If you're a devoted Harry Potter fan, then you're no stranger to Hogsmeade. This snowy town, located near Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is not only the only village in the British wizarding world populated entirely by wizards, but has also been the setting for countless magical stories. Now, LEGO brings this iconic magical setting to life in the Collectors' Edition, allowing fans to build and relive the romance and wonder of winter magic.
The LEGO Group has unveiled its latest wizarding world masterpiece, inviting fans to build a beloved Wizarding World with the LEGO® Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village – Collectors' Edition. This large-scale model captures the magical village in winter, allowing builders to meticulously construct and explore its famous landmarks. The model is designed to recreate the cozy, snowy atmosphere of the Harry Potter films.
The magical history of Hogsmeade
Hogsmeade, the only village in the British wizarding world populated entirely by wizards, is located near Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Founded in the 10th century by the early wizard Hengist Woodcroft, who fled persecution from Muggles, it became a haven for wizards. Its cobbled streets, pointed cottages, and snow-covered eaves create one of the most distinctive villages in the Harry Potter universe.
In the stories, Hogwarts students visit Hogsmeade every holiday, where they enjoy a dazzling array of sweets, warm butterbeer, and secret gathering spots. Hogsmeade is not only a place for shopping and leisure, but also a testament to the friendship, adventure, and freedom of wizards.
Brickwork Inspiration
From the outset, Hogsmeade was designed with character and authenticity in mind. Composed of 3,228 bricks, it is divided into three main sections, containing seven unique buildings. The buildings are intentionally imperfect, with carefully designed skewed windows and crooked chimneys giving the village a unique, old-world look. Snow-covered rooftops add to the wintry atmosphere. For the first time, fans can build LEGO versions of Zonko's Joke Shop™ and the famous Hog's Head™ pub, adding new locations to their LEGO Harry Potter™ world. These new buildings stand alongside familiar features like Honeydukes™, the Three Broomsticks™, and the Owl Outpost™, creating a bustling village street.
Detailed Design and Immersive Experience
The model set's attention to detail extends even to the interior. Each door in the village opens to a beautifully designed room filled with recognizable miniature accessories from the stories. Builders will discover items throughout the shops and pubs, such as exploding candies, Butterbeer™, a looking glass, and a Memory Ball. One of the more ingenious touches is a portrait of Ariana Dumbledore, which, when opened, reveals a hidden passage, just like in the stories. These small details invite interaction, making the model a source of endless exploration. The set also comes with 12 minifigures, including Harry Potter™, Ron Weasley™, Hermione Granger™, Professor McGonagall™ and Aberforth Dumbledore, who complete the winter scene.
An immersive expansion of the Wizarding World
This collector's edition set is designed to be a significant display piece. Collectors can connect Hogsmeade™ with other sets to build a larger, more impressive Wizarding World. The sets physically connect, allowing fans to create a continuous, expandable display space that can be expanded over time.
Linkable with Hogwarts™ Castle
Juxtaposing Hogsmeade village with Hogwarts™ Castle recreates the classic scene of students walking to Hogsmeade on weekends. The castle's grandeur contrasts with the town's warmth: soaring spires and stately halls on one side, bustling streets and warm lights on the other. This combination not only adds depth to the scene but also allows the story to unfold more naturally.
You can even simulate Harry and his friends "setting out" from the castle, traversing a snow-covered path to the Three Broomsticks for a Butterbeer.
Linkable with Diagon Alley™
Pairing LEGO Diagon Alley™ with Hogsmeade village creates a dual magical commercial district. The fantastical bustle of Diagon Alley complements the simple romance of Hogsmeade. Together, they create a "magical commerce center" where both tourists and wizards can find their own stories within this expanded setting.
Imagine: buying wands and potions in Diagon Alley during the day, and then warming up in the Hogsmeade tavern at night. This integration makes the player's magical world feel even more real.
Return to Hogwarts Celebration
