Alright, Potterheads — this one’s been a long time coming. Warner Bros. Games, TT Games, and the LEGO Group have officially confirmed that the LEGO Harry Potter Collection is hitting Nintendo Switch 2 on October 16, 2026. If you missed it the first time around (or the second, or the third), this is your best shot yet to dive back into Hogwarts in full LEGO brickwork glory.
The timing couldn’t be better either. With the Harry Potter franchise celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and the HBO TV series adaptation just around the corner, the wizarding world is back in a massive way — and this game release fits perfectly into that renewed hype cycle.
What’s Included in the LEGO Harry Potter Collection?
This isn’t some stripped-down port. The Switch 2 version of the LEGO Harry Potter Collection is the full package. You’re getting both classic TT Games titles — LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 — covering all eight Harry Potter films from Philosopher’s Stone right through to Deathly Hallows Part 2.
That means dozens of hours of exploring Hogwarts, unlocking characters, smashing LEGO bits apart, and cackling every time someone gets flung across the screen. The humour holds up, the gameplay loop is still weirdly satisfying, and the sheer amount of content is ridiculous for the price.
On top of the two games, all previously released DLC packs are bundled in. That includes:
- Character Pack – 10 extra playable characters including Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, Salazar Slytherin, Peeves, Luna (Lion Head), Harry (Yule Ball), Hermione (Pink Dress), Ron Weasley (Ghoul), and Lockhart (Straitjacket).
- Spell Pack – 5 extra spells: Cantis, Densaugeo, Ducklifors, Melofors, and Tentaclifors.
Everything on one key card if you go physical. Clean.
Who’s Behind the Switch 2 Port?
The game was originally developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Games. For the Switch 2 version, the porting work was handled by Double Eleven and Cast Iron Games — both studios with solid track records on console ports. The game supports 1-2 players locally with drop-in/drop-out co-op, which was always one of the best things about the original releases. Grab a friend, split the screen, argue over who gets to be Hermione.
Price, Release Date, and Where to Buy
LEGO Harry Potter Collection launches on October 16, 2026 at a price of $49.99 (£39.99 in the UK). It’ll be available both physically through retail stores and digitally on the Nintendo eShop. The physical edition ships on a Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card, so both games are on one card — no splitting them up or managing two separate downloads.
Pre-orders are already live on the Nintendo eShop right now, so if you’re definitely picking this up, get the pre-order in and you’re set for launch day.
Why This Comeback Feels Huge Right Now
Look, the LEGO Harry Potter games have been around in various forms since 2016 on PS4, then Switch in 2018, then PS5, Xbox Series, and PC in 2024. But putting them on Nintendo Switch 2 — Nintendo’s freshest and most powerful handheld hardware — means a whole new audience gets to experience these games with proper performance and portability.
The announcement came during the Back to Hogwarts 2026 event, which also brought a massive wave of new LEGO Harry Potter building sets including the Ministry of Magic Collectors’ Edition and a Mini Hogwarts Castle. The franchise is everywhere right now, and honestly? It feels like 2001 again in the best possible way.
For fans who grew up smashing through Hogwarts in co-op on a couch, this is pure nostalgia fuel. And for anyone new to the series, this Switch 2 version is the definitive way to experience both games in one go.
If you’re into retro gaming experiences making a modern comeback, you’ll love what’s happening with other franchises right now too. Rayman Legends Retold is also making waves with its Deluxe Edition, and classic gaming nostalgia is absolutely having a moment in 2026. There’s also been some wild news on the arcade gaming front — check out this wild Super Mario Bros playable YouTube story that’s doing numbers right now.
Should You Buy LEGO Harry Potter Collection on Switch 2?
If you’ve never played it — yes, immediately. If you played it on older hardware and want a portable version with all the DLC bundled in — also yes. At $49.99 for both games and every piece of DLC, the value is genuinely hard to argue with.
The LEGO Harry Potter games were charming when they came out, and they’re still charming now. They’re not trying to be something they’re not — they’re goofy, fun, collectathon platformers with a Wizarding World coat of paint, and they absolutely nail that vibe. Perfect for solo play, perfect for co-op, and now perfectly suited for the Switch 2’s hardware.
October 16 is right around the corner. Get your pre-order in.
