The toy will be available August 1, 2018 with the others set to be released later in 2018. Included in that release will also be Wizarding World characters in new LEGO BrickHeadz building sets.

"When it first launched in 2001, LEGO Harry Potter was a global sellout due to its broad appeal and ability to spark imaginative play, so we're thrilled to go deeper into the Wizarding World to bring even more magic and excitement to LEGO play. The Harry Potter< and Fantastic Beasts stories are perfectly suited to construction play, and our designers cannot wait for fans to see how the films are reimagined in our new collection of building sets and collectibles," said Jill Wilfert, vice president, licensing and entertainment for the LEGO Group, in a press release.
