LEGO Harry Potter Weasley's Wizard Wheezes Comparison | 76422 vs 75978 vs 10217

[@jmwilliams88]

Didn't realize the considerable size difference until I saw them now side-by-side. It would be cool to see the larger set modified to include all the interior product details that came with the new small one. Like you mentioned, that would be a best-of-both-worlds combination. Also curious how the Owl Post set looks combined with the Diagon Alley set, though I feel like the other buildings would dwarf it.

[@hanselmansell7555]

First i was addicted to Lego Star Wars but now I realise it was all just a gateway to Harry Potter.. 🤪

[@HollyOnFilm]

This is me but backwards, the pop culture themes all flow into one another so well that it’s become a matter of getting which ever has the best sets at the time

[@hanselmansell7555]

@@HollyOnFilm so true! Just decided that my next moc will be a Hogwarts battle on Hoth 😊 Really appreciate your channel btw, honest, informative and entertaining everytime 👍

[@That_Girl_Robin]

⁠@@hanselmansell7555 What. Tf you mean "Hogwarts battle on hoth" you gonna put an AT-AT in front of hogwarts or something?

[@AbleMan100]

Yo! Same!

[@livingphoenix1]

Personally, I think it’s a good idea. I mean, not everyone is going to have room for a full set of diagon alley, or afford the set either, and some won’t want every building, so being able to pick and choose which buildings you want to get is a good thing I think, I’ll definitely be getting the Weasley’s wizard wheezes building rather than getting the full set as I don’t want all the buildings and I don’t have the room for the full set either as I also collect a lot of transformers

[@joevictor53]

I feel like a lot of the people that were blindly trashing the new set before it even came out are in their own little bubble where they think everyone can afford every massive set and that they'd even want to. Like some people would rather go for something smaller and cheaper. It's like complaining about Lego releasing Star Wars ships in a smaller size. Yes the UCS Slave I was a thing but a lot of people don't have the space or money for it and would rather go for something like the 20th Anniversary Slave I

[@livingphoenix1]

@@joevictor53 a good point. The castle and grounds they’re releasing is also a good alternative if you don’t want to go into the modular sets or try to get the larger version of the castle which is expensive already and only going to become more expensive as it’s a retired set now. I was lucky and got it on sale

[@heisenberg6142]

@@livingphoenix1I agree but the big hogwarts is not retired yet btw, has until atleast December

[@livingphoenix1]

@@heisenberg6142 I believe it has here in Australia, last I heard anyway

[@nicolegreenaway4085]

That's what the problem is some people think everyone have the 4 and change for the big set but they dont, so if a cheaper smaller alternative is available well it's going to be snatched up.

[@TSLstudio2010]

Damn the size different is so big :O I honestly prefer the sticker face (looks more like a weasley face) compared to the brick one (which looks a bit off to me)

[@joeldbaker]

Fun fact: the same LEGO Designer developed the concept model for both sets. It was me 😁

[@tommymiller702]

I wish they'd have either released nocturn alley or the opposite side of the street for the original diagon alley as there are still loads of shops they could have made, rather than these smaller builds!

[@HollyOnFilm]

If they keep going with the smaller ones I hope the Leaky Cauldron and Knockturn Alley are some of the first they do, there’s such a great opportunity to expand the variety

[@tommymiller702]

@@HollyOnFilm I would rather they did those as attachable modulars for 75978 though, instead of for these play scale sets. Maybe they will end up doing both. The new Gringotts looks more compatible in scale with the diagon alley set, so they might continue to release add ons in the future. It's just me being selfish wanting them to focus on the things I want, when I know these new sets are targeted for a younger audience, and are cheaper and more accessible to more people, so I get it. I'm just gutted cos I'd love a huge modular diagon alley system like with the creator expert line!

[@dhinny7382]

Wow that combination of the new set with the 2010 Diagon Alley is destroying me 😍😭

[@HollyOnFilm]

I KNOW RIGHT! It looks so good and makes me so excited to see what they do

[@BrickTemplar]

Honestly, I loved it

[@rkc62]

I was really hoping these would be more similar in size so you could add new buildings to the (semi) original Diagon Alley. Given they are priced similarly, the difference is a real shame.

[@biblio_mama]

Thank you for the comprehensive comparison and honest impressions regarding the pros and cons of each version.

[@TheRealFeechLaManna]

Good comparison review, thanks!

[@1000bip]

I have always planned on getaway the D2C Diagon alley. My only thought about buying this one instead is could the inclusion of the owl post mean that there will be additional buildings in future sets. If every future set includes one building from the D2C and one new building maybe we’ll end up with both sides of Diagon alley, even though they’re smaller. I’m going to wait a little longer and see what the next building released is and if it comes with another smaller building

[@BOYGOSGO]

Just bought the 400 lego batcave and it is making me feel like every other lego batcave I’ve ever built is the smaller building in this video 😂

[@richardoxley4897]

I've already got the one in the Diagon Alley set, I wanted to check out the play set one. So that's why I watched your video. Keep up the awesome work.

[@cherrycherrychums]

I like how more fun the shop is in the smaller one.

[@imanpepion777]

I like how you present Harry Potter I am not into harry at all but I watch all your Harry Potter videos because then I know about them for investing reasons and other stuff your very informative and lovely to watch

[@stevegallo8483]

Great comparison of the two Weasley Wizarding Wheezes. By putting them side by side, you can tell how much smaller the new one is. If I were to get one, it would be the new one, because $450 for the D2C Diagon Alley set is well out of my budget.

[@jacizaci_3]

Thankyou so much for this video! So helpful!

[@daneherrman9034]

I like the 76422 the most because of its details and showing of the shop’s products like the puking pastilles, the Umbride on a Unicycle, and the Pygmy Puffs. However, its size does make me want to combine it with the 75978.

[@BrickHQ]

Thanks for making this video I didn't realize that the new one was that much shorter

[@BrightestWitchBricks]

Flawless comparison *chef’s kiss*💜🧡💜🧡

[@fechin4]

I’m so torn on what to do. If I should take the plunge on the big set or to get this one and see how the rest of the releases go.

[@MatteoCozza-em5tr]

Bellissimo video, molto interessante. Una domanda: come di fa a capire se un parco zoologico è a norma? Comunque sempre il top🤩 Grazie

[@MyOwnChannel92]

I own the old diagon alley and I‘m curious if you would buy the new weasleys wizards wheezes or sell the whole thing and buy the newer diagon alley and maybe the upcoming gringotts bank

[@jijowajaknxanma3439]

Looks amazing next to the gringotts, I heard new gringotts will be in scale with “the original diagon alley” or will it be with the new one? I guess it should be in scale with the old one since they’re both d2c

[@douglaswhiddon869]

I did eventually get the big set, even fot it before the price went up. But, I always thought that it should have been 4 individual sets. Would have been easier to pull the trigger and get them one at a time. I do hope they continue making more sets for the alley. My plan is to get the new one and use the extra products and figures to flesh out my original set. Might swap out the weasly head for the new one as it looks better. As for the little corner building, I think I'll place it behind the Nocturn Alley arch and get a Borgins and Burk sign to add to it. That will make it really cool.

[@kwong06]

Love the side by side with the original diagon alley! While I like that the new one added a lot of minifigures they definitely brought down the piece count

[@murtazasyed3392]

thanks! love the comparison video!

[@iambear6887]

Do you think there’s a way to MOC this into the bigger Diagon Alley version?

[@TiggerTom]

I like the oringal one better.

[@thatsruffdog]

I’m here after seeing the new Olivander’s set. It looks far better than the 2020 model solely for the fact that the stickers don’t split the name sign in the middle. And on top of that, you get all these amazing wand pieces! 😱 So my final verdict is, buy the Diagon Alley, sell the pieces for Olivander’s and buy the new Olivander’s set this summer. Then bricklink the stickered pieces from the 2023 Weasley shop to furnish the 2020 model (I personally don’t care for the figures besides Fred and George).

[@ThatOneLynel]

I'm such a big fan! Amazing video!

[@candybracelets]

The individual Weasley Wizard Wheezes looks like it came from Wish. It may technically be the same building as the one from the larger Diagon Alley set, but it's so much worse on every metric that it looks like a cheap knock-off rather than actual Lego. If the individual set had come first it may have done pretty well, but it'll be a tough sell when the Diagon Alley version is so good and technically only slightly more expensive.

[@___David__]

While the D2C version is obviously better, I have to commend the plaset for actually having a more accurate exterior with the third floor not missing and the store being more squarish. I think I'll move the original one to a square baseplate and use the pieces on the play set to extend the D2C set!

[@FeebleBricks]

Absolute class

[@nickymo]

I like it for the colors and other wacky fun stuff, I’m not really into hp lego in general bc its mostly minifigs in regular clothes and a lot of mint and sand color bricks

[@Teszab2]

Slightly offtopic, but I did love the old Diagon Alley shop sets (4719 and 4720) because they showed you that you don't necessarily need 77000 pieces to build a Diagon Alley shop. In recent years LEGO seems to prefer making huge and very expensive sets, hardly making any smaller ones, which means that fewer and fewer people can afford it. Back around 2000 the number of small, medium and large sets was more or less equal.

[@DZstudios.]

LEGO should do more of these cheaper alternatives specifically with Rivendell

[@HollyOnFilm]

I’d love to see how they’d transform Rivendell

[@warrennewman5325]

Wow awesome sets quite colourful

[@CCFilms97526]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@simonnash9563]

Great review Holly. Question: do you think the Sept Gringotts will be designed with 759978 or 76422 in mind in terms of display compatibility. I know the new Gringotts also has the cart system but that’s not a problem for us as we’ll look to slot it under the old faithful Bunnings table as we did with the Second Task set 😊 seeing the 2 WWWs side by side is making us reconsider the Big Bang vs Drip Feed question and which way we go

[@MayoHosko]

One is meant to look good in a city while the other is meant to be played with

[@largol33t12]

I wish they would expand to include friendly schools that visited Hogwarts such as Beauxbatons Adademy of Magic or the Durmstrang School.

[@daralop]

Holly we might end with a big surprise like the final set for the castle did

I keep searching ebay for someone selling just the puking pastilles build so I can add it to my Diagon Alley set.

[@martazedbricks]

Diagon Alley is the winner 💯

[@James_Lo]

Man... I had no idea it was that much smaller.

[@_Beau2005_]

I think they made this set because a lot of people just wanted this part of Diagon Alley and not the whole thing

[@gregoryferko138]

Didnt get the bigger set im ruining out of room and i have other big lego sets that i wanna display more. But i did get the smaller set and that will have to do. Again too many sets i want more than the bigger set.

[@j.k-lw7cm]

oh women...did this turn out good didn't it.

[@anderssorenson9998]

I just had the thought that Puking Pastilles would for sure be sold to anorexics which is a horrifying thought.

[@Abellyy]

I think it’s a good idea, as maybe some people would want this shop for a cheaper price :))

[@momaw_C1-10P]

Disappointing that local content only references overseas pricing

[@HollyOnFilm]

The US Dollar exchange rate is how Australia and many other countries pricing is determained. Since I can't constantly list off every currency, for every product, in all videos, I only reference multiple currencies in individual product reviews

Do we actually know that LEGO is going to remake all of the buildings of Diagon Alley? (Still love your videos btw, I love LEGO, especially LEGO Harry Potter, and none of my friends share this love, so you're kind of an imaginary friend to me, except that you're a real person of course. 🙂)
