Magical family activities with LEGO® Harry Potter™

Whether your family is as large as the Weasleys or small like Neville Longbottom™ and his grandmother, coming together for fun activities is important. But constantly finding new things to do, places to go and games to play can be challenging.

With LEGO® Harry Potter™, you have the entire Wizarding World™ at your fingertips! Not only can you build the LEGO sets together, but you can also dive into the Harry Potter universe. This can lead to hours of fun family activity, fostering important bonding and making magical moments in the process.

Building and (carefully) repotting Mandrakes

Don’t worry, you don’t have to bring actual Mandrakes into your home – you and your family can repot LEGO Mandrakes instead! Far less likely to scream (or so we think).

Instead of spending an afternoon with everyone’s hands getting dirty in the garden, you can switch things up and build and pot a LEGO Mandrake as a family. Building the set together is perfect for family bonding.

Once you have created your Mandrake, you can pot and unpot it as you wish. When you remove it completely, you’ll reveal the iconic creature’s roots. You can even animate its mouth and limbs as if it’s screaming – just be sure to put earmuffs on the littlest members of your family before you do!

Explore Hogwarts™ castle

Ready for some family exploration?

You won’t have to venture very far. With the LEGO Hogwarts™ Castle: The Great Hall set, you’ve got the perfect family activity as you build it together and bring the famous school to life.

And then it’s time for your imagination to take over, as you get to be a student at the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry! Explore together, looking up at the famous floating candles and enchanted sky of the hall. Venture through the courtyard and down the steps through the dungeon’s secret entrance – but be careful, as there may be trolls lurking down there! Best to go straight to the Hufflepuff™ common room to relax.

Search for magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest™

Are you brave enough to enter the Forbidden Forest™?

Maybe as a family, it will be a little less scary! With the LEGO Forbidden Forest: Magical Creatures set, you can build the Forbidden Forest together and spend time exploring it with the Hermione Granger™ and Ron Weasley™ minifigures. They come equipped with lanterns to light the way, and their wands so they can also defend you!

Discover kind creatures like a baby Thestral and Buckbeak™ – but you should also keep an eye out. Is that a Cornish Pixie flying around? Be careful it doesn’t grab your ears and fly away with you!

Learn everything about potion-making in Potions class

Encourage enchanting learning with a Potions lesson at home!

With the LEGO Hogwarts Castle: Potion Class set, you and your family can join Hermione Granger and Pansy Parkinson for a magical lesson like no other.

Spend the day building the set together, and then have someone stand up and teach! You can all try your hand at your best Severus Snape™ impression, guiding the rest of the family through potion-making. The set has a few details to help your imagination, such as a blackboard with potion-making instructions, bottles of potion ingredient elements to stir in the cauldron and other equipment to inspire creative play.

How about a camping trip to Hagrid’s hut?

Camping is fun, but when time is short or the weather is as grey as Dumbledore’s beard, it’s not always the best option.

Instead, why not dream of a magical family camping experience while playing with the LEGO Hagrid’s Hut: An Unexpected Visit set. After building it together, you can pay an unexpected camping visit to the gamekeeper’s hut. Here you’ll find Hagrid™, Harry, Hermione and Ron as well as Hagrid’s pet dog, Fang. What a perfect place to pretend to have a camping adventure!

Family bonding awaits!

The LEGO® Harry Potter™ universe is brimming with adventures and activities for your family to explore.

With each set, there is no limit to your imagination – your family is in control, whether you are recreating iconic scenes from the Wizarding World™ or conjuring up entirely new ones. Not only is it the perfect opportunity for family bonding, but it is also one more way to make your everyday more magical.
