Wonder if we'll get any of those new skirt pieces in Hogsmeade seeing as they all go to the same tailors? 

I‘m pretty sure we‘ll see the new skirt piece in plenty of sets since they certainly didn‘t develop it with a random background hobbit in mind

They do these weird things though don't they. Create this new mould we all think is going to be used elsewhere and is perfect for another character etc and then it never sees the light of day again.  I'd be surprised if we don't see it again though.

Jonkling aside, it is kinda funny that HP and LOTR share quite a few head and torso prints. At least the reuses all fit!

Maybe we will see the Gandalf face used for Aberforth?

This one‘s very likely since they just brought back his faceprint for the Shire set

I like your list! Seems very realistic to me. Katie would be a nice new character to have. Maybe with an alternate faceprint for the scene where she gets cursed?

Yeah that could be cool. You could also include a printed tile piece to represent the necklace. 

Not a minifigure but the Hogs Head could include the portrait of Ariana Dumbledore which would be pretty cool.

Doubtful. They already created one for him in 2023, so they can still reuse that one

We have leaks of new minifigures, most noticeable a Professor Kettleburn and Harry Potter with The Philosopher’s Stone (Philosopher Stone Trials???)

May I ask where I can find them?

[Virginia_Bricks]

Reddit has them. I think this confirms the Main Tower set is PS based.

[Clone OPatra]

The new mandrake is cool. Everything else so far is 

Can't be long until the full set images leak given these images must come from those and aren't factory leaks.

What set features Harry and Ron in their Hogwarts Express clothes from Sorcerer's Stone?

I'm glad we're finally getting Nearly Headless Neck with a collar.

Does this mean the Grand Staircase Tower will feature all the trials/challenges?

The set that features the Ron and Harry are from the Hogwarts Express Book Nook.

The Grand Staircase Tower will include at the very least the challenges in some form, may not be all of them but maybe a couple of them. The last time we got all the challenges in one Hogwarts system was the original 2001/2002 castle. Given how the 2018 grey roof Great Hall included just the Mirror of Erised and the 2021 green roof Fluffy’s Encounter included just the trapdoor and devil’s snare, without touching The Room of Winged Keys or Wizards Chess that’s actually inside the castle, I’m guessing we will only get a couple of them. And considering there will more than likely be a Dumbledore’s Office and Staircase of some sort, I don’t think there will be room for all of them, though I hope I’m proven wrong cause having all of them would actually make me pickup this new castle line. So I’m guessing Mirror of Erised at the very least since Harry has the Stone, maybe Room of Winged Keys because Hermoine has a key, and the Chess Game.

For those interested, the entire list of fig leaks is:

- Mandrake (Herbology Class)

- Harry and Ron in first year Hogwarts Express clothes (booknook?)

- Nearly Headless Nick (presumably Main Tower)

- Professor Kettleburn (?)

- Harry (with Stone), Hermione (with golden key), and Ron all in first year challenges clothes plus Hedwig flying over them (presumably Main Tower) (Hermione is wearing a green or teal jacket which I'm not sure about, but the shirt underneath seems to fit and the key's a dead giveaway)

 

If the Tower is based on PoS we should also get Quirrell. Furthermore this means we likely won't get the Slytherin Common Room or any part of the Chamber of Secrets with it.

If they're using an entire flagship set slot for basically just stairs, the Gryffindor Common Room, and the challenges (likely including Fluffy) from PoS, again this will please completionists but it leaves so many important locations still to be covered.

I didn't know about the Book Nook.

I was confused as to why the challenges would be included in the Staircase set but I guess Fluffy was located in the staircase's third floor. It also makes sense that the previous year's Great Hall would include the troll so this year's main Hogwarts set would include Fluffy. If they're including Fluffy, they have to include the devil's snare room underneath the trap door. And as you pointed out, the inclusion of the key and Sorcerer's stone means the room of winged keys and the final chamber with Quirrell would be included too. The chess room will likely be heavily downsized if it's included.

The Gryffindor common room will obviously be included, especially with Nearly Headless Neck here. Just like the Fat Friar in the Great Hall set with the Hufflepuff common room. I have no idea how they'll be able to fit the Gryffindor common room and all the aforementioned challenge rooms while still including Dumbledore's office, especially if this is based on the first movie instead of the second one. Wonder if they might skip Dumbledore's office.

Yeah, I'm not sure how that would work either. I'd imagine the tower to fit no more than two small modules (or a single large module) next to each other and to have no more than four of five storeys at the most. We'd already need: Gryffindor Common Room (one large module and that's if they forego the dorms), Fluffy Encounter (one large module to fit Fluffy), Devil's Snare, Mirror, Chess, Potions challenges (could probably all be done with a small module each if necessary), Winged Keys (a small module at a pinch though a larger one would be better), and that's already five storeys without even budgeting any room for stairs! I could possibly seem the leaving off the Potions Challenge and doing the Winged Keys instead which would free up one storey but I don't know.

Likely additional figures in this case would be: chess figure(s), new Gryffindor students for the Common Room, Fluffy of course, Quirrell, probably McGonagall, possibly Neville. Not sure how Kettleburn fits in here but he pretty much has to come with this set since I don't see him coming with any of the others either. He'd sort of fit with the Monster Book but not really since by the time that was mentioned, Hagrid had taken over his teaching post.

Not to mention Dumbledore's office would also need a staircase leading up to it, although the last set with his office skipped that. If they can't do it justice in this set with the full revolving staircase, I'd rather they just skip it for now.

I'm also assuming they'll skip the Gryffindor dorms. I don't know if they'd include the potions challenge since that was in the books only.

So far, the main Hogwarts castle sets tend to always include some of the more obscure professors so Kettleburn is probably in the Staircase set. And we know it's themed to Sorcerer's Stone so that fits Kettleburn. I really hope one day a future Hogwarts set will feature Professor Binns, since he at least appeared in Hogwarts Legacy.

Yes, that's why I said he'd probably come with this set. But I don't see any way he'll fit - there won't be his office or any magical creatures for him to care for (except for Fluffy, probably, and he had nothing to do with that). Sinistra was pretty random in the 2021 Chamber of Secrets but at least they included her tower. It looks to me to be just another choice by LEGO that screams "You want minifigs of all the characters? You have to buy our most expensive sets, then!"

Pretty bummed that the Main Tower is also PS-themed, but at least we‘re getting (some of) the missing challenges!  The new Nick is an improvement and Prof Kettleburn is an interesting inclusion. Pretty funny we’re at a point where they have to resort to characters that were never even in the movies  Next, they‘ll have to make up characters themselves!

Huh, that could be him! Maybe the same way Sinistra and Vector were initially random extras before being reinterpreted as these characters later on ^^

[BacktoBricks]

I'm liking Nick's new look. He's looking very dapper with that slicked back hair and ruff.

The tower being PS is unexpected. If it means we are really fleshing out all locations and going through the films sequentially with larger sections then not only could this system be sticking around for a while, which I think it really needs to and stop all the rebooting, but we may actually get some better minifigures for later films in the end. 

Do we think Fluffy will be in the Main Tower or could that be the exclusive retail set? Having a large creature in a main set like last year's Troll in the Great Hall makes sense, but as much as I don't subscribe to price per piece exactly the $69.99 for 548 pieces might suggest some larger elements like Fluffy heads.

The free-for-all section of the usual place also has 76458 as a retail exclusive (not D2C) with a list price of USD 70 and a piece count of only 548. That doesn't imply buildable crap creature/object IMO, as in that case the price would probably be less than .10 per piece. Might be another part of Hogwarts Castle?

A buildable figure would have been a strange choice for an exclusive set anyways, however I would think it isn´t part of Hogwarts (at least the castle itself) but rather something either from the grounds (whomping willow for instance) or located elsewhere.

Huh. The DA had something around 5.500 pieces for four "buildings" (actually mostly two buildings per plate), so around 1.400 pieces per plate.

Hogsmeade village IMO should at the very least include the Three Broomsticks, Honeydukes, the Shrieking Shack, and probably the Station, the Hog's Head, and Zonko's as well. But there's no way they manage that at DA size with this piece count.

Might as well be they plan to make another Hogsmeade Set in the future, which features other buildings. Also, we can´t be sure if they will be Modular like the DA buildings, which would need more pieces and could feature less buildings like if they would make them more like the old Hogsmeade set.

I wouldn´t call it unexpected, I mean we´ve speculated about Fluffy or the challanges included before.

I would be surprised if he isn´t. I´ve said it somewhere before in this thread, that I could see them doing Fluffy with a trap door, the plants underneath and the key challange too, since those don´t need that much space IMO, though of course if you want to have space for all three main characters to play there, you already need more. Not sure if they will include the chess challange, since that one would need the most space IMO.

As for Dumbledores Office, I just don´t see them not including it, but who knows.

Isn't similar to Flying Lesson set? $69.99 for 548 is 0.122 ratio; $79.99 for 651 pieces is 0,127.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Can someone identify what pieces they used to represent the PS? Looks like two 1x1 plates or a 1x1 plate + 1x1 tile to me  I still think they should recolour the gold nugget piece!

Didn't they already do this with the Hogwarts student in a wheelchair (from Madam Malkin's) and the Owl Post employee (from WWW)? There was also an unnamed passenger on the Knight Bus.

If the Main Tower is PS-themed that means we'd have had flagship sets for PS twice in a row. I'm pretty sure this won't set a precedent where we have to go through all seven years at that rate, though, since a) we'd be looking at fourteen years then and b) as has been pointed out before, the earlier books and especially PS are much Hogwarts-heavier than the latter ones in terms of introducing locations and the like. I could see next year's flagship set being the Chamber of Secrets (including the Slytherin Common Room, Myrtle's bathroom, and/or Lockhart's office and class). PoA has Trelawney's class, Lupin's class, Sirius Black's rescue, and the Hospital Wing. GoF has the Prefects' bathroom and Moody's class (but how many DADA rooms do we need?) with most of the relevant action taking place outside. OotP has Umbridge's class and office and that swamp corridor, HP has Slughorn's class (but we already have a Potions class) and of course the Astronomy Tower, DH has the Room of Requirement and Snape's office as well as the battle locations.

Allegedly the new Hogsmeade set will fit in with the D2C DA.

As I've said before, I'm sure they're not currently planning an expansion for the yet-to-be-released Hogsmeade set. And I wouldn't expect us to get one, period. The D2C DA seems to have been a huge success but even so it took us several years until they made Gringotts, which is extremely iconic in its own right, and yet I don't feel Gringotts has created anywhere near the buzz of the original D2C DA (despite people having been clamoring for it for years). Nothing in Hogsmeade is anywhere near as iconic as Gringotts in terms of plot-relevance or architecture. The overall quaint village vibe coupled with its theme park popularity has apparently been enough to get us one D2C but I really cannot see the designers deliberately holding something back (like they allegedly did with Gringotts) or people clamoring for a D2C Shrieking Shack they way the did with Gringotts (and again I'm not sure if even Gringotts has hit its sales targets).

For those wondering about space, I feel like this confirms the Main Tower set will include both the Graind Staircasw Tower and the tower next to it. Should work with the price range and then it gives you enough space for: Staircase, Gryffindor Common Room, Headmasters Office, Fluffy Encounter and then 3 trials in the dungeon (keys, chess, and mirror).

It just doesn’t seem likely now the set will only be the staircase tower
