Comparisons
The Wizarding World came to LEGO in 2001, bringing Hogwarts Castle and its
magical inhabitants to brick form. The theme ran through 2011, took a break,
then returned triumphantly in 2018 with larger, more detailed sets.
The revival era has produced some of LEGO's most impressive builds, including
the massive Hogwarts Castle (71043) and the collector-focused Diagon Alley
(75978). The theme continues to expand with Hogwarts Icons and modular sets.
