Quidditch Harry Potter fig is out. 

Plain legs, but still that new facial expression and torso printing is cool.

Interesting that he has the normal leg piece, not the short one like in the other sets.

What's up with the lack of leg printing?

From all the minifigures leaked in recent days I think only AntMan has it

He's behind Hermione and McGonagall beside the great hall's wall.

Ah, thanks. I totally missed him.

That would be quite a random inclusion if it is Seamus. And if it's a Ravenclaw (like it very slightly looks like, though it's hard to tell), who could it be? There are not a lot of Ravenclaws in the films, and especially not Ravenclaw boys in the first couple. They could always name it as a character from the books, or just call him Ravenclaw Student, though that too would be odd. Time will tell, like with everything!

Personally, I don't think all minifigures need leg printing, and the Quidditch players and Olivander are characters that look just fine without it. Of course that's my subjective opinion, but really it comes down to colour blocking for me and both of those characters look pleasing and fine with no leg-printing (though knee-guards on the Quidditch players would be fantastic). Some Superhero characters, like Black Manta and Wasp, however, have so much printing in a bright colour on their torsos that it just looks weird to not have any additional colour balancing the designs out on their legs.

A lot of recent leaks do have leg printing, though: Filch, most of the characters from the Great Hall (who we'd seen before), Mera, Aquaman, that new Batman. Indeed most of the HP figures revealed so far do have leg prints.

That’s leaked Quidditch Harry having a black broomstick points towards it being a chamber of Secrets set IMO, with the poster accidentally giving Harry a Nimbus 2001

Lupin and Pettigrew are rumours and you’re missing Oliver Wood and Marcus Flint for the Quidditch set

I think it's safe to assume that Filch is in this set, too.

The more I look at that banner image, the more I’m certain that we’ll get that large castle section in the Willow set. The tree itself looks like it’s a lot smaller than I expected, since the branches we can see just use basic Technic axles and those elephant trunk pieces. It looks like the tree isn’t going to be as huge and detailed as I wanted but we’ll get a huge piece of Hogwarts.

Remember that by their very nature leaks are not necessarily the official figures. Often the leaker just puts the right looking parts together and can get it wrong.

 

From a parts point of view, I hope they are white and I hope they are short, as those have only appeared in the Gremlins Dimensions set before.

not want to go look through 143 pages so...

[cocabottle]

I hope the car looks better from other angles, the roof with the 1x6 tiles looks quite ugly and might need some modding. But overall it is a nice design.

Stoked to hear more.

From what I have heard, olivander is indeed in the cmf wave not activity book

New photo on installation of a slithering quidditch player, it could be Terence Higgs, the seeker from the first film based on the hairpiece and scared looking face.

Harry will have short legs and the other character is Draco with wrong hair and face print or at least thats what I read, legs are too short to be Terence Higgs

Perhaps then their legs are switched

Not impossible, that’s actually the most possible thing I’ve read in this entire forum, let’s hope, because then it’s 2 Philosopher’s Stone (great hall and Quidditch) and 2 Chamber of Secrets (Aragog and Willow)

[GryffindorResistance]

I'm gonna wait until we see the official images to determine the leg printing and my final views on the figures. I think that some of the leaks are prelim designs and not final, like a lot of minifigure leaks are.

this might be the first CMF that I might buy the full box for and then give away any duplicates i get or sell them on, whichever is easier

There are usually cheaper per fig to buy a case of 60, but unsure who are selling them in your country for a good price.. I have started buying a hole box and then are able to sell the ones I do not want for under retail price later, but it takes some time to sell them all..

Apparently the instructions for Whomping Willow were leaked and Lupin and Pettigrew were in them, this is from JediJacPenguin on Instagram

Well that may be, but @Metanoios91 seems to have trustworthy source so I believe he/she until proven wrong  We must remember that a lot of people have already seen the sets, unfortunately there lips are mostly sealed

Those could be the wrong legs then

Yes off course

Most likely the wrong legs, could also be wrong legs for Ollivander or he could come with the book (but that is most likely Harry as usual). Anyway a doubt they have started making figs for the D2C already so he for sure is not in that set, so I guess CMF

There should be some Ravenclaw in the books they could use, but I wonder which set he is in

That must be Terence Higgs;YES They should both have short legs I think

[GryffindorResistance]

Whats actually insane is that by the end of the wave, if my calculations are correct, we'll be getting about 65 new Harry Potter figures

Aragog - 2

Quidditch - at least 5

Knight Bus - at least 3

Newt's Briefcase - 3-4

Grindelwald's Escape - 2

Whomping Willow - 6

Great Hall - 10

Hogwarts Castle - at least 10

Minifigures - 22
