Lego Harry Potter is a Lego theme based on the films of the Harry Potter series.
Lego models of important scenes, vehicles and characters were made for the first six films and all the books released. The first sets appeared in 2001, to coincide with the release of the first film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States). Subsequent sets were released alongside the new films, until Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The line then went dormant for three years. It is unknown if the theme will again be revived to coincide with future installations in the Harry Potter franchise, such as the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. In January 2004, Lego owner and CEO Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen announced a change in direction for the company, which at the time was facing a DKK 1.4 billion loss, and that the company would focus on core products and not "big, movie-related IPs such as Harry Potter".[1] A week later, the company clarified that this did not mean any immediate "radical changes", and that the Harry Potter theme would continue.
However, the theme was discontinued after 2007 for a time. In June 2009, it was officially announced by Lego that a video game, Lego Harry Potter: Years 1–4, was in production and released in June 2010. Lego Harry Potter: Years 5–7 was released in November 2011. Warner Bros. and Lego announced on February 12, 2010 that six sets including Hogwarts Castle, Hagrid's Hut, The Burrow, Hogwarts Express, Dobby's Release, and Quidditch Match would be released in October 2010. These sets have newly decorated mini-figures and animals including Luna Lovegood, Bellatrix Lestrange, new owls and new pigs. Also announced was a Lego Harry Potter board game that was made available in August. In 2013, The LEGO Group officially discontinued Lego Harry Potter sets.[2] However, a Lego Dimensions add-on pack featuring Harry Potter and Voldemort was scheduled to be released on 27 September 2016. The first film (titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States) saw the largest amount of sets, with fourteen being made in total.
Initially, only eleven were produced, however three more were released the next year. Ten sets were produced based on the second film in the series. Two of which were released the year after the second film. These sets were designed to be combined with the sets from the first film. The third film saw eleven sets released, including the first Lego Harry Potter mini set. In addition, the minifigures became fleshed toned, following Lego universal change for licensed characters.

Lego revived the Harry Potter theme after a three-year gap from previous set released in 2007. These new sets were released October 1, 2010 within the UK.
All sets are remakes of previous ones with the exception of one new set, The Burrow, which is based on a scene from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Lego released four main sets in 2011. Diagon Alley was released in January, while the other three sets were released on June 1, 2011, around the time of the cinema release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2. However, the Trolley, The Lab and the Mini Hogwarts Express were all promotional sets that were released in different countries at different times, which were either being given away with newspaper offers, the purchase of Diagon Alley from the Lego Shop and also with the pre-order of the game, Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7. Lego has produced a Harry Potter-themed Lego Dimensions "team pack" with a scheduled release date of 27 September 2016 in the United States. This add-on pack includes Harry Potter and Voldemort minifigs that are largely similar to the 2010/2011 versions. Key differences include a different hairpiece for Harry Potter and a brown wand instead of a white one for Voldemort.
