LOVED (6)

01Inclusion of all four core characters in one affordable set at $24.99 MSRP
02Size contrast between the large Hagrid figure and the smaller Harry, Ron, and Hermione figures
03Updated details on Harry, Ron, and Hermione compared to earlier BrickHeadz versions
04Hair construction work, particularly Hagrid's bulk and Harry's distinctive piece
05Easy, relaxing build accessible to a wide age range
06Strong display value alongside larger Harry Potter sets such as Hogwarts Castle

CRITICIZED (3)

01Hagrid was already available in the Hagrid and Buckbeak BrickHeadz set, making this a partial repeat for collectors who already own that set
02Hermione and Ron feel relatively plain compared to Hagrid and Harry
03Some felt the price could have been reduced by removing Hagrid given his prior release

"LEGO has decided that we didn't have enough Harry Potter"

The Brothers Brick

"The miniature versions of the students are undeniably cute, and much more to scale with the Hogwarts gamekeeper that accompanies them in this set."

Ecosystem

40412: Hagrid and Buckbeak — This newer Hagrid is an improvement over the 2020 version, with smoother hair and a more natural appearance, avoiding the very straight top and looking more like Kubla Kraus from Rankin & Bass Jack Frost

41615 Harry Potter & Hedwig — The new 3x3 miniature version is much more to scale with Hagrid and provides a more compact alternative to the 2018 4x4 version.

41621 Ron Weasley & Albus Dumbledore — The new 3x3 Ron is more appropriately scaled with the updated Hagrid compared to the 2018 4x4 version.

41616 Hermione Granger — The new 3x3 Hermione maintains similarity to the 2018 version but at a better scale with Hagrid.

✓Much more appropriate to scale with Hagrid compared to previous 4x4 versions
✓Revised Hagrid is an improvement over 2020 GWP version with better forehead proportions and printed waistcoat

Key Cons

✕Releasing a second Hagrid in a few months is puzzling given similarity to previous version
✕Harry's glasses representation via round tiles is somewhat unconventional

The Brothers Brick: The improved Hagrid BrickHeadz design and scaled group display of the main trio could drive collector interest

Exclusivity

The Brothers Brick: Multi-character licensed set released through standard retail (available June 1, 2021)

Brickset Reviews: LEGO.com release on 1st June 2021; one of two Harry Potter BrickHeadz sets released simultaneously

Resale

Brickset Reviews: Likely to maintain decent collector interest given this is a re-release of popular characters in an improved form, though not necessarily expected to appreciate significantly
