Lego - The LEGO® Group Unveils a New Harry Potter Magic Case: The Burrow, House of the Weasleys

By Mulder, 20 august 2024

The LEGO® Group has once again captured the imagination of fans of the wizarding world by unveiling a new addition to its LEGO® Harry Potter™ collection. Announced today, the LEGO® Harry Potter™: The Burrow - Collector's Edition set invites fans of J.K. Rowling's magical world to recreate the iconic Weasley family home, known for its wobbly appearance and inimitable charm. This meticulous replica, with its ingenious blend of creativity and nostalgia, is sure to win the admiration of LEGO® and Harry Potter™ fans alike.

The Burrow, with its staggered floors, crooked walls and warm atmosphere, is a true Muggle dream home. This collectible set has been designed to capture the essence of the Weasley home, a place where magic meets everyday life. Every detail has been carefully thought out, from the functional fireplace, perfect for connecting to the Chimney Dust Network, to the self-washing dishes, evoking memorable scenes from books and films.
The set also includes a series of 10 minifigures, giving fans the chance to recreate iconic moments with key characters like Ginny Weasley™, Ron Weasley™, Harry Potter™ and even Errol, the slightly clumsy but always endearing owl. With these elements, the Terrier becomes much more than just a collector's item: it's a gateway to the enchanted world of Harry Potter™.

The launch of this set couldn't come at a better time, as it coincides with the 2024 edition of “Return to Hogwarts”, an annual tradition that celebrates the Harry Potter™ universe on September 1. This year, LEGO® has planned a host of special animations and promotions to mark the event. Fans will not only be able to enrich their collection with the Terrier, but also enjoy exclusive gifts and participate in in-store activities.

Among the gifts offered during this special period, LEGO® Harry Potter™ fans will be able to get the 40695 LEGO® Harry Potter™ Barjow and Beurk - the Chimney Network set, a perfect addition to complete the Burrow. This model includes a minifigure of Lucius Malfoy and a detailed interior section of the Barjow & Beurk store, with a chimney that also works with the Chimney Powder Network. Available with any LEGO® Harry Potter™ purchase of €130 or more between September 1 and 10, this gift is a unique opportunity for collectors.

Another exclusive gift, this time reserved for LEGO Insiders members, the Weasley clock (reference 5009008) will be offered with the purchase of the LEGO® Harry Potter™: The Burrow - Collector's Edition set. This clock, which may not be very useful for telling the time, is nevertheless an iconic object, capable of tracking the location of members of the Weasley family. This gift will be available during the same period and is a must-have collector's item for fans of the saga.

For younger children or fans of small constructions, another mini-set, 30677 LEGO® Harry Potter™ Draco in the Forbidden Forest, will also be offered with any LEGO® Harry Potter™ purchase of £40 or more. This set features Draco Malfoy in the mysterious Forbidden Forest, accompanied by his glow-in-the-dark lantern, an owl and a spider, to stimulate the imagination of budding builders.

In addition to these gifts, LEGO® fans can take part in in-store activities, including the construction of a miniature version of the famous Hogwarts Express. This activity, available in selected LEGO Stores between August 31 and September 8, is a great opportunity for families to share their passion for Harry Potter™ while discovering the latest LEGO® releases.

Full details of these offers and activities are available on the official LEGO® website at www.LEGO.com/BackToHogwarts, where fans can also explore other sets from the LEGO® Harry Potter™ collection and find out about future releases.
