If you’ve ever dreamt of strolling the snowy lanes of Hogsmeade, surrounded by magical shops and mischievous wizarding students, LEGO has just made the fantasy irresistibly tangible. The new Hogsmeade Village Collectors’ Edition (set 76457) lands this September, perfectly timed for cozy autumn building sessions and holiday wish lists. With 3,228 pieces, an 18+ rating, and sprawling nearly 30 inches wide and 13 inches tall, this isn’t a casual purchase – it’s a centerpiece to schedule your weekend around and proudly display in your living room.
LEGO designers clearly indulged their love for all things sweet and wizarding while crafting this set. Seven iconic buildings line the street: Honeydukes sweet shop, The Three Broomsticks, Owl Post, Dervish and Banges, Scrivenshaft’s Quill Shop, and for the first time in LEGO form, Zonko’s Joke Shop and the Hog’s Head pub. Flip the roofs and peer behind the shopfronts, and you’ll spot candy jars, prank props, and rich interior details that reward the most observant fans. The snowy rooftops lend that exact winter charm straight out of Prisoner of Azkaban , begging for a crackling fireplace and a mug of butterbeer nearby.
LEGO didn’t skimp on the minifigure cast. You get twelve characters: Harry, Ron, Hermione, plus Aberforth Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy, Professor McGonagall, Katie Bell, Madam Rosmerta, the Flumes, and even a horse and carriage – perfect for staging picturesque entrances. Every figure and accessory feels film-accurate, from shop signs to interior storytelling, making each building feel alive, not just decorative.
This set doesn’t connect directly to the modular Hogwarts Castle sets – and that’s entirely fitting. Hogsmeade is a destination in its own right, not an annex. Placed beside Diagon Alley and Hogwarts, it forms a broader magical landscape on your shelf. While Hogwarts towers with drama, Hogsmeade radiates warmth, camaraderie, and a splash of mischief – the kind of contrast that amps up any collection.
At $399.99, it’s firmly in the adult collector tier. But the piece count, modular design, minifigures, and architectural details back every penny. For those tracking the biggest LEGO sets in the world, Hogsmeade may not rival colossal builds like the 11,695-piece World Map or the 10,001-piece Eiffel Tower in scale, yet it earns its place through craftsmanship, storytelling, and nostalgia.
It’s the kind of set that makes you believe the wait was worth it. If you’ve spent years imagining your own Hogsmeade street, this is the moment. It deserves not just shelf space, but a place in your heart – and maybe even weekend plans centered entirely around building magic.
