Is that coral color lego is using on the skirt?

I was thinking that, it looks too pink to be orange, but too not-pink to be the pink used on Hermione

last eyar we got 4 new figs.  but those figs only used 5 prints.    Patil there uses 2-3 new ones all by herself.

Don’t forget the statue had a recolored beard. I remember reading once that part recolors cost about the same as new prints. 
 

As for what we might get other than the trio and the Patil twins, pretty much any male Hogwarts student would use the same torso as Harry or Cedric. If you choose a student who’s already a minifigure (Neville, Draco) or one who’s got a face that could use a preexisting head (Roger Davies) then you could easily whip up an ‘exclusive’ character that doesn’t use any new prints.

I guess we're in for a long wait in seeing the remaining figures if its anything like last year. only 4 figures shown on the boxart total, front, top and back.

You can also see in the higher quality pictures that Hermione’s shown in the panel on the top of the box (with Harry and Ron plus a tree and some presents) so we know for certain 4 of the minifigures in the AC, and we can guess the 5th will be the other twin (Parvati since I’m getting more and more sure it’s Padma on the box).

I’ve seen the HQ pic, my eye sight must be really bad if I still can’t see it that well, unless there’s a really good HQ pic out there ??

I keep looking at the picture and I’m still not sold on it not being Hermione

We really won by getting Parvati (or Padma)!! Hopefully we get the other twin as well or I’d be a little disappointed. Honestly, even if they’re the only 2 exclusive minifigs it will be a worthy purchase for me. Is the bar really set that low?

Just had another look and that’s definitely Padma with Ron (makes sense), the sari is a weird pink colour and the top is normal pink

But what is that blue thing in front of the piano?

I think That’s a ‘ravenclaw’ present. It’s round, and you can see the grey clip plate representing its tie floating in front of it 

edit: sorry, only now catching up with the discussion and the newer higher res pics, this AC looks great! So pleased to see the twin(s) confirmed!

I know that feeling lmao, although I’m still not sold on buying the full AC, I’ll probably just get the twins off BL, I don’t have any of last year’s AC builds out, only got the Harry and Ron figures out

I'm not suprised ,because I haven't trusted kingnono from the start. Now even if he GUESSES stuff right we still can't trust him. It is a shame that now the hogsmead GWP is up for debate. I think a yule ball Advent calender is probably better thn a OoTP because we can add it to hogwarts. Where we would have nowhere to put the OOtp one.

If it follows what it’s doing now then an OotP AC wouldn’t come until 2022 anyway, IMO;

year 1; Philosopher’s Stone Great Hall/Advent Calendar

year 2; Goblet of Fire Clocktower/Advent Calendar

year 3; Half Blood Prince Astronomy Tower/Advent Calendar

year 4; Order of the Phoenix Grimmauld Place/Advent Calendar

that gives all films that have major Christmas scenes

I'm more worried about the D2C. If Kingnono turns out to be a fraud we're no longer sure it exists, nor do we know if its DA or if it's minifigure scale or nanoscale. But I guess it saves us all a ton of money

Lmao, it definitely does me if it is Microscale ?

Same here, I don't even care what figures they'll include. If it's microscale I'm not buying it

[Brickity]

I’m likely looking too much into it, but is Parvati’s hair a new/friends piece? Sure, it looks like the Hermione AT piece at first sight (At least to me) but if you zoom in there’s a middle part going on and the hair falling over the shoulder sticks out backwards a lot more. I made a comparison looking at the piece in black on my hand.

if there is another microscale d2c, at least that would be of something marketable enough to also get standard playsets...

Looks like the same piece used on the Centaurs to me but I might be wrong

I’m exactly the same, when Hogwarts first came out I kinda wanted the figures, now it’s been out so long I don’t even care that I don’t have them because to me it’d be pointless without the stand to display them because they wouldn’t go in my Hogwarts display ?

Looks to me quite a lot like the new Dumbledore/ centaur hair

That's Dumbledore's hair in black, it's definetely not that long (or at least it doesn't look that long to me)

Ahhh, I didn’t even think of Dumbledore’s hair, I don’t know why not tbh ?

[deskp]

Personally I think it looks more like Dumbledore’s hair, but if the recolour would be too expensive I reckon it might be the centaur/Sally hair piece because that is fairly long and already in black ??
