CRITICIZED (8)

01Minifigures are not original; Snape's arms are identical to set 76441, and Hermione reuses elements from many boxes

Dimensional Analysis

Investment Layer

Value drivers

Zusammengebaut: The Otter Patronus in Satin Trans-Light Blue is highlighted as a value driver, being in a new color variant. BrickLink prices are currently high.

Hoth Bricks: Otter Patronus figure and collectible portrait are value drivers for collectors who missed earlier Patronus versions.

Exclusivity

Zusammengebaut: Wide retail availability. Part of the 25th anniversary Harry Potter collection with random collectible tiles.

Hoth Bricks: Limited exclusive elements; minifigures and Patronus are not entirely new to the theme.

Resale

Zusammengebaut: The reviewer expresses uncertainty about whether an entire product line of such cauldron sets is necessary, suggesting potential market saturation if LEGO continues the concept. No strong aftermarket growth expected.

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Otter Patronus (67631) in Satin Trans-Light BlueValue
Previously appeared only in 2020 in Glitter Trans-Light Blue in set 75966, and in Reddish Brown printed form (67631pb01) in sets 60394 and 21338. This Satin Trans-Light Blue variant is new and highly praised by the reviewer.
Blue Violet color (new)Value
Fills a gap in the pink and purple color palette between Dark Purple and Medium Lavender. Appears on bubble elements (5533) in Satin Trans-Purple and half-round 1×1 tiles (24246). The reviewer particularly appreciates this new color.
Bubble element (5533) in Satin Trans-PurpleValue
Previously introduced in 2024 for set 76431, later used as a cactus in sets 76445 and 40770. Here used for the first time in Satin Trans-Purple, appearing as the bubbles in the potion. Described as excellent and versatile for other themes like LEGO Space.
Printed potion vessel (3626pb4085)
Newly printed design featuring insects stored inside.
6×6 round tile with Hogwarts Logo (7212pb004)
Beautifully printed final front element, though the asymmetrical stud arrangement is mildly criticized.
Collectible tile (22385pb333)Value
Randomly included from a set of 14 different designs. The reviewer's sample features Jocunda Sykes. Part of the 25th anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter.
