Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[BrickBob Studpants]

I doubt the astronomy tower being taller than the main tower would confuse anyone, especially if the set was less expensive. I imagine such a set would only include the tower itself ^^

[(1)Stein]

If we look at the side profile of the only set that has the Astronomy tower including, it's the Architecture scale Hogwarts Castle set 76419.

The Astronomy tower is taller then the Main Tower so if they do get to this part I'm sure they will keep the profile as accurate as this set!

That's a lot of in-story detail. I doubt your average grandparent buying a HP set for their grandchild would know or care about any of it. The kid wants "that Hogwarts set with the really tall tower", so "Hogwarts Castle: The Main Tower" it is. Anything more complicated would, again, IMO only lead to customer confusion.

I doubt those grand parents care if the main tower is actually higher than the astronomy tower, and would actually not even be sure if the kids would even know that it is higher, since you could hardly tell from the box alone - aside from that, they would probably just show them the set they want - or tell them the name of it instead of describing it.

[VinnieCannoli]

The main tower and Astronomy towere arenot _that_ different in height to change the possible display height.

Sure Astronomy Tower can be bigger than the Main Tower...but it's called "main" tower because it contains some more important/more popular places inside. Not because it's slightly taller than others.

Although I have the 11 sets that make up the "Build The Most Detail Hogwarts Castle" series. I'm not building them until everything from the series is released by Lego anyway! Makes it easier in the end....

I also bought the light kits for the main sets as well.... Going to be expensive 😱

I really want to see how it turns out in the end. At the moment I am not very happy with the amount of modifications necessary to make it not suck. The two absolute standout sets are in my opinion potions classroom and Hagrids hut. Flittwick's classroom and the boat house are nice. The great hall is in my opinion so much inferior to the one we got at the beginning of the reboot.

Minifigures for the January 2026 sets leaked on insta / reddit. No Ron in the Lovegood house. Good lord what did poor Ron do to deserve this neglect from LEGO. Will we ever get a DH1 Ron.

Where? Can´t find anything on Legoleaks reddit yet, but then again if it is somewhere else it should be there shortly. Ron not inlcuded in that set would be a huge disappointement, I mean there are not that many minifigures needed for that set and for a set of that size it shouldn´t be hard to include the trio, Luna and her dad and two deatheaters.

Lego Harry Potter section on Reddit. There was a link to an IG page, but the page was deleted. You can only read comments New leaks on January sets : r/legoharrypotter but it's not clear what was in the leak.

I didn‘t see the post either! From the comments we can piece together that there were at least two Death Eaters mentioned (unclear which set(s), probably the Lovegood House), Luna in her father‘s house but no DH Ron, and the Fat Friar in the Hospital Wing, but no mention of Madame Pomfrey. However, it sounds like the list was incomplete ^^

…or fake, since nobody else has corroborated it yet

[mark1991t]

From comments on Discord, it was also mentioned the Ford Anglia has no figures.

[BacktoBricks]

Fat Friar in the Hospital Wing, but no Pomfrey seems weird to me. The Fat Friar is not only in The Great Hall and whilst I know that does not preclude him being in another set, would the nurse / Dr figure not be expected to be in the Hospital Wing set from a play perspective.

Lack of DH Ron is getting annoying, but I'm guessing they are just going to be recycling DH figures at this point if they are already available and Ron just isn't considered necessary.

I hope the list is incomplete, but I'm guessing not. Or fake.

That‘d be awesome!! Looks like both DH sets may come with Death Eaters as the Lovegood house allegedly includes Harry, Hermione, Luna, Xenophilius, and a Death Eater. Best case scenario in my book, exactly what I wanted!

Also, the Fat Friar could be a different ghost since there seems to have been a question mark after the name. Fingers crossed it‘s actually the Bloody Baron to complete the house ghost collection!

Not surprising, given we weren´t expecting it to be minifig-scale.

Well Pomfrey not beeing in the Hospital Wing is not going to happen. If it was just leaked pictures of the figures, I would guess it was a fake, since both Ron and Pomfrey are missing. Lunas das is probably more easy to create out of existing parts while for Pomfrey they would have had to use an old version of herself - and in that case the fake would have been obvious - but of course just specualtion, especially without seeing the pictures. But eitherway, even if not fake, Hospital Wing without Pomfrey has to be incomplete, so there is no reason to belive the other would be complete.

[BrickBob Studpants]

The list has resurfaced on Brick Tap!

• Escape from Privet Drive: Harry, Hagrid, 2 Death Eaters  5 years later than expected, but it‘s actually happening!!
• Lovegood house: Harry, Hermione, Xenophilius, Luna, Death Eater, rabbit patronus
• Hospital Wing: Harry, Ron, Fat Friar (unclear), Dementor, blonde student, Hermione (unclear), wolf patronus
• Sorting Hat: Harry, Malfoy, McGonagall
• PS Collector‘s Edition: the trio
• Cauldron: Snape, Hermione, otter patronus

[Tariq j]

Sounds like a fairly solid lineup. Bit of a shame they’ve left Ron out of the Lovegood House and the three brothers as well. I feel like the Fat Friar may turn out to be another ghost since we’ve already got him in the Great Hall set.

[BrickMatit]

So strange the inclusion of Fat Friar in the Hospital Wing, but maybe it's the One-Eyed Witch statue that hide the passage to Honeydukes.

Lacking of DH Ron is really annoying, I really hope he'll appear sooner or later.

rabbit patronus

I am sure that is the hare..

Why could they not include the other patronus animals, that is more interesting to me than the figs 

Seems like they guessed or went with previous info..

Sorting hat is also said to include Hermione, which makes 4 Minifigs in a 15€ Set. At first that seemed pretty unrealistic to me, but in the end, what else would be included? Probably just a chair, the sorting hat and a plate as ground, and the minifigs won´t be anything new, so the only budget the set would need it to keep the torsos in production, since they retire with the boathouse this year. Actually would hope they include the boathouse McGonagall aswell, but I wouldn´t count on it - eitherway, if that rumour is true, it should be a set @brickbride can be happy with.

Still expect Ron to be included in the Lovegood house, 6 Minifigs for a set like that shouldn´t be a problem, especially since Harry, Hermione and Luna will likely be reuses from the Manor (Harry probably with another head). Same goes for Pomfrey in the Hospital Wing.

Since the Trio is included in the PS Collectors Edition, maybe it really turns out to be a more detailed version of the challanges - though I think then Quirell should be included too.

[THELEGOBATMAN]

The minifigure choices are mostly good. The Privet Drive set sounds like a highlight of this wave, and definitely the one I'll buy.

Sorting Ceremony is the only one where I don't like the minifigures—they are nearly the same as in the Boathouse, which really makes those two sets rather incompatible. Couldn't they have at least included Ron over Hermione?

And of course they ignore Ron again in the Lovegood house, because who needs Deathly Hallows Ron anyway, right...?

[Gorilla94]

I assume they mistook pomfrey with a skirt piece and lots of white for the fat friar in a blurry image... she will be there 100% and I personally can't see them "wasting" the bloody baron in the hospital wing. He will be a quite strong selling point for a large expansion themed around Slytherin, if they strick with the concept "big creature, common room, house ghost", which seems to be successfull until now. I guess the worst case scenario would be the Grey Lady - meaning we wont get 4 large expansions, which I could understand with Ravenclaw being a bit less appealing while hoping otherwise. The best case would be Professor Binns and they overlooked Pomfrey (very unlikely).

Sorting hat ceremony is likely to be the first "hogwarts castle:" set I'll skip. It seems to offer absolutely nothing I don't already have. Not even including a new student is pathetic.

Hagrids Motor bike sounds cool. It will look cute standing behind his house. I hope the death eaters won't be clones.

Thanks for thinking of me! 😉 That said four figs in a EUR 15 set sounds like wishful thinking, I'll believe that when I see it.

Again, EUR 20 list price and four figs, one of which is Hagrid? I'll believe that when I see it.

Dueling Club had 4 figures, for same price. 3 Repeats and a new figure. This could have 3 repeats and just a new face for Hagrid.

Disappointing maybe, but pathetic is a quite strong word and way overused IMO. In the end they kept with the characters from the movie, the best we probably could have wished for was Susan Bones.

Well as I said, I thought so at first too, but considering there likely isn´t much else included, it doesn´t seem that unlikely to me. The three students won´t need new parts (actually even the torso will still be around till next year, since it is also in the speaking Sorting head) and as said, I don´t think there will be more included than the minifigures, the sorting head, a chair and a plate, which would make the set similar to the accessory packs we had a few years back, also with 4 minifigures and for 15€. Sure, inflation made everything more expensive since then, but for a small set like that it is more likely to happen than for a big one - and honestly, the design costs for it won´t be that high ;).

On discount maybe ;). Duelling Club is 25€ RRP, while Sorting head ceremony is said to be 15€. And Hagrid is in an other Set, you are probably talking about that one... - though that would be 20€, so not the same price either ;).

Thank you! Really excited to see pictures now.  Very curious to see how they've sorted the Hagrid on a motorbike conudrumn.

The PS Collector's set also has me intrigued. Minifigures included doesn't necessarily make it a minifigure scene set as they might just be extra inclusions to a buildable objects set to increase the set's desirability for minifigure collectors. In some ways that thought it unwelcome as I am one of those collectors, but I have given up buying big sets just for minifigures. On the other hand, I'm can picture a diaroma like set looking super cool. Whilst we have had a lot of PS minifigures and the end challenge outfits have been covered twice, any set that gives new outfits to fill in scenes is welcome. That being said, I'm guessing the set exists because of the new marketing event and cinema release of PS coming up, so I hope they're not anniversary minifigures to go along with that that have 25 years printed on the back or something. Now those I might skip.

And like others, I'm guessing the Fat Friar is actually Pomfrey or another ghost. Very weird otherwise.

@brickbride I'm guessing you called it correctly. Poor Ron Ron!

Sorting Hat ceremony sounds exactly as expected. Like @Black Falcon the most I thought we might get would be Susan Bones, but thought they would probably take the easy route. I hope Harry gets the face print from the buildable Sorting Hat so that piece is available for more people, but I wonder if they'll include the 'good' Mcgonagall with the fantastic arm printing.

Any guesses as to who the blonde student in the hospital wing will be? Luna, Daphne Greengrass, Hannah Abbott, younger Lavender (Lego doesn't always stick to a hair colour after all), Ernie MacMillan or someone else?
