Amazon is continuing offering savings on LEGO Harry Potter sets, with the latest discounted kit coming in the shape of the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition. Here’s what you can expect.

A must-have LEGO Harry Potter set for Potterheads, this LEGO-reimagined Hogwarts Express model has to be one of the best LEGO Harry Potter Collectors’ Edition sets. You will have to be aged 18 and up to board, though. 

Comprising of 5129 bricks and featuring an arrangement of authentic elements, this kit is sure to provide Wizarding World whizzes with a rewarding building experience and playing experience. Indeed, you are never too old to immerse yourself in the latter. In addition, this set includes a host of minifigures to allow you to do so. 

What’s more, when you are done, it will look great when displayed next to your other Harry Potter memorabilia. You will have to make some space on your shelf, though. This 1:32-scale, brick-built steam train measures 46.5 inches long, 10.5 inches tall, and eight inches wide. It’s undoubtedly worthy of centerpiece status.

So, what highlights does this LEGO replica of this iconic steam train (of course, LEGO offers another in the shape of The Orient Express) include? There’s a myriad. For starters, the locomotive is equipped with a lever, allowing you to recreate the realistic motion of the original model as it sits on tracks. A coal tender, which carries the engine’s coal supply, is also present.

There’s also a passenger car with a trio of compartments. A neat addition to this set, each compartment depicts an iconic scene from three Harry Potter movies.

You can recreate the moment Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet for the first time in Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone; when Professor Lupin saves Harry from a Dementor in Harry Potter and the Prison of Azkaban; and when Luna saves Harry from Draco’s spell in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. There are also three light bricks for these moments.

But those are only the scenes that took place on the Hogwarts Express. Featuring a buildable Platform 9¾, this kit allows you to relive another iconic moment — when Harry and Ginny’s son, Albus Severus, departs on his first trip to Hogwarts

So, there was mention of a host of minifigures? Indeed. There are a total of 20, which includes adult Harry and Ginny, their children, and all of the characters mentioned so far. 

This intricately detailed LEGO Harry Potter set is, as mentioned, a must-have. It is a sure-fire collectible. 

In addition, it will make for a great gift for Harry Potter fans, whether it is for yourself or a fellow Potterhead. So, why not grab it now? Amazon has discounted this kit by 12%.
