Does anyone know if 76452 Quality Quidditch Supplies & Ice Cream Parlour is a LEGO exclusive or whether it will be with other retailers anytime soon? The previous two segments of Diagon Alley were are Kmart in Australia, much cheaper, but can't seem to find this one anywhere else! Anyone in the know?

It's being sold by Smyths here in Ireland and also in the UK. I couldn't tell you about Australia but usually if it's not a Lego exclusive in one region, it's the same everywhere.

From an AFOL perspective for sure. As a kid I would have adored the cute builds. The potions would have offered a lot of play value to me playing with friends.

Fair point.

One thought I had: Pretty much everybody expects the next big castle expansion to be the chamber of secrets with the basilisk (the new big creature after Fluffy and the troll), the slytherin Common room (After Gryffindor and Hufflepuff) and with the bloody baron as the new house ghost after Nick and the fat Friar.

If Lego makes a last big expansion with Ravenclaw - what could be the new big creature? What could be the new teachers in both expansions?

Hopes for, not expects. I could easily see Lego go with Moaning Mrytle as the ghost instead of the Baron (I hope for both).

And to disappoint people further, if they include a fourth big fig I would guess Buckbeak.

What an idea:iamded_lol:: instead of the Astronomy Tower, LEGO could go for the DADA Tower plus the Dark Tower with Sirius and Buckbeak :oh:.

What are the missing big creatures until now in this reboot of the theme? Buckbeak, but I don't know if it counts as big; Hungarian Horntail, but he better matches with a ground set with the First Challenge; Grawp, but he appeares only in the Forbidden Forest; Giants, but I don't really remember how they appear at the Battle of Hogwarts adn if they could match well with a castle expansion like Astronomy Tower - where I think it will likely  be put Ravenclaw Common Room. So I think there could also not be a big creature in the set.

As for the minor teachers, the only missing ones I suppose are Bathsheda Babbling and Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank. And, of course, Carrows.

I could see that and it might work, the two towers are next to each other in the PoA version of the castle, and could share a rocky base with dungeons. 
Only thing is the figures and Buckbeak are an overlap with the Sirius Reacue set from a little while ago. 
 

Maybe they could sell it by combining it with the Care for Magical creatures lesson with some trees as a side build and a new Hagrid. They could do that with a Clock Tower set also.

Oh, boy... that would be dissapointing. Myrtle in grey with printed legs would be really cool, but the Baron is much more important.

I'd like a set with the horntale able to grab on the tower. It could include the prefects bathroom, defence against the dark art... the raven claw common room...

The fact is that the iconic Hogwarts silhouette is the one with the Astronomy Tower. If you look on the box of the Main Tower sets you can even see the Astronomy Tower in the background. So taken for certain thhat we'll have the Viaduct Entrance section, I would say that the next big section of Hogwarts will likely be the Astronomy Tower, not the DADA Tower and Dark Tower.

The only issue is that in the movie the tower the dragon is hanging from are the Grand Staircase Tower and the Dumbledore's Office Tower. As for the towers missing yet, I think the Astronomy Tower will likely be part of this castle and I don't think that the Hungarian Horntail would match well with the tower. I think it's more likely a set as the 2019 Hungarian Horntail Triwizard Challenge, maybe without the tent and with the rocky arena.

My guess is that it could be the Fiendfyre or an out of the box pick, the firework dragon that chases Umbridge.

It‘s been comfirmed to be the June wave ^^

Here's the set numbers according to Brick Fanatics:

72462, 14+ (this is a weird one because it comes before several of the January 2026 numbers)

76469, 8+

76471, 8+

76473, 10+

76474, 14+

 

Speculation:

8+ sets - if these are the only two we'll get in June, I'm expecting one to be another smaller (possibly interiors-only) Hogwarts Castle expansion and the other to be the latest Diagon Alley entry.

10+ set - if that's the only 9+ or 10+ set we'll get in June, I'm expecting a larger Hogwarts Castle expansion.

14+ sets - I'm currently leaning towards buildable creatures/objects.

There's a skipped or missing number, 76472, possibly next year's AC?

 

Also has anyone else seen the leak about "Smart Play" being meant to play a large role across several LEGO theme in the future? Between the likely pricing (look at the Sorting Hat and some Star Wars leaks!) and the fact that I'd like for both myself and the kids to retain at least one hobby that doesn't involve an app, I'm not sure I'm looking forward to that.

Happens regularly :wink: Like this year, where the Herbology Class (76445) was sandwiched between the January sets.

Also, this is likely not the full list. As you say, no AC or D2C set, for instance ^^

I know and I've actually pointed this out on this very thread before but I still found it worth noting.

Reasonable guesses given the age ratings line up perfectly and that is the cadence of sets from recent waves. I’m hope for Divination and Chamber of Secrets

 

The smart play bricks are coming no matter if fans want them. I’d assume Lego is doing this to differentiate from other brick companies as it’s harder to compete on pure quality now with those companies catching up. The real question is will Lego provide replacement bricks there when they inevitably wear out.

I’m not sure if I saw any discussion on the leaked piece count for the January wave?

Solid piece count for the hospital wing. About 200 more pieces than the flying lesson. Gives some hope that it’s the clock tower. 

Lovegood House piece count is a bit concerning. Also the sorting hat and Hagrid’s motorcycle being identical makes me think one of them is off.

  • Hagrid’s motorcycle: private drive escape: 124 pieces
  • Sorting had ceremony: 124 pieces 
  • Cornish pixie: 320 pieces 
  • Hogwarts castle: Hospital wing: 907 pieces
  • Cauldron secret potions: 652 pieces
  • Philosophers stone collectors edition: 1571 pieces 
  • Lovegood house: 764 pieces 
  • flying ford Anglia: 868 pieces

Just finished the Hogsmeade set! Fun building experience and the result looks stunning! :sweet: Four drawbacks for me:

  • Where’s the acid pop jar? That print should still be around!
  • No Mr Flume. I guess the 2021 faceprint wasn’t around anymore?
  • Draco again relying on Kaz’ faceprint, despite having his own unique one.
  • Fudge’s faceprint is a laughably bad choice. It ranks up there with Happy Hogan having Kaz’s faceprint!

Sure, we’ve known anout the latter three since the reveal, but I still wanted to point them out again :tongue:

The Hospital Wing is very close in piece count to the last full Clock Tower set we had (though that included a side build), but again if Lego was going to make another full Clock Tower wouldn't they name it that. The last one was just the top and only interior was the Hospital Wing so it makes sense to not name it there since the Clock was probably a last minute add.

Lovegood piece count also makes sense with it being a doll house like set. A room for the kitchen on the first floor and probably Luna's bedroom above, maybe one other room but there isn't much to go on from movie content.

Unless they somehow incorporate the Tale of the Three Brothers! Probably my favourite story within a story and a very uniquely animated scene :thumbup:

I expect a book with a stickered tile.

If we don't get the bloody baron officially: captain salazars legs and torso from pirates of the carribean 5,  the grey and white Detektive's head from the cmf and captain hook's hat and hair combo (needs painting) look pretty perfect.

I wander if the Hogwarts castle, hospital wing be a part of the third building in the castle lineup the library annex? with a price of €99 its going to be a relatively large set!

So maybe the library annex will be split into several modules making it a bit easier to buy...

Maybe, but Lego has been pretty honest with putting locations in the right buildings and the Hospital Wing goes behind the Main Tower not near the Viaduct entrance.

Ah! Right in the south wing!
