Assuming you already have all of the Harry Potter books on your shelf and all of the movies in your DVD or streaming collection, there’s no better way to bring the magic of Hogwarts into your house than LEGO’s line of fun, interactive kits inspired by the popular stories.

You can add the LEGO Harry Potter Mandrake Figure & Pot set to the gift list of the Potter fan in your family while there’s still time to get it under the tree, and you can save 30% in the process thanks to this great Amazon deal. Designed for kids 10 and up, this 579-piece set is a fun representation of the screaming (and biting) plant from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Over 10.5 Inches Tall

So you don’t have to ask the Potter fan who’ll be receiving this kit, the Mandrake is the screaming plant that resembles a human baby, and can inflict a nasty bite if you’re not careful (or if you’re a Slytherin, as Draco Malfoy found out the hard way).

This is LEGO’s first model of a Mandrake, and it includes the feisty plant and its pot, with the added fun of being able to remove the Mandrake from the pot to pose separately. Removing the Mandrake from its pot exposes its leg-like roots and foot-like tendrils for added accuracy.

The leaves of the Mandrake are posable, and moving the Mandrake’s chest will make its mouth and limbs move. If there are already other LEGO Harry Potter models in your house, the Mandrake makes a great addition as a display piece or as another fun playable figure for kids recreating iconic scenes from the movies.

Interact With the App

The fun of building and posing the LEGO Harry Potter Mandrake figure only gets better when you add the LEGO Builder app to the mix, so kids can zoom in on and rotate a 3D digital version of the Mandrake so they can track and save their progress as they build their own version.

At 579 pieces, the detailed LEGO Harry Potter Mandrake presents a fun challenge to kids 10 and up, and it’s a rewarding challenge when the Mandrake is complete and becomes either a fun playable figure or a great-looking addition to a display shelf (or both). Amazon has dropped the price of the LEGO Harry Potter Mandrake below $50, which is a terrific deal on a detailed, interactive kit like this.
