The verdict

I love it when a BrickHeadz set does more than just shrink a face onto a big square head, and this pairing gets that right.

Luna's dreamy, slightly off-kilter expression is there, the radish earrings are there, and standing next to her is a skeletal, wide winged Thestral that most of the wizarding world can't even see. That contrast is the whole charm of this set for me. It won't convert anyone who finds BrickHeadz pointless as a category, but if you already collect them, this is one of the better character pairings LEGO has put out.

Best for: Harry Potter completists who already display BrickHeadz on a shelf

The full review

What it is

I'll be honest, I go back and forth on BrickHeadz as a category, but this one won me over faster than most. Luna Lovegood and her Thestral are one of the sweeter relationships in the whole Harry Potter series, since the Thestral is only visible to people who've witnessed death, and Luna's quiet kinship with the creature comes through even in this chunky, stylized form. Her build captures the little details that make Luna Luna: the dazed, wide eyed look, the signature earrings, the sense that she's seeing something the rest of us aren't.

The catch

The build itself is what you expect from BrickHeadz at this point, a fast, satisfying stack of plates and bricks rather than a technical puzzle, so don't come to this looking for an engineering challenge. At 292 pieces split across two figures, neither one takes long to finish, and there's a fair amount of repetition in the torso and base sections that can make the back half feel like you're just finishing the job rather than discovering something new.

Who it's for

Get this one if you're already collecting the Harry Potter BrickHeadz wave and want a pairing with more personality than most, or if Luna is your favorite character in the series. Skip it if you've never bought into BrickHeadz before, since this won't be the set that changes your mind, and skip it too if you want something substantial to sit and build for an evening.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this is quick, easygoing fun rather than a brain teaser. You start with Luna, stacking her round head, her pale blonde hair piece, and that unmistakable dazed printed face before moving into her cardigan and skirt in soft neutral tones. Then you move to the Thestral, which is where the set actually gets interesting, since its skeletal frame and oversized bat-like wings are a real departure from the usual boxy BrickHeadz body.

The standout piece for me is the Thestral's head and wing assembly, sculpted to look genuinely skeletal rather than just recolored parts from a previous animal BrickHeadz. Luna's printed face piece and hair element are the other pieces worth pointing out, since printed BrickHeadz heads always read better in person than in photos. At 292 pieces for two display figures, the part count sits in the normal range for a two-pack in this theme, so you're paying for the character license and the display charm more than sheer piece volume.

Fun facts

01Thestrals in the Harry Potter books and films can only be seen by people who have witnessed death firsthand, which is why Luna, and later Harry, can see them when most other students cannot.
02Luna Lovegood's radish earrings and Spectrespecs are some of the most recognizable costume details from the films, and both traits show up in how her BrickHeadz figure is designed.
03BrickHeadz Harry Potter pairings have leaned toward student-and-creature or student-and-pet combinations, following the format LEGO already used for sets like Hagrid and Fang.
04The blocky, oversized-head BrickHeadz style was originally designed to let LEGO reuse a consistent body platform across wildly different characters, which is why the Thestral here still shares its basic build logic with the human figures in the same wave.
