This innovative Lego set is not just a static display piece – it offers an interactive experience for fans. With a randomized sound brick, users can tip the hat or place it on their heads to hear the Sorting Hat's voice, which will sort them into one of the four Hogwarts houses or deliver memorable phrases from the books and movies. This inclusion of the sound brick adds a new level of immersion to the Lego building experience.
