I don’t think the Quidditch set was a surprise, since I seem to remember @Catanas mentioning a “sporty” set long before we got pictures. 

Oh yeah I remember, then it was the Hogwarts Express.

To go with what CMF series? We’re not getting a HP series next year. And the Hogwarts Castle Set used the D2C-for-CMF set numbering 

Has it been confirmed that we definitely aren’t getting a Wizarding World CMF for 2018?

[Falconfan1414]

So all of those LEGO posters that leaked for Harry Potter actually come from a Harry Potter poster book that contains 16 posters in total. I’m not sure when the release date for the book will be

The series are The Lego Movie 2, Series whatever the next one is, and Disney series 2

Actually Disney series 2 is rumored to be the series after LEGO movie 2. There is another slot open for the August/September series for Wizarding World Series 2

Thought the August/September slot was the regular series.

Hasn’t been confirmed. I would suspect it’s a possibility because it would go along with the one regular series per year but at this point anything is possible 

[Legoniche]

I have conflicting opinions, on the one hand I’m frustrated that there is so little Lego wizarding world Lego next year, on the other hand I’m thankful as I’m only 15 and need time to save up money to buy the whole wave like I did the last wave, and so I’m glad that I don’t end up throwing my wallet down the drain for them

Wasn't it actually confirmed by the designers?

There is a new sticker book on Instagram, it do not seem to come with any minifigs, but have a flying Hedwig on the front-page.. Probably to much to expect that they will make a flying owl mould, but we are for sure getting a lot of new moulds in next wave.. So what do you think they will be?!
Buckbeak and maybe some new dragon parts for a Hungarian Horntail is my guess

[Bainter-ban]

Very disappointing that none of the sets have a higher piece count than 900... that rules out diagon alley

I’d rather they spent their budget on new animals/beasts rather than alternate versions of existing ones  I hope they keep up their effort in terms of investing in new moulds, which should he doable considering how many pieces can be reused that were introduced this year  As long as 2011 doesn‘t repeat itself (nice sets and minifigs but not a single new mould), we‘re all good  

In terms of content, I can‘t wait to see what awaits us next year. If it‘s only half as good as this year‘s offerings, it‘ll still be amazing

My thoughts are:

75945: 121 pieces- Similar to the Grindelwald's Scape piece count, Defense Against Dark Arts classroom with Professor Lockhart and 3 Cornish Pixies would be Perfect!

75946: 265 pieces- Hope this will be the First Task with the Hungarian Horntail

75947: 496 pieces- Similar to the Quiddith set, maybe Hagrid's Hut? We need a Buckbeak.

75948: 922 pieces- Hope it will be another part of Hogwarts, the piece count for the Great Hall was 878, Hope this will be a new Clock Tower with some Tower and Clock Tower Courtyard fountain element.

That would be awesome if they did a different part of the castle each year.

[DocStrange]

im hoping that the

75945:  121 pieces a small Care of Magical Creatures with Buckbeak and the book of monsters. kind of like the old 4750 set

75946: 265 pieces-the knight bus

75947: 496 pieces the shrieking shack with Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and Lupin(werewolf version) and their animagus forms. And the Maruader's Map

75948:922 pieces Hagrid's Hut and a part of the castle where Sirius Black is being held. with Buckbeak, of course! and with Hermiones time turner

Sorry Etelenzos92, i took your format. Hope that's ok!

My guesses are: 

75945: 121pcs - Girls Bathroom with  the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets ( Moaning Myrtle, Cat Hermione and Harry)

75946: 265pcs - Small Shrieking Shack (Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, Wolf Lupin and Harry) or new Knight bus ( Ernie, Harry, Stan Shunpike + Dog). But imo these are unlikely because of the low piece count :/

75947: 496pcs - Hagrid‘s Hut (Buckbeak, Hagrid, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fudge) 

75948: 922pcs - Either:

The Burrow ( Molly, Arthur, F & G, Ron, Ginny, Harry, Hermione + a new Crookshanks)

The chamber of secrets ( new Basilisk with moulded headpiece, Tom Riddle, Gilderoy Lockhart, Ginny, Harry and Fawkes) 

The clocktower + courtyard (Remus Lupin, Harry, Hermione with Timeturner, Dumbledore, the Bloody Baron, Crabbe + Goyle) 

 

Let‘s come back to this post in a few months and see how wrong/ right I was ?

Now that's a list I can get behind. Girl's Bathroom, Knight Bus, Hagrid's Hut, and Chamber Of Secrets. If we're lucky we might get another hidden exclusive set like Hogwarts Express and maybe that way we could get the Shrieking Shack at the $80 range. And if there's another D2C that would probably be Diagon Alley. If I remember the D2C info was leaked at New Year's last year so we could get info on this soon... 3 from POA and 3 from COS covering those iconic movie scenes perfectly.

I think shrieking shack and knight bus are too big for a 265 piece set, perhaps the greenhouse, death eater attack scene from GOF

Yeah I think so too but I hope they do sets from 2-3 and not start with 4 yet

[Roebuck]

I think that if there is in fact 4 sets coming then at least one is a FB set..

A new book has leaked with a Hermione fig, could be the same we have talked about earlier, I get confused by all the books

Last Knight Bus only had fifteen more pieces. The OG Knight Bus had 243. Right in the middle this new one would be. Maybe it's more sleek as lego has been downsizing vehicles of late. And to keep the $30 price tag.

But on the other hand, I could see the, combining privet drive and the knigh bus into one £60/$60 set, with 6 minifigs: harry, Stan shunpike, Ernie prang, Vernon, petunia, Dudley and then Sirius in animagus form Andy hedwig of course- kinda like the whomping willow being combined with a section of hogwarts into one £60/$60 set

I would love to see a new Privet Dr. set. It’s long overdue...and we didn’t even get two family members.

[LegoAndDisney]

I second privet drive, but the clock tower is more likely I think.

[sesse]

I would be really surprised, considering the old-gen Harry Potter, if we didn't get Hagrid's house. Personally i would like a new attempt at Privet Drive no4, which in my opinion is the worst HP-set so far. 

I also hope that lego explore some builds they haven't produced before, and not only upgrading the older builds.
