LEGO Harry Potter Talking Sorting Hat 76429 Review!

Join me, and the Hogwarts Sorting Hat for a fun and detailed LEGO review of 76429 Talking Sorting Hat from LEGO Harry Potter. Released in 2024, this 561-piece LEGO Harry Potter set features a sound brick with 31 sound combinations and a minifigure of 11-year-old Harry wearing The Sorting Hat which appears in a new reddish-brown colorway. Designed by George Gilliatt, 76429 Talking Sorting Hat features a neat mechanism which animates the sentient magical hat as it sorts students (and Harry Styles) into their Hogwarts houses.
I start by unboxing the Talking Sorting Hat and you won't miss a second of the fun with a 90 second speed build giving you the whole unboxing and building experience. As well as a very detailed review of The LEGO Sorting Hat, I explain the history of The Sorting hat and how it was created by Hogwarts house founders Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw.
A video about The Hogwarts Sorting Hat would not be complete with a biography of the actor Leslie Phillips CBE who voiced the legendary hat in three of the Harry Potter movies. I'll tell you about Leslie's sparkling acting career which came to an end when he died aged 98.
The best thing about LEGO's 76429 Talking Sorting Hat is the interactive functionality. 31 sound combinations and a button mounted underneath allow you to sort friends and family. I take the opportunity to sort myself, Mrs. Herbert and special guest star Harry Styles. That and more surprises await you in this fun, and informative LEGO Sorting Hat review video.

Could it be that the curse known as "Jeremy doesn't release videos" was finally gone

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

The curse has been lifted :)

[@lordprecliktwo7332]

​@@jeremyherbertofficial Btw I've been a big fan of yours for years (+- since 2019) and I definitely wasn't thrilled when you significantly reduced the frequency of releasing videos (for example, there were no videos between the opening of the 2022 and 2023 lego advent calendars) and I'm VERY HAPPY YOU'RE BACK (of course I know the +- circumstances (from the information that came to me you and your family moved back to the UK for work,then you travelled around Europe for work and then moved back to the US)

[@runrgrl35]

Welcome back…Better be Jeremy!😁

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

With a few friends this time :)

[@legomasteramazing]

I knew Jeremy was a Ravenclaw and good to see finally the eagle and not a raven as the mascot. Welcome back Mr. Herbert, it's always a delight watch your reviews

[@double_king]

and finally in bronze and not silver too!

[@Frosty35587]

Hello and welcome back good to see your videos again 🎉

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

Thank you! Good to be posting new content again.

[@Mazzaspazza]

I love watching your videos Jeremy. Even though you might not upload as much, they all feel familiar, to me, for example with your “catchphrases” or speed run music and your humour make the videos a blast to watch. A true comfort channel. Also I hope you didn’t buy that Harry styles cut out just for this video😂 actually maybe that’s worse just having one lying around

[@milinbuilds8232]

Jeremy’s officially back. From this and gringotts I have faith again 🎉

[@TheOGHostile]

Man I love your videos. Recently got into Lego again which is bad cause I’m spending a lot of money but amazing because I found your channel. Just watching all your reviews on sets I might buy and just all sets in general. Thank you sir ❤

[@XZavierdoesStuff2]

The sounds are the same as the mechanical one that I bought at a Barnes and Noble, I'm surprised they actually did an Eagle for Ravenclaw on the stand

[@Mazzaspazza]

They finally learned!

[@dylanrrsinclair4698]

Living vicariously through your videos Jeremy! Keep it up friend!

[@maulsmoc1247]

Amazing as always❤

[@DerinUcer-rd6pd]

Love it could get Lego room tour

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

I'd love to do that again. I'm kind of still unpacking but making good progress on getting my collection back on display.

[@DefNotDemon]

Oh my, he's back back!!!

[@reid3524]

Yes

[@kempy31]

So glad you’re back, it feels so weird seeing a new video.

[@DarkSilverHedgehog]

My personal headcanon is that the robes are made of enchanted fabric for the first years. They are plain black until they get sorted then when they interact with the magic of the hat the robes change accordingly

[@MrStrats]

If you add a channel join I think you might find a good bit of us would click it. Well done as usual.

[@isaacbailey3639]

Amazing

[@MCMarvel616]

Welcome back, my fellow Ravenclaw Lego fan!

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

Thank you!

[@allonewordcaps]

😊 always good to see your videos. More please!

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

Working on it!

[@TheEmilia1]

Hi Jeremy! I love Ravenclaw's brown eagle! I've waited so long!

[@michaelmunns]

I tip my hat off to you good sir 🎩

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

Thank you kindly. Returning the tip!

[@voiceovershill7620]

I’m excited to see your videos on the new Hogwarts system

[@Jacobb-fm8ny]

Yes a videooooooo

[@OneRandomDragonLover]

I was sorted into Hufflepuff on pottermore. Twice. About a year apart from eachother. Hufflepuff gang for life. Great video as always.

[@JBanimations700]

I know this channel is mainly about Lego Harry Potter, but do you plan on reviewing the Lego Disney Villains Icons Set?

[@fleurbirtwistle153]

Another superb video 👌I wasn’t gonna get this set but now 🤔 I just finished Hagrid’s hut today and it’s perfect! Fang and Norbert are sooooo cute, say hi to your lovely wife, I can’t believe you made her do that 😂

[@doncsicso81]

Yaaay! You’re really back! 😍😍I’m absolutely thrilled to see another video! Still not thinking about a Patreon or similar account Jeremy? Or KZbin superthanks? If not then the best I can do is to say thank you for another brilliant video! Looking forward for more! No pressure of course 😄

[@Narrowsplice]

OMG YOU ARE ACTUALLY BACK - LIKE , FOR REAL

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

The dark lord has returned!

[@Narrowsplice]

@@jeremyherbertofficial It’s good to see you back. Will you be doing anymore vintage / old Lego reviews? (Like the early Harry Potter sets)

[@Jacobb-fm8ny]

What sets are you gonna do next

[@DryerFryer]

Better be... Jeremy!

[@lordprecliktwo7332]

14:54 Btw I also took a quiz on that site a few years ago and I'm also a Ravenclaw and my patronus is greyhoud

[@kwong06]

Which horcrux was destroyed to get a set review in April?

[@ottersbuildlego8005]

Ah yes a fellow ravenclaw fan 🙂

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

Dumb hat keeps trying to put me in Hufflepuff. I feel dirty!

[@Gerry1of1]

The Hogwarts house elves would sew on the appropriate house colours and emblems while the first years slept that night.

[@itsame43]

I did the quiz and I'm Hufflepuff with a wildcat pothronus and a spruce wand with a Phoenix feather core

[@Jacobb-fm8ny]

Do owlery next

[@lordprecliktwo7332]

13:24 About this, it was explained in the Hogwarts legacy game, where generic robes after sorting are spell modified to match the house they are in

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

I thought that might be the case. Really want to play Hogwarts Legacy!

[@seamarie3111]

@@jeremyherbertofficialIt is SO much fun! It's not terribly difficult either, even for me, witha a vision impairment. It has excellent accessibility, voice acting, and the castle, Hogsmeade, and surrounding world are just stunning!

[@felipeaoyama3274]

Where's the 2022 & 2023 LEGO Harry Potter Sets?

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

In my basement waiting to be built.

[@theamazingwiggles]

Are you gonna review some miss 2021-2023 sets?

[@jeremyherbertofficial]

My plan (eventually) is to review every Harry Potter set, but I definitely will be working back through the 2021-2023 sets I missed.

[@Jacobb-fm8ny]

If your size better be grifindoor

[@Jacobb-fm8ny]

Typo.
