Having just built some of the One Piece sets, I‘m now wondering whether the portraits will continue to appear in the 1HY sets at least. I‘m still missing two of them, and resorting to Bricklink isn‘t fun  The chocolate frog cards ended after two years, so it‘s not super likely, but it‘d be a nice thing to continue since it‘s still the same castle system and unlike the cards, the portraits are actually incorporated into the builds!

I'd expect them to continue because they are also an easy way to decorate hallways and dungeons in otherwise boring parts of sets.

If by some miracle I don't have all of them when they stop releasing them, I have already decided to email Lego customer service and ask for my missing ones. So far I have collected each set that contains them so I think it is fair to expect to get a full set in that scenario.

Also how do they do that now that we have the Great Hall? It sounds like better material for an Accessory Pack (that we no longer get ) or an Advent calendar. 

Consensus is that the Sorting Ceremony will be like the Duelling Club, i.e. yet another set you can replace the original contents of the Great Hall with. That would make it the fourth one (the Great Hall, 2024 AC, Duelling Club being the first three) and that's part of what I meant when I said they've been wasting slots. I really cannot see how we'll get anywhere with this Most "Complete" Hogwarts system ever in a reasonable timeframe.

They can make it a part of a larger set like the Astronomy Tower so they can completely avoid naming it or they can do a different name like Fiendfyre Escape or Dumbledore’s Army Training or Room of Hidden Things for the Half Blood Prince Vanishing Cabinet. It’s so easy to do and having multiple variations of the same room which is known for changing would be a cool play feature. After the Prisoner of Azkaban, new rooms become much more scarce so I could definitely see them redoing it in some form. 

They could, but there's two problems with this. One, like I've said they've been wasting so many slots already - shouldn't they concentrate on giving us additional parts of the castle instead of redoing things like the Great Hall interior or the RoR again and again?

Two, we now know that the RoR, closed up, equates to a single small slide-out module. I could actually see them doing it in another set like you've suggested so you can then replace it with the GWP. But given how crappy those placeholder modules tend to look and given the space constraints I cannot see how they would do the training or Fiendfyre version without it looking very bad. Maybe the Vanishing Cabinet as a stand-alone, especially if HBP Draco happens to be part of the set already, but nothing else.

By the way I (somewhat to my surprise) like the hammock version, mostly because of the hammocks. They should sell this for EUR 10-15 (which sounds about right for one fig) or even EUR 20 if they include two more figs, and I bet people would buy it. But that's how it's been for some time; more and more I've been feeling that LEGO keep their better and more creative designs for GWPs (that is, marketing purposes) while regular customers are stuck with their second best.

Just found the lifestyle pic comparing DA and Hogsmeade side by side. Wow that's a bad angle, whoever decided to put WWW in the middle really did Hogsmeade no favours at all (since WWW is the only DA building without much of a sidewalk in front and therefore looks even more massive than the others in comparison). The Three Broomsticks is the only Hogsmeade building (barely) higher than WWW and that's without accounting for the many slanted roofs taking away so much space. Or, you know, the fact that DA has one more module. If you put the two sets up side by side and tell visitors that they cost basically the same (assuming you bought DA early before the price increase) it's like a textbook definition of LEGOflation.

German YouTuber Held der Steine has a video review up of the HP booknook. Near the end he compares it side by side to the Reobrix one and the LEGO LotR one. Until then I hadn't realized that the two LEGO ones aren't remotely the same size - the LotR one (for all its many faults) is much taller than the HP one. Do the designers not talk to each other? I cannot imagine that displaying both on your bookshelf would look good and that's without factoring in the Sherlock Holmes one, too.

Without GWPs there is basically no reason to buy directly from Lego, so it makes sense that they would ensure these sets are somewhat desirable. Be thankful the mini-figures aren't made with exclusive parts

Doesn't matter much since the stickers at least are exclusive.

Since I don't collect the new Hogwarts system I don't care either way. But I do wonder who this is meant for. The new Hogwarts sets all aren't exclusive or even part-exclusive except for the Flying Lesson (which doesn’t make the spending limit) so it would be unprofitable to buy them for the GWP, and people who buy other sets (such as DA which goes EOL this year) might not have much use for it. Is LEGO trying to encouage resellers?

Is Neville's cardigan a reusued torso?

Edit: Did a bit of Bricklink searching and found that Neville's torso is indeed a reuse of a torso print first used in 2023 for an old lady in the Christmas Alpine Lodge set. I am indeed grateful he does not have any exclusive parts as I have no desire to purchase either Hogsmeade or spend over £115 on Harry Potter Lego in order to get the GWP.

- 76460: Hogwarts Castel: SSorting Hat 15$

Is it a Sorting Hat or Sorting Ceremony? 15$ for a buildable sorting hat like the small Hedwig and Fawkes makes sense for the price. If we consider the prices of the Accessory Packs, though, for 15$ you couldn't really do the ceremony unless it was like that old set with a spinning disk and didn't include minifigs from various Houses.

The leaked name is Hogwarts Castle: Sorting Hat Ceremony so it seems pretty certain it's a Hogwarts module. I'm not expecting much more than a plate with a stool that can be attached into the Great Hall just like the Duelling Club stage, and then McGonagall, the Sorting Hat and a student, probably Harry and reusing the face print from the Harry that came with the Sorting Hat buildable figure.

In the US it is rare to get more than a 20% discount on Lego sets (excluding extremely time limited clearance sales and maybe Black Friday), so assuming the assigned value of $20 and 2x VIP points (10%) if you spend $130 you get $32 worth of value you wouldn't get from another retailer. Roughly a 25% value. At $160 spent it becomes 20% and therefore on par with other retailers.

In Europe sets get discounted quicker and often heavier.

The largest market for Lego currently is the US so their sales tactics are going to favor the US.

Imo I don’t see any wasted spots yet in this new modular Hogwarts line. Yea there are some repeats like the Great Hall, Dumbledore’s Office, and Potions but for the Most Complete and Detailed Hogwarts, they are absolutely essential and iconic, you can’t have a Hogwarts without them.
This is why you have to have a Room of Requirements, it shows up in 3 different films, missing it would be wild. And it’s a new version we never received before and having another variant would be great for people who miss the GWP and gives those who did get it the really cool option of literally having it change. And yet there’s still so much new or haven’t seen in more than two decades two stuff like Troll on The Loose, Dueling Club, all the Philosoper’s Stone tasks in one Hogwarts system for the first time since the OG Hogwarts. Charms Class finally bring integrated into the system. The only one I kinda see as wasted is the Owlery as it’s own separate thing but it’s still a location that has never really got its own dedicated set. 
 

I think they can get most of if not all the iconic locations done in two years, one year if really ambitious but they don’t need to be with the HP show being pushed back in 2027 when I imagine they would reboot the system. Viaduct Entrance with Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin Common Room, Library, Girls Bathroom. A solo DADA classroom with the Bogart and Lupin. An Astronomy Tower with Umbridge’s Office, Divination Classroom where Umbridge was doing her teacher inspections, Ravenclaw Common Room, something Slughorn related either his Club or Office. A solo RoR set. And the Viaduct itself basically a remake of the 2023 Battle of Hogwarts but more detailed and fleshed out, maybe with a Soldier Statue or something. And you pretty much have most of the scenes in about 5 sets while completing the Hogwarts silhouette.

Hey all!

Since we’re all pondering what new sets could be in store for the future, and since LEGO does appear to be listening to our requests in some regard (Lovegood House, Malfoy Manor, a better Hagrid’s Motorbike set, Dobby’s Sock, etc.), I’m just curious what sets you all might like to see in the future! Despite some remakes, I feel there is still definitely some room for new sets or some improvement for older ones! 

Here are some of mine that I’d like to see:

• DH Locket Horcrux Battle / Tent
• DH Shell Cottage
• DH Forbidden Forest Scene
• DH Blowing Up the Bridge
• *any set with DH Ron*
• HBP Inferi Cave
• HBP Astronomy Tower
• HBP Slughorn Potions Class
• OotP Battle of the Department of Mysteries / Hall of Prophecies
• OotP Room of Requirement Remake
• GoF Third Task Maze
• GoF First Task Remake
• PoA Passageway to Honeydukes remake
• PoA Lupin’s Boggart Class
• CoS or PoA or HBP Quidditch Pitch
• CoS Slytherin Common Room
• PS/SS Library
• PS/SS Unicorn in the Forbidden Forest
• PS/SS House Points Hourglasses

Some of these could easily be smaller $20-$30 ish sets, which are often some of my favorite sets, like the 2019 Expecto Patronum and the 2019 Rise of Voldemort!
 

I would also love to see the 4 minifigure packs return to give us a Death Eater battle pack! 
 

Let us know your thoughts and if you have any other ideas to add!

This is a neat list as well! For me with the release of the Lovegood House the only thing I really have left on my list is the Inferi Cave and the Univorn scene tho I know the later is def not happening anytime soon.

Huh. That must be a regional thing within the US, then, given how many people boast on reddit that they buy their LEGO from Walmart for 50-70% off.

In any case the assigned value of GWPs is usually overstated (such as here - that's the price of the Charms Class, which has three figs not one). Personally I never buy directly from LEGO if I can help it; there are a couple smaller exclusive sets I might even have wanted, but the nearest store is several hours away and they charge quite a bit for shipping, too, which adds to their already overstated list prices. 10% (at maximum) off that isn't much of a draw. The GWP thresholds are usually way above what I'd spend and I'm sure I'm not alone in that given how many blogs give recommendations for "filler" items to reach the tresholds. I'm at a point where I've made peace with the fact that I'll never own the majority of those sets that interest me because they're all a) too expensive or b) not readily available (i.e. GWPs).

But you WILL have a Hogwarts without them because even if you buy all the sets there's no way for you to cram them into the Most Complete Hogwarts Ever.

First of all I don't think the show has much if anything to do with it; I very much doubt they'd reboot their Hogwarts Castle based on that since the layout will probably be identical or close to it. Second - we already have the list for the first of two 2026 waves. The only Hogwarts Castle modules on that are the Sorting Hat (another wasted slot IMO - of course you can call it something else but the fact remains that it doesn't give us a new location) and the Hospital Wing. Which at a reported EUR 100 will probably include one or two other small rooms at the most, comparably to the Flying Lesson at EUR 80 (which is partly exclusive and was thus probably more reasonably priced, since LEGO does seem to factor in market discounts already).

From your list that still leaves two large (we're probably talking EUR 200+) sets - Viaduct Entrance with Chamber of Secrets etc and Astronomy Tower), one mid-size set (Viaduct), and two small sets (RoR again, and Lupin's Class). No way can or will all of these get done within the second wave of 2026, if only because most parents wouldn't shell out for two large sets in one wave or even one year. Those have to be spread out for sure.

And then we're still missing a bunch of other plot-relevant stuff (such as Moody's Class, Lockhart's Class, Prefects' Bathroom, Sirius Black's Cell) inside the castle not to mention a bunch of stuff on the grounds (Quidditch, Whomping Willow with Ford Anglia - LEGO love that damn car! -, Triwizard Tournament tasks if they even go there, Forbidden Forest, Care of Magical Creatures Class). I do think that @Ferders list is too comprehensive, I doubt we'll get many teachers' offices or that any House other than Gryffindor will get their dorms, but there's still quite a few sets to be squeezed out. And I've already omitted everything which is canonically part of the castle but not really plot-relevant such as Binn's Class and the various other classes we only hear about in passing.

If they were in a rush to finish this thing we'd be seeing it in the set names for January 2026. So either this reboot will last longer than the previous ones or it won't be complete. I don't see any other options.

I think that's always a YMMV situation. If you really want something, you can't count on waiting and getting it at a discount that extreme.

Here in Australia by comparison we have retailers who price slightly below LEGO's MSRP from the get go, and if you wait a bit you can always get at least 25% off anything. There is literally no reason to buy from LEGO here unless you want a GWP, but there's enough of the market that doesn't shop around.

All that said, with how some of the sets are priced (like the new Dursley house), there's no reliable discount that can entice me to buy. I'm hoping that isn't the case with the Lovegood House, since that's one I'm looking forward to seeing.

I'm not buying it either but I actually thought the Dursley House was the most reasonably priced HP set we've had lately, given how much the previous version was and the fact that this one closes up. :-) But stuff like the Malfoy Manor facade with crappy figs for EUR 150 is a big no-no for me.

It's very much a YMMV situation. The best you can count on is 20% off for sets with RRP under $100. You might see a 20% off discount on a larger set after it's been out for a year or two and is close to retirement. Walmart and Target store clearances are highly variable location to location, and you have to go to the brick-and-mortar stores frequently to catch good clearance prices. I have very rarely seen these good clearance prices in the stores I go to, and I've never seen something like today's online Walmart flash Lego sale before.

Is Neville's cardigan a reusued torso?

Edit: Did a bit of Bricklink searching and found that Neville's torso is indeed a reuse of a torso print first used in 2023 for an old lady in the Christmas Alpine Lodge set. I am indeed grateful he does not have any exclusive parts as I have no desire to purchase either Hogsmeade or spend over £115 on Harry Potter Lego in order to get the GWP.

You beat me to it but for anyone else interested it should be 973pb5433c01, last seen in the Tudor Corner modular.

@BacktoBricksYou'd still need the exclusive sticker sheet in order to recreate the GWP, though.

True, but I was meaning for me personally as a predominantly minifigure collector. I'm not collecting the new Hogwarts as tempting as the Main Tower has been, so the GWP only held value for me in the minifigure it included, so now I don't have to make a purchase.

Out of interest, what does everybody think of the Hogsmeade sign? 

For me it holds no value, as it is neither traditional Lego bricks nor does it look like anything particular, so in one way it seems like a very lame GWP for such a big purchase. On the other hand, I am grateful that Hogsmeade does not come with an exclusive and desirable set which makes me either need to purchase it or buy on the secondhand market. From other comments I've seen, other people too just think it will be good to sell it on and effectively get some money off Hogsmeade, so I'm not sure who the sign is really marketed at. I'm guessing it's just a chase exclusivity thing or a very small market of those who like Lego trinkets?

I sold the Weasley clock for the same reason. There is a small niche of Lego fans who enjoy non-set Lego items (like the recent posters). The clock goes for $40 on the secondary market similar in price to the Jango Fett key chain that came with the new UCS Jango Fett.

I'm a long time collector, having started my collection in 2018, so I'm pretty satisfied with what I have, but there are some sets I strongly wish to see in the future.

• PS - Leaky Cauldron. I'm waiting this set since Diagon Alley and a lot of time I was tempted to build it on my own.
• PS - Detention in the Forbidden Forest. A set we'll hardly see, but I'd really like to have Firenze and an alive unicorn.
• CS/HPB: Knockturn Alley. Same considerations as for Leaky Cauldron.
• PoA: Lupin's Class. This is a set I strongly believe we'll see in the future, as a stand alone set, like Snape's Class.
• DH: Doe and Tent.

Of course, there are other scenes I wouldn't mind to see (OotP - Minister Battle; HPB - Quidditch Practise; HPB - Inferi Cave: DH Forbidden Forest scene), but those written above are the main ones.

What do we think are the sets for the Summer 2026 wave? Some slots seem to already be taken:

- a large (think EUR 200+) expansion for the Hogwarts system (I'd guess Chamber of Secrets)

- at least one or two mid-size expansions for the Hogwarts system, possibly one inside and one outside the castle proper

- at least one interior-only expansion for the Hogwarts system

- another playset Diagon Alley entry (I'm expecting Flourish and Blotts and a price of at least EUR 100)

Anything else?

Summer 2025 had this playsets: The Main Tower, Quality Quidditch Supplies & Ice Cream Parlour, Aunt Marge's Visit and Herbology Class.

As you said, I think the large expansion will be the Chamber of Secrets and I think this set will represent the Viaduct Entrance section. Inside, of course, there will be the Chamber of Secrets and, I think, Slytherin Common Room, maybe a Myrtle's Bathroom remake and something minor, like the corridor with the Chamber of Secrets writing on the wall and the library.

I think the interior expansion could be Lupin's Class. Flourish and Blotts as Diagon Alley expansion is really likely.

I've no idea on what there could be in the Aunte Marge's Visit dimension. In my opinion, something from GoF or OotP or both, like a First Task or Voldemort Rising remakes and a Ministry Battle.
