Attention: The New Lego Harry Potter Sorting Hat Is on Amazon

This is probably the best news ever for Harry Potter fans: Lego just released a Sorting Hat on March 1, and it’s taking the brand to a whole new level of interactive fun. This magical set includes the first-ever “sound brick,” which means that it can talk and finally tell you whether you truly belong in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. Even better, for your shopping convenience, the new launch is available on Amazon with Prime shipping (in case you haven’t quite mastered Accio yet).
The question on everyone’s mind: Yes, you can actually put the hat on and get sorted — just place it lightly against your head to activate the sensors on the bottom (the sound block contains 31 different phrases)! Not only does the Sorting Hat talk but the eyes and mouth move as well, making it even more enchanting. If you have a Harry Potter fan in your life, this would make a truly wicked gift.
If you haven’t done a Lego set since you were a kid, this shouldn’t be too intimidating: At only 561 pieces, it’s a relatively easy build compared to something like the Hogwarts Express, which has over 5,000 pieces. When the hat isn’t being used, rest it on a display stand that has little emblems for each of the houses.
Along with the Sorting Hat, you’ll also get a Harry Potter minifig wearing a tiny hat with a face that rotates from that stressed-out “not Slytherin” moment to relief when he gets sorted into Gryffindor.
The hat is selling quickly, so don’t wait to add yours to cart. If you’re looking for something a little more budget-friendly or want a set designed for kids, six other brand-new Harry Potter Lego offerings were also just released (Pro tip: These would make great Easter basket stuffers!).
