Harry Potter and LEGO have been fitting together in perfect harmony for quite some time. There are a ton of different Harry Potter LEGO sets you can choose from, but my top recommendation would be the Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set. We actually had the chance to build this set ourselves and loved it. It's also surprisingly affordable compared to some of the other sets of this size. For more great options, we've gathered more of our top picks for all ages below. There's also a new Book Nook Hogwarts Express that released in June alongside a bunch of new Harry Potter sets like the interactive Choming Monster Book of Monsters I had the chance to build myself

And if you're looking for something holiday specific, LEGO has already released the 2025 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar.

For fans of the Harry Potter books specifically, there are a surprising number of options available. The items we'd most recommend are the illustrated editions. These are beautiful works of art illustrated by Jim Kay that bring the magic of the story to life. Only the first five books have gotten this treatment, but they are a wonderful gift to give that I have actually even purchased for myself. It was announced just this year that a new artist will be working illustrating the final two books in the series, so you'll eventually be able to finish your collection if you start one.

Outside of that, there are actually are interactive illustrated editions of the series that include both artwork and papercraft. The first three of those books are available now with artwork by MinaLima, and there was a fourth released in October from a new artist. You can also check out our guide to books like Harry Potter for recommendations outside the series or dive into more gift recommendations below.

For fans of the Harry Potter movies specifically, the top gift I'd recommend is this 4K UHD and Blu-ray film collection. It includes all eight of the original movies in both glorious 4K and Blu-ray and comes packaged in one set. Although you can currently watch all of the films on Max, it's always good to have physical copies on hand. Separately, the three-film collection of the Fantastic Beasts movies is a worthy addition. We have more suggestions below that are great for any fan of the films, including a replica of the Elder Wand and a movie poster puzzle that covers all of the films.

There have been more Harry Potter games than most people even realize, but if you're looking for the absolute best option in 2024, Hogwarts Legacy is the way to go. This game actually takes place long before Harry was even born, but is still set in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the castle grounds. I personally found it's worth playing just for the ability to roam freely around the castle, and IGN actually gave it a glowing review when it first came out thanks to it's expansive world. Outside of this game, we recommend the LEGO Harry Potter video games that were remastered for modern consoles. There's also a slew of Harry Potter board games that are fun for the whole family and one of the coolest chess sets you'll ever play chess with.

If you're looking for a good Harry Potter gift for someone that seems to already own everything Potter-themed, home decor items are a great way to go. My top pick is an item that I've actually purchased for my brother already. This Marauder's Map throw blanket is super soft and doesn't have to be displayed anywhere – but it's there when you want to bundle up and be warm. We've also included some additional home decor gifts below that are fairly innocuous, like the small Golden Snitch lamp and a mug.

If you're looking for a good gift for the chronic puzzler in your life, there are a surprising number of options. I've seen a ton of different Harry Potter puzzles throughout the years, but the Herbology scientific poster jigsaw puzzle is my favorite. It depicts a hand-drawn classification of different ingredients you'd find in your standard Herbology class at Hogwarts and is a more subtle nod to the franchise that is fun to put together.

Outside of this particular option, there are plenty of other cool Harry Potter puzzles to choose from for fans of any age.

When Does Harry Potter Merch Go on Sale?

If you're looking to save as much money as possible on gifts, there are a few different times of year when we'd expect to find discounts on Harry Potter merchandise. For 2025, the biggest sales are alreaady done. That included Amazon Prime Day, Prime Big Deal Days sale in October, and of course, Black Friday season. These are two of the best times of the year to buy gifts. Amazon will be looking to unload stock of older items with it's fall sale in preparation for November when we expect most things will start going on sale to some degree.

Outside of major sales, there's also Back to Hogwarts Day which took place in early September this year. This was essentially a short series of announcements timed to coincide with the same time of year when youg witches and wizards would be receiving their letters and heading back to the magical castle for the school year. This year there were some surprisingly good deals on LEGO sets as well as a new Hogsmeade set.
