Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[JS038]

Hogwarts Castle: East Wing- this is so vague it only peaks my curiosity. Are we going to be getting the bell towers with it? Or is this simply the viaduct entrance? 

Hogwarts courtyard plants is probably a botanical… although I’d love if it was a courtyard expansion for the catle.

Dobby the free elf is likely going to be a remake of the Harry, Lucious, Dobby scene from CoS. 379 pieces is high for that simple scene though? 

knockturn alley is self explanatory. 

this leaves two remaining un-leaked sets. Hoping one is a classroom insert: 

- 76475: 244 pieces 

- 764777: 480 pieces

Viaduct confirmed, but the second modular (Courtyard plants) seems up in the air. Could be a whomping willow set or maybe it attaches the East Wing and you can sit the Greenhouse on it

Viaduct is not confirmed. 
 

For those who haven’t seen/found it yet, the list is 

-76462: Hogwarts House Symbol (14+, 542 pcs.)

- 76469: Dobby the Free Elf (8+, 379 pcs.)

- 76471: Knockturn Alley Shops (8+, 788 pcs.) 

- 76473: Hogwarts East Wing (10+, 2164 pcs.)

- 76474: Hogwarts Courtyard Plants (14+, 817 pcs.) 

This leaves 76475 and 76477 unaccounted for, although the later is likely the advent calendar. 
 

Some notes:

- East Wing ≠ Viaduct. It is possible a viaduct side build will be included (it is a massive set and an in scale viaduct bridge would only be wide enough for one minifig), but the bulk of the set will be the actual East Wing, which is still very likely to include the Chamber of Secrets, considering that the last massive castle expansion was named Central Tower instead of Dumbledore’s Office or Third Floor Corridor. 
 

- Knockturn Alley Shops will definitely feature Borgin and Burke’s, likely alongside Marcus Scarr’s tattoos parlor – a location invented for the Orlando theme park’s Knockturn Alley that was featured on the sign of the previous Shops set (continuing a pattern). 
 

- Presuming Lego doesn’t inexplicably recreate the soon to be retiring Dobby the House-Elf set, Dobby the Free Elf will probably be a recreation of the 2002 and 2010 Dobby sets where he is freed. We won’t know for sure until prices drop. 
 

- Given its age rating, Hogwarts Courtyard Plants is almost certainly a Botanicals style set of buildable magical plants and not another modular (76477 is still a candidate for that).

Ohhhhh, good point!! I just assumed it was gonna be a remake of the 2023 figure, but you’re right, based on the set name it could be a playset!  A wave without at least one buildable figure is suspicious though. At least one of the unknown sets has to be one!

Not so suspicious when you consider we’re getting a buildable Hogwarts crest and unspecified plants. When you think about it, a school crest equals four whole buildable creatures this wave.

Mmmm.... 76473: Hogwarts East Wing is a pretty lame name, since the great hall faces east'ish 🤔

If you follow the book canon and put the lake at south, this would be correct 

Anyway, could the name suggest the presence of something more than Viaduct Entrance, like a section of the Central Tower, Long Gallery, Bell Tower part of the castle?

[(1)Stein]

Maybe this can help!

[Virginia_Bricks]

Totally meant Viaduct Entrance when I typed Viaduct. Personally don't believe Lego would use that name in a set name given its uniqueness, so not sure that indicates more of the East Wing will be with it. Maybe, but the name isn't enough to convince me.

I am going to hold out hope that Courtyard Plants is the modular and Dobby the Free Elf (can't see them only doing 3 modular sets in the likely final year, but maybe they could). The age rating suggest Dobby (though the current buildable is 8+ and all of Ninjago's 14+ sets are mini-fig) over Courtyard, but an 800 piece set would be a nice final facade piece to the castle.

[BrickMatit]

Hogwarts East Wing shouldn't be Hogwarts Castle: East Wing, following the scheme we've seen until now? Could be a working temporary name?

And Hogwarts Courtyard Plants is a strange name too. What plant are there in the Courtyard? Whomping Willow is, at least in CoS movie, in courtyard, while in PoA is in the grounds, but I don't remember anything else so iconic - in GoF there's a tree in the Courtyard, but well it's not something you can consider iconic.

But my little one has fall in love with The Burrow (she doesn't understand we don't eat lego pieces...), so let me ask you if there is a good moment to buy it. I missed the Room of Requirements gift and I'm not sure if there will be any other set gifted before September. I guess the collectors sets don't lower their price...

It is possible that they lower the price of the Set for the Back to Hogwarts event in September or at Insiders days (like they did with Gringotts last month), though you never know which Sets they will choose. Eitherway there should be double points then too, and a new GWP, so then would probably be a good chance to buy it even if not discounted. 

The Burrow isn´t exclusive to Lego btw, but should also be avaiable at one of Legos exclusive Partners, who might have it discounted sometime too, though, no idea who has it in your country and how the chances for discounts are - likely Back to Hogwarts would remain the better option, as at least here shops tend to not discount exclusives so much.

On the other side, any chance of getting this year a Howgart set with Luna minifig? I thought she was the minifig on the Hospital Wing but she is not, and she's my daughter favorite character. 

Given she is a rather important character I would be surprised if they wouldn´t include her in any set of the castle. However if you don´t mind used Sets 76400 Hogwarts Carriage and Thestrals might be worth a look, really great set I think.

1) I wasn't saying that Ravenclaw belongs to the Astronomy Tower canonically, I was saying that LEGO think it does. The 2018 castle had a Clock Tower with the Hospital Wing and DADA, and we got the same combination here (though DADA's now inexplicably in the dungeons) minus the clock. They also had an Astronomy Tower with Ravenclaw.

Those sets will always require compromises or else they wouldn´t be able to include everything they wanted without making the Castle even bigger than it already is. That beeing said, something beeing placed somewhere in a set doesn´t mean Lego thinks it belongs there...

16 hours ago, brickbride said:

2) That makes no real sense. Why would LEGO try harder to market small sets? I think Harry was in the Polyjuice Potions Mistake precisely because he's not a figure many people want. Snape was in the Chess Set and Voldemort with robes was in the flagship set (Chamber of Secrets), and those are much more sought after (check the prices even now!).

You are kinda ignoring the fact that because Harry was in the cheapest Set, he is also avaiable in way higher numbers than those other figures. Which is not going to say pouplarity doesn´t play a role too, but you can´t just base popularity on the prices alone.

In the case of the patroni, there's an additional size difference; obviously the stag would be much more expensive to produce based on material costs alone, so putting it into a small set makes no sense. If they wanted to do that we would have gotten it with the motorcycle chase but instead they went out of their way to not declare that one to be an anniversary set so they would not have to include anything. I think it's pretty clear by now that either the stag will be its own set (which would make the most sense, as all the patronus collectors would then be forced to buy it, plus LEGO loves remaking sets and even has a current Dementor mould it could use) or it will be included in a really expensive set.

The question is really how many Patroni we even can still expect, but I was kinda thinking it would be included in the main set anyways. But I actually don´t think we will be getting that many Patroni in this wave.

Honestly, when I saw it my first thought was it would be some buildable plants and was somewhat confused about the courtyard part. If it is an actual playset the name seems strange to me, as just Courtyard would make more sense to me - and I have no idea how they would make the courtyard, since first of all it is still open, and the number of pieces doesn´t seem like it is going to close it and secondly I am not sure how likely it is that they make a rock section just to place some plants and a spring on it.

I would have prefered the Knockturn Alley to be this years September Set, though. And well if Dobby is a buildable he wouldn´t be the first to get multiple versions (Hedwig anyone?)

Yeah, these aren't final names. The Great Hall courtyard never had plants, the Clocktower courtyard had vines and the Transfiguration Courtyard had that tree for maybe 1-2 movies (primarily GOF).

Since someone says it came from a French website, I am now trying to reverse engineer what the original in French might be (I thankfully speak a little) and then compare to my French Harry Potter books to see what might be missed. Is this too much for a toy leak? Absolutely, but half the fun of leaks.

Too much for a Toy leak? Maybe, but surely not for an Hobby. As I can´t speak French I had to rely on google translate but that was a dead end really, let us know if you have a guess.

You know what now that you bring up GoF Courtyard, I want a Moody’s Transfiguration Lesson set with ferret Malfoy.

Yes, you're likely right. I was confused by the fact the Ford Anglia pass on a paved section before going into  the Forbidden Forest.

Knowing these are rough translations from another language definitely adds another layer to things. ‘Hogwarts Courtyard Plants’ could be accurate, or it could be Google Translate’s poor attempt at something that will be more along the lines of ‘Hogwarts: Planted Courtyard’ when we see it in English. 
 

I’d also love to know what ‘courtyard’ was translated from, because as you pointed out, there really isn’t a wealth of fantastical magical plants in the known courtyards. Meaning if the set is buildable objects, something has definitely gotten lost in translation there. 
 

Ultimately, for both Dobby and 76474, we need set prices to definitively say whether they’re minifigure playsets or buildable objects. 
 

[JS038]

Knowing this is a translation from French does have me wondering if there’s an error here. Lego doesn’t usually name anything botanical related as simply “plants”, that seems odd.

My delusion is that it is a castle set titled “Hogwarts: Courtyard garden” or something like that.

I'm really not, where do you get that idea? Of course Harry's a popular character with kids, that's why he's in almost every set and we get polybags with him. But he's not as popular with collectors who often prefer rarer characters. The Polyjuice Potions Mistake was a great set, great value for money, and the only somewhat allowance-friendly set of 2021, so I'm sure kids bought it but not specifically for the golden Harry (especially since Harry was a character in it anyway). Whereas collectors bought it for completionism but again, not specifically for their love of Harry.

Besides, again, Harry is not the stag. The effort and material costs of producing a golden Harry are not larger than those of producing any other character. Whereas producing a stag would be a lot more expensive than producing say, a cat, based on material costs alone.

No it's not. How do I know this? Because it's 14+. If even the really large castle modules are 10+ max (Main Tower, Great Hall) there'd be absolutely no reason to make a mid-size set 14+. This has to be buildable objects. Probably with the Whomping Willow prominently figured since we're due a new one anyway (the last came with the Shrieking Shack that's no longer on shelves.) And LEGO like That Damn Tree almost as much as they like That F**ing Car.

This leaves 76475 and 76477 unaccounted for, although the later is likely the advent calendar. 

As for the sets other than the Courtyard thing (see above) ...

House Symbol: Don't need it. Next.

Dobby: Don't need that either. I will agree with a previous posting that 379 pieces is a whole lot for this scene (I actually own two copies of Freeing Dobby because I love the old Lucius figure so much ;-)). However it's about the size of the Potions Class, and 8+ is the age requirement of a small Hogwarts module so that fits as well. You could do it with four figs I guess (Dobby, Harry, Lucius, Dumbledore), the book, the sock, and some mechanism in order to throw Lucius around. I'm really not sure what else but it doesn't really matter since with this system the fold-out walls would take up most of the piece count anyway. (Also the setting should be Dumbledore's office, right? So that would be yet another version of it to go with the one in the Main Tower and the polybag! Talk about wasting slots. Again.)

Knockturn Alley Shops: Sigh. LEGO, why are you doing that to me? I love Knockturn Alley but I hate the playset DA line, so I don't think I'll get it after all. By the way does anyone remember that GWP of B&B with the floo? Do you think there would be a way to incorporate that? It's a theoretical question for me because I don't own that one and won't pay aftermarket prices for it. The name (with "B&B" and a semicolon after it) had people wondering back then but It's been a while and we've never heard anything about it ever again.

East Wing: Don't need that one either since I don't collect the new modular system. But I was pretty sure that any set including the Chamber of Secrets would actually be called "Chamber of Secrets" (an exciting, promising name) instead of something really dull like "East Wing". So I wonder if we'll even see it there. If we don't, though, that should be definitive proof that they're intending on carrying on with the system for more than three years since the Chamber is kind of an integral part of Hogwarts and unlike with certain towers that may or may not fit the silhouette there's really no excuse for not including it in this system.

It's 76475 (244 pieces) that's likely the AC, not 76477 (480 pieces would be way too much). This also makes it clear to me that we won't get Divination as its own set (or any class really) in 2026, leading me to believe like I've said above that "Dobby the Free Elf" could be a classrom replacement.
76477 might still be a Hogwarts Castle module of some kind: We likely don't have advance information because it's partly exclusive, which would fit in with a more "stand-alone" partly exclusive Hogwarts Castle module like the Flying Lesson. (Though the new system is so wasteful on parts that 480 pieces won't amount to much.) Or it could be yet another buildable partly exclusive thing like the Thestral Family.

So only 1-2 sets that will include a patronus, that is less than I hoped. Hopelessly they will keep the collecting of them going over several years so we can get more animals 

[BrickMatit]

Interestin enough, admitting the names of the sets are not so different from the real ones, is that East Wing not necessarily contain the Viaduct Entrance section. In Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set we have two different bags and writings for these sections: for Viadcut Entrance we can read "The girl's lavatories are located in this part of the castle. Maybe Moaning Myrtle will stop by as you build. Just watch out for trolls" while for East Wing - all the section behind the Viaduct Entrance (Central Tower, Library, Long Gallery, Bell Towers) we can read "No matter what a Hogwarts student's favourite subjects are, they will likely spend a great deal of their time in the East Wing, where many of the classrooms are located".

I'm very curious to see what this set will contain.

Knockturn Alley and the big Hogwarts expansion should both include a patronus, and if Dobby is indeed a buildable figure, I expect one of the two unknown sets to be a playset. Maybe even both, since we also have the House Symbol and whatever the plant set is as buildable objects / creatures to fulfill the quota Moreover, the D2C set surely features a patronus too since the Hogwarts Icons set also tied into the anniversary.

Thus I’m leaning towards at least 3 or 4 patroni this summer ^^

[VinnieCannoli]

Hagrid’s bike is definitely in my list of "toys of 2026". It's one of the best sets Lego made in years. Not even kidding. It's iconic it's cheap and it's an army builder.

HP keeps giving. (the only thing that i didn't like that we won't be getting any new monster mold with the castle part this year)

[akaseim]

Is the Library in the East Wing? I would love the Lobrary with Harry in a transparent body (only a visible head) :-D I don't know if there is any tranparent body but it would be great for an invisible cloak, right?

Maybe, but then the name would be near identical to 76389 (which was the same as 4730). The first modular system didn't have the Chamber either (it did have a Basilisk but with Quirrell) so while it seems straightforward there are no guarantees we actually get a Chamber of Secrets.

[sebastian666]

At 2,164 pieces the so-called “Hogwarts East Wing” will be the largest of all the new Hogwarts modular expansions to date. I think the name most likely refers to a combination of the Viaduct Entrance and the Long Gallery (aka the Library Annex in Hogwarts Legacy) and I could easily see it featuring the Library, Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom, the Slytherin common room, and the Chamber of Secrets.

I also think the 379 piece count of “Dobby the Free Elf” is pretty telling. That’s almost exactly the same number of pieces as the (now retiring / sold out) “Potions Class” and I could see LEGO giving us another modular room like that to swap out under the Great Hall.

This could be far fetched, but how good would it be to get the Hogwarts Kitchen scene where a now free Dobby has been hired to work as a salaried employee. It would be the perfect thing to swap out under the Great Hall now that the Potions Class is no more.
