5. Lego Harry Potter 76405 Hogwarts Express – Collector’s Edition

Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Express

The last model in this review is an authentic replica of the Harry Potter Hogwarts Express train. It is not from the Lego City collection, but from the Lego Harry Potter so it is much more detailed, and it also contains more Lego bricks – in total 5,129 pieces. The model is 10.5“ (26 cm) high, 46,5“ (118 cm) long and 8“ (20 cm) wide. Actually, it is an approximately 1:32 scale replica of a steam train.

This authentic model of the so-called Harry Potter Hogwarts Express has many interesting details like, for example, the coal tender, the engine or toad on the loose. There are also 20 minifigures included in the box, representing the characters from the Harry Potter movie. They include, for example, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy and a Dementor as well.

This building kit is the last one from my list for adults and other Harry Potter enthusiasts. It is recommended for people older than 18 years and you will definitely enjoy lots of fun when building it. Even though you can also play with this model, it is primarily made for collectors, as it contains the buildable 9 ¾ Platform as well.
