A talented LEGO fan online has transformed the Harry Potter Hagrid and Harry’s Privet Drive Escape set into the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars. More impressively, they’ve used all 124 LEGO pieces from the original set, without using any extra.
Hagrid and Harry’s Privet Drive Escape is an extremely small Harry Potter LEGO set featuring just 124 pieces. It was released at the start of 2026 for $19.99, an excellent tribute to the duo’s escape from the Death Eaters in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Frankly, there’s very little in this set to suggest it would make for a good Millennium Falcon alt build, but one fan has proven this completely incorrect.
Custom LEGO Millennium Falcon Build With Hagrid and Harry’s Privet Drive Escape Set
Over on Reddit, user Swiz399 shared their custom LEGO Millennium Falcon, which has been created using all 124 pieces from the 2026 Hagrid and Harry’s Privet Drive Escape set. They themselves acknowledge that the pieces do not necessarily lend themselves to a Millennium Falcon, describing it as a “tricky” build to complete. According to the user, the end result is “very fragile but pretty much all legal,” and it’s cool to see the Star Wars ship come to life in such a creative way. The Falcon’s silhouette is still there, even through all the Harry Potter-themed bricks.
Sadly, Switz399 hasn’t shared instructions for fans to put together this custom LEGO Millennium Falcon build for themselves on Rebrickable or elsewhere. Looking at the alt build, it’s probably not the type that someone could eyeball and try to do without the instructions. However, it’s still good to know it’s possible for anyone who wants to give it a try.
There’s an entire community of LEGO fans committed to building custom Millennium Falcons out of other sets. The dedicated subreddit is named r/oopsmillenniumfalcon, where fans share their unique builds with other like-minded builders. It’s certainly a very interesting subcommunity, but one that’s easy to appreciate.
Harry Potter and Star Wars are two big IPs for LEGO, and 2027 should be a big year for both. There have already been a few LEGO Star Wars sets confirmed for 2027 as the franchise celebrates its 50th anniversary in style. Meanwhile, the premiere of the new Harry Potter TV show later this year opens the door to tons of new LEGO sets next year, with nothing confirmed yet.
