Harry Potter fans have an exciting year ahead with the official new HBO series set to reinterpret the iconic fantasy series in a brand-new adaptation that's meant to be much more faithful to the original books from author J.K. Rowling. According to recent official updates, the new Harry Potter TV series on HBO is currently scheduled to premiere on December 25, 2026, and is sure to give audiences an exciting new look at one of the most beloved fantasy universes ever created.

However, if you're looking to scratch your Harry Potter itch well before this winter, one of the franchise's most adorable fan-favorite characters is set to make a triumphant return this month. Potterheads worldwide can officially check out a brand-new Dobby the Free Elf release, alongside several other beloved characters from the franchise, available now (via HP.com).

According to a new announcement direct from the Wizarding World, Dobby the Free Elf, as well as seven other Harry Potter-favorite characters, are getting their very own LEGO sets this month, available as of June 1. Dobby is featured here as a new 379 piece, 2-in-1 model building kit designed for young builders ages 8+.

It's an incredible new set that's "fully articulated so you can display him in sitting, standing, or walking poses," and can be rebuilt "into the first LEGO brick figure of Kreacher," the pure-blood-obsessed house-elf who served the aristocratic Black family. It comes with several accessories to boot, including the following:

Dobby’s Wicked Trainers
Tom Riddle’s diary with a fabric sock inside
Harry’s bedroom lamp
Skele-Gro potion bottle
Slytherin Locket
And more!

Beyond this adorable Dobby LEGO set release, fans and builders alike will want to check out the other newly announced Harry Potter sets available this month, which include the Book Nook: Dumbledore’s Office set, the Knockturn Alley Wizarding Shops kit, the Hogwarts House Crest, a new Hogwarts Castle set of the East Wing, a handful of Hogwarts Herbology Plants, the iconic Forbidden Forest: Expecto Patronum scene, and of course, a new Norbert model, Hagrid’s adorable Baby Dragon.

These are the perfect gifts to get Potterheads ready for the upcoming launch of the new HBO television series, or if you're looking to add to your Harry Potter LEGO collection, these new sets are just the tip of the iceberg. LEGO has several unique Harry Potter kits available aside from these new releases, ranging from massive Hogwarts Castle kits to small figure sets of the franchise's many characters and locations.
