The wizarding world continues to expand in LEGO form, and fans now have an even closer look at the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter 76444 Diagon Alley: Wizarding Shops. Scheduled for release on January 1, 2025, this intricate set features 2750 pieces and a price tag of $199.99 in the United States.
The newly surfaced photos not only showcase the set’s stunning micro-scale design but also offer a glimpse at the array of microfigures included. With its compact size and unparalleled attention to detail, this is shaping up to be the most complete rendition of Diagon Alley ever released.
The most complete Diagon Alley to date
Over the past 24 years, LEGO has tackled Diagon Alley in various forms, but this latest version is the most comprehensive yet. From Eeylops Owl Emporium to Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the Leaky Cauldron, and even the Daily Prophet headquarters, this set manages to capture nearly all the main businesses and landmarks from the magical street.
Unlike previous builds, which either focused on a few specific shops or spanned across multiple sets, the 76444 Diagon Alley: Wizarding Shops delivers a near-complete representation of the street in a single cohesive model.
This compact micro-scale version strikes a balance between accuracy and practicality, offering a space-saving alternative to larger builds like the 2020 Diagon Alley set (75978) and the more recent Gringotts Wizarding Bank Collectors’ Edition (76417). With at least 14 different buildings represented, it’s hard to imagine a more complete Diagon Alley in LEGO form.

A nod to LEGO Harry Potter history
LEGO Harry Potter fans may remember the smaller 2018 set, 40289 Diagon Alley, which also featured a micro-scale design. While that set included just five buildings, the new 2025 version expands significantly with at least 14 distinct shops and buildings. Notably, it reuses clever design ideas, such as a minifigure head for the statue outside Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, while adding fresh details that elevate the overall look and feel.
Looking back, larger sets like 10217 Diagon Alley (2011) and 75978 Diagon Alley (2020) offered impressive displays at minifigure scale. However, these versions covered only portions of the street, leaving fans wanting more. The 76444 Diagon Alley set answers that call by incorporating nearly all the iconic locations into a single, streamlined build.
Microfigures bring big charm
The set includes 14 microfigures, featuring key characters like Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and the Weasley twins, as well as other fan-favorites. Despite their tiny size, the microfigures are richly detailed with printed designs that reflect their wizarding attire. While microfigures may lack the playability of traditional minifigures, they perfectly complement the scale of the set, helping to bring the bustling streets of Diagon Alley to life.
A space-saving alternative for collectors
For fans who love the idea of displaying Diagon Alley but lack the space for larger builds, this micro-scale set is a dream come true. With its elongated design, it offers an impressive presence while being more space-efficient than the sprawling 75978 Diagon Alley. Even so, it still includes iconic features like the dragon perched atop Gringotts Bank and the signature purple Knight Bus, making it a magical display piece for any Harry Potter fan.
A magical step forward
After 24 years of LEGO Diagon Alley builds, the 76444 Diagon Alley: Wizarding Shops feels like a culmination of everything that has come before. It’s a practically complete rendition of the street, capturing the essence of the Harry Potter universe in a way that’s both nostalgic and innovative.
Whether you’re a fan of the books, movies, or LEGO Harry Potter sets, this model offers a fantastic building experience and an incredible addition to any collection. With its release just around the corner, it’s time to start making space on your shelves for what might be the most magical LEGO Harry Potter set yet.
