In 2018, we got the large direct to consumers (D2C) microscale Hogwarts castle and in 2020 we got the Diagon Alley set. So I had been wondering - would 2021 be like 2019 - with no big set revealed in the second half of the year? Finally, we know the answer - and I like it! LEGO has produced an amazing looking set of Hogwarts Icons, which is coming soon to a LEGO store near you.
At the beginning of 2021, LEGO released the Hogwarts Crests set in their wall arts series. It was well received and allowed buyers to build the crest of any of the four Hogwarts houses, or in case you had multiple sets, build an even larger crest for the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry itself. These may all have been tried, but now, three additional builds have been made available...
1 January is just around the corner, and with that five new LEGO Harry Potter sets become available. I've previously reviewed the four Hogwarts Moments buildable books.

While not available in stores till January 2021, LEGO has formally announced the new LEGO Arts set Harry Potter Hogwarts Crests (set 31201), along with some photos of it. It shows that in addition to building either of the four house crests from the set, you can also build a complete crest with all four houses, though it will require four sets to do so.
