You know what’s coming: another LEGO reveal for a set launching next year, though not January 1st for a change. This is for a major licensed-IP theme too. LEGO Harry Potter has been riding the wave of its 20th anniversary loud and proud. Surely the sets coming out in the following year will not drop the hype. Judging from this teaser video on LEGO’s Facebook found by The Brick Fan, signs are very good. Some LHP sets emphasize color variability so builders can show off their Hogwarts House allegiances. The upcoming Hogwarts Magical Trunk (76399) follows this color variation tradition.
We’ve seen variations of the LEGO play-set that folds up and stores all pieces and minfigures. Some of those sets appear as books or, in the Disney Encanto set tie-ins, magical doors. LEGO Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Magical Trunk (76399) instead takes after the ubiquitous travelling case of many Hogwarts students. It contains tiles and accessories to style the trunk as belonging to a Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin. Also inside are six minifigs, five of which, including Harry, have swappable parts. Finally, props and furnishings enable builders to create various diorama scenes (Sorting, Feast, and Common Room) from the movies.
Thus far, only LEGO.com UK has a product listing up:
