Overview

The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Magical Trunk (76399) is a 603-piece customizable set that lets you bring the magic of Hogwarts to life in a unique and personal way. Unlike traditional Harry Potter sets that focus on specific movie scenes, this one allows builders to design their own Hogwarts adventure—a feature that makes it stand out among the Wizarding World lineup.

Build Experience

Building the trunk is an engaging and surprisingly creative process. Instead of simply following a step-by-step layout, LEGO gives builders the freedom to decorate and customize their trunk with Hogwarts house colors, stickers, and accessories.

• The Trunk: The exterior is simple but effective, designed to resemble a vintage Hogwarts student’s travel trunk. It can be customized to match Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw, giving it a personal touch that many sets lack.

• The Interior: The real fun begins when you open the trunk! Inside, you can build different Hogwarts scenes, such as the Great Hall, the Sorting Ceremony, and a cozy common room. The modular nature allows for different layouts, meaning you can rearrange and reimagine the setting multiple times.

Minifigures

One of the biggest highlights of this set is the minifigure customization. Instead of fixed characters, LEGO provides a mix of parts so you can create your own Hogwarts students. 

However, the best part is that LEGO includes multiple heads, hairpieces, and torsos, allowing you to design unique students from any house. This adds a role-playing element, making it feel like you’re stepping into Hogwarts yourself.

Play Features & Display Value

• Customizable Fun: The ability to mix and match student designs means endless possibilities.

• Compact & Portable: The trunk folds up neatly, making it a great travel set.

• Scene Recreation: The set lets you recreate iconic Hogwarts moments, including the Sorting Hat ceremony.

Final Verdict

The Hogwarts Magical Trunk (76399) is a fantastic set for younger fans who want a hands-on, imaginative Hogwarts experience. While it doesn’t offer the highly detailed architecture of larger Hogwarts sets, its customization and role-playing elements make it one of the most interactive Harry Potter LEGO sets.
