"Such an honor it is" is not a commonly used expression. Dobby says this because he considers Harry Potter to be his master, so he adopts formal language to represent this relationship. A similar, more commonly used expression with a similar meaning would be "what/it's an honor," which is more casual and joking. Ex: It's an honor to be here tonight. Thank you for inviting me. Ex: What an honor it is to have Elon Musk here today for this guest lecture. Everyone, a round of applause.
