There’s an interesting build in LEGO Harry Potter 76437 The Burrow Collectors’ Edition that references three things at once, including a LEGO set.
Of the many details in 76437 The Burrow Collectors’ Edition, there’s one you may have missed that we first believed to just be a reference to a LEGO Ideas set. Arthur and Molly’s bedroom in 76437 The Burrow Collectors’ Edition has a shelf of items above their bed including a clock and a small telephone box.
Based on the scale of minifigures, it’s about the right size to be a recreation of 21347 Red London Telephone Box for minifigure hands. It wouldn’t be the first massive LEGO model to include a smaller LEGO set either. 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr includes a sticker of 40693 The Lord of the Rings: Fell Beast on a shelf towards the top of the tower.
It might be that this isn’t intended to be a reference to LEGO Ideas 21347 Red London Telephone Box, in which case we’ve got another reference in mind for this build.
The small telephone box in 76437 The Burrow Collectors’ Edition may be an Easter egg for the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets video game. As stated on the Harry Potter wiki, Arthur Weasley has a telephone box in his collection of non-magical junk in a field just outside the Burrow.
While the collection may not be canon, this odd build in his bedroom seems out of place otherwise. That is unless it’s referencing the entrance to the British Ministry of Magic that was used by Arthur Weasley and Harry Potter. That’s a possibility too and it may be that the LEGO Harry Potter design has referenced – intentionally or otherwise – three things at once with a handful of elements.
Whatever it's intended to reference, you can find the miniature telephone box in 76437 The Burrow Collectors’ Edition for £219.99 in the UK, $259.99 in the US and from €259.99 in Europe from September 4, or September 1 for LEGO Insiders.
