Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion

[Balrogofmorgoth]

It is disappointing that there are two Hermiones and Harry’s from OOTP and no Ron for OOTP

I do wonder what it is. We're really missing some key characters. Still I do love the sound of all these sets.

I hope it's Battle of the Ministry. Harry could be excluded like in the Beauxbatons Carriage and we could be getting Voldemort, Dumbledore, Bellatrix and Lucius.

I wonder if the rabbit is the CMF bunny mould or a new one. The otter has be to new  Let's hope a regular otter also shows up at some point, maybe in a City set or a CMF series. I mean, the stag mould still only exists in trans-light blue 

The only disappointing thing to me so far is the lack of bad guys and members of the Order. I guess that's what the CMF series is for 

[Balrogofmorgoth]

I’m also bummed there’s not a single Death Eater or Order member

[RandomSniper109]

The grawp set sounds good, but the da set doesn’t sound the best, I don’t understand why people are so happy about patronus’ they are cool but aren’t very useful. An inferi cave would have been so much better for pieces (a new locket, inferi for army building, and loads of rock pieces) and for things we have missed in the past

I guess Nymphadora and Kingsley are givens in the CMF, appart of them, we already have Mad-Eye, Dumbledore, Remus, Sirius (which I think will be in the CMF), McGonagall, Snape... Arthur and Molly will very likely come out next year with the Burrow. I stil hope for Lockhart, Sprout and Pomfrey to come out with the CMF, probably Dumbledore with baby Harry and a new McGonagall as it was previously suggested.

[Balrogofmorgoth]

It’s almost nothing but Hogwarts students this year

(a new locket,

I still think the locket will come out with Kreacher in the CMF

I really hope so.

Yeah but that would still leave out cursed hand dumbledore, ginny, the weasleys (especially Ginny and Arthur) Snape (we already have him, but it's literally his movie. Besides fully black robes would've worked better with the theme of the later movies)

Yeah I second that.

I think patronuses are far more important to the franchise than the inferi, but they would've been fun to get anyways.

So far if there is one thing I have concluded from the previous Harry Potter sets is that Lego has done a good job of making sure that the sets and the CMF cover the films well and that the line up for the previous CMF made more sense once we knew what sets were coming (putting Cedric in to fit with the later Graveyard set for example). Going on that, I can't see them missing out the necessary Order members or Death Eaters it will just be a case of whether they appear in that last set (or any unknown sets) or in the CMF.

The set choices are very strange this year, privet drive would have been so much better if it had tonks and mad-eye etc on broom or do it next year for Harry leaving privet drive with hagrid and his motorcycle and some Harry variants in different clothes

[THELEGOBATMAN]

So we've got 4 regular June sets, and one other 40€ set (could be June, could be August).  We've also got the Advent Calendar, CMF series and a rumoured (not sure if it's a legit rumour or not) "big set that's not a playset.There could also be other unknown sets (like last year), I feel this situation is similar:

4 regular June sets (Patronus, 1st Challenge, Hagrid's Hut and Clock Tower), while this year it's Classroom, Forest, Private Drive and Astronomy Tower, plus one a little more "off the record" set (Knight Bus), while this year is the 40€ unknown set.

That means we could still get an August wave with one or two sets. Personally, if I was the one to choose those sets, I think we need the Inferius Cave set and a Ministry Battle set.

I imagine there’s probably a small August wave like last year that we won’t know about for a while

I love how many forest builds they gave this time around with Aragog, expecto patronum, whomping willow and now grawp. Compared to 2011's "forbidden forest" this one actually feels so much more like the forbidden forest

I completely agree with those extra sets, and they would fit in very well with the prices of last years sets, £25 for inferi, £40-50 for ministry

So do I. I also imagine that there will be characters in the CMF to complement the Privet Drive set so that it can be an appropriate location to either film 2 or 5 e.g. Tonks or Kingsley or a Polyjuice Harry.

Most likely the Ministry of Magic

Voldemort would be a stupid inclusion as he'd be almost exactly the same as the Graveyard version. It would be nice to get HBP Dumbledore but not absolutely necessary, I'd rather get a Ministry set with almost all characters being new

Last year people complained about there being barely any students in the sets.....

Maybe not Mad-Eye, his CMF version would be far superior

Yeah, slowly but steady we're getting a very good looking forbidden forest.

I was just about to post this
A new otter is great, but it is not very useful before it comes in colours like the real animal.. Only a matter of time i guess

It wouldn’t surprise me if the horse piece is just a reuse of the trolls one 

I would not be surprised if the mould is new. Lego makes different moulds of the same thing for minidolls and minifigs all the time, just look at the animals
The centaur will make a lot of AFOLs outside HP very happy I think

We're not getting any news on the $40 set today. It does exist but it wasn't present at the TF

I know Harry's been done to death but it would be cool if they included one in this set with an alternate face for when Voldemort possesses him

Oh well, we've gotten enough news to ease our hunger for information for a while

Yeah I'm pretty happy with what we got here. I think Lego is really listening to us for this theme, for which I'm grateful.

[Pulp Detective]

Both the OotP and HBP movies barely had any sets covering them yet Lego decided to waste a slot this year for a remake of a set based on CoS.Well atleast I know which set I won't be buying.

[Balrogofmorgoth]

I like getting students I just prefer characters like Order members and Death Eaters and such

For now I feel the same way. I might change my mind when I see the set pictures but right know I'd say it's a skip for me
