Harry Potter ( Theme ) Harry Potter was a licensed theme which was based on the " Harry Potter " movies produced by Warner Brothers ( which are , in turn , based on the original series of 7 books of the same name by J . K . Rowling ) . The theme was introduced in 2001 , as one of the LEGO Group ' s first major licenses , and initially ran until 2007 . It then returned in 2010 ( due to the 7th Harry Potter movie ) , and ran until 2012 . The theme will relaunch in 2018 , details are yet to be announced . The story of the theme revolves around a boy named Harry Potter , a young wizard , whose parents were murdered by Lord Voldemort , the greatest dark sorcerer of all time . Each movie in the series has a specific subtheme ( although the two " Deathly Hallows " films are condensed into one subtheme ) , with " Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix " and " Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince " being the smallest , at only one set each ( although several other sets include elements from the films ) . In total , four video games based on the theme have been released : , , , and . In 2014 Dumbledore appeared in The LEGO Movie . Description . Early years . The original years of the theme were quite different from what it was to become later on . The first wave of sets focused almost exclusively on various locations in and around Hogwarts Castle , with the only exceptions being 4723 Diagon Alley Shops , and 4708 Hogwarts Express . At this point in time , the colour scheme of Hogwarts was very different from the iconic current scheme , and featured light grey and black walls . However , certain features were similar , with Sand Green roof parts , and some Tan wall areas . There were some notable exceptions from this early scheme , however , such as 4722 Gryffindor House , which featured almost entirely orange architecture . The minifigures of the early years were all yellow - skinned , with the exceptions of Professor Snape , whose head was a white color that glowed in the dark , and Peeves , who was light grey . The theme ' s second year focused primarily on the second film , " Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets " . The year moved away from the Hogwarts theme of the previous year , featuring such disparate sets as 4728 Escape from Privet Drive , 4727 Aragog in the Dark Forest , and 4720 Knockturn Alley . There were still quite a few Hogwarts related sets , but considerably less than seen previously . Such sets as 4729 Dumbledore ' s Office and 4731 Dobby ' s Release began to change the castle ' s colour scheme to what is now recognized as the classic color scheme for the castle , featuring tan and sand green heavily . In 2004 , sets based on " Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban " were released . This year , the minifigures of the theme were revamped . Many of theme were the same as those released previously , but all of them were given flesh - toned skin , with the exception Professor Snape , who was still fluorescent . Several sets were remade this year , 4758 Hogwarts Express , 4757 Hogwarts Castle , and 4754 Hagrid ' s Hut , all of which had been released as separate sets in years previous . Notably , this year also saw the release of the theme ' s first mini set , 4695 Mini Knight Bus . 2005 - 2007 . " Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire " , released in 2005 , featured only four sets , each one based on one of the three Triwizard Tournament tasks , with the exception of 4768 The Durmstrang Ship . The sets based on the tasks are 4767 Harry and the Hungarian Horntail , based on the first task , 4762 Rescue from the Merpeople , based on the second , and 4766 Graveyard Duel , based on Harry ' s battle with Voldemort at the conclusion of the third task . No sets were released in 2006 , and only one , based on " Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix " , was released in 2007 .

In 2010 , the " Harry Potter " theme returned , with a set based on " Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince " . The only new set to be released in that year that was not a remake was 4840 The Burrow , which included a model of the Weasley ' s house , The Burrow . All minifigures released in this year were completely redesigned , and featured considerably more detail than any in the theme before . < br > 2011 , the final full year of the theme , featured the release of a few sets under the new " Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows " subtheme , as well as several subtheme - less promotional sets , of which the correct branding can only be guessed at . < br > In 2012 , a final " Harry Potter " set ( or rather , book ) was released , " " , which included an exclusive version of Harry , in a suit .
