Back to Hogwarts is celebrated every September 1 — the day the Hogwarts Express departs in the books — and this year it comes with a solid wave of discounts on Harry Potter merch, led by LEGO and physical media.
The biggest deals are at the LEGO Store, which is running a Back to Hogwarts promotion with a discount on the Diagon Alley set — currently at its lowest price ever, though on backorder at LEGO's own store. Amazon has it for a couple dollars more if you need it sooner. The LEGO Store is also offering double points on all Harry Potter purchases and has launched a new exclusive The Ministry of Magic - Collectors' Edition set, one of the priciest LEGO releases this September. On the film side, the 11-film 4K Blu-ray collection — which bundles all eight Harry Potter movies with the three Fantastic Beasts films and came out in May 2026 — is seeing its first major discount since launch. The eight-film set is also on sale, but the 11-film box has the better cut. Rounding things out, the PS5 version of LEGO Harry Potter Collection is down to $19.99 physical. It covers Years 1–4 and Years 5–7 in one package, both of which earned positive scores from IGN. Simple games, but genuinely fun ones.
Book deals are notably absent this time around. Despite Labor Day sales and a Barnes & Noble Book Haul event running this week, there are no standout price cuts on Harry Potter titles — especially on the illustrated editions, which remain full price. The new illustrated version of The Half-Blood Prince is due next month, which may trigger fresh deals once it lands.
If you've been waiting for a reason to grab the Diagon Alley LEGO set or finally upgrade your film collection to 4K, this is a decent window to do it. The LEGO double-points offer in particular adds extra value if you're already a regular at the LEGO Store.
