The summer 2024 LEGO Harry Potter wave was marked by many magical creatures, highlighting the evolution of LEGO design. These plastic creatures have new molds and scales, and the details of their appearance were taken to a new level. Are you ready to study the dangerous and unpredictable Magizoology on Hogwarts grounds? It will be an unforgettable lesson! Aragog: Giant of the Forbidden Forest The giant Acromantula named Aragog is one of the most mysterious creatures living in the heart of the dark Forbidden Forest.
