Best Harry Potter Deals for Back to Hogwarts 2024

Celebrate Back to Hogwarts with the best deals on LEGO sets, movies, and games. From Diagon Alley discounts to double points, here's what to grab before September 1.

Ready to head back to Hogwarts? Every September 1, witches and wizards (and muggles who love them) celebrate the day the Hogwarts Express departs. If you're not actually boarding a train to a magical castle this year, the next best thing is snagging some awesome deals on Harry Potter gear. I've scoured the internet to find the best offers so you can treat yourself without breaking the bank.

First up, LEGO is going all out for Back to Hogwarts. The LEGO Store is running a huge promotion, including a discount on the iconic Diagon Alley set. This is one of the best LEGO Harry Potter sets you can get, and right now it's at its lowest price ever. Just a heads up: it's on backorder at LEGO, but you can grab it at Amazon for a few bucks more if you're impatient. Plus, LEGO is giving double points on all Harry Potter purchases, so you'll earn rewards for future builds.

If you're a collector, there's a brand-new set that just dropped: The Ministry of Magic - Collectors' Edition. It's one of the most expensive LEGO releases this September, but for hardcore fans, it's a must-have. And if you're more into the movies, the 4K Blu-ray collections are on sale. The eight-film set is a good deal, but the real winner is the 11-film collection that includes both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts. Released back in May, this is the first major discount we've seen on it, so it's a great time to upgrade your movie night.

Now, let's talk gaming. The LEGO Harry Potter Collection for PS5 is only $19.99, and trust me, these games are simple but super fun. You get to explore brick-built versions of the movies and uncover hidden Easter eggs everywhere. It includes Years 1-4 and 5-7, both of which got positive reviews. At that price, it's a steal for a physical PS5 game these days.

Books are always on sale somewhere, but right now, I couldn't find any standout deals. Even with Barnes & Noble's Book Haul sale, nothing worth mentioning. If you're eyeing the illustrated editions, you might want to wait. The new illustrated Half-Blood Prince comes out next month, and after that, there will likely be some discounts.

So, what's your pick? Will you be building Diagon Alley, reliving the movies in 4K, or exploring Hogwarts in LEGO form? Let me know in the comments!
