I found set #76400-1: Hogwarts Carriage and Thestrals from the 2022 Harry Potter line on sale before Christmas. I finally got to assemble it so here’s a quick review. This set was released on 20 June 2022 in the US and retails for $19.99. It contains 121 pieces and works out to $0.165 per piece. It’s a bit high in my opinion. Especially for such a small set. I purchased it for $15.99 so slightly better. The Harry Potter theme always seems to have one or two sets a year at a lower price point so I think this is it for 2022.

Nothing special about the box. The front shows the full set with the Harry Potter logo and movie characters. The back shows the set again and some of the play features.

The contents are two parts bags and an instruction booklet. The instruction booklet is printed with a white background which makes it easier to see some of the darker pieces. I’m a fan of this switch.

And here’s the build! You get a carriage, a tree, two minifigures, and the two thestrals. You can’t expect a ton of details in such a small build, but it’s not too bad. Plus Harry Potter fans will get thestrals, yet another Harry Potter minifigure, and a Luna Lovegood minifigure. I can’t complain about this one considering the size of the set.

Overall, I wouldn’t grab this set unless you’re a Harry Potter fan or you’re looking for the thestrals for a MOC. It’s a good set if you want a lower price point option as a gift for a kid/adult, but it’s overpriced at $20. Look for it to go on sale or use it to get an order to pass a GWP limit.

Here’s a closer look at the minifigures. Both come with wands. Harry has an apple and Luna has a small purse and a 1x1 tile. I’m not sure what the tile is for… The set also has a printed 2x3 tile for the Quibbler newsletter that she reads in the movie/book.

The thestrals look pretty accurate. They don’t have moving parts except for the wings you attach to the adult. If you’re looking to build a Harry Potter MOC of a scene with them in it, then this is your chance to get these creatures. Beyond that, you’ll have to find other things to do with them.

Happy building!
