New LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express set revealed along with competition for fans

The LEGO Group is offering fans an amazing opportunity to play, build and stay on a real LEGO Hogwarts Express train.

The competition is aimed at families (two adults and two children) with the winners enjoying a magical one-night experience with the chance to play with the brand new LEGO® Harry Potter Hogwarts Express set, relax with a movie screening alongside a luxurious stop in a special carriage which features moments of LEGO and Harry Potter magic.

The prize features:

• A journey and overnight stay on the LEGO Hogwarts Express train in Yorkshire
• Dinner and breakfast in the Great Station Hall
• Overnight stay in the Hogwarts Express Common Room Carriage
• Harry Potter Movie screening
• Return travel to Yorkshire to join the train
• An abundance of LEGO Harry Potter sets to play with as well as the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express set to take home

The new LEGO set measures a huge 118cm in length. The set features incredible detail both inside and out, including the steam engine, tender and passenger carriage which includes light-up bricks and an impressive replica of Platform 9¾ which can be attached to different parts. The full train sits on a track-display-base which sees a turning level which activates the wheels.

Twenty LEGO mini-figures inspired by four fan-favourite film moments, come with the set including the golden trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione and the first ever adult LEGO Harry Potter.

The wonderous set reveals iconic scenes and quotes from the movies which relate to the train or platform as you build it. The set will take you through an extraordinary journey from the first time Harry, Ron and Hermione meet in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone right through to Albus Severus Potter's first trip to Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Marcos Bessa, LEGO Designer commented: “The Harry Potter movies ignite that feeling of magic within us all. When we were working on this set, we wanted to bring to life different moments from across the movies. Whether your favourite is the original trio meeting on the train or moments from movies later in the series, this set really brings back spellbinding memories from all of our favourite parts of the Harry Potter films.”
