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

I agree.

I was surprised by the PS leaks... I thought we would have seen a CoS set. It would be a whole coherent set, from Dumbledore's Office to the Chamber in the dungeon. In any case I can't wait having some more info about the sets.

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!

Yes it looks similar to the way they made the holocrons in the Star Wars sets.

I’m also surprised it’s a PS based set. Makes me wonder what section of Hogwarts they’ll use for a COS set.

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.

Are we expecting a re-use of the heads from before with a brick built body or an all-new mould like the Rancor or Dewback etc ?

I'm expecting something brickbuilt with molded heads. I think it kind of is more in the theme of Lego and the last one looked pretty good I think apart from them not recoluring the grey joints. That being said, I'm not opposed to a new mold either. I know they gave us the troll in The Great Hall, but I'm not sure Lego would spend the budget a new Fluffy mold when the heads are available. They could even go all brickbuilt like Wolf Jacob in the Twilight set and ditch the unique molds entirely.

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.

Yes, I said myself I thought Fluffy was likely to come with some castle set, but I think we mostly thought this section would include Dumbledore's Office and be COS themed, or maybe GOF or OOTP after that. Then again maybe Dumbledore's Office will still be included, and hopefully include Fawkes, and it will include a Dumbledore that could be seen as from either PS or COS unless maybe you are a collector or movie fan looking very hard as his outfits are all fairly similar. Or maybe Fawkes will be left for the COS set that must be inevitable. Either way, I'm really excited to see what we're getting. It almost feels like 2018 again.

This is what I’m expecting, with Griffindor common room and Fluffy being inside the smaller tower (Ravenclaw in Hogwarts Legacy), and an overall footprint similar to the Great Hall set. 
it would also make sense for stability, a very tall heavy tower on its own would be more prone to toppling over especially when sliding modular rooms in and out the back is a play feature.

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.

I don't think they will do two main sets per movie, but they seem to be covering PS quite thoroughly almost like they are systematically working through before moving on. The Flying Lesson set being released as a standalone has felt a bit weird, but if it joins to the latest castle sets and they include the end challenges, then altogether with The Great Hall and classroom sets, PS is quite well covered. They have covered snippets of COS too with the Duelling Club and the upcoming Herbology, but they integrate quite nicely into these sets without much effort I think. The only outlier is the Owlery, but maybe that was an easy standalone set to work in at the start as it does standalone and not attach to the castle so it didn't need other sets to be released first to attach it to.

I can see next year providing the COS, then the year after that a POA clocktower and then an Astronomy Tower could be likely after that. And whilst the end movies may not get a main section entirely each, it feels like they are trying to cover the movies well in terms of locations so I'm hoping things like Umbridge's Office won't get missed this time.

Or maybe they really do just love the first movies and think they are connected with the castle more, but the recent Malfoy Manor set for instance gives me hope that the designers are thinking in terms of all the movies.

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

Ah, ok, on reddit there was no mention aside from the Piece count, release date and that it is supposed to be Hogsmeade

34 minutes ago, brickbride said:

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).

Well, who knows, but if you are right and the buildings are indeed modular Style, they will for sure not be able to include all the most famous locations, which would be:

• Zonko´s
• Hog´s Head
• Three Broomsticks
• Honeydukes
• Shrieking Shak

With the 3228 Pieces I am wondering if we get only three, or actually four of those included in the Set. I would say Zonko´s, The three Broomsticks and Honeydukes are granted.

I still don´t see a reason why they should skip the plants trial, as that one should be quite easy to include aswell. The chess one take up way more space, even if they use 1x1 plates for the field. If they include that, I am curious how they will build the figures.

Weirdly enough, the leaks made me way more excited for the wave than I thought I‘d be, despite the Main Tower being PS-based   Never thought we’d ever see a Kettleburn minifig!

Exactly, although considering a teacher thought to be Kettleburn is sitting next to Sinistra at the Great Hall teachers' table in PS, I'm not sure why we discounted him really when they have included one background teacher in the last couple of main sets.  I mean, granted, they haven't gone all in and given him a hat / hair piece which is a shame, but at the same time the fact that we are getting to this level of completionism is fun.

The more I think about it the biggest disappointment of it being PS themed is the likely another Quirrell minifigure. It is not like they are making it easier to get him in a $250 set versus a $200 set for kids.

I now find it hard we get Mad-Eye, Lupin, and Umbridge next year. So unless the wave goes 4 years, you won’t have the core professors but you will have plenty of side professors. 

[BacktoBricks]

It does seem odd that Quirrell is in The Great Hall set now. Sure the troll is in it, but he didn't have to be in there to do the whole 'troll in the dungeon' speech as Harry and Ron fighting the troll in the bathroom could be seen as the play intention for the troll minifigure. Leaving Quirrell out of a set with the Final Challenge in would seem more nonsensical though so it seems we may be getting a repeat. Helps them with budget I suppose.

Indeed. Quirrell is a weird character to include in two flagship sets within the same castle system, but they kinda shot themselves in the foot 

Now I just hope we‘ll get some castle sections based on the other movies later on. Pretty silly that all the expansions with outer walls except for the owlery are based on PS, while CoS at least gets some interior stuff. In terms of castle expansions, not even PoA has gotten any love recently 

[Jaromir]

Is the whole Hogwarts castle will be based on the PS book?

Not really, but it's true that untill now a very big part of the castle is based on PS.

Dueling Club and likely Herbology Class are from CoS; Owlery is from GoF.

The Great Hall doesn't have the external PS design. And the Owlery being detached is also from the later movies.

It seems Lego designers believe the later movies castle silhouette is more iconic, but the interiors are better from the earlier movies (and I agree with them).

Never been at Warner Bros London studio, but isn't the Hogwarts model inside Art Department - Warner Bros. Studio Tour London one of the most recent version of it? I would say HPB, cause in DH the viaduct and main courtyard are very different.

Hogwarts Legacy is the most recent version, but the only major difference between that and what you linked is the greenhouses.

I’m initially disappointed we’re likely getting another PS flagship set. In my mind I hoped for any of the other movies, but deep down I’m not surprised this is what they chose.

All that to say- it appears that we have new unique variants, and we’re covering scenes that haven’t been done since  2001/2002. + a v nice nearly headless Nick and a unique professor. So honestly, I’m now pretty excited if they are going to cover all of the challenges + have the smaller castle part attached beside the tower with this as well. 

Only thing that isn’t a thrill was mentioned above- we’re probably getting another professor Quirrell. Probably a Dumbledore too. Then some generic Hogwarts students. Not too many opportunities to shock us with the figures. If they are going to do the Gryffindor homeroom, maybe we’ll get prefect Percy Weasley. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Theoretically, it could still be possible that Kettleburn comes in the Monster Book set and that the trio + Nick appear in a challenges-themed retail exclusive set. However, this is supremely unlikely since it‘s hard to do those scenes justice in a $70 set and Nick wouldn‘t fit in at all

I can see why they picked PS again, but it still feels somewhat unfair to focus so heavily on that one movie in the new castle system  Fingers crossed the retail exclusive is based on the later movies!

Nick could be in the Tower even if the trio are not. Not counting on it but possible.

Either way, I’d bet good money when the set interiors leak a lot of people will be complaining here the interiors are lacking. Similar to the Great Hall and Flying Lesson. So in a $70 standalone they might actually please more people.

Hospital Wing. Sirius Black's Rescue. Just saying.

The new Great Hall also features a secret entrance which might be supposed to symbolize the one from PoA (which should not start there but eh, details).

Those are a few years old now and from the previous modular castle. It'll be interesting to see if the Clock Tower does get redone to be a part of this new castle.

The emphasis on the common rooms and house ghosts makes me hope that we'll get a Ravenclaw common room sooner rather than later. And a Grey Lady minifigure based on her design from the first two movies where she has a more ornate gown. I enjoyed the Kelly Macdonald portrayal from Deathly Hallows but her outfit was very simplified and made for a boring minifigure.

I'm assuming the flagship Hogwarts set for 2026 will be Chamber of Secrets themed and feature the Slytherin common room and Bloody Baron. Could they possibly be waiting to include Dumbledore's office then?

[BrickMatit]

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.

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

We‘ve had multiple sets before that were based on more than one movie, so they can easily do that here again 

[Jaromir]

Well, the official reveal should be around the corner, since it is almost April and sets are up to be released on the 1st of June. I am glad that they are including more characters which have never appeared in the movies, but were mentioned in the books. Having more teachers and students will put more life in the Hogwarts Castle.

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