If you collect LEGO Harry Potter sets, the new 76476 Ministry of Magic model just moved closer to reality: a first leaked image has surfaced, and earlier rumors now line up with a large, multi-scene build. Here’s what the leak suggests, who appears to be included, and what to watch for before LEGO makes anything official.
What changed: the first leaked image for 76476
A long-rumored LEGO Harry Potter set—identified as 76476 Ministry of Magic—has received its first image leak online. LEGO has not yet announced the product, but the timing of this leak and prior reports suggest it could arrive within a few months of the rumored window.
The leaked picture, shared via Rednote and circulated through Reddit, shows a blurry but recognizable version of the Ministry of Magic. The build appears to be organized into three vertical sections. The bottom layer looks like the cavernous foundations of the Wizarding World location, while the middle, largest tier depicts the Ministry itself. The top portion seems to shift to London’s Whitehall area, with elements such as a park bench, a phone box, and a tube station entrance suggested in the image.
Who’s included: minifigures hinted by the leak
The leak also appears to reinforce earlier claims that the set will include at least 10 minifigures. In the image, Dumbledore and Voldemort are visible dueling at the center of the Ministry scene—matching the kind of dramatic confrontation fans associate with the Harry Potter film era.
Dolores Umbridge can be seen near Voldemort, and Mad-Eye Moody appears on Dumbledore’s side. Other figures are harder to make out due to the low image quality, but one possibility mentioned by the leak coverage is Cornelius Fudge, a recurring Minister of Magic figure across much of the film run.
What comes next: rumored specs and how big this could be
Before the first image surfaced, leakers had already provided a rough target for what 76476 might include. Those earlier reports suggested a 3,491-piece set with 10+ minifigures, with an estimated retail price around $450.
Release timing is also rumored: September 1, 2026. As always, treat these details cautiously until LEGO confirms them.
If the piece count and overall scope hold up, the Ministry of Magic set could be among the largest LEGO Harry Potter releases. At 3,491 pieces, it would rank behind major display-heavy sets such as Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the Hogwarts Express Collector’s set, Diagon Alley, and the largest entry in the lineup: Hogwarts Castle.

Expert View
This leak looks credible in structure and character placement, especially with the Ministry scene composition and the visible minifigures. That said, the image quality is poor and several details remain rumor-based, so collectors should wait for LEGO’s official reveal before committing. If the rumored piece count is accurate, the set could become a standout display piece within the LEGO Harry Potter lineup—particularly for fans who prioritize large, multi-layer builds.
