Lego's 2,316-Piece Hocus Pocus Set Brings Halloween Home Early This Year

Although many Lego buildings feature a distinct lack of rear walls providing easier access for play, the 2,316-piece Sanderson Sisters’ cottage is fully contained with four walls and a gabled roof, but with several panels that open or raise to reveal the detailed interior, as well as a fireplace that separates from the main structure.

In modern times (or as modern as 1993 was) the Sanderson Sisters’ cottage was converted into a museum in Salem, and included Winifred’s spellbook on display in a glass case that probably should have been protected with a few more locks.

No self-respecting witch dares to dabble in the dark arts without a cauldron, and inside the Sanderson Sisters’ cottage you’ll find a large black pot hanging over a roaring fire brought to life with a battery-powered Lego LED brick.

Why the Sanderson Sisters, who are immensely powerful witches, need to share a single bed remains a mystery, but the cottage includes their multi-colored, outfit-matching, checkered blanket.

In addition to the Sanderson Sisters’ cottage, the new Lego Hocus Pocus set includes a recreation of the graveyard where a lot of the movie’s action takes place, with a headstone for Emily Binx, Thackery Binx’s sister and a victim of the sister witches back in 1693.

Although the Sanderson Sisters’ cottage comes with six minifigure versions of the movie’s main characters: Winifred Sanderson, Sarah Sanderson (riding a vacuum instead of a broom), Mary Sanderson, Max Dennison, Dani Dennison, and Allison Watts, plus a cat version of Thackery Binx, it for some reason doesn’t include Doug Jones’ scene-stealing zombie, Billy Butcherson.

Although you may find yourself more focused on hot dogs, hamburgers, and fireworks that day, between dips in the pool you’ll be able to purchase the Lego Ideas Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage set from the company’s website starting July 4 for $230.
