It's just a picture of the castle. No hints probably.

That was already answered.

Do we have all the rumored set numbers for the wave? Are we still getting store exclusives?

Look back through the thread to find them.

I’m not sure if the front page is updated or not, but we do know most of the set numbers. We seem to be getting two store exclusives, one for HP that @Catanas hints will be a Quidditch set, and one for Crimes of Grindelwald.

Some people don’t follow the thread every day and don’t have the time or patience to look back through several pages of mostly speculation.

Maybe we are in front of our eyes all the sets of Hogwarts

That's what I thought although I a little concerned about the size of the main tower compared to the rest of the castle

So am I. What I fear is going to happen is that TLG will just release the rest of the castle so that it connects to the great hall and the large tower. This would be a let down because then the whole castle will be in the same style as the Great Hall set, which IMO is nowhere near Disney Castle quality.

[Felkin]

Has anyone confirmed that the HP D2C is actually Hogwarts? Lego is bringing out new trains this summer, and I was wondering if we might be getting a new Hogwarts Express / Kings Cross station? I have no insider info, this is pure speculation, but it would solve the whole "two Great Halls" debate. (Unless a trusted leaker has actually confirmed what the D2C is, in which case I apologise!)

Yep, I agree.

Great Hall is a great standard set but not the quality I expect from a D2C/UCS set.

I for one, don't.

It will make more sense.

I just don't see how a train and a station could cost $500+. People want the Hogwarts express, but not for that much.

Yeah. The only way they could do it is if it was minifig scale. Even then, the King's Cross would have to be huge.

I don't believe so.  I imagine the D2C set will be able to stand alone.

[Robianco]

I really wouldn't stress over anything that's basically just guessing at what something may look like... that nobody has seen. Let the designers do their work on the main D2C set... and THEN see if it isn't working for you.

The image of the castle has been edited. The original image includes some more towers off to the right. It very well could be a hint as to what the D2C set could look like.

Idk, but why else would they do it?

[Legocollinfreak]

Yeah, I kinda agree. I mean even the boathouse at the bottom is cut out. But that could be just so they could crop it for the site. But why edit an image like that. They could have very easily just thrown up the image from google and put the green filter to it.

If that is the case, they might've cut it out so they can use it for another set with maybe Snape and Voldemort for Snape's death scene

You are all aware that this is just Hogwarts Castle from Philosophers Stone right? The castle’s appearance changed multiple times with each director. LEGO haven’t edited Hogwarts, they only cropped the picture so we can’t see the boathouse.

Yes, I know the castle changes but there is a whole big section they photoshopped out. To the right, there should a long building with two towers. They later became the bell towers.

Again it’s just cropped out and blurred out with the blue background. If you try to zoom in on the picture you can see it slowly dissapearing.

The photo of Hogwarts hasn’t been photoshopped by Lego, but by the branding team of Harry Potter itself.

i work at Primark in the UK (a clothes shop) and we have a lot of official Harry Potter themed merchandise and clothes, and the displays we use on the shop floor to promote the items is the same image as is now being used by Lego. I was taking this image as evidence for what type of D2C we will be getting, but after realising this, I would say that Lego is just following the new franchise imagery set out by WB

You maybe right but Lego must build something which looks like this picture. The Great Hall of Lego looks like the Great Hall of the picture! And TLC must respect a lot of standard as the fact that they must respect the architectural of the castle. So I think, the D2C will look like almost this picture.
