Hogwarts Castle: D2C (rumor)

Thank you for clarifying, I get confused reading back through the many pages of this, so many people saying it is or is not confirmed ?

Ok, I've just seen that the Unikitty sets have been revealed, as has the other Lego Ninjago Movie D2C to connect to Ninjago city. A lot of City and Ninjago and some Batman sets have been revealed also so I would wager the Wizarding World sets will be revealed soon

I already follow mp_legoleaks how did I not already see this, personally I think the Unikitty sets look terrible, but I guess being 20 they don’t really appeal to my age range, but the Ninjago one looks really good and the only Ninjago set I own is the Ice Dragon from like 5-6 years ago ?

*I now have notifications turned on for his posts so if he posts anything Harry Potter related I shall see it as soon as posted ?

Yeah it's always annoyed me how much more effort Lego have spent on themes they own directly like Ninjago, China, Next Knights, Lego Movie, etc. They use all the new moulds up and release more unique sets. It seems like other stuff like superheroes and Star Wars are just ships and vehicles. However, the Wizarding World stuff is looking like it's better quality, as have the more recent Star Wars and superhero stuff. Maybe it's to do with the new CEO

I imagine the next wave we will get the Hogwarts express. If the next wave is based on 3, 4, and a little of 5 then I could see us getting the train with Lupin and some dementors.

What I’m thinking, and I may be completely wrong, but with the “leaks” from Reddit, I reckon it might not go on as long as people think and it might be 1 set from each year, so year 1 is the Great Hall with all them figs, year 2 is Aragog with Harry, Ron and Fang and year 3 is the Whomping Willow (makes sense because in the book/film it’s got Lupin, Black, Snape and Pettigrew all in one scene)

I haven’t actually seen any confirmation that the Anglia comes with the Willow, what if it’s with Aragog like it has been previously?

if this is the case (and I’d like to have a proper discussion about this because I reckon it could happen) then next year would be 4, 5 & 6 so we’d get Moody, Barty Crouch Jr, Voldemort, Cedric and others from 4, 5 would be Tonks, Kingsley, Sirius (tidy/smart), Kreacher etc, and 6 would be Bellatrix, Fenrir etc, and then for the last year I reckon they’d just do multiple sets for Deathly Hallows, I mean there’s so much, Gringotts (with Dragon), Malfoy manor (RIP Dobby), Battle of Hogwarts (including Aberforth (please please please) and the final duel a small $20 set featuring Harry and Voldemort (with an actual molded Elder wand)

Lego designer said the sets are based on 1-2 with little 3, so one set of each film isn't the structure.

So just like everything I posted from leaks it may not be true, it’s possible that what I put was right, as much as that guy, I’m not saying it’s impossible I’m just skeptical of things I read on the internet, I’ve been burned by people that seem “official” before ?

When the Great Hall was announced at NY Toy Fair, the designer of the set answered some questions about it here and volunteered some info like what deskp mentioned. It seemed far more legit than most of the stuff that gets discussed here, but you'll have to judge for yourself. It's back in February of this year, I believe.

It's pretty early to be speculating on what comes after this wave — we don't even know all the sets we're getting this year at this point — though of course that hasn't stopped any of us. They could still do more sets from 1 or 2 and especially 3 in the next wave, for instance. I doubt they will rush through the movies if the first wave of sets sells well.

I’m just hoping the Whomping Willow rumors are true, I mean I need Lupin!! ?

The way this is going I would expect. Once again, no one except the people at lego really know.

[harleydavid98]

I’ve just been going over what Sir Von Lego said and he said we will get A LOT of minifigures with these sets which could prove what I have found as being correct I mean 2 figs in Aragog (not a lot), but WW and GH added together make a lot of different minifigs

[harleydavid98]

I have scowled through a lot of pages and could not be bothered to look, I shall remain skeptical until further images are released, that is not down to a lack of trust to you guys, it’s just my nature, remain skeptical until proven otherwise ?, anyways, I shall remain hopeful for Lupin and Pettigrew until official images are released (hopefully in May)

He answers questions on pages 75-78.

You’re amazing for posting that, but I must say, from what I’ve just read not once does he say “it’s just years 1-2 with a dash of 3 thrown in” he says he can’t talk about the other sets 

“No. Sorry, I can never talk about anything that hasn't been officially released yet and right now all the other stuff is still secret.”

If I have not read far enough tell me, but from what I’ve seen I’ve read everything that he said/answered

He says on page 78:

"The toy fair figures are all half finished stand ins, only look at the press release figures. We based these sets on movies 1 and 2 with a few bits from 3 added for flavour, it is Dumbledore, which actor we don't like to say."

I see, I still stand by the leaks I saw and think that the “few bits from 3” will be minifigs, I mean what else could it be? There was nothing in the Great Hall, Aragog was only in 2 and 6 (as a corpse) and the Willow set makes sense to include the figures mentioned because it’s easy to include them 3 in one set rather than spread them all out, even if they don’t do Sirius in this set they can do him next year in another “Aragog type set” with Dementors, Harry and Sirius instead of Aragog, Harry and Ron and then the other 2 can focus on Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix (for flavour)

From what I’ve read the Aragog set includes Harry and Ron (as stated), many small spiders, the main build is obviously Aragog who is twice the size of the previous two as an accurate scale to the film, it also comes with Fang and a few tree builds

The Whomping Willow/Ford Anglia set comes with Harry and Ron (again as previously stated), but the odd thing is they’re reportedly not in school robes and have normal size legs (matching up to PoA which makes me believe he’s lying) and also comes with Snape (who we’ve seen), Lupin, Sirius and Peter with a werewolf similar to previous incarnations (Lupin-wolf and the CMF werewolf), which again makes me think they’re lying because why would a set feature a play set from year 2 but figs from year 3, hmmm ?

He also said that there are “secret” minifigures in the Great Hall set that have not been shown to get people hyped when they are shown and these are apparently Peeves the Poltergeist and Tom Riddle, now I believe they could include Tom but I doubt very much that it’d be Peeves

but the thing that rounds it off to me as being a potential lie is the fact that he said there are all new molds aside from Wands and hair, apparently there is a brand new car mold for Mrs Norris, a new rat for Scabbers and a new (more accurate) dog for Fang, this makes me wary because why would they suddenly decide to make all new molds for rats and cats which have always looked the same?

Finally some new leaks to talk about not just speculation! Man these sound really good and I think I believe him. The Great Hall is so amazing and for $100 it's awesome so I think Lego is trying their best with these sets! And 6 minifigs doesn't sound absurd because The Burrow was $10 less and had the same amount of figures and a pig. Can't wait for pics!

Wow many new rumors. If all of this is true I would buy these sets in a heartbeat (I would have done that anyway tbh) it sounds amazing. A little bit too amazing in my opinion... It all sounds way too good to be true so I'm a little bit sceptical. I hope we'll get some true answers very soon.
