Synthesized Verdict

"A 67.1 BrickScore with a Mixed Reviews tier honestly captures the set's position: Harry Potter fans and display collectors will love the impressive scale and posable figures, but the $119.99 price, Hermione's immovable head, and the absence of Ron hold it back from a stronger recommendation."

The 76393 Harry Potter and Hermione Granger brick-built figures earn a 67.1 BrickScore and a Mixed Reviews tier, reflecting a set that satisfies dedicated fans but draws meaningful criticism on price and the limitation of Hermione's immovable head caused by her hair construction. All available reviews come from owner accounts rather than independent expert critics, and that pool is unusually positive: 4.78 out of 5 stars across 157 ratings on Amazon and LEGO.com combined, with 90% saying they would recommend the set and a value_for_money score of 4.2 out of 5. The low expert consensus scores on minifigures (20) and value for money (39.7) suggest the set's trade-offs are real even where owner enthusiasm runs high.

Where they split: Expert scoring shows a sharp divide between minifigure quality (scored 20) and display value (83.6) and design aesthetics (79.1), suggesting critics found the execution strong visually but the licensed figure format uninspiring as a collecting proposition. Owner ratings at 4.78 run considerably warmer than the 67.1 BrickScore would suggest, a genuine critic-versus-buyer split that the Mixed Reviews tier reflects accurately.

LOVED (7)

01Large, impressive scale of the finished figures, frequently described as bigger than buyers expected
02Fully posable limbs including articulated arms and legs that mirror minifigure functionality
03Intricate hair layering on both characters, especially Hermione's dense small-piece construction
04Rewarding multi-hour build experience, with new techniques that avoid repetitive boredom
05Two separate characters in one box allows two builders to work simultaneously
06Strong display appeal, with finished figures described as conversation-starting centerpieces
07Harry's 3D wand accessory praised over the standard flat Lego baton

CRITICIZED (6)

01Hermione's hair construction locks her head in a forward-facing position, negating the movable head feature
02No Ron Weasley included, a consistently voiced disappointment across many reviews
03Leg construction is somewhat repetitive across both figures
04Price point ($119.99 USD, higher in other markets) is frequently cited as a barrier, with some buyers waiting for sales
05Some color similarities between pieces during build can cause confusion
06Build may be too straightforward for advanced builders, rated 10+ but completable quickly

3723 LEGO Mini-Figure (2000) — LEGO has made upscaled minifigs before, most notably one of the first adult-oriented sets ever produced, 3723, but not 6-scale ones and not with the level of detail and functionality found in 76393. The 3723 was 10x scale; 76393 achieves better proportional accuracy and articulation than earlier attempts.

AFOL 6-scale figures (UK community, ~2007–2015) — Official 76393 figures are far more sophisticated and refined than earlier AFOL builds, which lacked curved slopes and had crude blocky proportions. However, AFOL builder jsutton's custom figures are noted to be more accurate in leg proportions (slightly narrower, 11-wide vs 76393's 12-wide). LEGO's friction-joint approach using gears is praised as inspired compared to AFOL methods.

LEGO Minions buildable minifigures — Both are megafigure sets with similar form factor, though Harry/Hermione are noted as a not so fun build experience compared to the Minions set which looked fun to build

Regular LEGO Minifigures — Megafigures maintain the proportions and articulation of regular minifigures at a much larger scale; faces similar to Series 1 Harry Potter minifigure

WAIT FOR SALE

Key Pros

✓Exceptional engineering and sophisticated construction—friction joints, SNOT hair framework, and articulation are far more complex than expected
✓Highly poseable with near-minifigure equivalent poses thanks to carefully designed friction joints
✓Beautiful organic hair design using almost every curved slope in the parts portfolio

Key Cons

✕UK price of £120 is excessive and disproportionate to the 1600+ piece count; value proposition is poor at this price point
✕Limited availability (LEGO.com and Smyths Toys UK only); unlikely to see deep discounts in short term

Exclusivity

Brickset Reviews: Available only at LEGO.com and Smyths Toys in the UK; not widely distributed through general retail, reducing supply competition but also limiting discount channels.

Jay's Brick Blog: Wide retail – LEGO.com, LEGO Brand Retail Stores, and selected toy stores

Resale

Brickset Reviews: Reviewer does not explicitly predict strong aftermarket growth. The high official pricing, limited retail channels (LEGO.com and Smyths only), and lack of early heavy discounts suggest resale prices may remain relatively stable but soft. Set may not appreciate significantly unless LEGO discontinues the product line or produces only a few more themes.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

Cloth cape
Harry's cloth cape affixes under arm joints rather than around neck like minifig ones; unique attachment method
Lightsaber rods
Inside wands to replicate fictional wand cores

What Owners Say · summarized from 27 written reviews (LEGO, Amazon, Walmart)

Owners love the set as a display piece with great detail and build enjoyment, though many wish Ron were included to complete the trio and some report minor build issues like Harry's wobbly head.
