4708 Hogwarts Express from LEGO Harry Potter is from the first wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets in 2001 and unboxing this vintage LEGO set was like opening up a time capsule. As well as the Hogwarts Express was a 2001 LEGO catalog, a mail-in postcard for LEGO's Shop at Home service and a free LEGO Harry Potter poster showing the 2001 Harry Potter sets.

The 2001 Hogwarts Express is made up of three components including the Hogwarts Express engine, a carriage which connects using magnetic LEGO couplers and platform 9 3/4 at London's Kings Cross Station. There's a neat portal where Harry, Ron and Hermione can reach platform 9 3/4 via a rotating muggle ticket machine before joining The Hogwarts Express.
Motorizing the LEGO Hogwarts Express 4708 from 2001 is surprising easy if you have the right parts. 4708 is built on standard LEGO train base plates and the wheels can be swapped out for a 9V LEGO train motor and some bogeys to help the LEGO Hogwarts Express to navigate corners. You will see the 4708 Hogwarts Express motorized and running on LEGO train tracks and hear a brief history on how the Hogwarts Express came to be.
I really hope you enjoy this vintage LEGO Harry Potter 4708 Hogwarts Express unboxing, speed build and review video and my how to motorize the Hogwarts Express hints and tips. If you do, a thumbs up is always very welcome and don't forget to subscribe for more classic LEGO Harry Potter set reviews.

I'm from USA and I've always hated that they changed the title of Philosopher's Stone for us... 😑
Ahh yes, the classic baby groot, a modern wonder of nature
I have baby groot
22:43 There are versions of Harry and Ron with yellow faces and alternate expressions from the Polyjuice Potion set, but those are technically to represent the characters in disguise and not as alternate expressions.
Thanks for reviewing this set! Can't wait to see more older LEGO Harry Potter sets be reviewed in the future!
Just getting started on the next one!
Always love seeing you review these old Harry Potter sets Jeremy, no other youtubers goes as in-depth as you do and I really appreciate it. In fact, you're actually to blame for me going back and re-buying a lot of these old sets myself. Not got this one yet, but I did just grab about 20 different sets on ebay within the space of 2 weeks. God forbid my wife ever finds out how much I've spent!
It appears, you've been spared by COPPA. JANGBricks and Brickitect, weren't so lucky.
They made the choice to declare that they make content for kids. I do not make content for kids and feel comfortable to argue the case before any court. To be fair, I have very little to lose. I have a great job which enables me to buy LEGO that interests me as an adult collector and make the videos that I would want to watch on CZcams (very visual and not too serious). Ad revenue is not a big deal and I would happily give it all away to continue doing what I love and sharing content I enjoy. The worst that could happen is that the FTC engages in a costly legal process and fines me all of my ad revenue. As a small channel I make very little from CZcams, I'm not making kids content and I do nothing wrong.
Coppa sucks, why we just have no coppa at all. And we don't have that in Europe right. And the miniplayer doesn't work if it were for kids (I don't know why?) and I can't save the video.
@@jeremyherbertofficial now that’s some respect
To open the box rather than using the tabs put a knife through the side that would normally have to be opened by the tabs
I saw that too!!!!!
Jeremy when you shown the 2010 Hogwarts Express you gave Draco Ron’s face and Ron Draco’s face🤣🤣😂😂 also love your vids you got me back into Lego and Harry Potter 😃😃😄😄
And how is that funny?
Valerica Catalin it’s funny cause it’s Draco
awesome unboxing! Im a huge fan of Harry Potter!!!
Thank you. Me too!
0:57 Haha, a good one ;)
I think Jeremy is the most confident Lego youtuber like if you agree IF NOT reply with who you think the most confident Lego youtuber is
12:10 ah yes, The *Wizard* Express.
They couldn't risk angering JK Rowling and her trademark-enforcing Dementors!
@@jeremyherbertofficial Damn it, Trademark-Enforcing Dementors!
ahh yes i love the wizard express
I love the older couplers. I have the idea they work a bit better. Also they look better.
It shouldve came with a tender, good thing the latest one did
Not just the added motors, but now we have a longer and more realistic looking tender!
i cannot wait to see what this week's video is going to be...
I love ur detailed and HD quailty video review keep it up man 🖒
I'm currently trying to rebuild this right now although after watching this I think it might actually be 4758. Probably my favourite lego set from when I was a kid. It's been in pieces for years, but I'm trying to finish it right now. So far so good, but theres a few pieces I'm still trying to find.
I ❤️ Harry Potter
It is trver!
I had another lego train set when I was younger. I lost all peices but wheels and tracks. Then many years later Harry Potter came out and I got this set. So I had all parts to convert it. Lost original wheels from this set after I did this lmao.
Such a good set.
Epic!
What’s your favorite Hogwarts express my favorite it the 2018 version though I don’t own it😭😭😭
The 2018 version is the best looking set but the 2011 version is a really nice build and was designed to run on tracks. I have great memories of buying the 2011 Hogwarts Express for my son on a visit to Toys R us in New York's Times Square.
Yeah that probably adds a lot of value to it I do really like the 2011 version too. So what’s the next Harry Potter set may I ask
Next one on the filming schedule is 4867 Hogwarts from 2011
Got it can’t wait you might want to fix up the ford anglia
I have a wish version of the Hogwarts Express, and the whole set is perfectly normal (thank you very much) except for the box and instructions. Wherever it says Harry Potter, they have Justice Magician. The picture in the corner of Ron,Harry, and,Hermione is of three people who look nothing like they should. The train says Wizardry Castle on the side, and Haxard Wizardry on the front. But my favorite part is........ on the box they have platform 7 5/9. The best replacement for 9 3/4 that they could think of was 7 5/9.
That’s a strange looking tender
1830 seems a bit too early for the heist. I wonder if JK meant 1930, rather than 1830. That way they could also feature it in the Fantastic Beasts series.
In America it’s called sorcerer’s stone
Love this new series of old HP sets. Hopefully all the traffic is helping with the cost :). You owe me the new review of the full Advent Calendar HP set on your Great Hall :)
I used to have the newer model
Early squad where you at
6:55 groot
0:58 in some places it’s called the sorcerer’s stone
adam ahern he knows it was a joke
At 8:28 i looked at the sign the i looked at my clock and it said 9:43
hey jeremy great vid just wanted to ask what set you want to see made most in the next harry potter wave? (if and when there is one)
I would love to see a reboot of The Burrow and we sooooo need an update Diagon Alley. In fact, a modular scale Diagon Alley would literally make me cry.
@@jeremyherbertofficial I think we got both of those now 😂
Nice!
should have waited another year !
Justice magician
I saw this set sealed for $150 dollars in a shop yesterday, I’m still thinking if it’s worth spending that much money on set 😅
Can u do the next hogwarts express?
I've got some shopping to do but it's definitely on the list. I'd love to be able to do a video with them all!
Sorcerers stone is the American of Philosopher's stone
He knows
Omg I need this🤩
Omg no it sucks go buy 2018 or 2011 it’s better
cool
omg dude you're English yet you have the American Lego set, apart from that Im glad to see this old retro set, reminds me of when I was a kid, I actually like how Lego made so many versions of the Hogwarts Express, its a great set and also do you know why Lego changed the back of the box sets when they used to show alternative builds of what you could do with your sets (that you mentioned at 1:54)
Do you have the 2003 9v Hogwarts express?

it's not spelled wrong this set is from America where the title of the first harry potter film is sorcerer
can you do a review on diagon ally plez
plus good to know a fellow ravenclaw
I just managed to get 4723 Diagon Alley Shops set so I think an "Every Diagon Alley" video may be coming soon!
thanks just wondering
I cant believe trevor was inside the engine
It said sorcers stone because that is how we call it in America
There are actually 10 wheels
its supposed to say "Sorcerer"
How did you place your stickers so perfectly
It takes massive patience. Stickers usually sit in the middle of the brick so I try and align one edge equally within the brick and avoid smoothing it down until I’m sure the positions is right. You can usually reposition it a few times before the sticker gets messed up.
Yeah, it's called The Philosopher's Stone, but in the book and Movie it is actually The Sorcerer's Stone, so your actually wrong.
Baby Groot At 4:10
You do realize that it is just called that in the USA 🇺🇸 it is not a misprint
I do :-)
I hate when people still mistake it for philosophers stone when it's sorcerers stone. In England it's philosophers stone. But in America according to Google kids don't want to read any book with the word philosopher in it.
Professor quirrel has yellow skin ànd HE has a double sided head
Why is there grout in every LEGO Harry Potter set?
I am Groot
Its not the sorcerers stone
We muggles call a smoking potion a bong
I mean groot
Did anyone notice that he called the name of a Harry Potter movie the wrong thing and then says that the correct spelling of it is incorrect
It's also the era when their packaging / product presentation sucked. The System sets of the 90s have really great window-style boxes and trays. These ones have bad box design, etc. Fortunately, great box design returned after it.
"It's like Michael Jackson all over again!" Hoho
in america it's called the the sorcerer's stone because publishe's didn't think tweens-teens would want to read about a philosopher's.
Scholastic got it so wrong!
@@jeremyherbertofficial the movie is practically the same just the title and sorcerer's instead of philosopher's stone

59 minutes and 59 seconds. So close.
My friend got the 2004 one for £5

That funnel looks triggering
