LEGO Minifigures - Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series - Complete

Released in 2018, the LEGO Minifigures Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series (71022) marked a significant return for the brand to the Wizarding World theme. This blind-bag collection was designed to coincide with the release of the film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, bridging the gap between the classic Harry Potter lore and the newer prequel series. The set offered fans a high level of detail, including unique character accessories like wands, magical creatures, and signature outfits that had not appeared in previous LEGO iterations, effectively modernizing the aesthetic of the figures.

The design of these minifigures was led by the LEGO Group's internal design team, who sought to capture the distinct personalities of characters like Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Newt Scamander through specialized hairpieces and dual-sided head prints. Upon its release, the series was received with high enthusiasm by adult collectors and families alike, as it provided a budget-friendly way to acquire a broad range of iconic characters without the necessity of purchasing large, expensive playsets. Its popularity solidified the Harry Potter line as a cornerstone of the modern LEGO Collectible Minifigures program.
