Pieces: 801
Minifigures: 5
Ages: 8+

Reasons to buy

Iconic setting
+

+
Plenty of Easter eggs

Reasons to avoid

Could do with more minifigures

Outside of the castle itself, few locations say 'Harry Potter' more than the Hogwarts Express. It's downright iconic, and this kit does an amazing job shrinking that train down into brick form.

Containing more than a few nods to the series (specifically The Prisoner of Azkaban), this is one of Lego's cooler adaptations. That's because you're not just getting the steam engine itself - a miniature Platform 9¾ can be found here as well, including the magic wall you run through to reach the train. When combined with minifigures for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Professor Lupin, a Dementor, and the Trolley Witch, this set is packed with nostalgia.

2. Hogwarts Moment: Charms Class

The best cheap Harry Potter Lego set

Specifications

Item number: 76385

Minifigures: 3
Ages: 8+

No Hermione for "Wingardium Leviosaaaah" moments

The best Harry Potter merchandise can be pricey, and the Lego range is no different. With that in mind, this kit is well worth a look - despite being very cheap, it still manages to embody the magic of the series with a clever, transforming build.

That's because there are two scenes at play here; while one depicts the boy wizard's Charms classroom (with mini-figs of Harry himself, Cho Chang, and Professor Flitwick from the first film), it can also fold up into a Charms book featuring the Hogwarts school crest.

3. Hogwarts Castle

The best premium Harry Potter Lego set

Specifications

Item number: 71043
Pieces: 6,020
Minifigures: 4
Ages: 16+

Reasons to buy

+
Perfect recreation of the castle
+
Straight up iconic
+
Loads of hidden details

Oh-so expensive

OK, so it's expensive. Very expensive. But if you want the best Harry Potter merch, it doesn't get much better than this. Recreating Hogwarts School in all its glory, it's an enormous set with more than 6,000 pieces and 27 micro-figures.

More importantly, this allows for all sorts of hidden depths. On top of classrooms and the Chamber of Secrets, it also comes with Hagrid's Hut, the Whomping Willow, and the little row-boats that first-year Hogwarts students arrive in. 'Magnificent' doesn't quite cut it.

Top 3 Harry Potter wands

1. Harry Potter Wand (in Ollivanders Box)

The best Harry Potter wand overall

Specifications

Size: 15in (38cm)
Ages: 14+

Reasons to buy

+
Amazing detail
+
1-1 replica
+
Collector's box

Reasons to avoid

-
Not a toy

It may be predictable to top the list with Harry's wand, but this Noble Collection replica makes doing so a necessity. The company's collectibles are fantastic at the best of times, but this one is particularly detailed.

That's because it's a 1-1 version of the prop Daniel Radcliffe used during the film series, complete with weathering and a distinctive wood-effect handle. The Warner Bros. branding is subtle enough to be easily missed, too.

Most deals offer it in a beautiful Ollivanders box too (the kind Harry was given when he originally bought the wand in Diagon Alley), so you've got something handsome to display it in right away. However, you can also purchase a separate - and rather lovely - metal Hogwarts wand stand from the Noble Collection that shows off the replica at its best.

2. Wizard Training Wand

The best Harry Potter toy wand

Specifications

Size: 15in (38cm)
Ages: 8+

Reasons to buy

+
Interactive
+
Recognizes movement
+
Includes 11 spells

Reasons to avoid

-
Needs AAA batteries

I defy you to find someone who doesn't pretend to cast a spell when they pick up a wand, and that's why this electronic toy is amongst the best Harry Potter merchandise. Featuring sound effects, lights, and designs that range from Dumbledore to Hermione, it's sure to be a hit with younger fans of the Wizarding World.

Thanks to the inclusion of 11 spells and the fact that it recognises movement, this is also the ultimate toy wand; besides two modes for standalone play, there are three settings to use while duelling a friend who also has a Training Wand. That means the user can live out their wizard battle daydreams whenever they like.

3. The Elder Wand (in Ollivanders Box)

The best Harry Potter wand for collectors

Specifications

Size: 15.7in (40cm)
Ages: 14+

Reasons to buy

+
Gorgeous replica
+
Loads of detail
+
Comes in a stately box

Reasons to avoid

-
Can be hard to find

The Elder Wand - otherwise known as Professor Dumbledore's wand - is one of the most recognizable props from Harry Potter. It's straight-up iconic, so this 1-1 replica is a must-have if you're a collector (but be warned, it can be a little hard to find these days and has been replaced by a Gellert Grindelwald version).

As well as exceptional detail that's hand-painted, the Elder Wand also comes with a luxurious Ollivanders display box. This is complete with velvet-feel material and a purple decorative ribbon, so it'll look really quite fancy on your shelf.
