BODY: Wizards, dust off your wands: the blocky version of Hogwarts is heading to Nintendo's newest console. Sega announced on September 2, 2026 that it will publish WB Games' LEGO Harry Potter Collection for the Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan.
The digital edition arrives first on October 16, followed by a boxed physical version on October 29. Both carry a price tag of 6,578 yen (tax included).
The Collection bundles the two LEGO Harry Potter titles โ Years 1โ4 and Years 5โ7 โ which together recreate the entire seven-book, eight-film saga in the series' signature brick-built, gently comedic style. Players can wander a LEGO-rendered Hogwarts, cast spells, brew potions, and replay iconic moments from the Sorting Ceremony to the Battle of Hogwarts, solo or in local co-op.
Originally released early last decade and later remastered, the games remain a staple of the family-friendly LEGO catalog. This Switch 2 release marks their arrival on Nintendo's current-generation hardware in Japan, giving a new wave of players a portable way to explore the Wizarding World.
The insider take
From Tokyo, the notable detail here isn't the game itself โ it's the byline. Sega has quietly become one of WB Games' most reliable Japanese distribution partners, handling localization and shelf presence for Western titles that publishers often struggle to launch domestically. Harry Potter enjoys enormous, durable popularity in Japan โ the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo in Toshimaen draws steady crowds, and Universal Studios Japan's Wizarding World remains a marquee attraction. Timing a family-friendly, gift-ready package for late October, just ahead of the year-end shopping season, is a shrewd move that speaks to how carefully Sega reads the local calendar.
