LEGO set 76397, “Hogwarts Moment: Defence Against the Dark Arts Class”, depicts a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson at Hogwarts. It belongs to the Harry Potter theme, was released in 2022, and contains 257 pieces.

This model sits within the Harry Potter theme and focuses on a classroom scene at Hogwarts. Its subject is Defence Against the Dark Arts, presented as a compact school moment rather than a broad section of the castle or a general Hogwarts facade.

The set therefore places clear emphasis on the characters and the classroom setting.

It can serve as a small display piece, a basis for classroom play scenes, or an addition to a Harry Potter minifigure collection. Within the wider theme, it is best understood as a self-contained Hogwarts class vignette that can sit alongside other school-based sets.
