LEGO has revealed an updated, humongous 5544pcs LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley which features the famous shopping street from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Stunning recreations of locations along Diagon Alley such as the Ollivanders Wand Shop, Sribbulus Writing Implements, Quality Quidditch Supplies, the Daily Prophet, Florean Fortescues’s Ice Cream Parlour, Flourish & Blotts bookseller, Weasleys Wizard Wheezes and even the entryway to Knockturn Alley can be built with this set.
The set have been designed; led by Marcos Bessa, design lead for LEGO Harry Potter, as such so that each building is detachable from each other and you can either display them as a whole street or as separate individual buildings. Modularity has always been a welcome feature of LEGO buildings.
It also features 14 various minifigures from Harry Potter to Gilderoy Lockhard and even introduces Florian Fortescue and the Daily Prophet photographer which have never been immortalized in LEGO before. We spot some new elements and recolours and we can’t wait for the designer video which we will share on our facebook page once it’s released.
The previous version of LEGO Diagon Alley was released way back in 2011 so this is a very welcome new take on the street. Read on for the full press release and also find the full gallery inserted at the end of this article. The set will be up for sale starting on the 1st of September 2020 at all LEGO stores.
THE MAGICAL WORLDS OF LEGO AND HARRY POTTER COME TOGETHER AGAIN WITH NEW LEGO DIAGON ALLEY SET
1st September 2020: Launching today, the spectacular new LEGO® Harry Potter® set allows fans to be transported to the most magical shopping street in the world, now in brick form!
Diagon Alley™ is one of the most iconic locations in the Wizarding World. It’s where Harry Potter gets his first glimpse of the exciting new world he is about to join, as he’s guided through the magical shopping street by Hagrid. And now LEGO and Harry Potter fans alike can build and create the iconic street in their own homes.
The set brings the two worlds together in a magical hybrid: a rich and versatile display model, with a modularity aspect that allows fans to choose how to display the shops (all in a row, swapping them around, or even placing individual shops on different shelves!).
Measuring more than a meter wide and made up of over 5,000 pieces, LEGO Diagon Alley features the famed wizarding world shops packed with authentic details from the movies to truly capture the ambience of the street.
Behind magnificent and detailed storefronts lie intriguing interiors, fascinating features and familiar characters. Fans can recreate some of their favourite moments from the Harry Potter film series including; discovering the wands at Ollivanders™ from Harry Potter and the Philosophers / Sorcerer’s Stone dropping in on Gilderoy Lockhart™’s book-signing event at Flourish & Blotts™ bookstore from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets; or obtaining a love potion from Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes™ from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Marcos Bessa, LEGO Harry Potter Design Lead commented: “I love how faithful the final design is to the architectural details in the film. You can barely see some of these buildings zooming past your screen, but we tracked down different photographs from the sets – some of them from nearly 20 years ago – to make sure everything is spot on. Diagon Alley is the biggest set I’ve designed to-date and I am really proud of how it has come together.”
The set also includes 14 minifigures, including new versions of lead characters Harry, Ron, Hermione and of course George and Fred Weasley who have their own joke shop in Diagon Alley. There are also minifigures of Florean Fortescue and the Daily Prophet photographer, who have never been seen in LEGO form before.
With Christmas just around the corner, the LEGO Diagon Alley set makes an impressive and inspiring gift for Harry Potter and LEGO enthusiasts alike.
LEGO® Harry Potter® Diagon Alley™ set is available directly from LEGO Stores and www.LEGO.com/EnterTheMagic from 1st September, 2020
