This Lego Harry Potter Chomping Monster Book of Monsters set is basically the Evil Dead’s Necronomicon
Want a Lego version of the Evil Dead’s Necronomicon? This Lego Harry Potter Chomping Monster set is the next best thing.

The chances of Lego putting out a range of Lego Evil Dead sets is absolutely zero. Yes, they released a Lego Jaws set, but this Bruce Campbell-led horror franchise is still a world away. But Lego has released a set, the Lego Harry Potter Chomping Monster Book of Monsters 76449, which is as close to the Evil Dead’s nightmarish sentient book as you can get.
I’ve never seen The Prisoner of Azkaban, the Harry Potter movie this is from, but it’s the kind of evil tome that could take pride of place on a shelf, regardless of how into the movies and/or books you are. It also come with a Harry Potter minifigure and an additional minifigure scale copy of the book, a neat touch.
Released earlier this month, the set is made up of 518 pieces and rated for builders aged 9 or over. It doesn’t open in the way an actual book does, but it’s got an even creepier feature. You can pull it back, and it’ll race forward, snapping at anything in its way. If you’ve got any pets, you might want them to steer clear.
It’s also reminiscent of this Lego Dungeons and Dragons Mimic Chest set, though that model is now like golddust.We’ve got our fingers crossed that someone at Rebrickable figures out how to convert this set into a full-on Evil Dead Necronomicon.
