Diagon Alley

£370 / 5544 pieces

In the realm of Lego, Harry Potter and chums spend an awful lot of time traipsing around beige castle sets. Diagon Alley feels much more magical and alive with its row of vibrant shops.

This is the longest official Lego set ever made. Once you’ve yelped ‘Episkey’ to stop your fingers howling from having pushed down over 5000 pieces, you’ll be staring at a street scene that’s over 1m wide.

So when it’s time for a bout of Harry Shopper, where can the boy wizard spend his shiny inheritance? There are miniaturised takes on wand shop Ollivanders, Scribbulus Writing Implements, Quality Quidditch Supplies, the Daily Prophet, Florean Fortescue’s Ice-cream Parlour, Flourish & Blotts the bookseller and of course Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes – all packed with movie references.

And because the buildings are modular, they can be rearranged and stored with ease – so you won’t need a Lego Room of Requirement to stash them in.

MAKER STREET This set affords you many display options. Place Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes on a corner, or put shops back to back to align them with Lego’s Modular Buildings range.
