LEGO Harry Potter & Hermione Granger (76393) has a current value of £84, more than £30 below its RRP whilst Fawkes, Dumbledores Phoenix has a current value just over £50, 46% more than its RRP!

76393 Harry Potter & Hermione Granger 31/12/2022 $120 $90 -25% -15%
76394 Fawkes, Dumbledore's Phoenix 31/12/2022 $40 $86 115% 55%

Conclusion

LEGO Harry Potter Hedwig (75979) feels like a little bit of a punt as an investment, albeit a relatively cheap one at the £30 cost (5p per brick) that its currently available at from Amazon and with it due for retirement imminently.

It’s easy to argue this set is far closer to Fawkes, Dumbledores Phoenix (76394) than it is to the Harry and Hermione LEGO set (76393) and that set has done phenomenally well since retiring in December last year.
