Expand Maybe it will only work on August 31st? After all they are saying "Get ready". It sounds exciting! Are we going to have the official images only the day before to the release?

That could definetely be interesting but would it be minifigurescale of microscale?
deskp Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Grab your smart phone and get ready to explore the Harry Potter™ universe like never before. Coming 31/08, a unique augmented reality (AR) experience will invite you to join James and Oliver Phelps, the actors who played Fred and George Weasley, as they explore the exclusive new LEGO® Harry Potter set. We'll even show you how to build a QR code at home!

BacktoBricks Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 What if the QR code just leads you to that image that appeared on Instagram this morning of Diagon Alley in a glass case.
Hot4Voldemort Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Hey guys, new here but thought I'd chip in with this perhaps pointless information. The QR code actually leads to www.ttbda.com (I guess short for Through The Brick Diagon Alley), which gives a HTTP 301 Permanently Moved response and redirects to the teaser page. Perhaps when the counter finishes it will redirect somewhere else.

Expand That‘s fake, the real one will be microscale Seriously though, that picture is fake because it‘s just a cutout of the boxart. Notice how the minifigs that walk on the street on the box are all curiously missing here

We’ll literally be building with bricks the size of grains of sand, and when it’s finished it’ll be approximately the size of a 1x1 LEGO System plate. Also, jeez, can this guy get an IP ban already

kirkwoodproductions Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Guess that confirms Fred and George are using their CMF face prints. Love the different torso printings - assumed they'd both just get the same torso and a single head used for both of them.

That‘s why TLG has been trying to get into the microscope and nanotech businesses lately! It‘s all coming together... We have to make this public before it‘s too late!

BrickBob Studpants Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Well, the German version of the announcement makes it seem like the set is going to be released on the same day (31st of August). Never thought we‘d see the day where a LEGO set would be released on the same day as it‘s announced

I can just see it now.
lego_guyon02 Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Calling it now, this launch will be a disaster
YetiZombie Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Why is the countdown until 6AM EST on September 1st...are we not getting official pics of the set till then, or are we going to see something on August 31st before the countdown ends?
RealGeronimo11 Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 It's strange that they mention tapping a brick behind the Leaky cauldron, but the set doesn't include this feature... maybe this is an indication of the GWP or something?
7982Brick2 Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 I just hope that I’m able to purchase Diagon Alley on September 1st.
