LEGO Harry Potter Back to Hogwarts event confirmed – sales, free gifts and more

The LEGO Group has announced a brand new ‘Back to Hogwarts’ promotional event, which will include new sets, free gifts and discounts on LEGO Harry Potter products.

Running from September 1 to 10, the Back to Hogwarts event will include the debut of ‘new sets, gifts, sales, challenges and more’, exclusively at LEGO.com and in LEGO Stores. At the moment, we know that 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition and 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds are both launching on September 1 (the former exclusively for LEGO Insiders until September 4), alongside this year’s Harry Potter advent calendar.

The splash page for the promo also points to the previously-announced make-and-take event in LEGO Stores for a Harry Potter wand, while instructions are available online for fans without a LEGO Store in close proximity. Elsewhere, there's the designer signings for 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition with Justin Ramsden, Peter Kjaergaard and George Gilliatt.

LEGO.com only lists four dates for the designer signing tour, but the designers themselves have confirmed seven in total – check out the table below for a full round-up of those.

LEGO Store location	Date	Time
LEGO Store Leicester Square, London	September 1	3pm to 5pm
LEGO Store Passage de la Canopée, Paris	September 2	11am to 1pm
LEGO Store Kalverstraat 57, Amsterdam	September 3	10am to 12pm
LEGO Store Warsaw	September 4	5pm to 7pm
LEGO Store Parquesur, Madrid	September 9	10am to 12pm
LEGO Store San Babila, Milan	September 10	10am to 12pm
LEGO Store Lisbon	September 16	10 to 12pm

Further details – such as what the free gifts will be, which sets will be included in the sale, and what the challenges will encompass – have yet to be confirmed, but all will presumably be revealed on September 1. A discount on 75978 Diagon Alley to mark Gringotts’ debut would be timely (if not especially likely), while any gift-with-purchase is sure to tie into the new Wizarding World direct-to-consumer set.
