LEGO Harry Potter 2022 Hogwarts Magical Trunk (76399) Review

[@MellowWell0w]

Love the concept of this trunk.. love the diversity of minifigs parts, finally the right hair piece and colour for my sigfig! I actually don’t mind the additional parts, I’ll be using them on my existing sets/MOCS.. could swap out all the boring Harry heads I already have with all the different heads/hair pieces from this set.. love the printed bertie botts (finally!), marauders map, more polyjuice potion, blue owl and quibbler.. I actually like the fact they made the trunk lockable, thought it was pretty cool.. I think the top of trunk will look better with the additional stickers included in the set as shown in their promotional stop motion video.. I’ll most probably display the trunk on its own, and use all the interiors for my existing sets/MOCs.. I was sitting on the fence but after watching your review I actually want to get this set! Thank you for the review :) But I’ll defo wait for sale, no way I’m paying full price for this set even though i like it and think it’s cool..

[@paramoosestudios]

I’m curious now, what hair piece is perfect for your sigfig?

[@MellowWell0w]

@@paramoosestudios The Incredibles Violet Parr’s hair piece redone in all black 5:51 :) More so the fringe and hair length.. will hv to ignore the headband, at least it’s not too obvious from the front.. not sure if this is a first, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it :)

[@retrobrickreviews687]

Honestly, you could use the blue hairpiece to make a custom Teddy Lupin. Combine that with Rose, and this is probably the closest thing to a Cursed Child set LEGO will ever release.

[@thetoybox4333]

I don't care what anybody says! I am so hyped for this Lego Harry Potter set so many new minifigure hair pieces and different colored heads for me to be able to customize minifigures with. For me it's totally worth the money! 🤑

[@josie2412]

me too...

[@sadeness]

Same

[@ColeDD26]

Same I literally saw this at Scheels but I never bought it next time I go there I'm buying it

[@markorollo.]

next set on my list to buy, but as many men have been told in the past, its smaller than i was expecting.... *edit* two months later and finally got it yesterday, for slightly cheaper than retail price, so that was good, but got a small backlog of sets to get through first before i build it.

[@ryanremenap5616]

i'm really excited for this set! i do wish it had a few more torsos, because you can really only make five characters

[@adam_brickstreetboy]

You know what would be a cool set? A star wars version of this. Like a padawan training set since you can customise minifigures

[@TheJ2Collector]

Yeah with yoda,anakin and 4 customizable younglings

[@adam_brickstreetboy]

@@TheJ2Collector young anakin is what was thinking.

[@DavidHRolex]

I bought this and was pretty disapointed. I wanted some of the pieces......but the build is so small.....and I regret not waiting for it to go on sale. Not a day 1 purchase I would wait for at least 20% off. Good review holly!

[@HollyOnFilm]

I was very surprised when building to find out it was so narrow

[@alexandriasmith1252]

Is the trunk bigfig Harry and Hermione sized? Because I might get it for all the parts and display it next to bigfig harry 🤔

[@kayman1615]

Thanks for the review Holly. I was looking forward to this set but it does look a lot smaller than I thought. I don’t mind extra pieces as they can go into my inventory but the value is just so poor. Will still get it but I will be waiting for a very big discount or clearance price.

[@isaacdestura7495]

Im really looking forward to this set, it’s very nifty and kind of is what the book sets were trying to be

[@marknieuwstad2504]

You have changed my mind. I was planning to get 2 or even 3, to make all the (inside) variants. But seeing how small it actually is, I think I'll just stick to 1. Amazing though how some of the parts are, you get a lot of extra pieces. Better get this at a discount/sale.

[@EasterlyWind]

I assumed all those on the LEGO ambassador network had to leave good reviews, Great to see a good honest review of this, Shocked its so small to be honest

[@westley5735]

I LOVE THAT YOU GET LEGO PR! Must be a dream come true!! Sending love!

[@legometaworld2728]

This is one of the few sets that I genuinely want from this year (the Hospital Wing for the interior and the Horizon Zero Dawn set are the only other ones) and I don’t think the price is that terrible in America but a sale never hurts.

[@TSLstudio2010]

I completely agree with your review! The special new parts/accessories are the best, might buy them separately on bricklink. Also I got kinda the feeling that Lego doesn't know where to go with Lego Harry Potter and they just try random things to see if it works... while hopefully getting lots of money in the proces.

[@largol33t1]

This is why I'm wondering about trying a bootleg set in the future. They're sold on Wish and other sites and aren't even half the price. Lego SEVERELY overprices their stuff these days. I remember when I was a kid and they were affordable. Now they want $30 for bits of plastic that I know cost them barely $9 to mold. The markup is triple that because of their popularity and the quality is not as good as it used to be. Parts break more easily than ever. My 10217 set Diagon Alley has a lot of broken pieces and I can't replace a lot of them because they don't sell replacement parts on the Lego website.

[@adambartkowiak9882]

i'd get that just for the pieces and side builds, and leave the trunk hollow.

[@djnightmare666]

got it for $50 on clearance and I'm stoked with that price!.. what a parts pack!!! so many hairpieces and great heads..

[@luca0402]

i want this set just for that dark tan with glasses face. legit looks just like me!

[@TheBrickWizardyt]

if you put the blue hair with a hufflypuf torso, it can be Teddy Lupin, the son of Remus and Tonks. just like his mother he's a metamorphmagus, so he can change his hair to any colour and in most of the fan art it's blue

[@briandain8432]

Also a Positive, those blues are great for water building, the greens great for grassy areas, the gray is excellent for rounding castles... All great pieces! GREAT REVIEW.

[@kevingamache1512]

Thanks for your review.last night from this post I bought fluffys encounter The clock tower And the bew Hospital wing The store also had 4privet drive And The magical trunk. I wondered which i might get next Now i think 4 privet drive. Great video

[@paulclements6315]

Privet Drive is a great set. Definitely recommend. Lot's of fun features and good minifigures (and the Ford Anglia).

[@aidancarter176]

Omg the blue hair piece is perfect to make teddy lupin I must get this set

[@melaniesjournal8998]

I think this is a great set, especially all the modifications you are able to do. I've heard a lot of compliants about the price and I think it really depends where you live and the currency you have. In Australia and Canada it really appears to be priced a lot higher than say in Europe (where I live) its 60 euros (you can already find it for cheaper) which in comparison to many Lego sets really isn't a bad deal.

[@hazelscully2874]

I wish they had stuck with one scene, say the sorting house scene, went all out on the design of that, and then included the option to create your own minifigure, so that way you still have the creativity but it also doesn't feel like a lot of the pieces are just going to waste. It's a neat idea overall I just wish they had not made it so customizable as to become overwhelming

[@rosiegirl7112]

I agree with your review as you made lots of good points. As an AFOL not getting this one BUT this set was developed for the younger HP fans and as such Lego did a great job of that as it has lots of play features. Not all sets will be suitable for adults and that is OK.

[@stevegallo8483]

Great review! I agree that this set looks underwhelming for the price. The trunk looks too small, and there are a lot of pieces that would be unused. The extra pieces could easily be lost. Definitely won't be a day one purchase. Might be one to skip.

[@cquinn4555]

I feel like it's exactly as you said ... an accessory set to other hogwarts set... that said ... it really adds a lot to a complete 2010 hogwarts castle... really like it

[@KristenWhere]

I still plan on getting it- I think your views on it are valid and spot on- I’m not a fan of the overall size etc- but I mainly want to grab a few of these & see if I can make either a larger one, or swap out some of the tiles in the roadplate portion for more jumpers or even 1x2s to add some more space.. it’s definitely a parts pack- and I hate that the top of it has those exposed bricks- idk I guess I’ll need to find some square tiles or something to try to smooth it out- it’s overall disappointing compared to when we first heard about it- but I’m still gonna throw my money to lego & see what I can make out of it.

[@Falcon2Dragon]

Teddy Tonks-Lupin rendition for other MOCs with blue hair? This case has moved down my priority list, tough fantastic mini builds to add into mocs

[@caitlynskiff2001]

I was thinking this set reminds me of Polly pockets and than you said that too! personally I wish they would have just sold 4 separate sets for each of the houses instead of including all the pieces in 1. That way it could have been priced a little better, but oh well. Still it is a cool and new idea.

[@bloomsparks]

Im just going to sit the trunk on my shelf with the mix of all four houses. I really want the different heads to bulk up my random student display

[@fredh1720]

Really glad I saw this because it was going to be an easy buy. Thanks for the video

[@stephwinn4524]

Very playable!!!!! Neat little peices!!!!

[@michaelloeffler]

You’ve got to have a million Harry’s by now…you should make an army of Harry’s to go up against your Star Wars troopers 😂

[@stargyrl13]

Nyce review. I think that the colorful hair is for if you want to make a Metamorphmagus.

[@xHelloKitty420x]

This is a must have if are a true HP fan definitely worth it

[@AHYL88]

I know this is a Harry Potter set so there's a sort of premium on them but the fact that it's so relatively small for how much it costs and that there's been far more significantly sized sets (albeit unlicensed like the Dinosaur Fossils set) hovering around the same price or even less than this simply cannot be ignored. A certain someone says this is totally worth it for the figures but that's obvious bias and not a good reason to pay so much for something like this. And in the UK, this costs more than TWO Hogwarts Moments sets together!

[@HeIsTheBluesCat]

The first customizable minifigure looks like me!

[@armandocampamartinez8307]

I think the blue hair pieces are inspired by/referencing teddy lupin

[@stuartdodge9291]

The Students can change their hair like Tonks! That's why there's colour!

[@cOmAtOrAn]

The extra sticker sheet really irks me. Like, I don't want to just put random stickers on big expensive bricks, but I do think it kind of needs more decoration to look the way it's supposed to. I may get a bunch of tiles specifically to put the extra stickers on, but even then, I have no idea how I would attach them to the set.

[@briandain8432]

It's odd, I don't care about Harry from the Story, just not my cup of coffee, but the building sets are really fun. I typically just use all the pieces for mocs. Little Ron makes a great Cabin boy!!

[@xtranathor8143]

Thanks for your honest thoughts Holly! I think I'm going to skip on this set, although if I see it go on a large sale, then I'll probably pick it up and display it in Gryffindor colours!

[@Chaden]

Interesting set, would like this in more themes. My favorite part is the chest, hope it’s used in Minecraft.

[@ravinp371]

I actually made mine red and black. Half slytherin half gryffindor.

[@thelonleywolf7548]

I'm starting to collect marvel lego again any suggestions

[@HollyOnFilm]

Bro Thors house and the Benetar are amazing!

[@_Banjo_]

the trunk price in the UK super puts me off, and its even smaller than i thought

[@Kamikaziiiii]

Wish it came with more minifig bodies so you can take advantage of all the pieces - I’ll probably pass up on this set only cause I don’t like the trunk

[@werogegashiwshin2260]

This definitely feels like a set you buy for the pieces and not the build itself. I'm gonna pick it up myself for the part selection but I think this set wouldve sold better as an accessory pack without the trunk build

[@strangerofthe2067]

These are my same feelings about the new Boba’s Palace too. It’s a cool set with some great figures in it but the price is insane. I bought it on a whim because I found it a couple weeks early, and I was very disappointed after building it just because of the price of $100 USD. Aside from the figures there was NOTHING special in the set, even the pieces are the most basic of pieces to build the palace, there’s really nothing special in it at all. I feel like this HP set, while still expensive for what it is, is still a better value than the $100 Boba’s Palace.

[@I_Was_Chrispy_Kreme]

You had me at Jammie Dodgers

[@BrickTemplar]

It would have been funny if they included Umbridge in this set, who would have made all those students to revert to their natural hair colour. 3:17

[@legofrancis9095]

It's basically an accessory pack for me. I have no use for the build, which looks a bit junior. For that reason there's no way I'm paying the price tag for this

[@jeanetterichardson7378]

Bit undecided on this. I like the parts but yes the price is high for the amount of pieces being used at one time. What is with these cupboard doors arrghhh!! For the trunk as a display piece how does it look beside the buildable figures of Harry & Hermione. Could you show a video of that/how the scale works?

[@asc3nded397]

Why do they have to only include that awesome Mcgonagal figure in play sets that have little to no display ability. I would love to get that figure but both sets she is in don’t interest me at all.

[@averagehuman9424]

I'm probably gonna modify it with The star wars dark trooper set

[@GabMacedoo]

I thought the neutral figure should have a different colored hand than what is shown in this Harry minifig

[@hogwartsfunandmore7336]

Only reason I want this set is the marauders map piece and the minifigures

[@felipeufla]

Holly, big fan here! Love your videos so much! Are you going to do new updates on your Hogwarts MOC? I just love them!

[@HollyOnFilm]

I really want to make Umbridges office in the new modular style so I hope to work on that shortly

[@largol33t1]

I wish you were wearing a Ravenclaw scarf. It would make you look like Luna!

[@michaelcarrea4053]

Wow, its so tiny!! Gosh!! hope some discount further down the line............

[@zarda1484]

its an advent calendar with a brick built box

[@HollyOnFilm]

This is the best description I’ve heard

[@Deadbeatdebonair]

The blue hair piece may be for those who wanna create a Ted Tonks figure

[@sashatoby]

i have a stupid question is the set 1 trunk where you have to change color to make 1 trunk from 1 house or is this set 4 trunks 1 for each house? if it is just 1 trunk and you can change the color then you need 4 sets 1 for each house and that is not cheap

[@HollyOnFilm]

It’s one with the colours to make one of four designs, so you’re right, it’s not great

[@tripzeyfied6849]

The coloured hair would be good for young tonks

[@PatrickGotHands]

Everything she likes I dislike, everything I like she dislikes, but we can both agree on that baby Yoda plushie is cute ❤️

[@martinicodiez9468]

I've been collecting Lego for 10 years now, but I've never had any Harry Potter sets, even tho I love the franchise and I've read all the books. I wanted to buy one set to sort of represent the lego harry potter line. In this set you get Harry, and you can make hermione, so thats great, and I feel like you get a very good representation of the line and all the elements of Hogwarts. Do you think its a good set for this or would you recomend the hospital wing for example or some of the new ones like dumbledores office or sirius's escape.

[@HollyOnFilm]

I think it’s an alright set but certain not for the price, the new line is a big step up and while some still feel a bit pricy, they have a lot more to offer and the builds are far better. The hospital wing as well I feel is a great set

[@martinicodiez9468]

@@HollyOnFilm Thanks so much for replying so fast! So what do you think is the best modular Hogwarts set under 60 bucks (Thats more or less my budget) that represents the franchise the best?

[@brunokagawa6287]

I like this concept more than the book ones, but the price certainly has to come down. Didn't buy a single book set but will consider this one.

[@paulclements6315]

Good review. This to me looks very much like a kids item i.e. a way to take some of their Harry Potter Lego with them when they go out somewhere. Think I'll spend my money on something else

[@HollyOnFilm]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes on sale VERY quickly, there are a lot of other great sets for less than this

[@lupinisthinking]

Didn’t Teddy Lupin have wackily colored hair? Might be a fun nod to him

[@HollyOnFilm]

That’s what I felt too! Same with Rose Granger Weasley

[@TheRealFeechLaManna]

The banners are printed with the wrong windows, that is not what the sets look like. The banners have Gothic windows, the actual castle has Romantic style, except for the new Hospital Wing. Yes I know, even LEGO is helping making the world a dumber place, don't kill the messenger.

[@hiddenbrickstudios]

To me this is a disappointing wave. The trunk and the hospital wing were both let downs. I the the best sets were the moment sets.

[@TSLstudio2010]

Damn it's 60 euro's indeed, I thought it was 30-40 euro's lol

[@CoveofEzzy]

The weird hair colour choices is a bit odd, however there is always the notion that they could be metamorphamaguses like Tonks

[@jensdeboer07]

Should I buy this set?

[@hiddenbrickstudios]

When you find it on a good sale. Not worth paying full price

[@michaelillescas333]

Thanks for being honest. I feel like other lego ambassadors say every set is amazing even if they’re not.

[@HollyOnFilm]

You’re very welcome, I don’t want to lie and someone purchase a disappointing set when their money could go towards a better one

[@ColeDD26]

I saw this set at Scheels and never bought it even though i want it I also saw the new Hogwarts moments

[@ravinp371]

Time to put the spice girls together!

[@emmapeelify]

Bloody hell😂

[@daylemur149]

There's this kid at my school who comes in like every two weeks and has say green hair pink hair blue hair it never stops and he's in grade 5! Well he started doing it in grade 5 he's in grade 6 now but yeah he's gone through so many colours I don't think he even has any more left. Me and my friends joke around with him and say "my guy did you fall in another paint bucket again" now that might seem a bit mean but me and my mates are really close to him and he knows we're joking.

[@kelomanogranich6247]

I have just found this set for 37€ in Spain. I think i am going to get it :)

[@jaredjackson2013]

The ONLY thing i like about this is the minifig accessories... and for the price I gutta pay (AUD) It just ain't worth it....

[@caticattoys]

I feel like this was supposed to be a much bigger set that they then reduced to fit in to the price, and it lost its purpose somewhere along the way. it feels clumsy like they didn't finish refining the design process and I am not as excited about it as I thought. Pass.

[@yourboiholdy1470]

Damn I was looking forward to this set but hearing the price vs how small and how many extra pieces there are definitely might be a pass for me

[@aidancarter176]

Black Friday sales I just picked it up for £30

[@faithworldleader6891]

I am in the minority here, I guess, because I am salivating to get all the extras and view it more as an accessory set for HP. I confess I'd probably buy it just for the owl. The more kinds of owls they can make, the better.

[@paramoosestudios]

None of the colored hair pieces are from everyone is awesome, just wanted to let you know:)

[@alanasimpson8914]

thats weird it costs 60 australian dollers

[@steveplanesnlego9055]

Looked forward to this BUT soooo small. Thought the same, the colour scheme went all over …. Questionable (?)

[@tamaki011423]

This set might be my most least favorite set from this wave and will def get it when it is on sale! I don’t really care for the customizable minifigures ☹️

[@genoedcknifecollecter1538]

To many small misses I'm passing it does little for me

[@thekobileeproject]

I’m glad I watched this, I almost bought it yesterday, but I will wait till I see it discounted. Definitely seems overpriced.

[@Mynameister]

sort of...

[@Pokemon_Lover0]

Hi

[@Pug254]

It doesn’t look that bad I like it but it’s way to expensive :l

[@denny-michael]

The set is ok but I think I’ll pass. I rather normal HP sets.

[@themaster22dude39]

Why complain about the price when you got this set for free?

[@oui5381]

this is way too small for the price 😂

[@___David__]

I just got this too (alongside the rest of the new HP wave). I was expecting it to be bad... But this was WORSE than I expected. Too many stickers and not enough printed pieces, and most of the minifigure parts are useless to me. Is it worth 60€? Absolutely NOT. If I wasn't so bad at stopping myself from impulse buys, I would have stopped myself from buying this. It's probably the worst Harry Potter LEGO set EVER in my book. Yes, including the 2001-2002 sets. I wouldn't recommend the Wokewards Trunk to anyone. 1/10 for me.

[@tamaki011423]

I think my fantastic beast suitcase looks far better then this trunk …

[@hippoman3814]

I wasn't sure why she was so disappointed. *Right* until she turned to the back. WOW! The pictures did not make it seem *that* tiny

[@HollyOnFilm]

The pictures felt like ones you get from a real estate agent that make things look far bigger than they are
