The year has just begun and there are already first rumors about the LEGO Harry Potter Summer 2023 sets!
After the new March sets, a total of 9 more LEGO Harry Potter sets are expected to be released over the course of the year. Thanks to Promobricks, we now know what these new releases will be about.
The majority of the new sets will be released on June 1st.
Expecto Patronum (76414)
Back in 2019 there was already a set called Expecto Patronum. However, we will probably not get a 1 to 1 remake here. With 754 pieces and a price of $64.99 the new set will probably be at least 3 times as big. Furthermore, the scene from part 3 would not be the only one that comes into question for the name Expecto Patronum.
Among other things, it could be the scene from The Deathly Hallows in which Aberforth Dumbledore produces his goat Patronus. However, the doe by Severus Snape that lures Harry to the pond while camping in the forest of dean seems more likely to us, or even the "Always" scene in Dumbledore's office. However, this is just speculation so far.
- Name: Expecto Patronum
- Set Number: 76414
- Pieces: 754
- Minifigures: ?
- Release: June 1st
- Price: $64.99
The Battle of Hogwarts (76415)
While it seems very likely that several of the new summer sets could be based on Harry Potter Part 7, the Battle of Hogwarts is the only one that we can be reasonably sure that it is, judging by its name.
For $84.99 we could probably get another part of Hogwarts Castle here, which should probably be able to be connected to the other sets if the current comibination system will be continued.
On the other hand, since more details about the set are still missing, we could also be surprised with a completely different implementation. Many fans also speculate, that it's possible that we could get the set in form of a diorama.
What we do know however, is that the Battle of Hogwarts will include a total of 730 pieces.
- Name: The Battle of Hogwarts
- Set Number: 76415
- Pieces: 730
- Minifigures: ?
- Release: June 1st
- Price: $84.99
Quidditch Trunk (76416)
After the magical trunk was released last year, there will be another trunk from the Wizarding World this year. This time it's more precisely the Quidditch Trunk, in which the Quaffle, the Snitch and the two Bludgers are kept. The set will consist of 599 pieces and will cost $64.99.
- Name: Quidditch Trunk
- Set Number: 76416
- Pieces: 599
- Minifigures: ?
- Release: June 1st
- Price: $64.99
Gringotts Bank (76417)
Next we come to what is arguably the most anticipated Harry Potter set since the theme was relaunched in 2018, the Gringotts Bank.
After the bank was missing in the big Diagon Alley set from 2020, it's now rumored to be released as a separate one with 4803 pieces for a whopping $429.99, i.e. for more than Diagon Alley itself.
Whether the set will live up to the price remains to be seen. However, according to the rumours, the set will not only consist of the towering white building, but should also include an underground railway system!
Also with Gringotts it's unfortunately not yet clear on which part of Harry Potter the set will be based and whether the dragon from the Deathly Hallows will be included.
Just like the LEGO Harry Potter D2C sets of previous years, the set will be released in September.
- Name: Gringotts Bank
- Set Number: 76417
- Pieces: 4803
- Minifigures: ?
- Release: September
- Price: $429.99
Gringotts Vault Promo
This time there will also be a promotional set for a Harry Potter D2C set for the first time. Matching Gringotts, this is rumored to be a vault of the bank consisting of 212 pieces. According to our guesses, it will probably be given away as a gift when purchasing Gringotts on release.
- Name: Gringotts Vault
- Set Number: [40598]
- Pieces: [212]
- Minifigures: ?
- Release: September
- Price: gift with purchase
Hogwarts Castle & Grounds (76419)
The second largest of the new sets is said to be a new implementation of the Hogwarts Castle. What is special, however, is that the surrounding grounds will also be implemented in the set.
This one is rumored to hit shelves at $159.99 and will consist of 2260 pieces.
Since the price per piece ratio seems to be pretty good, we assume that the set could be released in microscale and therefore includes lots of small pieces.
- Name: Hogwarts Castle & Grounds
- Set Number: 76419
- Pieces: 2260
- Minifigures: ?
- Release: September 1st
- Price: $159.99
Buildable Dobby the House Elf (76421)
The line of buildable creatures in the LEGO Harry Potter theme is also rumored to continue this year. Next up is no other than Dobby the House Elf as a buildable figure.
The set will consist of 403 pieces and will cost $39.99. in addition to Dobby himself, a brick built sock and cake should also be included.
- Name: Dobby the House Elf

- Pieces: 403
- Minifigures: 1?
- Release: June 1st
- Price: $39.99
Weasleys Wizard Wheezes (76422)
Although it was already included in the big Diagon Alley from 2020, there will be another set of the Weasley twins' shop this summer. This time Weasleys Wizard Wheezes will presumably be released in a smaller playscale version.
The store will consist of 834 pieces and will cost $89.99. The set is said to include 8 Minifigures in total, 2 of which will most likely be Fred and George. However, further details about the figures aren't yet known.

Hogwarts Express & Hogsmeade Station (76423)
With the last of the new sets, now that the old one from 2018 is off the market, there will be a new playscale Hogwarts Express. As with the last set, a part of the station should also be included this time.
This time, however, this won't be platform 9 3/4, but instead Hogsmeade Station. The $129.99 set is said to contain a total of 1074 pieces and 8 Minifigures.
- Name: Hogwarts Express & Hogsmeade Station
