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 ;).

I mixed up some things I guess.

Well downparing things is what LEGO do these days, so that fits.At least it's going to be significantly cheaper than its predecessor - not like, say, Hogsmeade which costs almost as much as Diagon Alley but you only get a fraction of its value.

Honstly, not going to judge it until I have seen it, but so far it sounds rather disappointing. Not interested in another Hedwig, since the last one was so great already - and the rest doesn´t sound that exciting either - not that I am complaining, I am all for a set that doesn´t make me feel like I need to have it. The main problem I have with this set however is that they make a smaller, less detailed version of Hedwig, meaning, if they would do a Chamber of Secrets Set, which could include Fawkes then, would probably the same size - and I would just love to get a Fawkes matching to the Hogwarts Icons Hedwig.

Aside from that, it is probably great to get a newer cheaper version similar to Hogwarts Icons, for those who didn´t get that one.

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.

But then your Most Complete Hogwarts Ever won't be complete! /s

Not that it would anyway unless you want to cram all the Great Hall add-ons into the Great Hall at the same time, but I guess for LEGO it's the thought that counts or something.

The Collection set sounds fine but also a little dull since it’s mostly an amalgamation of things we’ve seen before. It’s a shame they didn’t include a new figure like Nicholas Flamel or something.

It apparently does include a Chocolate Frog card and the Icons version featured an actual minifigure. That said, it would probably just be Dumbledore again.  
 

Kinda salty that the Rookery apparently doesn’t include Ron. He’s really getting shafted in the DH sets, isn’t he.

Wondering if the "Fat Friar" mini-figure is actually Sirius? While not completely grey, his robes in POA are close enough to be confused in a blurry picture and would fit in with POA.

I’d be happy with Sirius! But I’m holding out hope that BrickMatit was right and it’s actually the one-eyed witch statue, which hopefully means a bit of the tunnel to honeydukes is included in the set! Despite it being small and basic, I absolutely love the 2004 version and would love to see it remade!

Just going to list some thoughts I have on this wave with what we know so far!

- I’m super excited about the patronus animals being included in sets! We have confirmed Lupin’s wolf, Hermione’s otter, and Luna’s hare. If the rest of the minifigure scale sets come with animals, my money is on Harry’s stag in the Hagrid motorbike set, McGonagall’s cat in the sorting hat set (since they both already exist in older sets), and then maybe others in the summer wave? Such as Ron’s dog, Ginny’s horse, or Dumbledore’s Phoenix, since those would just need to be recolors of existing molds.

- The Hagrid’s motorbike set is probably what I’m most excited for because this is the set I thought the brick built one was going to be, and I’ve been wanting what’s essentially a death eater battle pack! I’m assuming they’ll be two identical figures, but it’ll be nice to get some more death eaters regardless!

- The hospital wing set intrigues me. Now that I know it’s most likely POA, I’m more excited about it, though I do have and love the previous hospital wing set. Ideally for me, it would have the clock tower exterior with a hospital wing top floor, lupin’s dada classroom and /or office below, and then somehow incorporate the one eyed witch statue with a hole underneath that leads to the tunnel to honeydukes. And ideally it would come with a Lupin figure. But I may be getting my hopes up too much.

- The new Ford Anglia set sounds interesting now that we know a brick built Harry and Ron will come in it, but still going to be a pass for me. But I’m looking forward to seeing it! Same with the Cornish pixie. Not for me, but I’m sure it’ll be cool to see!

- Not including Ron in the Lovegood house set is inexcusable in my opinion. There are only 4 actually characters in that scene (the trio and Xeno), so they should be guaranteed in the set. Plus Luna and two death eaters would be icing on top. But I’m really getting frustrated how Ron only gets included in year 1 or 2 sets and we barely get him with medium legs or regular legs anymore! I believe the only older Ron currently on shelves is the new Hogsmeade set, whereas every other Ron appearance currently has short legs. Not sure what Lego has against older Ron, but I really need a DH1 camping / locket horcrux battle set with Ron, as well as a set with DH2 Ron! 

- Sorting hat set sounds basic, but since it’s inexpensive, I’ll probably get it. I’d love Lego to continue making affordable sets with lots of minifigures! Just like the 2019 Rise of Voldemort set! 

- Cauldron set sounds interesting in theory, but it’s a bummer it only has two minifigures for that price. Especially since they’re nearly guaranteed to be existing figures, such as the ones in the current potions class set. Might be cool for kids to have a big brick built cauldron to add potion ingredients to if that’s what it’s going to be, but probably not a set for me. 

- Similarly, the Philosopher’s Stone set sounds basically like a remake of the Icons set from a few years ago, so that’s an easy pass. Even the trio figures will probably be the same as the Main Tower set or very similar, so nothing too exciting there. 
 

Okay, I think those are all my current thoughts Lol. Looking forward to hopefully getting more info and pictures soon!

Harry’s Stag might be preexisting, but a large animal like that in a $20 set that already includes Hagrid and almost certainly some new parts to make a motorcycle accommodate him? Seems unlikely, especially with the recent price hikes. 
 

I’d expect Harry’s patronus to feature in one of the summer sets instead. For the Escape from Privet Drive set I’d expect a smaller animal of some sort. Considering that Lupin is merely heavily associated with the Hospital Wing (assuming it’s PoA based) instead of actually present when we know his Wolf will be included, that opens up the possibility of Arthur’s Weasel, Fred and George’s Magpies, Ron’s Terrier, or Kingsley’s Lynx. I wouldn’t discount Aberforth’s Goat either, since he casts it in the DH book and the chances of getting anything final battle based in the summer wave are slim and the Goat is a preexisting mold that’s not too big or multipart.

I could totally be wrong, but I thought anniversary bonus things didn’t count toward the set. For example, the golden minifigures in the 20th anniversary wave didn’t count toward the minifigure count / overall cost of the set. So that’s why I figure the stag would be in that set. It would make sense to have the main character’s patronus in a cheaper / easily accessible set (like how they included golden Harry in the cheap polyjuice potion set in 2021). Though if you are correct that it would count against the set, then for sure they would not include it since they’re already giving us 4 figures (one being Hagrid) in a cheaper set! Though if they wanted to include a smaller patronus instead (like Ron’s, Arthur’s, Fred/George’s, or Kingsley), I wouldn’t be mad since I already have Harry’s patronus from 2019! 
 

I would think they wouldn’t wait until the summer to give us the main character’s patronus, but who knows at this point. And you’re totally right about Aberforth’s goat! I’d honestly be surprised if we don’t see it at some point since it’s a preexisting mold and one of the few patronuses that are corporeally featured in the series.

Do we expect the patroni to be glittery trans-light blue again or trans-light blue satin instead? That colour was introduced in 2020 I think, so after the first patroni already came out, and they probably stuck with the original colour until 2022 for the sake of consistency. Since it’s pretty much a reboot now, they could easily switch colours ^^

Personally, I’m fine with either option

I guess satin. If they do the ones not existing at the moment in a slightly different colour, there will be some collectors buying the existing ones they already have again, so they all match with each other. It would be a lot less customer friendly and maximize profit, so yes... I am pretty sure satin.

The positive about satin: there is an adorable penguin ich sculpture in this colour already, so I can add a hilarious Hufflepuff with penguin patronus to my room of requirement training scene, when they match.

I would actually think Glow in the Dark would be a cool option too - sure you can´t look through anymore, but it would still represent the patroni pretty well IMO., at least the shining effect of them would be done better than with some glitter. 

Satin would basically work too, but IMO it won´t happen, most likely they will just stay with the old system. Satin is just to tarnished IMO.

You mean GITD white?? That colour is almost indistinguishable from regular white until you switch the lights off, and then it glows in a shade of green. Neither invokes the appearance of a patronus in any shape, way, or form, to be honest

And transparent blue with glitter does? Patroni aren´t really blue IMO, they are just bright glowing. As I mentioned you can´t look through anymore, and with lights on it wouldn´t look like much - but I am pretty sure kids would love glow in the dark figures to play with.
