There may be plenty of Harry Potter LEGO sets already, but the release cadence is not slowing down one bit in 2026. A big new batch is now available, including the gorgeous display piece depicting key scenes and characters from the Sorcerer’s Stone.

The LEGO Group has introduced LEGO SMART Play, a revolutionary platform that brings LEGO creations to life with responsive bricks, minifigures and tags, all without screens.

The LEGO Group says it will introduce a new “SMART Play" system in 2026 designed to make brick-built creations respond to how children move, hold and imagine with their toys.

The Smart Play system as a whole is going to make its debut in the Lego Star Wars theme, with—obviously—an X-Wing set and a TIE Figher set, as well as a Throne Room Duel set featuring Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader battling in front of a cackling Palpatine. Those twin lightsaber duel tags sure are going to be a whole lot of fun to play with.
