Many of the best LEGO sets are builds that both adults and kids can enjoy. This is an area where a lot of the more popular Harry Potter LEGO sets truly shine. As a franchise crossover, Harry Potter has a great mix of fun builds that are meant to be played with and sets that are specifically meant to be displayed. Both of these types of sets are currently on sale during Amazon's October Prime Day event.
One of the best Prime Day LEGO deals we've found so far is the Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set, which is now down to the same low price it was on Prime Day earlier this year. If you're hoping to pick up a gift for the Harry Potter fan in your life, this sale makes it a great time to do so.
LEGO Harry Potter Sets on Sale at Amazon
All of these sets are currently at or near their lowest ever prices. The overall best discount of the bunch is the Hogwarts Castle set, which is now at the same price it was on Prime Day in July. We actually got the chance to build the Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set ourselves and loved how it turned out as a display model. This makes it a perfect pick for adults who don't plan on playing with the set too much. The other solid deal on this list is the $10 discount on the Talking Sorting Hat set, which has just received its first discount on Amazon. We got the chance to build the Harry Potter Sorting Hat set as well and deemed it a worthy addition to any fan's collection. It's a solid pick if you're looking for a Halloween-themed LEGO set to put together in October.
If you're looking for more kid-friendly sets, there are also some really good options within this sale. The Chamber of Secrets LEGO set includes a ton of minifigures as well as a posable Basilisk. This is a great set to buy if you want a bunch of Harry Potter characters within a single purchase. At a lower price point, there's also a buildable Hedwig that is adorable and easy to put together.
Should You Wait for October Prime Day or Black Friday to Buy?
Although it's true that October Prime Day is happening next week, we've found so far in 2024 that the best time to buy LEGO sets is whenever the discounts drop to their lowest prices. It's certainly possible that the price cuts on these particular Harry Potter sets could drop lower when Amazon's sale kicks off next week, but it likely wouldn't be by much more. Some of these discounts are the first ones we've seen, so it's a great time to snap them up while you can.
As for waiting for Black Friday 2024, it's hard to say. We will likely see similar prices as we are seeing right now. It's also worth noting that none of the sets we've featured here are set to expire in 2024, so you should be able to wait without worrying about missing out completely on your chance to buy.
