LEGO Has Rare Deals on Harry Potter Sets and Most Are Already on Backorder

LEGO has released a ton of Harry Potter sets over the years, so there's a lot to choose from. The options available range from more affordable playsets for kids to expensive builds specifically for adults. Despite so many choices available, however, it's not that often that these sets get substantial discounts. It's also pretty rare for the LEGO shop to be the retailer offering the discounts.

The LEGO Back to Hogwarts event kicked off on Labor Day and is set to run through September 7. Alongside a new Hogsmeade set launching this week, LEGO Insiders can find discounts on a few of the more popular builds from previous years. Almost all of these sets are on backorder already, but you can still order them at the discounted price with delayed shipping. You'll need to be an insider to get the deal, but it's free to join.

LEGO Harry Potter Sets on Sale Today

There are a total of four LEGO Harry Potter sets currently discounted in this sale. All of these builds have had their prices reduced by a flat 20% for LEGO Insiders only (you can sign up here for free), and the deals are set to last through September 7 or as long as stock lasts. Considering three of these sets are already on backorder, it seems possible stock could actually run out before the sale ends. You can still purchase a set on backorder, but you'll need to make note of the delayed shipping date before you do. Sometimes it can be 60 days or more.

The most expensive set in this sale is the Hogwarts Icons Collector's Edition. This is a pretty massive build at over 3,000 pieces and it is meant specifically for the 18+ crowd. The set includes a very realistic LEGO Hedwig as well as other life-sized recognizable objects from the series. This includes Harry's glasses, a Golden Snitch, a chocolate frog, and a letter from Hogwarts.

Next up is the Triwizard Tournament set. Fans of the franchise will recognize both the ship and the carriage featured here from the fourth movie in the series: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The set itself includes the Durmstrang ship and The Beaxbatons Carriage carrying the rival students that arrived at Hogwarts to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. It also includes five minifigures, including Viktor Krum, Igor Karkaroff, and Fleur Delacour. There's also a little Goblet of Fire as well.

For those looking to build a little piece of Diagon Alley, there is also a set that includes both Ollivanders wand shop and Madam Malkin's Robes. This set was released back in June 2024 and hasn't really seen any significant discounts since then. It's not as impressive as the massive Diagon Alley set that launched back in January of this year, but it's certainly much more affordable. It also comes with six minifigures, including Ollivander himself.

Finally, the cheapest build in this sale is a little Hagrid's Hut set. There have been a few versions of Hagrid's Hut released over the years, but this particular model is based on how it looked in The Sorcerer's Stone. That means it includes minifigures of Hagrid, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, Norbet, and Fang. The hut itself has a removable roof that can be opened up allowing for play.
