Giant book retailer Barnes & Noble is about to expand their LEGO Harry Potter line this summer. Four new sets apparate into stores on July 1st. Barnes & Noble will be the exclusive retailer of these sets from July 1st to July 31st.
Four new Wizarding World LEGO adventures will join the already large collection of Potter powered fun found at the big box bookseller. In addition to new LEGO sets, B&N plans a special LEGO building event mid-July.
Barnes & Noble was there from the beginning. As a well-established bookseller, all of J.K. Rowling’s novels cast their spell upon would-be wizards. In addition to selling spellbinding stories, B&N hosted events celebrating book releases. Today, the company carries cauldrons full of fun Wizarding World wonders. In just a few weeks, four new Harry Potter LEGO sets will join the collection.
