 2024, drawing from "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." Its gray spires led to early speculation among fans about a potential Hogwarts build.
The Potions Class set (set #76431, 397 pieces, $39.99) arrived on June 1, 2024, offering a classroom alternative that could replace a more scene-specific diorama in other sets. The Great Hall (set #76435, 1,732 pieces, $199.99), a more substantial piece released on the same date, serves as a foundational element. It includes the Great Hall itself, along with several other rooms and connects to other castle sections.
Expanding the Castle in 2025
Early 2025 saw the release of several sets, including the Dueling Club (set #76441, 158 pieces, $24.99), inspired by "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." This set features a gimmick floor for minifigure action and can serve as an alternative table for the Great Hall. The Charms Class (set #76442, 204 pieces, $19.99) and Flying Lessons (set #76447, 651 pieces, $79.99) sets, both launching January 1, 2025, focus on specific classroom and flying broomstick scenes, with the latter not yet directly connecting to the main castle structure. The Herbology Class (set #76445, 390 pieces, $49.99), released June 1, 2025, offers a freestanding greenhouse with Professor Sprout and mandrakes. The Hospital Wing (set #76463, 907 pieces, $99.99), available January 1, 2025, is a significant addition connecting to the Main Tower and including the Ravenclaw common room and Professor Lupin's classroom.
Major Structures and Recent Additions
Two major components, the Main Tower (set #76454, 2,135 pieces, $259.99) and the East Wing (set #76473, 2,164 pieces, $269.99), were released on June 1, 2025, and June 1, 2026, respectively. The Main Tower connects to the Great Hall and houses several iconic rooms, including Dumbledore's office. The East Wing links to both the Great Hall and Main Tower, featuring the Slytherin common room and the Chamber of Secrets. The Sorting Hat Ceremony set (set #76460, 124 pieces, $14.99), released January 1, 2026, is an optional add-on for the Great Hall.
A limited-time gift-with-purchase, the Room of Requirement set (#40770, 202 pieces, $19.99), was available in September 2025 and is considered an optional classroom piece. While some early sets like the Owlery and Boathouse have been retired by the end of 2025, LEGO has indicated that more sets will be added to complete the castle, though a definitive end date has not been announced.
Future Prospects and Assembly
Based on current progress and the release of a miniature Hogwarts Castle architectural build which includes an Astronomy Tower, it is speculated that this structure may be a future addition to the modular build. LEGO has been hesitant to confirm whether the East Wing marks the final section of the castle. Missing elements such as the Astronomy Tower, Clock Tower, and Bell Towers remain possibilities for future expansion. The article notes that even retired sets can often be found on secondary markets or through persistent searching at retail locations. The ongoing nature of this project means that new opportunities to acquire and add to the LEGO Hogwarts Castle will continue to emerge.
