LEGO set 40452, Hogwarts Gryffindor Dorms, represents the Gryffindor dormitory at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter theme. Released in 2021, it contains 144 pieces and focuses on an interior scene connected with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.

Hogwarts Gryffindor Dorms is part of the LEGO Harry Potter theme and depicts a Hogwarts location associated with Gryffindor house. Rather than presenting a large exterior section of the castle, the set focuses on a compact interior setting suited to character based scenes.

The build creates a small dormitory backdrop that can support play with the included characters or sit alongside other Hogwarts interiors.

It is aimed at fans who collect Harry Potter minifigures, small Hogwarts rooms or displayable character scenes. Within the wider theme, it works as a supporting set rather than a large architectural model, adding a student living space to collections built around the school setting.
