WHY LEGO? WHY? LEGO Hogwarts Express 2022 thoughts (#76405)

August 18, 2022 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 3 minutes

I’ve been thinking a lot about the new LEGO Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition 76405 and why it doesn’t feel right. And I finally decided it’s time to share my thoughts on why I love and hate this set (what went wrong with LEGO’s design?). It really is so polarising for everyone. I’m worried that LEGO has managed to create a LEGO Train set that doesn’t make anyone happy. And here’s why. P.S. LEGO, what we really wanted was an Emerald Night quality LEGO Train!

About the LEGO Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition (76405):
The magic of the Harry Potter stories with a buildable, 1:32 scale replica of the most iconic vehicle in the Wizarding World. LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express – Collectors’ Edition (76405) is a spectacular build-and-display project for adult Harry Potter enthusiasts, which will enchant all who see it.

The engine features a detailed underside and a lever on the top that causes the train to rock with the motion of a steam train. A tender carries the engine’s supply of coal. The passenger carriage comprises 3 compartments, each depicting a classic scene: when Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet in the series’ first film; when Professor Lupin saves Harry from the Dementor™ in the third film; and when Luna saves Harry from Draco’s spell in the sixth film. The model also depicts Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross Station, where the adult Harry and Ginny wait with their children, Lily, James, and Albus, ready for Albus’s first trip aboard the amazing Hogwarts Express.
