LEGO has officially revealed 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds , showcasing an awesome midi-sized microscale Hogwarts Castle that’s set to be released on 1 September 2023.

Update: LEGO have officially revealed global pricing! See below for regional pricing and product pages.

• 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds [US] – US$169.99
• 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds [AUS] – AU$TBD
• 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds [UK] – £149.99

• 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds [CA] – CAD$219.99

This compact model draws inspiration from LEGO Architecture (complete with the name plaque on the diorama frame) and shrinks down Hogwarts to a 2,660-piece model that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics.

The compact design and footprint of the set is perhaps a tacit acknowledgement by LEGO that not everybody can afford a 71043 Hogwarts Castle, which retails for US$469.99 / AU$699.99, or necessarily have the space for a gargantuan display piece.

This microscale Hogwarts is so much more practical, and I hope is a trend that continues as LEGO produces more mid-ranged sets that in my opinion, are more accessible to fans.

The design itself captures the towers and spires of Hogwarts quite well, and is filled with plenty of references to key events and sections, such as the Chamber of Secrets, the Durmstrang Ship, the Weasley’s Ford Anglia getting stuck on the Whomping Willow, and even the Beauxbatons Carriage making a landing.

For minifigure fans, the set also comes with an exclusive Architect of Hogwarts minifigure, which looks resplendent in pearl gold. Really like the new beard on him too!

LEGO are on to a winner with this one, and having had the opportunity to see this in the flesh, I think LEGO Harry Potter fans are going to love this one, especially those that don’t own the larger Hogwarts Castle.

I for one, am glad that this isn’t another mega-sized and mega-priced LEGO set!
