Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[brickbride]

The free-for-all section of the usual place has a bunch of minifig factory leaks. On the very right of the first picture is a fig with no head or hair, dark bluish gray midi legs, and a torso with a dark and light bluish gray checkered jacket, light bluish gray belt over it, and blue-white-gray striped scarf. The arms are dark bluish gray with light bluish gray hands (presumably gloves). This could be a Ravenclaw student in winter wear for the Hogsmeade set, and from the shape I'd say it's a girl, but I can't find any clear picture matches from the movies. Thoughts?

If it's indeed from the set then this all but confirms the winter theme. Which was kind of expected with Hogsmeade anyway but also kills a significant part of my interest (I don't like winter kitsch) and means it probably won't go that well with the D2C Diagon Alley.

EDIT: Found her! I did some more digging and I think it's Hermione during the Hogsmeade visit in HBP! Though she's wearing blue jeans and boots but the jacket, gloves, and scarf look close enough. If I'm right this would point to the set being HBP-themed.

I looked through it myself aswell, but was confused by the scarf that was very colorfull, but I think you're right. Fits with our earlier thought about Katie Bell in the recent Diagon Alley shops, where she is wearing her outfit from the Halfblood Prince scene aswell.

[brickbride]

Yeah, it's not a great likeness. The jacket needs some brown or black, and arm printing, and the scarf needs some dark green IMO. But at the same time it's too close to be a coincidence, you know what I mean? It looks like a lackluster attempt to recreate Hermione's outfit in the scene, so I'm assuming that's what it is.

How can I find “the usual place”?

It could also be a hybrid and feature characters (and versions) from multiple movies like DA, the HE, Gringotts, and the Burrow before it

Another clue is the fact Slughorn’s faceprint was brought back for the Shire earlier this year ^^

As for the winter theme, that’s kinda inevitable as most of the scenes that take place there are set during the winter!

There's a newer subreddit where everyone can post rumours (hence "free-for-all").

When I first saw that leak I didn't even think HP given it was more focused around the upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory set, but you are definitely right especially with the mid legs. I'm fine with no arm printing here because I'm guessing we are getting a new dual molded hair piece for Hermione.

So that all but confirms at least the trio from HBP, Slughorn, and Katie Bell. Do we get a second Leanne so soon?

Well I'm expecting at least the Three Broomsticks to be HBP-themed.

I'm not so sure the legs truly belong with Hermione. Like I said she's wearing blue jeans and boots, so dark blue legs or possibly dual-moulded ones (but I doubt that) would make more sense. If those are indeed her legs the outfit looks even less movie-accurate.

I'm expecting another Leanne, yes, and obviously Madam Rosmerta. Draco from HBP also seems likely to me.

I normally don't even care about arm printing on figs. But this looks very odd to me, less like a winter coat and more like she's wearing a sleeveless vest belted over a shirt of a different colour. That's why I said it needed arm printing.

I hope they aren't the legs, because every other HBP minifigure has the trio with normal sized legs. In fact they change from midi legs to normal for OOTP so they're is absolutely no reason for midi legs here. Dual molded legs would be great, but otherwise standard sized legs is the minimum for this outfit. Then again, this is Lego ...

Can't wait to see some more leaks. Hopefully something soon!

Interestingly the DH one has Harry, Hagrid and the sidecar on it. In some time we will be able to verify how similar it is to the next January set

Wicked sets have leaked. They're licensed, well under or around .10 per piece, and even include a brand new lion mould! Just to keep in mind when judging HP's recent prices.

One of them is 11ct pp costs 25€ an has only two minidolls - which just shows that ppp doesn´t really is a measure especially not on its own.

I've just realized (not for the first time) that I'm in the minority here. If LEGO happen to read our expectations they'll do pretty much the opposite from what I want, i.e. more Most Expensive Hogwarts Ever EUR 200+ "playsets" and classrooms designed for the slide-out system.

I think you should hope for sets for the new series. If they make sets for the show, I don´t see them doing a big hogwarts out of several sets like they do with the films, but rather smaller sets depicting scenes.

I'd love to see some sales figures for the new modular system - obviously earnings will be high at those prices (since any discounts are given by the resellers, not LEGO itself) but does the number of sets sold live up to expectations? @Gorilla94'Cause that will also determine how long the system sticks around. If it doesn't hit its sales targets by now, I doubt they'll really go for the complete silhouette no matter what their marketing claims are.

I don´t think we will get more sets just because the wave is doing well, IMO it is already planned through and considering that next year is likely the last one for this system, they are very likely already working on the next one.

We don't know if next year is the last one for sure. I just said that if the system isn't doing well by now, already-planned sets might get canceled and we may not get the full silhouette. If it is doing well they'll likely see it through to the (planned) end - whenever that might be.

Called it that the dragon wouldn't look good! And neither does the Thestral for that matter. Or Fleur! The rest are okay I guess. But honestly they should have foregone the animals and gone with Fake!Moody or even Baby!Voldie for the fifth one.

I like the accessories for the champions, though. (Not Luna's apple. WTF?) Have we seen that before with Brickheadz?

And does the Thestral have glow in the dark eyes?

Yeah, that is why I wrote next year is likely the last one, which based on past waves and what we got so far, already know will get next year, and what would be left for the summer wave, I think it isn´t unlikely that they finish it then. Of course that will never be a complete Hogwarts, but I don´t think this would be something we will ever get in playscale honestly.

However, there is no indication that this wave seems to not sell well, rather the opossite, even despite the price surely is to high for many.

I agree that the horntail is a strange choice and I don´t really like the result, though I don´t care much for Brickheadz anyways, so those who do might think different about it. The Thestral however looks good IMO. Accessoires for Brickheadz aren´t uncommon and I honestly don´t see the issue with Lunas apple - I mean, sure they eat meat normally, but we already had the apple in the playset, so it shouldn´t be that surprising now.

In the playset Harry (who didn't know about Thestrals) was trying to feed them an apple and Luna (who did know) had a piece of meat. So no, Luna with an apple makes no sense IMO. She's a Ravenclaw and the resident expert on strange creatures.

The high prices alone mean that the target group for this system has to be smaller than for previous Hogwarts systems. I'm also not sure just how relevant HP is for kids of ages 10+ currently - this might change with the new series, but just yesterday I saw that a nearby store sold off all its Schleich HP collectible figures at a huge discount so clearly they were not doing so well. And Amazon Germany has been selling the Main Tower at a pretty large discount recently, too, even though that set has only just come out, which to me indicates that maybe it's not exactly flying off the shelves otherwise.

The halloween ghost one from 2019 featured a spider and a bat, but they were more part of the scenery that came with the set. Other than that, it is indeed the first animal accessory! Kinda funny looking in contrast  The Hungarian Horntail also looks hilarious!

I think it’s the only set scheduled for September that hasn’t been revealed or leaked yet, besides the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory Ideas set, that is. I’m really curious to see what it looks like!

Nice to see the baby dragon mould in another set, pleasantly surprised. 

[Virginia_Bricks]

At this rate Hogsmeade might leak with the official reveal. I was looking back and we even had a name reveal on the GWP back in early summer for Back to Hogwarts.

The Enterprise and Black Pearl leaks do make me worried about the mini-fig count. I was hoping for 12+ but those are 8 and 9 and similar prices and price to piece count ratios.

[Virginia_Bricks]

Mini-fig list leaked. No Leanne but Aberforth.

Now possibly $430 in the US

[karrit]

Aghhhh! I just realized that I'm going to be in a remote location with limited to no internet access on release day.
