Synthesized Verdict

"A highly celebrated CMF series that delivers exceptional character fidelity and several genuinely new parts, earning a BrickScore of 85.8 and near-universal praise from Harry Potter fans, though the one-per-box Percival Graves chase pack creates real frustration for set completers and pulls owner ratings down at mass-market retailers."

Reviewers were enthusiastic about the 2018 Harry Potter Collectable Minifigures series, praising the exceptional character detail, clever accessories, and the welcome introduction of new articulated teen legs. Owner ratings tell a more divided story: LEGO.com buyers averaged 4.21 out of 5, but Amazon buyers pulled the overall average down to 3.17 across 491 ratings, largely due to frustration over Percival Graves being packed only one per box. The expert BrickScore of 85.8 reflects the genuine quality of the figures themselves, not the blind-bag hunt.

What reviewers are saying

Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

Series 18 — Like Series 18, this series includes a chase minifigure (Percival Graves), with only one per 60 minifigures in a case, rather than three full sets per case as with majority of previous series.

2004 Professor Trelawney LEGO version — This new version is a welcome addition for fans; the 2004 version currently sells for $52 used or $83 new, making this a significant value for staff collectors.

Hogwarts Great Hall set (Hedwig and Scabbers) — Hedwig and Scabbers in this CMF series feature subtly different printing than the Hogwarts Great Hall versions, offering variants for collectors.

75956 Quidditch Match set — Draco Malfoy in this CMF uses short legs to match the Quidditch players in the regular set, maintaining scale consistency.

"LEGO has done an excellent job with this series, filling in many gaps and bringing new life to many woefully outdated characters."

Key Pros

✓22 unique characters, the greatest number in any CMF series yet
✓Fills many gaps in Harry Potter character roster (e.g., first Cedric Diggory minifigure, first Professor Trelawney since 2004)
✓Exceptional character detail and printing

Key Cons

✕Nagini snake element is frustratingly out of System in dimensions; 8 studs long but lacks obvious interlocking connections, almost entirely non-compatible with standard LEGO studs
✕Harry Potter in Pajamas' invisibility cloak is a massive piece that leaves only head exposed, limiting alternative uses

Investment Layer

Value drivers

The Brothers Brick: Percival Graves / Gellert Grindelwald (chase figure, 1 per case of 60); Professor Trelawney (first appearance in 14 years, previously $52-$83 on secondary market); Luna Lovegood with new hair mold and Spectrespecs variant; Albus Dumbledore (best version yet per reviewer).

Brickset Reviews: Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Cho Chang, and Dean Thomas represent first-ever LEGO appearances; exclusive outfit variants of main characters (Harry in Hogwarts robes, etc.)

Exclusivity

The Brothers Brick: Blind-pack collectible minifigure series; exclusive to this CMF line. Each character available only in these packs (unless variants appear in other sets). Percival Graves is rarest at 1 per case.

Brickset Reviews: Licensed Harry Potter collectable minifigures series; 22 unique figures available only in blind-bag format; multiple exclusive character variants and accessories not available elsewhere

Resale

The Brothers Brick: Strong secondary market expected, particularly for chase figure Percival Graves (Grindelwald variant) and characters unavailable elsewhere like Professor Trelawney and specific house variants (Cho Chang as only Ravenclaw sweater in CMF line).

Brickset Reviews: Not explicitly addressed in Part 1 review; however, exclusive variants and first appearances suggest potential collector value

Minifigures & Standout Parts

In this set (1)

Harry Potter

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Wands (6 colors)
New element in multiple colors included with characters that wield them; moderately soft plastic, come in pairs attached to sprue, accumulate quickly
Teen legs (4 plates tall)
New element that is bendable with anti-stud holes like classic legs, shorter than regular legs but taller than short legs, allows minifigures to sit on chairs/plates and ride bikes without looking awkward
Dress element
New element used for Lord Voldemort's robes and Professor Trelawney's dress, printed on front only
Mandrake root and stem
Two new elements included with Neville, significant improvement over previous LEGO mandrake, stem has accessory/plume holes in top and bottom, root has hollow stud on top and 3.18 rod bottom with accessory/plume hole
Nagini snake
New semi-hard plastic element that is frighteningly realistic but frustratingly almost entirely out of System in dimensions, 8 studs long, lacks obvious interlocking connections
Teacup and saucer
Two new elements for Professor Trelawney, saucer is slightly wider than minifigure head (essentially 1×1 round plate with wider lip), cup has accessory/plume hole on bottom of handle

What Owners Say

Harry Potter CMF Series 1 is a hugely popular collectible run that fans praise for exceptional detail and accessories, though blind-bag frustration and rare chase figures draw consistent complaints.

COMMON PRAISE

+Exceptional character detail and print quality, including hidden details like the inside of Harry's invisibility cloak
+Strong accessory variety with new pieces including Hedwig, a Niffler, suitcases, and wands for nearly every figure
+Broad character selection spanning both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, covering figures not available in any set
+Satisfying hunt experience for many buyers, with medium-leg pieces praised as ideal for teenage characters

COMMON COMPLAINTS

−Chase figures like Percival Graves and Grindelwald appear only once per box, making completion very difficult and expensive
−Duplicate-heavy blind-bag ordering leads to disappointment, with buyers reporting multiple copies of the same figure in large orders
−Display plates lack printed graphics, unlike the Batman CMF series
−Some buyers reported misleading product listings suggesting multiple figures were included for one price
