Overview
The Knight Bus is one of the most iconic modes of transportation in the Harry Potter series, and LEGO has put a lot of effort into designing this set. Compared to the 2019 version, the 2025 edition of the Knight Bus has many improvements, especially in terms of design and part usage. For example, the use of brand-new curved elements makes the rear section of the bus look smoother and more natural, with even more refined details.
The entire set is designed as a modular structure, which can be built in three separate sections. This design not only enhances the building experience but also makes disassembly and display more flexible. If you're a LEGO enthusiast, you will definitely enjoy this diverse construction style.
The front of the box prominently features the Knight Bus, while the bottom right corner showcases classic characters from the movies, such as Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. On the left bottom side, a row of chairs is depicted with mini-figures neatly seated, creating an adorable scene. The back of the box features large illustrations, along with various scenes where mini-figures are engaged in different activities, making the set feel vivid and immersive.
The set is divided into four numbered bags, ensuring a stress-free building experience. It also includes a clear instruction manual that guides you through the entire construction process step by step.
With this LEGO adventure set, we can relive the unforgettable scenes from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban™. Whether you are an experienced LEGO builder or a young wizard just starting your magical journey, this is a perfect challenge.
Details & Innovations
The LEGO Knight Bus™ Adventure 76446 takes this classic scene to the next level. It’s not just a static display piece—you can interact with the mini-figures and experience the thrill of a magical journey.
One of the most impressive aspects of this set is its attention to detail. The windows are made with newly designed transparent elements, enhancing the refined look of the bus while giving it a more modern feel. Additionally, the set incorporates innovative elements, such as new painted pieces and modular components, making the Knight Bus more realistic in appearance while adding more challenges and fun during construction.
The interior structure is equally captivating. On the second floor, you’ll find a movable bed and tiny decorative details. What’s more, when you move the bus, the bed sways back and forth, creating a dynamic effect. This adds a new level of interaction to the build.
Although there are some minor flaws in the design, such as the rear section lacking enough curved pieces for a perfect cover-up, which might be slightly disappointing to eagle-eyed LEGO fans, these small issues don’t affect the overall quality of the set. In fact, they make this Knight Bus even more unique.
Minifigures and accessories
1. Dog
This puppy uses classic LEGO dog parts and is black in color, simple yet sophisticated. Its body proportions are just right, and it can easily fit into any scene. The puppy's face print is very vivid, and its eyes are lively and cute, as if full of curiosity about the world. Whether it appears as a pet in Harry Potter's magical world or accompanies other minifigures, it can add a lot of fun. Its base is cleverly designed to be firmly fixed on three studs, so you don't have to worry about its unstable position during the construction process.
2. Harry Potter
This Harry Potter minifigure is an upgraded new version, with a more refined overall shape and richer details than before. His torso and prints have been improved to show a higher level of craftsmanship. Harry wears the iconic blue plaid shirt, which appears many times in the movie and is one of his most classic outfits. The lower body is brown pants, which complements the top and perfectly restores the image in the movie.
In terms of expression design, this Harry doll provides two interchangeable facial expressions, one is a gentle smile, showing his friendly and confident side, and the other is a slightly uneasy expression, as if he is thinking about how to cope with the challenges of the magical world. This double-sided printing design allows players to switch the character's emotions according to different scenes, adding more playability.
3. Night Bus Conductor-Stan Shunpike
Stan Shunpike is the conductor of the Night Knight Bus. In this new Lego doll, his image has been significantly improved compared to the 2019 version.
He wears a purple uniform, and the coat and shirt are both delicately printed, showing a more realistic texture. The shape of the hat is also very outstanding, perfectly replicating the shape in the movie, increasing the recognition of the character. In addition, he carries a brown messenger bag, as if he is ready to provide night bus ticketing services to passengers at any time.
Compared with the previous version, his facial printing is also more delicate, his facial features are more clearly portrayed, and his expressions are rich and vivid. Although the ticket machine is missing from the accessories this time, the overall shape is still satisfactory, especially the copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand, which is printed with the news headline "Escape from Azkaban" and the wanted poster of Sirius Black, which instantly reminds people of the classic plot in the movie.
4. Ernie Prin
As the driver of the Night Knight Bus, Ernie Prin's image is also highly restored. He wears a green suit and a very chic vest, and the overall shape is full of British gentleman style.
His face print is very interesting, with a pair of round glasses, and the eyes behind the lenses reveal a hint of wisdom and experience. In addition, there are delicate wrinkles on his face, showing the traces of time, but these wrinkles are cleverly concealed by the design, making the doll look both graceful and not too old. The most interesting thing is his head accessory-a bald hair piece. This detail design is the finishing touch, which perfectly restores the image of Ernie in the movie and adds a bit of humor to the whole character.
5. Witch
This mysterious witch seems to be in a dream, leaning quietly on the seat. Her head accessory is a classic black witch hat, which symbolizes her identity and adds a touch of mystery.
Her costume design is also quite exquisite, with fine prints on the torso, showing the unique style of the magic world. Whether she is used as a passenger in the night bus or used to build other magic scenes, it can bring rich playability.
6. Street lamps and chairs
This set of accessories is the finishing touch of the night knight bus scene.
The yellow building block street lamp adds a retro atmosphere to the scene, making people feel the warm lights on the street at night. It is not only a highly decorative element, but also can be used to simulate the scene before the bus arrives in the movie.
At the same time, the brown bench is also carefully designed, enough for the little doll to sit comfortably and wait for the arrival of the night bus. Although these small accessories seem simple, they can play a finishing touch when building the scene, making the whole night knight bus story more complete.
7. Box
Harry's suitcase also contains rich details. Inside the box, you can find an acceptance letter from Hogwarts™, which is one of the most representative items in the wizarding world, symbolizing the official start of Harry's magical journey.
In addition, there are more small accessories in the box, allowing players to freely use their imagination to create their own magical world.
BUILDING EXPERIENCE
This iconic Night Bus has four sections, each of which can be easily disassembled, allowing you to quickly explore its interior. While its structure may be a little fragile, the overall design is excellent and shows unique building ingenuity. In addition, there are many exquisite details hidden inside and outside the cabin waiting for you to discover and appreciate.
Ground floor
The front of the Night Bus is full of exquisite details. The first thing that catches your eye is the grill made of stickers. Although it is just a decoration, the printing quality of the stickers is extremely high, making it look very realistic.
Transparent round building blocks are installed on both sides to simulate headlights, perfectly recreating the iconic look of the Night Bus. After all, lights are indispensable for traveling in the dark! In addition, there is an additional sticker on the front of the car, showing the large lighting on the roof, which enhances the overall visual impact.
The cockpit inside the car is designed to be spacious and can easily accommodate the Ernie Prinn figure. He can sit comfortably in the driver's seat and leave enough room to operate the steering wheel. Since there are no closed walls on the side of the bus, the driver can even stick his head out to check the road ahead. This open design not only increases interactivity, but also restores the classic scene in the movie.
However, when you splice the second layer to the first layer, the driver's movable space will be limited to a certain extent, and he can no longer stick his head out to look around at will. This is a balanced design between restoring the appearance and actual operation.
One of the highlights inside the car is a pink bed that can slide freely, adding a sense of dynamics to the scene. When you push the night bus forward, the bed will also slide left and right, just like in the movie, showing a wonderful floating effect! This bed is suitable for the witch to lie on it, and her feet can be firmly fixed at the bottom of the building blocks, making the whole scene more realistic.
On one side of the car, there is a small step for the puppets to get on and off the bus. Next to the step is a black handrail, which the conductor Stan Shunpike can grab with one hand to reproduce his classic posture of selling tickets half hanging outside the door, adding more playability.
On the other wall of the interior is a sticker with luggage and boxes. The suitcases are chained to prevent them from rolling around when the magic bus is driving at high speed. This small detail makes the interior of the entire bus more vivid and interesting, and also shows the designer's ingenuity. You can refer to the official cover and place Harry Potter next to the pile of luggage to recreate the scene of him riding the night bus.
The tires of the night bus are also a highlight. They use purple wheels, which are consistent with the overall body color, making them quite special. The rear wheels have studs with holes to enhance the stability of the assembly. Flat tiles are used on the front wheels and the bottom to ensure the smooth movement of the vehicle. The bottom is composed of a large piece of white building blocks, with a small exhaust pipe, showing amazing details.
Second floor:
When we enter the second floor, we will find that the design here is both magical and spacious.
On the back and side of the second floor, there is a black sticker that says "Nothing Underwater", which suggests that the bus may go to some strange destinations. There is also a yellow transparent lamp next to it, which embellishes the entire space and makes it more layered.
The floor is paved with gray building blocks to create a calm tone. The most attractive thing is still the pink sliding bed. This design not only adds visual highlights, but also enhances playability. The dolls can lie down and rest comfortably here.
There is an advertisement for Coral Daily Profit posted on the wall. Although it is just a decorative element, it adds extra fun and shows the unique atmosphere of the magic world.
Third floor
When you splice the second and third floors together, you may notice that there are some gaps in the back and they cannot be completely fitted. However, this does not affect the overall stability, and the entire structure can still operate smoothly.
The most attractive part of the third floor is undoubtedly the chandelier, which is a swingable design that allows it to swing with the bus when it is moving, adding a sense of dynamics. The chandelier is made up of several transparent crystal blocks, and its structure is small but very delicate.
Next to the chandelier, there are three magic bottles, in coral and lavender, neatly arranged on the wall of the car, showing a magic laboratory atmosphere. At the same time, the arc structure at the rear of the car is perfectly designed, making the appearance of the entire bus more smooth and natural.
Top floor
The top floor design of the night bus is relatively simple, mainly to complete the roof structure of the entire bus. You need to install a large top plate at the end and cover it firmly on the roof. Although this part of the structure is not complicated, it can ensure the integrity of the overall shape.
A small regret
If you want to be picky, the only shortcoming is that the black part in the center of the top floor is not completely covered. This may make some players feel a little visually inconsistent, but from the overall point of view, it will not affect the experience of building.
Compared with 2019
The 2004, 2019, and 2025 versions of the LEGO Night Bus have changed significantly in design, detail, and accuracy. The 2004 version is relatively simple, but comes with a small side scene, including an adjustable lamp post, benches, small shrubs, and an openable box, which enhances the overall interactivity. The designers of this version particularly emphasized the unique structure of the lamp post, which allows it to be tilted and moved, adding playability. In addition, although the bench adopts a smooth flat design and cannot hold the minifigures, the overall shape is still simple and practical. However, the 2004 Night Bus is relatively basic in overall structure, with low degree of detail restoration, and is slightly rough compared with subsequent versions.
The 2019 version has been improved in many aspects, making the bus more in line with the image in the movie. First, it is more accurate in window design, using smoother curved glass, making the body structure more compact, avoiding the gap problem in the 2004 version. In addition, the top layer of this version is removable, which facilitates access to the interior space, while retaining classic elements such as the sliding bed and rotating seats, which increases playability. One of the most popular details among fans is the Shrunken Head in the car, which is an iconic setting in the movie, making the 2019 version better in terms of movie restoration. Overall, this version has achieved a good balance between structure, appearance and playability.
The 2025 version has reached new heights in modern design and detail optimization. Compared with the 2019 version, its overall size is larger, the appearance is more refined, and the body structure is tighter, avoiding the larger assembly gaps in the early versions, making it look more smooth and stylish. However, this version removed the iconic element of the Shrunken Head, which made many fans regretful. In addition, although the new version has optimized the proportions of the driver's seat, windows and body, the window curve treatment at certain angles is still controversial. However, overall, the 2025 Night Bus has reached a new level in modern design and appearance refinement, making it the most elegant one.
