Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

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

Mini-fig list leaked. No Leanne but Aberforth.

List includes the Trio (presumably from HBP), Draco (I'd guess from HBP as well), Katie Bell, Slughorn, Madam Rosmerta (all presumably from HBP as well).

Also Cornelius Fudge, Mrs Flume (but not Mr Flume like in the Hogsmeade Visit set), McGonagall, Aberforth (from the AC?), and a "Carriage Driver".

The leak also still claims that the set is "similar to Diagon Alley". I'd say we definitely get the Three Broomsticks, Honeydukes, a carriage, and possibly - but not necessarily - the Hog's Head.

Now possibly $430 in the US

This might be just a guess though. The Black Pearl had been reputed to be USD 330, now there are claims that the US price has changed to USD 380. Clay_Bricks, who moderates the subreddit, has said in a comment that prices should be given as a range in the future which might be what we see here.

As probably to be expected, Hogsmeade would have scenes from different movies: Prisoner of Azkaban (Fudge, Mrs. Flume, McGonagall, Carriage Driver, Rosmerta), Order of Phoenix or Deathly Hallows (Aberforth), Half Blood Prince (Katie Bell, Slughorn, Draco). Plus Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Minifig list is apparently: 

1. Harry Potter 2. Ron Weasley 3. Hermione Granger 4. Draco Malfoy 5. Katie Bell 6. Professor McGonagall 7. Cornelius Fudge 8. Aberforth Dumbledore 9. Horace Slughorn 10. Madam Rosmerta 11. Mrs. Flume 12. Carriage Driver

Rosmerta, Aberforth, and Mrs. Flume suggest that we’ll be seeing at least the Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head, and Honeydukes, and the Carriage Driver probably means a horse and carriage to be driven. It also looks like there will be scenes covered from both Prisoner of Azkaban and Half-Blood Prince. Fingers crossed we might see Zonko’s as well. 

[brickbride]

@BrickMatitAberforth is a total outlier, though. And he runs the pub which LEGO have previously shied away from depicting. Can you really depict a scene from a movie with just one person? They might just stick his fig from the AC in here because, well, they already have it.

The Trio are also very clearly from HBP if the Hermione minifig leak is any indication which limits which scenes you can depict from other movies.

I'm wondering if we get any smaller shops like Zonko's. There's no indication that we might get any additional shopkeepers or random customers but then again I don't think every single shop in the D2C DA had a shopkeeper.

I was wondering about this.. The thestral carriages do not have a driver right, but is there a horse one in the movies? Do anyone have a picture? I could mean a new horse print if we are lucky

Do anyone think there will be any goats in the set?

Three Broomsticks isn't an inn or pub too? And I remember the too dark scene argumentation to justify avoiding some scenes, but then we had Dobby, Bellatrix and a knife in Malfoy Manor  so I wouldn't rule out Hog's Head from the set.

Wasn't it presented as a Charlie and Chocolate Fabric leak? The Half Blood Prince scene in Hogsmeade is snowy and not so clear, but for me the leaked image isn't Hermione coat... but I'm also colour blind

Half of them hadn't: Scribulus, Flourish and Blotts and Quality Quidditch Supplies.

You can see the horse here. In my opinion, probably LEGO will use an existing horse, like the Dark Orange one.

You are probably right, I saw the longer movie clip now and there is a flying owl in the start that looks like the one from the burrow at first glance so maybe they will reuse that one here.
There is even a highland cattle in the clip, but small chance we will get that

I've been informed the carriage driver may actually be a Zonko's employee. Not sure of their name if they have one. 

There is still a carriage, and I do believe the horse to be a new print, but I'd wait for corroboration. 

Update: Nevermind, sounds like its the Beauxbaton horse print

Any other animals? should be some owls in the owl post at least

If it’s the white horse they might be taking a little inspiration from the scene in Sorcerer’s Stone where the students leave for the holidays on sleds pulled by horses that color. 
 

Also excited to learn that in addition to the three establishments with known proprietors on the minifig list there with be Zonko’s, Dervish and Bangs, and the Owl Post office. Zonko’s especially is good news - hopefully we’ll see the fanged frisbee print come back there. Hopefully we’ll also have at least on owl other than Hedwig to go in the post office too. 
 

I do hope the carriage driver is a carriage driver and not a Zonko’s employee though. It would be a shame for Hogwarts Mystery to create the colorful character of Bilton Blimes only for the Lego version to fig barf something that could be mistaken for a carriage driver to replace him.

I've said before that LEGO apparently don't believe butterbeer to be alcoholic. So I guess they treat it more like a coffeeshop or juice bar.

A certain Discord server ^^

The buildings are said to be spread across multiple 16x32 baseplates:

• Owl post, Dervish & Banges, Honeydukes
• Three Broomsticks
• Hog’s Head Inn, Zonko‘s 

Granted, they don‘t say explicitly that there are 3 baseplates, but it‘s heavily implied with this grouping presented above

I really hope it’s not just base plates like DA, but something a little more creative. While I love that set, it seems a little stale to repeat its style with just new colors and new interiors.

I’ve been hoping for something similar to the Italian Riveria layout

Yeah, not gonna happen, I‘m afraid  A set in the style of DA was to be expected, and this just confirms it ^^

Shame though because most scenes in Hogsmeade have significant undulation which can't be replicated easily with just base plate foundations.

Also with only 3 base plates, you can't do an alley like DA was but maybe you just surround them like a town square with the carriage in the middle.

Can’t wait for the first pictures of the new Hogsmeade :) Although rumoured price (380-430) has me worried… Even 380€ seems very steep for 3200 pieces, considering Gringotts has 4800 pieces for 430€, and DA with 5,500+ for 450€

Because butterbeer isn’t alcoholic – it’s like root beer or ginger ale, and the only evidence we have otherwise is Winky getting drunk off it in the books – which likely just means that house elves can get intoxicated on an ingredient that has no effect on humans. 
 

That said, The Three Broomsticks does offer a variety of alcoholic beverages, and the actual reason that Lego is willing to do it and the Hog’s Head is because they fall under the ‘fantasy and historical’ exception that also applies to weapons. Case in point, the Medieval Town Square includes an inn that  has a keg of something definitely alcoholic in the ground floor dining area, but that’s okay because it’s obviously in a historical setting.

Its mildly alcoholic, but house elves are highly sensitive.

But butter beer can look like pumpkin juice too. Fire whisky though likely will never be touched.

Butterbeer in the books is alcoholic. Note that when Winky gets drunk off it, Ron is only surprised because the stuff normally isn't that strong (for humans) - but he doesn't deny the fact that it is alcoholic.

Butterbeer in the theme park, though, isn't alcoholic.

I really don't think it's that clear-cut. Malfoy Manor, for example, has a cellar apparently filled with water barrels (in LEGO, the colour trans-light blue is strongly associated with water) when a wine cellar would make a deal more sense. Apparently being a family of Death Eaters, hosting Voldemort, illegally keeping prisoners, and being accessories to torture and murder are all okay for a children's set but consuming alcohol is not.

August 12th is the rumoured date  I kinda hope it doesn‘t get leaked beforehand. Would be awesome to immediately see high-res pictures rather than having to analyse potato quality snapshots.

…I‘m sure I just jinxed it tho

Hogsmeade Looks great, Its an upgraded version of the previous version with all the extra shops. It's in the same style as Diagon Alley, interiors look a bit skinnier. Half blood prince scene and prisoner of Azkaban too, and Aberforth from last movies. 12 mini figures. Owl post, Dervish and Banges and Honeydukes on one plate. Three broomsticks on another and the third has Zonkos, probably hogs head as they have Aberforth Dumbledore in it with Harry, Ron and Hermoine upstairs creating the scene from the last movie. And a small Scribbulus shop.
