Rumors about a massive LEGO Harry Potter wizard chess set are flying around the Internet. Remember the rather violent version of regular chess depicted in the Harry Potter movies? According to Instagram user lego_fulcrum, set number 76391 will be based on the scene in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone where Harry, Ron, and Hermione play a dangerous game of wizard chess in order to get to the stone in time:
If buying the recently released sets left you pretty broke, you should start saving up, because the same Instagram user reported that this new set will cost $249.99. If that’s really what the price tag’s going to be, it’s fair to assume that the set will include pretty much everything from that scene, so we can probably expect to get the entire chess set with its surroundings. New minifigures are not likely to be included here since the only characters present in this scene were the golden trio.
It would be pretty exciting if this rumor turns out to be true, but the LEGO Group hasn’t said anything about it yet, so for now, we’ll wait, but we’ll be the first to let you know if it gets confirmed.

Lego was a lot better when you just got an assortment of pieces and you had use your... GASP... imagination to think up something to build, all by yourself, and then... build it.
