4866 Knight Bus is an upcoming Harry Potter set to be released on June 1 2011.^[1] It is to cost $34.99 and is a remake of the earlier set 4755 Knight Bus.

Description

The bus is based of the vehicle from the third Harry Potter film. The Knight Bus is a purple triple decker bus. Although it is not clear what is inside, it has a removable bed on each of the three floors and a chandelier loosely hanging in the second floor. There are two shapes of windows, both with plastic glass. Each level contains at least one seat. The back of the bus is open with a footplate. The front has a spot for the driver with a steering wheel. The set includes Hedwig, a Shrunken Head, a bus ticket and a chest (with currently unknown contents) as accessories.

Differences from the Original

Unlike the original there are seats and removable beds in the bus. The shrunken head is a cylindrical brick, and no longer a sticker. The roof is much flatter and different types of wheels are used meaning that the bus isn't as tall as it was before. This bus also does not include The Grim, a street light and a bush as the old one did, but does include Ernie Prang, who has never been seen in Minifigure form before this set.The set can rebuild into a normal bus or a London bus.
