As @JeanGreyForever points out, those two were from the previous system, I meant in the current castle system

Oh. I still think of sets from 2022-2023 as fairly recent. And given that the new system only started last year, it makes perfect sense to me that they gave us mainly sets based on the first books first. I have no doubt that we'll get a clock tower (or at least a clock like the one with the Hospital Wing), and probably a Hospital Wing and Sirius Black's Rescue, with the new system as well. Other than that, a large amount of PoA's plot takes place either on the grounds (Hagrid & Buckbeak, stag Patronus, Dementor attack during Quidditch) or beyond them (Hogsmeade & Shrieking Shack, Dementor attack on the train) so it makes sense that we won't get as many castle sets as for PS.

Do anybody know when was the official reveal for the summer sets 2024?

Looking on the web, I think 1st or 2nd of May.

In this vein, the last Chamber of Secrets playset retired last year. It might have come out in 2021, but it had a long shelf life and might be why they decided to stay away from that movie this year.

The minifig leak shows Ron in a green jacket and Harry in his oversized hand-me-down clothes which look either the same or updates to what they wear in the Collectors’ Edition Hogwarts Express set on their way to Year One. Since there are no rumors about another Hogwarts Express set this year I wonder what sets those figs are from. Diagon Alley Quiditch and icecream shops?

You’re right! I didn’t even think about that once since I wasn’t expecting it to be minifig scale 

[Bugbot20082]

Hermione is holding a gold key in the leak with what looks like Harry with the philosopher’s stone, I hope they make a new mould for flying wings for the keys, the old feather part is retired and nothing else in the live inventory works for wings I think, it would be a worthwhile new mould to capture the scene properly

According to fateful on instagram, the Dreamzzz and Ninjago Summer 2025 sets as well as those from "many other themes" will be revealed on May 2, 2025.

There's supposed to be a Sherlock Holmes booknook with minifigs and the LotR one supposedly uses the new Gandalf face from the Shire. At this point minifigs seem to be a booknook staple.

That would make sense, if not a tad early to cause overlap with May the 4th promotions.

I am still hoping for a leak or 2 before then. Even just the simple set description leaks like last year.

The Divination classroom would be the obvious choice outside of the Clock Tower, Hospital Wing, and Prison Tower for a PoA Hogwarts set. Maybe also Lupin's classroom since we haven't gotten a DADA classroom in the new Hogwarts system yet. It would be nice to see a Sir Cadogan portrait as well.

I wonder if we might ever get the Frog Choir in minifigure form.

Dumbledore's office location in the Hogwarts model is at the top of the Main Tower. For this reason, when thinking about the new set, I supposed it could be based on CoS, with his office put in upper part of the tower, partly in the roof section.

So, having Dumbledore's office in the Main Tower set would be coherent with the model, while not coherent with the main PS scene depicted in the set.

In my opinion we might see the office in the Main Tower set.

That's what I assumed, that this Tower set would be based on CoS because of Dumbledore's office. Now I wonder if there's even room for it between the Gryffindor common room and all the challenge rooms featuring Fluffy and the other stuff.

I would expect us to get Lockhart's classroom with the pixies next year, since Lockhart's just too good of a character and the pixies scene is pretty iconic. But yes, I do expect Lupin's class in some shape or form since the Snape boggart seems like exactly the kind of thing they want to revisit with this system.

My thought is that the set may have both the Graind Staircase Tower and the Quad Entrance.

I imagine in the underground section of both the parts PS Challenges (Devil Snare, Chess, Mirror); the Graind Staircase Tower may accommodate a movable stair in the lower part: two floor height (the ground zero perhaps connected with the Great Hall Courtyard and the ground one with the Forbidden Corridor); than the Gryffindor Common Room - one floor height - and Dumbledore Office, one floor height plus the roof section height); in the Quad Entrance section the Arch + trap door passage to the Devil Snare in the ground zero and the Forbidden Corridor in the ground one.

Gryffindor common room will probably be with Gryffindor tower which won't be included with the Grand Staircase Tower.

My guess we get the tower and a castle section that connects to either Faculty/North tower or Lookout tower but does not include those towers.

There might be Dumbledore's Office, room of requirement, challenges in the dungeons and big open section with moving staircases, maybe some slots for future modular sets. I don't expect it to have much more despite the price/piece count.

It seems unlikely we would get the Room of Requirement for a set themed off the early movies when it wasn't introduced till the 5th movie. I'd put the Room of Requirement in the bucket of locations that will be done similar to Potions and Charms. I'd also put Divination and DADA in that category. 2026 would also be 3 years since the last RoR set released the same time between the first one and that one.

I wouldn't expect the DH version to be an interior-only set (if only because of the Fiendfyre snake), though that could work for the OotP version which is more likely IMO since we haven't had that for some time. I wouldn't expect us to get it now either way. Also LEGO seem to think that the RoR is located on the ground floor as per the latest iteration. 😉

I think it's ironic that in the promo images for The Great Hall set, Harry (in his Gryffindor robes) is holding the Philosopher's Stone and Quirrell is eyeing it. Clearly he couldn't wait to get his hands on it until they were in the underground challenges. 

Also, if we take the minifigures in The Great Hall and replace them with some of what we have seen, or can speculate, to know will be in The Main Tower, then I think it might only be students left we don't about. And I feel like the Gryffindor Common Room might be in the set as Nick seems to be in it and The Great Hall gave us the Far Friar with his House Common Room so I'm not sure if they'll give us all Gryffindor students or go for a mix like in The Great Hall.

Quirrell = Quirrell again?

Harry = plain clothes Harry

Ron = plain clothes Ron

Hermione = plain clothes Hermione

Dumbledore = another Dumbledore?

Vector = Kettleburn

Fat Friar = Nearly Headless Nick

Daphne = Parvati?

Terry = Dean Thomas?

Leanne = Neville (pyjamas would be cool, but probably not)

Troll = Fluffy?

 

+ how many more minifigures for the extra $30 = maybe 2 = Percy, Angelina?

I feel like you could still give a selection of all houses and make sense as they are in the staircase similar to the Great Hall.

I also agree 2 is the most we will see in more mini-figures than the Great Hall. Some older students would be great to diversify student heights.

Yes I think you could be right, but I guess it could go either way. I'm thinking maybe a Luna, Cho, or Cedric from other houses even though they weren't introduced until later, but Lego does like to put them in anyway.

Luna wouldn't work here if the set is based on the first film, since she's a year younger than the trio and wouldn't have started school yet. Unless in the movies the idea is that she's a contemporary of Harry, Hermione, and Ron like presumably Cho is.

Divination would be tricky to make as one of the swappable sections because it's not an underground or ground level classroom but located at the top of a tower. I do hope when we get a Divination classroom that they actually implement the trapdoor entrance and maybe staircase as well leading to it.

So? Just make it swappable with the charms class which in turn is swappable with the transfiguration class from the Flying Lesson. That location does technically count as "on top of a tower" and I don't think LEGO will care any further. Again, their last RoR was on the ground floor with a rock base when it's on the seventh floor in the books. (It was also twice the height of their last "Great" Hall.) And the 2018 system had a so-called Hospital "Wing" that definitely wasn't a wing of any description (and also had the bar for the clock play function smack dab across the middle for patients to trip over).

LEGO tend to be very enamored of Gryffindor House, much like the books and movies themselves, so if we get the Gryffindor Common Room I'd expect Gryffindors galore. I'd definitely expect Angelina and/or Dean Thomas as some of the few named characters of colour. Oliver Wood or Percy might be another option for a partial reuse (Percy in the Burrow was in his pajamas but they could at least reuse the face, plus there's the older prefect minifig from the book; Wood was in the Flying Lesson so they'd just have to replace the torso with a generic Gryffindor one).

It depends if the set could be seen as based off different movies if Dumbledore's Office is in there seeing as that location is not seen until the second film. They put Luna in the last COS set despite the fact that we'd never met her by that point in the book or films although yes she would have started Hogwarts that year. They might decide recognisability is better for sales than complete accuracy.

That being said I'd rather she was left for sets matching her film / book appearances and the slot is used for someone different and preferablly new. It was nice to flesh out some background students in The Great Hall even if the faceprints could use some variety.

I'm also now thinking Fred / George with mid legs could be a possibility. I really hope Wood isn't one if them seeing as his faceprint and hair combo have always been reuses and he's already in the wave with a better torso. Percy with a black version of Mr Weasley's hat from The Burrow would be cool.
