Take a trip to Hogsmeade Village with this new snow-covered Harry Potter Lego set
After Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade is the next Harry Potter street to get its own Lego set.
If you’re a Harry Potter, you’ll be in a bit of a dry spell right now. The Harry Potter movies are over, the Fantastic Beasts series is on hold, and HBO’s Harry Potter series is at least a couple of years away. Luckily, that hasn’t stopped Lego, which has just announced its new Lego Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village Collectors Edition 76457 set.
Like Lego’s larger Harry Potter Diagon Alley set, this set is made up of several modular buildings, though it looks distinctly more snowy than the former. At £349.99 it’s £50 cheaper than the former, but we can see Harry Potter fans getting a major, major kick out of this magical set.
So just what do you get with this set? We’ll delve into the minifigures in a moment, but it’s made up of five distinct shops, which are as follows:
- Honeydukes sweet shop
- The Owl Post
- The Three Broomsticks pub
- Dervish and Banges
- Scrivenshaft’s Quill Shop
The set is 21.85 in. (55.5 cm) high, 14.8 in. (37.8 cm) wide and 6.18 in. (15.7 cm) deep; you can turn the set/shops around to view from the rear. Essentially, they have no back wall, but it makes the set more play friendly.
There are 12 Harry Potter minifigures including: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Katie Bell, Draco Malfoy, Professor McGonagall and Cornelius Fudge. The set is rated for builders aged 18+ which isn’t surprising given it contains 3228 pieces. However, once built, there’s plenty of play potential here.
If you’re itching to put your money down, we’ve got good news and bad news. The bad news is you can’t pre-order this Lego Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village Collectors Edition 76457 set, and it’ll only be available from September 1st for Lego Insiders, September 4th for non-insiders.
The good news is that you can snag three Lego Gifts With Purchase if you buy it from Lego’s site. There’s the Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement, Lego Harry Potter Quidditch Lesson and Lego Harry Potter™ Hogsmeade™ Sign.
These GWPs are, in theory, available between 1st and 7th of September. However, based on past experience, they’ll sell out fast.

This Lego Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village Collectors Edition 76457 set is certainly striking. Pricey, yes, but seriously impressive to look at. It’s available from September 1st if you’re a Lego Insider, and on general release, shop shelves included, from September 4th.
