RODDY Posted July 10 Posted July 10 The Lord can take me now and I will rest easy knowing full well that a Lovegood House is finally becoming Lego set! Minifigure potential is great here, Xenophilius and Deathly Hallows Ron for the first time, Death Eater variants, cool building. Fingers crossed for a play function like the Temple of Airjitzu one where you can recreate the story of the Three Brothers, but I’m not counting on it. Quote
THELEGOBATMAN Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Finally some cheap sets. Getting Hagrid in a 20€ set feels too good to be true, so that's definitely a must-buy. The Sorting Hat ceremony will go along well with the Boathouse. Luna's house sounds awesome, glad to see more Deathly Hallows Part I sets. Wondering what the huge Philosopher's Stone set is based on, they've already covered so much. The rest is kind of whatever. The potions classroom would be exciting since it might be a Half-Blood Prince set, but the name suggests it's another openable gimmick. Buildable Cornish Pixie and Ford Anglie sound unremarkable.

Ferder Posted July 10 Posted July 10 76459 Hagrid & Harry’s Privet Drive Motorcycle - $20 Must just be a minifig version of last January's set. What was even the point of the buildable version? 76460 Hogwarts Castle: Sorting Hat - $15 This will probably be like 76441 Duling club and be a section that can be added to the Great Hall. Considering the Boathouse included Mcgonagall and her list and the Main Tower had the sorting hat, I'm not sure what else could be included with this set to complete that story moment. Perhaps an interactive sorting play feature like 4701's? 76463 Hogwarts Castle: Hospital Wing - $100 Lego sets have usually placed this room in the Clocktower, but the price is too small for that. If they are going for full accuracy for this Most-Detailed version of the castle, maybe this will be part of the back of the quad (marker 25) and the Clock Tower will connect to it via a bridge in another release. 76464 Cauldron: Secret Potions Class - $60 Sounds like a gimmicky buildable cauldron like the Hogwarts Moments 76466 TBD Philosopher’s Stone set - $170 What could this? I'm imagining a diorama or Hogwarts Icons sculptural piece. Either way, it's time to move on from the first movie! 76467 Luna Lovegood’s House - $90 Nice to see this location. It was overdo for representation. Plus, unlike say Shell Cottage, there's an action scene that could be played out. What would the play scene for Shell Cottage be? Burying Dobby in the backyard? 76470 Flying Ford Anglia - $80 Just a buildable car model. Nothing very magical about it on its own. Yawn. 76461 Cornis Pixie - 30$ I'm betting this will look like the new little Hedwig and Faux buildable figures. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted July 10 Posted July 10 I overlooked the „Hogwarts“ part and thought the Sorting Hat was a brick-built model, but the ceremony is much better! After all, we just had two buildable models The PS set has to be some sort of diorama or a collection of buildable objects. I distinctly remember there being an 18+ set in the previous list, and this one fits the bill! Quote
icm Posted July 10 Posted July 10 A minifig scale version of Hagrid's motorcycle and sidecar sounds like a great set for $20. Finally, a direct remake of the old Sorting Hat set from 2001! I had that one, so I'll probably get this one. I wonder what scale the Ford will be this time, or what else it will come with, to justify that price point. The minifig-scale car on its own is worth $15, and the last two large sets it came with were the Whomping Willow and castle wall ($70 in 2018) and the Dursley House ($80 in 2020). So is it a big car this time (but still much smaller than any contemporary non-F1 Icons car), or is it part of a larger scene that the leaker doesn't know about yet? Quote

I would bet that it is just a buildable bigger version of the car. I don´t think we would get another minifig one and if it would be a whomping willow set for instance I am sure that one would have been mentioned. Quote
Coryo Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Should be interesting to see how they depict Hagrid on the motorcycle in minifig-scale, maybe he'll have an entirely new mold that allows him to sit down. 3 hours ago, RODDY said: Minifigure potential is great here, Xenophilius and Deathly Hallows Ron for the first time DH Ron would be ideal, I assume they'll reuse the Malfoy Manor versions of Harry & Hermione, and probably Luna, even though she wasn't actually in the scene. Another version of Scabior or Greyback might show up if they want to make it an action scene. 1 hour ago, Ferder said: What would the play scene for Shell Cottage be? Burying Dobby in the backyard?

Totally, years 1&2 definitely seem over-represented compared to everything else. The Hospital Wing is the perfect opportunity for a new Dumbledore based on the Michael Gambon version though, hopefully. Quote
Virginia_Bricks Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Could the PS set be a Quidditch set based off the first movie? With last years troll and this years challenges it seems the only remaining key scene. And at $170 would be plenty of pieces for the stadium Quote

Or it's LEGO listening to the customers. And noticing that everyone went "Yay, Hagrid's DH motorbike, finally!" when the previous one was announced and then went "WTF is THAT? And where are the minfigs?" when they saw what we were actually getting. Either way I'm expecting two figs (Hagrid and Harry/baby Harry) and a small build. This will fit nicely into LEGO's What Do You Mean It's Not Solely For Boys Series of Affordable HP Sets: Ron and Harry and car, Ron and Harry and giant murderous spider, and now Hagrid and Harry and bike. Other than that ... 76460 Sorting Hat: As has been said, that's probably yet another Great Hall add-on. I'm expecting three figs max including McGonagall and probably yet another never-been-done-before student character, though just two figs is probably the most likely. 76463 Hogwarts Castle: Hospital Wing: The last one was EUR 50 and included the Clock Tower, so it stands to reason that the Most Expensive Hogwarts Ever version won't even do that. 76464 Cauldron: Disney has 43252 Moana's Flowerpot and Wednesday has 76784 Black Dahlia Flower, which both times is a flowerpot with a little scene inside. I'm expecting something like that just without the flower, and maybe with built steam or bubbles coming out of it. 76466 TBD Philosopher’s Stone set: At that price point I'm fully expecting a follow-up to Hogwarts Icons. With the Stone, obviously, and possibly Harry's wand and/or a Gringotts vault key, and other assorted stuff. The troll would probably be too big (and look atrocious when brick-built but it's not like that stopped them with Chewbacca over at SW). Actually what would make the most sense would be to base it on the challenges so, you know, chess piece, flying key, Devil's Snare, potions bottle if you go by the book instead of the movie. 76467 Luna Lovegood’s House: Colour me surprised - fans have wanted this as much as Malfoy Manor for ages, and it's a pretty dark location too, so I'd have figured they'd have waited a bit and then made it for like EUR 150 at the least. Since the budget now is as much as this year's Privet Drive without adjusting for LEGOflation, I'm expecting that we'll get a pretty small build and few figs. 76470 Flying Ford Anglia: Yeesh, another one? This isn't LEGO City! We don't need a ton of cars, and it's always the same one, too! At this price point it pretty much has to be the definitive UCS version. 76461 Cornish Pixie: Buildable Dobby had a list price of EUR 30 so I'm expecting this to be even smaller. Though it could be an interesting parts pack given the colour. Edited July 11 by brickbride Quote
MaxHeadroom Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I am fully preparing for Ron to be excluded from the Lovegood house. Harry, Hermionie, Lovegood, and 1-2 death eaters. No room for Ron, probably. I love that a normal Deathly Hallows Ron is our minifigure white whale to a certain extent which Lego just keeps excluding for whatever reason. Literally just a character we already have wearing basic clothes. It’s our equivalent to whatever minor clone variant Star Wars collectors are desperate for at the moment. I hope I’m proven wrong but after Dimensions, the Battle of Hogwarts sets, and Malfoy Manor I’m not holding my breath. Quote
Virginia_Bricks Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I’m guessing the Hospital Wing will connect to the Main Tower at the Devil’s Snare challenge and be about as long and tall as the Gyfinndor portion of the Main Tower. Include the trio, Pomfrey and Dumbledore from POA. But I’m scratching my head on what they put in the first level and underground chambers. Quote

No way are they giving us the Chamber of Secrets in a set that doesn't have "Chamber of Secrets" in its name. And no way are we getting three detailed storeys in a EUR 100 set.

Clone OPatra Posted Saturday at 09:11 AM Author Posted Saturday at 09:11 AM Well, very happily surprised to see the Lovegood House on the list. Here's hoping it's actually... good. Only a couple of years ago I'd have no trepidation at all. Since then a couple of things have happened: Malfoy Manor facade with some less than ideal figures (especially some faces), and perfectly good Privet Drive at that same price point when it should be $20 cheaper than that. The only way I'll be happy with a pretty small house is if they include a full on Three Brothers vignette alongside it, which would be pretty cool. The rest of the list is just at this point, though I do like a Hagrid variant so that set could turn out worthwhile. Quote

Well noone said we would get it, my point was, that the chamber and the Slytherin common room are the two things that are missing right now, which I would expecgt to happen in this system, but I also said that I would expect it for the big summer set. Anyways I wouldn´t expect the slytherin chambers to be as crappy as the hufflepuff ones, since that one was just a very small module to make the other two modules fit - there is more room for a Slytherin one Actually I have to admit, I looked it up again and it isn´half as bad and small as I remembered and the Gryffindor Common room isn´t really that much bigger aside from including the dorm room, so yeah it will be similar to those two. 7 hours ago, brickbride said: Maybe.

I mean we had more than one buildable hedwig on the shelves aswell as the Hogwarts Express or WWW those where also different approaches on the same thing but still way closer than what we are getting now. And well coincidence? I actually think they knew when they where doing the first that they would do the other thing - or at least talked about how cool thst scene would be in minifig-scale etc. Quote

The Gryffindor side of the main tower’s middle floor was empty so that would work size wise still. I partially believe it will be this size to match it neatly and not include the Clocktower. If they add the Slytherin Common Room that necessitates probably 2 Slytherin based characters. Which would make too many if you include the trio, Dumbledore and Pomfrey. Quote

And the character selection often doesn't make sense (i.e. Kettleburn but not Quirrell in the Main Tower), so they might well give us the Slytherin Common room with only one Slytherin or none at all. Though personally I'd expect the Bloody Baron with it given that so far we've always gotten the House ghost. Edited Sunday at 06:52 AM by brickbride Quote

Yeah but anyways the point was, that those are two very different takes, with one beeing a buildable character/model, the other beeing ab normal playset. Maybe if they would have done it the other way around, - I would think it is strange (as I think the buildable model is strange anyways, since it surely would´t have come to my mind when I would have thought about whad buildable things they could do) but that way around? No, because to me it just seems like a natural thing that they thought it would be cool to have that scene in minifig-scale too, when they did the other set. Quote

I don't know which one is correct, but my initial thought when I saw the set leaks was it would be a Seven Potters set. Not that I'm against it being the arrival scene, but Lego has after all shown now that it's not adverse to DH sets nor even against hinting at Hedwig's demise. And a sidecar that seats a minifigure rather than one which you have to plop the baby Harry piece in the seat would be better functioning I would think. Either way, a Hagrid with googles will hopefully appear, but for Harry I'm just expecting a repeat of the version seen in Umbridge's Encounter. Quote
RODDY Posted Monday at 08:45 PM Posted Monday at 08:45 PM Is there a chance that the Hospital Wing would be Chamber of Secrets themed and come with all Pomfrey and all the petrified victims (Hermoine, Colin Creevey, Justin Finch Fletchley, maybe Ms. Norris) so it can not eat into the minifig count of a potential Viaduct/Chamber of Secrets set?

I think it is more likely they go COS themed to avoid a very similar remake of the Hospital Wing in 2021 than to help with certain mini-figure releases. It would also make it easier to tie in the dungeons with a Slytherin Common Room since the movies never visit that common room in POA. Add the Baron and Draco to your 4 minifigures and that seems reasonable at $100. Then in the Viaduct they only need to include Crabbe and Goyle with the Polyjuice Bathroom and have more space for the Chamber of Secrets. Quote
