In recent years, Lego has become a favourite not only among children but also adults, thanks to its highly sought-after 18+ sets. If you’re on the hunt for the ideal Christmas gift for a Lego enthusiast in your life, the Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle and Grounds is currently priced at £119.99, down from £149.99 this Prime Day.
Comprising 2,660 pieces, this impressive Lego interpretation of the Hogwarts castle includes the great hall, astronomy tower and main tower, while the grounds consist of the castle’s lake, greenhouses, and a spot for the Whomping Willow.
The intricate set also showcases various aspects of the castle’s interior, such as the Chamber of Secrets, the potions classroom, and even a place for some wizard’s chess. On the lake, you’ll discover the Durmstrang ship, a flying carriage perched high above the castle, and there’s even a golden figurine representing Hogwarts’s architect – essentially everything a Harry Potter aficionado could desire.
It’s not the only Lego Harry Potter set available this Prime Day, with the Sorting Hat going for £65.99 (down from £89.99). Another 18+ set, the Sorting Hat comprises 561 pieces, 31 sound effects, and a mini figure of Harry donning the chatty hat.

The Hogwarts set has earned substantial praise, with more than 1,500 reviews and an average user rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars. An enthusiastic customer shared, “Imaginative and intricate, this set catered perfectly to my inner wizard.. It’s brought a slice of Hogwarts magic into our home with stunning detail, and it’s a fantastic addition to the bookshelf. For any Harry Potter enthusiast, this blend of logic and lore is well worth the galleons.”
Another satisfied buyer stated, “I was engaged and never bored throughout the process. The finished set looks stunning on my shelf.” Another five-star review exclaimed, “The Lego 76419 Harry Potter set is a real treat for fans. It’s a cool, scaled-down Hogwarts that doesn’t skimp on the details, even with its 2,660 pieces. For the price, you’re getting a solid build that captures the magic of the place. All in all, it’s a great piece for display and a fun build that’s worth every penny. Happy building! “.
However, not all feedback was entirely glowing; some customers experienced issues with missing pieces: “Lovely looking set, but when you spend this kind of money on a set, you expect to get all the pieces,” one customer pointed out, and another echoed, “Bought this for my husband’s Christmas and there are a few pieces missing or wrong sizing.”
Nevertheless, it’s reassuring to know that Lego’s customer service is available to assist and replace missing parts free of charge should there be any issues, reports Wales Online.
Harry Potter isn’t the only magical world Lego has ventured into. Star Wars enthusiasts can get their hands on the Imperial Star Destroyer set for £149.99. For those willing to splurge, the Lord of the Rings Rivendell set is available for a cool £429.99.
