My Son has bought the Great Hall at the weekend, and now wants to 'complete' the most 'detailed Hogwarts in history' but I'm struggling to find a definitive list of what is in this and what isn't......can anyone help with this so can help plan it and ensure he doesn't see sets retire that he then needs and the like. TIA

How wide or narrow in scope do you want the list? Like just the castle bones, the swappable classrooms, sets that could be on Hogwarts grounds...

If you look at the nano-scale Hogwarts castle and grounds set, it includes things like the Ford Anglia and the Durmstrang Ship, both of which exist as sets. If you're being generous in the definition, that's up to about 19 sets in the 2024+ system.

This must be why I'm struggling to find something as didn't realise it was so complicated.

I guess the one's specifically linked to this collection in the first instance [i.e. buildings, and then interchangeable rooms]; but then others which can be linked if that makes sense

If the set starts with "Hogwarts Castle:" it is in the main modular line.

The others are harder to identify and might not be in perfect scale. A lot of people include the new Hagrid's Hut but it is nearly mini-fig scale, while the castle is nowhere close to mini-fig scale. Using the nano-scale set as a guide, I would add Hagrid's Hut and the Triwizard Arrival set to your list.

I've ordered him the Boat House so best sort the Owlery!

 

And thanks so much for sorting all that for me - best put a shopping list together and see what he can find here or there!

So if you don't count the grounds sets (although I'd be inclined to include Hagrid's), there are ten total  "Hogwarts Castle" sets so far, with another due in January. One of those ten was a Gift With Purchase (GWP), which kind of sucks, because it's unavailable except for ebay or bricklink etc. Of the rest, six are castle buildings (two of which are retiring - Owlery and Boathouse), three are modules (1 GWP retired, 1 retiring - Potions classroom), and 1 is a sort of swappable piece of furnishing (the duelling club, which goes into the Great Hall) and also retiring. With retiring sets, I'd recommend picking them up this year if possible, but also holding out for sales as those prices really drop on sets going end of life (EOL). You can check a site like brickmerge.de to see how the prices evolve historically over time to get a feel for when you're better off buying, but ideally you'd want to pick a site like that that reflects your local prices. Brickmerge happens to reflect mine.

If it were me, I'd skip the GWP Room of Requirement because you're going to get soaked, pick up the Owlery, Hagrid's, Potions Classroom, the Duelling Club and probably Aragog, all on sale and only if on sale, but then I also watch those sales like a hawk....   

NOTE: with the "EOL" it's expected, but not guaranteed to retire. Every now and again they change their minds, but if you want it, don't count on it being available after December.

If you look at the basic cartography from you can see the different elevations that Hogwarts stands on with the great hall and courtyard as well as the staircase tower and quad standing on cliffs and the large rear section standing on a large plateau...

Ignore the viaduct in this picture since it's obviously wrong!

The place the greenhouses are placed in your picture though, are not really something we are expecting to get in the sets, so the question where they will place them in their final model stays.

[Gryffindor]

The wait for the Hospital Wing images to drop is driving me crazy! In the meantime, does anyone have any guesses as to what the minifigs will look like? Do we think the trio will be in normal robes with medium legs? Will they have new robe prints? Will they be in their casual clothes from the climax of PoA? Will Lupin and the Dementor be new or existing designs? What hairpieces will the gray lady and Penelope Clearwater use?

I’d expect a new torso print for Lupin and maybe face print similar to Hooch in Flying Lesson.

I don’t think they would change the robes on students mid castle wave, so I’m confident those will be the same and the trio will be in those.

I could see the Grey Lady getting a new torso print similar to Wood in Flying Lesson but I think they will stick with her DH appearance because the early movies one is a deep cut.

Finally, I hope the dementor mold is the same because I think it has held up well.

What we can infer from the drawing is that Lupin will keep the same hairpiece and that Penelope has an asymmetrical hairpiece, likely the “hair over shoulder” one introduced in 2009 (sometimes referred to as the Heather hairpiece). 

As for the Dementor, that could go either way. The two hood pieces still co-exist, after all!

Sir Cadogan and Salazar Slytherin  I‘m glad they‘re all equally rare, but it‘s still tricky to get a full set just by collecting regular sets ^^

I had two Salazar Slytherin but couldn't get Helga and Edessa lol.  I seem to come across Jocunda a lot too.

Great list @krimimimi!

That’s quite funny because I have four Helgas, and it’s the only portrait I have more than three copies of!

[RODDY]

The more I look at the Hospital Wing sketch, the more I get confused of where it attaches if this isn’t flipped or something else.The rock face still wraps around underneath the arch which means it likely won’t connect behind say the Main Tower attaching to the Devil’s Snare or Room of Winged Keys. I’m just really puzzled unless it’s just a standalone like the Flying Lesson.

I’m pondering the same thing. I feel like this image has prompted more questions about this castle line than answers. I initially thought when this would be revealed that we would finally begin to see the pieces coming together of the larger picture, but this only adds more curiosity. 

Option 1) it’s standalone like the flying lesson and Owlery, and we’ve given Lego more credit than we should’ve with the overall plan of this “most detailed hogwarts”, with only a few of the sets adding to the classic facade, and other ones are just free floating.

option 2) it ends next year and once we see the summer names of the sets for 2026, perhaps this set + the flying lesson will be clear as to how they fit in (if at all? However both sets have clips in odd places) 

another option is that this current system expands beyond 3 years and they are truly going all out, and this is the beginning of the quad or a bell tower. (This option seems low likelihood, but maybe we’ll be surprised).

Two facade sets in the summer 2026 wave would be more than enough to connect the entire castle reasonably accurate

The Ravenclaw Common Room not coming  in a flagship set like the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and very likely coming this Summer Slytherin, has me leaning towards this year being the last, otherwise they would of saved it for then. And it’s especially out of place in a Prisoner of Azkaban set where they could have easily put a Divination Class  instead so it feels like they are trying to wrap it up. So my guess if following the framework of the last couple years of one big Hogwarts set and 1 or 2 classrooms, we will likely get the Viaduct Entrance as the big boy set, completing the Hogwarts D2C exterior but at minifig scale and another classroom most likely Divinations or Care of Magic Creatures or both. Personally still praying for an Umbridge Office set but I’m not seeing it likely. And even with a viaduct entrance, I’m still having a hard time seeing just how the Flying Lesson and Hospital Wing connect without just seeming tacked on. We’ll see I guess but Option 2 seems most likely to me. 

[(1)Stein]

Dr. Noppe has mocked a build from the sketch provided! Although the sketch was commented as being an early build and not a final set!

Still think it attaches to the "Main Tower" as I posted previously.....

Besides that they better leak an image soon, since it's driving me batty as well!.... 🤪

Care of Magical Creatures should mostly take place outside, I wouldn't expect that to be included. Also not Umbridges's Office since we got Dumbledore's.

In general I think a lot of people are expecting way too much of this Most "Complete" Hogwarts Ever, i.e. multiple iterations of DADA Class (and even of just Lupin's Class, i.e. the belief that the Snape Boggart might show up later), of the RoR etc.. I think we'll get one of each and IMO they opted for the lamest possible version in both cases (no Snape Boggart, no Lockhart and pixies, no Moody and trunk, no DA training or vanishing cabinet or Fiendfyre) just so they could say they did something new.

We're still missing at the absolute minimum the Slytherin Common Room, Myrtle's bathroom, and of course the Chamber of Secrets all from CoS, Sirius Black's Rescue and Divination from PoA, the library (which was included in the previous iteration), the Prefects' bathroom from GoF (which was included in the previous Clock Tower), the Clock Tower, the Astronomy Tower, and the Viaduct Bridge. And that list already excludes all the doubles (i.e. anything relating to Lockhart's or Moody's DADA classes since we got Lupin's, or to Slughorn's Potions class since we got Snape's) and all the ones fans have been asking for that have never been made (i.e. the Bell Towers and the swamp corridor). There's no way they can wrap all of that up in one summer wave.

But at the same time they might have to call it quits after next year especially if the current sets don't meet their sales targets. Which I don't have any real evidence for (except the surprisingly large discounts on Amazon) but still consider likely. A lot of adult collectors have "Hogwarts fatigue" (the overwhelming reaction to the Great Hall was " ANOTHER one???") and the system's just too expensive for many kids. So they might want to start again soon and smaller this time. I doubt that was the original plan, though, otherwise they wouldn't have wasted so many slots on irrelevant outside buildings, multiple Great Hall add-ons, and the like. If so, then the Hospital Wing's nonsensical layout might partly be the result of last-minute scrambling, i.e. Rawenclaw and/or DADA might have been shoehorned in there because their own module got scrapped.

I’d say there’s a good chance they’ll continue with this version of Hogwarts until 2027 at least. Sure, they’ve been working in 3-year cycles so far, but there’s no reason to assume it has to stay that way. Those patterns aren’t set in stone. Just like we assumed they’d continue with DH sets in 2021 after the previous 3 years were each focussing on two movies, and ended up with a reboot of sorts instead, and only a year after that we started to get DH sets after all

If the show does get sets (which I still doubt), it might actually work in our favour. The show is set to release at some point in 2027, probably later than sooner, meaning they’d have to have at least one or even two movie waves beforehand if the show premieres in late autumn for instance. Why introduce a new system that gets supplanted less than a year later? Of course they could introduce a new system in 2027 with movie sets first, and then switch to show sets within the same system since the minifigs will likely be the only difference. Doesn’t seem particularly likely to me though.

[Gorilla94]

I guess we will get a last big expansion with viaduct, a gate and 1 tower... the hospital wing could connect to it giving us the second tower next to the gate. If it goes well we maybe get a switchable room for Trelawneys class. I would not expect more than that.

[Virginia_Bricks]

I’m pretty happy about the facades and interiors they have done so far, assuming we get a Viaduct entrance with the COS, Myrtle’s Bathroom, Library and Slytherin Common Room. In 3 years they have been pretty comprehensive even if once in a while locations are off.

The missing professors is where I more wish this would continue on. I still want Pomfrey, Umbridge, Moody, Trelawney, and a few side professors (Binns, Grubbly-Plank,  etc…) but it seems unlikely with maybe 2-3 sets yet to be revealed in a summer 2026 wave

[krimimimi]

Aside from the fact that the castle layout morphed from film to film, we didn't have many dungeon locations in the stories - Slytherin, Potions Classroom, Chamber of Secrets, the PS tasks, Hufflepuff - and that last one we never even saw in the films. I figure it was a given if they made a set with cliffs, which I appreciated, they would need to stuff things in there that didn't actually belong. As long as the sets look ok, I'm satisfied.

Im genuinely curious, why can’t we have Umbridge’s Office if we have Dumbledore’s Office? I’m trying to think of a canon explanation but I’m struggling here because isn’t her office just next to the DADA Classroom like all the other DADA teachers? 
 

I also don’t think people are expecting multiple versions of DADA or ROR, it’s just they see it as a possibility or something Lego could do, not necessarily will do. Or at least I don’t. And while we didn’t get Boggart Snape, at least we didn’t get Umbridge’s DADA classroom where they just study for their OWLS. My current expectation is that this will be the last year with 3 more Hogwarts sets and if it’s a Chamber of Secrets themed Viaduct Entrance, I will be more than happy cause it will in essence be a modern remake of the OG 2001-2002 castle just a lot more detailed and some extra flavorings from the other movies. Ideally, I would love the line to continue cause I have enjoyed it so much and there’s still plenty of material to cover like a $300 Astronomy Tower would be really cool but if this year is it, I’m more than fine with what we got.

I don´t really think that many expect multiple DADA classes, just everyone would prefer something else depicted and overall wishes what is included is different from expectations.

We will never get all that stuff within one system, and I doubt even your minimum. The Chamber of secrets and the bathroom is something I would expect, but the prefects bathroom wouldn´t be the first thing that would come to my mind, that should be included in a Hogwarts Castle.

Overall the new systems seems to be doing quite well and I don´t see any reason that lets me think otherwise - including sales, as I don´t see any unusual sales compared to other themes either. And sure, people reacted towards the new system with another one, and yet many that said previously they wouldn´t buy it have done so - including people from this threat ;). I have no doubt that a new system will have smaller sets again, since Lego would likely want people that didn´t buy this version because of the price to buy the next one - but there is just no way we will see that version for 2027 unless it was planned already, after all setting up a new system also needs time and as far as I remember they start quite earlier working on that.
