LEGO’s newest Harry Potter set heads straight into the iconic wizarding world location of Diagon Alley with more than 5,500 pieces of buildable magic. It includes all of the must-visit shops, such as Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, and Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes.
The set is about 11 inches tall, 40 inches wide, and 5 inches deep. In other words: it’s monstrous. This may make it difficult for younger kids to build, giving it a suggested age of 16 and up.
Those who build it can choose to display the modular shops in a row or place them on different shelves. Marcos Bessa, the lead of the team behind creating the set, said that each shop takes on the details of the films, some of which they had to dig down old photographs of because they whizzed past too quickly on the screen.
Fourteen minifigures that come with the set include Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, the Weasley twins, Hermione Granger, Gilderoy Lockhart, Florean Fortescue, the Daily Prophet photographer, and more.
Gather your galleons: Diagon Alley will go up for sale tomorrow for $399.99 on LEGO’s website.
