Forget back to school. Take your kids Back to Hogwarts with LEGO

Every fall, LEGO celebrates the day when young witches and wizards return to Hogwarts for another year of adventures.

The official LEGO Back to Hogwarts 2026 shopping event starts Aug.

29 and runs through Sept.

6.

Whether you’re from Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin — fans young and old will want to get their paws on the two new Harry Potter LEGO sets, limited-time gifts, and geek-out-worthy brick merch from your favorite fantastical world.

Plus, your kiddos can hone their real-life building skills with the intuitive LEGO Builder app.

Now that’s something even Muggle parents can obsess about.

Here’s a sampling of what the event has up its sleeve: Early access to the new Ministry of Magic collector’s set Opens in a new window Credit: LEGO The Ministry of Magic Collector’s Edition $449.99 at LEGO Shop Now The massive 3,491-piece set has three different levels for builders 18 years and older, including a subway station and the Hall of Prophecies.

Kids will love flushing the 14 mini-figures from the public restroom down into the Ministry.

Collectors will love the golden wizard statue and 25th-anniversary Lynx Patronus figure.

A new Mini Hogwarts Castle casts its spell Opens in a new window Credit: LEGO Mini Hogwarts Castle $39.99 at LEGO Shop Now This 700-piece set stands only 5.5 inches high, but it packs infinite adventures for ages 10 and up.

Kids can build microscale versions of the Great Hall and Astronomy Tower, lift up the East Wing to reveal the ancient Chamber of Secrets, and gaze into the Mirror of Erised.

When the Harry Potter and Hedwig owl mini-figures take flight on Harry’s broomstick, the magic is real.

Score cool gifts until Sept.
