i really hope the D2C castle is fake

 

 

 

just keep releasing sets that adds to Grand Hall and Whomping Willow

With a d2c you likely get a big chunk of accurate castle, with playsets you get a lot of small inaccurate bits cobbled together.

But there's no reason they cant do both.

Well, a lot of individual parts adds up too. 100 for great hall, 80 for willow.....+ whatever else they'd make.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Wow, these sets are absolutely amazing, by far the best HP wave so far  The Hogwarts Express is a neat surprise, I guess they couldn't resist including that one in each "reboot" of the theme  I'm wondering whether we'll see Hagrid's Hut in the near future as well (next year if the ever-green status change rumors are true?) since that has traditionally gotten the same treatment

but its a lot easier and possible to buy sets during a large space of time than give 400/500€ at once...

Best wave of all time   and there are still two more sets, a cmf series, and a D2C to unveil!!!

Well I am starting to wonder if the Hogwarts express is the so called knight bus and that the Aragog set do not exist Why would they not reveal all HP sets now, but save the smallest? Makes no sense

Looking at these sets, I think we can make some educated guesses on who will be in the Minifigure series to accompany the sets:

 

 

Remember from past tie-in CMF series (TLM, LTNM, LTBM, etc), that the figures included do not always complement sets. They can stick any old figures they like in the CMF series, whether there is a natural set for them to be affiliated with or not.

There was a leak a while back showing the set numbers and names on the lego site. Hogwarts Castle was listed and the Knight Bus. The Knight Bus set number is the same as the Hogwarts Express. So what I'm saying if that was wrong then could that mean Hogwarts Castle is wrong too.

Nah Hogwarts is coming. Very very very confident in that

Also the box art looks fantasic for the sets 

[Brickity]

This was a nice surprise, but I am probably the only one who thinks these sets look too "junior" and/or basic. It's probably just the kid minifigs haha.

Let's see how the CMFs and hogwarts set turn out though, I feel like they wil be the highlights.

They revealed 1 set per movie

Quidditch Set -> Sorcerer's Stone

Whomping Willow -> Chamber of Secrets

Hogwarts Express -> Prisoner of Azkaban

Where is the box art?

[Whovastron]

Um, you can make Quidditch Malfoy with current pieces.

If anything the indication is cmf has hufflepuff and ravenclaw players.

Yes you can make him, but Lego will very likely want to be able to sell you one

search for his username in instagram haha

How do you say it would be unique from what you could just make?

Cmf has a certain standard.

[harleydavid98]

Personally not a fan of them using the Order-aged characters rather than using the ones for the respective year the set is based on

[topiku]

The front of the Hogwarts Add-on has been revealed as well

I’m not saying it would be, it’s just an option that they could do. There’s lots of figures you can ‘just make’ and Lego will still make them into sets. It was just a hypothetical idea, geeze

There are obviously play features like the banner on the Gryffindor tower that can swing / be crashed into. But I don't think they are junior-ised in any way.

The box art does look great, nice to once again see a different colour being used in this theme (the last one was red, the one before that teal and the one before that orange-ish)  The Wizarding World logo in the corner is also interesting, looks like they might be intending to expand the franchise even beyond Fantastic Beasts?

So excited about Lego Harry Potter again! But I want to say something about the dementors. Both versions has its own charm. Some people has said the old version (the one with the pogo-like lower body piece) is weird. I remember back in time I saw an action figure of a dementor of Mattel that had the same kind of lower body part, but in a realistic style:

https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Azkaban-Dementor-Action/dp/B0001OM1RU

And many concept art of the dementors has these kind of mermaid tail-spine:

So, Lego was accurately creepy about "what's under the robe" 

[CF Mitch]

Wow, these sets are amazing!

The level of detail on the torsos, the tiles (paintings, newspapers, posters) and the way they decorated/furnished areas is outstanding!
The minifig selection is fantastic as well. So many different civilian torsos

Can't wait to see what other sets TLC will bring forth. But I'm sure they'll be spectacular as well!

Regards,
Mitch

I like the whomping willow set but it isn't accurate to the front of the castle where it is connected. Like it works but I'm hoping the D2C corrects the building to make it more correct.

False. It was a picture from price vortex, not lego website

That is possible, but I still think it is odd to leave one behind.. Waiting to see boxart from the two sets we knew about, if the piece count is wrong then it is something seriously wrong with earlier leaks
