Leaks are a major problem for the LEGO Group, as LEGO® products have become more popular, the interest in future releases has risen. This has seen new sets leaked in a number of different ways, from insider information, stock room snaps, retailer mistakes and even random Instagram channels. But the latest leak is something completely unheard of. Some shoppers in Australia and New Zealand, including this one on Reddit, have been receiving the as yet unannounced LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express set in place of the Lion Knights’ Castle. The new set is a UCS-style take on the iconic train from the Harry Potter movies, with various scenes of the movies captured in the set. It also features a number of minifigures including older versions of some key characters. The 5129-piece set is expected to be officially released on September 1st and will hopefully be officially revealed before. Please note this obviously is the official reveal of the set and the images featured here were first shared on Reddit.
