LEGO Harry Potter set 40289, Diagon Alley, represents part of the well known wizarding shopping street. Released in 2018, it contains 374 pieces and belongs to the Harry Potter theme, with a minifigure of Garrick Ollivander.

This model is based on Diagon Alley, a central location in the Harry Potter licence where witches and wizards buy magical supplies. Within the LEGO Harry Potter theme, it provides a compact version of an urban setting closely associated with the first encounters with the wizarding world.

The build uses 374 pieces and focuses on the impression of a street scene rather than a full large scale building. This connects the model directly with the wand maker and with the commercial character of Diagon Alley.

The set is suited to Harry Potter collectors who want a small display representation of a specific location. It can also support play as a backdrop for minifigures, or sit alongside other sets from the same theme as a compact reference to the shopping district.
