In house themes are more likely to be present than licensed ones like HP, but maybe we are lucky this year Expand If these reports come out, when is it likely that we will know the Harry Potter related ones?

Expand Depends on how much are reveled and have long it takes to write reports from the different themes. Within a few hours at least, maybe 1-2, but do not hold your breath regarding HP leaks because of the last 2-3 years limited leaks from toy fairs

Roebuck Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 HP is a good seller in 2019 also From what I understand with google translate 1 of 7 mentioned themes (SW is not among them) that preform well
Metanoios Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 4 Advents Caldendars are confirmed for 2020 at Nuremberg Toy Fair, so this means we will get another one for Harry Potter

What do you think the new advent calendar will be? Yule Ball or Christmas at Grimmauld Place.
lego_guyon02 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 The new Hidden Side and Marvel sets are present at the TF but both pictures and descriptions aren't allowed. If HP is also present it will most likely belong in the same category

RAMcGonagall Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 There is a CMF confirmed for September? Harry Potter most likely? Also there is the set name for a Spider-Man set, so maybe we can still be hopeful?

BrickBob Studpants Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) I expected nothing and yet I‘m still disappointed. I wish TLG stopped attending these fairs, I‘d rather have no information at all rather than knowing that stuff was on display, but nobody’s allowed to talk about it Edit: did they edit the info on the live-feed? Now it says that HP and JW weren‘t on the show floor Edited January 28, 2020 by Lego-Freak

Balrogofmorgoth Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) It seems HP was one of the restricted themes. Maybe some info will leak somehow now that some people have seen them but it’s likely we’ll just have to keep waiting. Maybe we’ll get rough sketches after the fact by memory like we did last year, but who knows, that probably breaches some restriction or other, and nobody really wants to risk it. Bummer. All I care about are licensed themes and they’re all off limits Edited January 28, 2020 by Balrogofmorgoth
Huigberts Builds Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Such a shame. I guess next time we might see a reveal is with New York Toy Fair?

I'm pretty sure that, at least for a while, every HP advent Calendar will at least include Harry. Most likely Ron and Hermione as well. But who knows.

Expand If they do 7 minifigures again for the advent calendar, they should at least include Padma and Parvati Patil, Igor Karkaroff (assuming he isn't in the CMF) and either a Yule Ball McGonagall with lighter green robes or one of the musicians in the Yule Ball concert.
Balrogofmorgoth Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Keep in mind having several exclusive figures in one advent calendar is extremely rare. It happened with the 2019 HP one but I’m not sure we’ll be that spoiled every time. Although it was thrown together last minute but who knows.
