Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[Modal]

So are there only going to be three main "big" additions to this Hogwarts (Great Hall, Main Tower, 2026 set)? That would cover what is covered in the 2018 micro build, but I would hope it would go another year or two from here so it's full castle.

Probably.

Hospital wing and Flying lesson are good indications that at least for now there is a plan to have a more complete castle than 2018 micro build. We are missing

bigger sets:

1. Clock tower 

2. Viaduct entrance (likely with bathroom and Chamber of Secrets)

3. Bell towers

4. Central tower (maybe with library)

5. Astronomy tower / defense tower - depending on the castle version portrayed 

6. Quidditch pitch

Smaller sets:

1. Similar set to hospital wing to enclose the Quad (possibly North tower with divination class) but it might remain open for playability functions

2. Transfiguration Courtyard - I imagine a square set with thin walls to which would Bell, Astronomy and flying lesson towers would attach.

3. Dark tower where Sirius was held prisoner (unlikely if we get castle version with Astronomy tower)

4. Viaduct

5. Wooden bridge

6. Stone bridge

7. Suspension bridge

The great hall and main tower Connecticut in a way that gives you a pretty facade from one ancle and an open side for playability everywhere else. I assume we will get a pretty front view. Everything that goes towards the opposide direction will probably be skipped. It does not make sense to give us a pretty clock tower Front that stands next to the main towers open backside for example.

Ohh, why it is taking so long with those reveals? Still got few sets that I am waiting for, but Lego is exactly reading my mind and shows sets that I am not interested in from the themes that I am.

The only set missing is Hospital Wing. This set it's probably a LEGO exclusive, like Flying Lesson set was, so images will very likely appear when LEGO officially reveal the set, around the end of November if it's like last year.

Ja, Dang, So probably not till sometime in December until we see an image....😢

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? 

Well it either counts as a Headmaster's office (and we got Dumbledore's) or, if you go back in time a bit, a DADA teacher's office (and we got DADA with Lupin). I don't care about its location since LEGO clearly doesn't care either (see DADA in the dungeons or the bizarre location of the Mirror in the Main Tower set), so I just filed it under "duplicate". The only time Umbridge's office has so far been made by LEGO was in the explicitly OotP-based castle that didn't have Dumbledore's office, and that was nearly twenty years ago so most people won't even remember. I wouldn't expect its inclusion here.

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.

I agree that it's not that important story-wise, but it's important (or picturesque) enough for LEGO to have included it in the Clock Tower set. That set is recent enough that people remember it, and the "Most Complete Hogwarts Ever" should probably cover at least all the recently included locations. The same goes for the library which isn't that important either but was prominently featured in the Dumbledore's Office set.

Again, my list of locations to be covered is simply based on what LEGO has given us over the years, and the fact that they themselves call this the most complete version of the castle.

Something else to think about: If the big summer set is the Chamber of Secrets (as pretty much everyone seems to assume) with the Slytherin Common Room and Myrtle's toilet, how much room is there for anything else?

Especially minifigure-wise. In order to do the three locations you'd already need at least Draco, Harry and Ron (polyjuiced as Crabbe and Goyle), Hermione/cat, the Bloody Baron (since he's the only House Ghost we're missing), Myrtle, Lockhart, Ginny, Tom Riddle's shade, and of course the basilisk. I'm assuming that the Slytherin Common Room will (incorrectly) be on the first floor with Myrtle's toilet next to it. So they can cram something else into the top part but it won't have much of a figure count since we're already at nine at the bare minimum (without any additional Slytherin students). Thoughts?

I hate to be that guy, but they call it the most detailed not most complete or most accurate. We won't get everything that should be in there.

At best it is a solid foundation to moc the perfect castle (with severe mocing required)

It will likely end the most complete too even if they are not advertising it that way. The issue is that it might not be more complete enough or more detailed enough for someone who already bought an old wave to buy this wave.

I agree. My main issue is that while some sets are really great (like potions class room) some just suck at least in part. I like the rock foundation of the new great hall - especially the troll -, but the hall itself is in every way inferior compared to the 2018 one. I´ll have to expand the rock foundation and rebuild the whole thing to make it acceptable.

I agree that it’s a bit of a long shot as I said so in my initial comment but I don’t think it’s because it’s been too long since the last one for people to remember or because duplicates. We just got the Dueling Club this year and we hadn’t seen one since the original 2002 classroom, well over 23 years ago. We still got till 2030 for Umbridge’s Office to surpass that record. 
As for duplicates, just look at the Great Hall and how many sets they’ve made for it to be swapped in and out of. The 2024 Advent Calender, Dueling Club, the Sorting Hat next year. Never mind the two potions classrooms that happened in the 2018 Hogwarts line. And the DADA classroom is just the classroom and not the office which is a separate room entirely. The only reason why I don’t see an Umbridge’s Office not happening is simply because this line is going in chronological order with the Philosopher’s Stone being maxed out in the first two years, Chamber of Secrets being maxed out this year with the odd set being thrown in here and there. If the Most Detailed Hogwarts ends this year with Chamber of Secrets complete with Prisoner of Azkaban sets being sprinkled in, they just simply had to stop before they got to making Order of The Phoenix themed sets rather than them thinking it’s too obscure or a duplicate. We got a Deathly Hallows ROR before Umbridge’s Office obscurity is def not the issue.

That is actually not correct. They included both of them in the 2018 Microscale Hogwarts. And I don´t actually think that it matters that both is the head masters office, since both are still different rooms. So I wouldn´t say it is unlikely they could include her office, though it isn´t an must have either.

First of all, they never claimed it to be the most complete or anything but the most detailed. And yes, it is way more detailed than the versions we had previously. Aside from that I also disagree that this version of Hogwarts would have to include everything the last two systems had. We will likely get more than what the last two systems included, but if they would want to include everything made in those system, it also limits them in their ability to make new stuff.

Well, first of all we don´t even know yet how big that module will be or what other sets they are going to make. So it is hard to tell how much room we can expect from it.

If the bathroom is there only for the entrance scene of the chamber, they could aswell omit the polyjuice scene. Not going to say it won´t apear, but we just don´t know. But yeah, Slytherin Common Room, Chamber and Polyjuice potion in one Set makes a lot sense actually, but I can also understand if it is not in the ground section of the set and actually would prefer if they use the whole ground section for the chamber instead of splitting it between the chamber and the slytherin common room. And honestly, which set we got so far should have included the slythering common room instead? Great Hall Hufflepuff was more fitting actually, the main Tower would have probably had to be the set that included it but already had to include the gryffindor one and hospital wing wouldn´t make more sense to include two of those either. Your Minifig Lineup sounds plausible, and the other two sets had ten and twelve minifigures. Other minifigs that could be included are Filch and Pomfrey but in the end ot also depends on what else will be included.

Honestly, when I first saw it, I thought the same. And it still looks quite small and especially inside there isn´t much room. But when I look at the old one now, it doesn´t actually look all that great as I had it in mind anymore, and if I compare both of them, the new one is definitely the more accurate one, both in shape and dimensions.

I think it is partly a matter of taste. The original building is in fact pretty high, which makes it look quite slim. In that regard lego did a good job with the proportions of the new one and the clock section  above the door was ignored in the 2018 model. For the very steep price it would have been in my opinion absolutely fair to make the whole building a bit higher and the wider, so the proportional are still intact but they can have more space inside. The supermarket doors in brown at the entrance look just cheep. The spear tips looked so much better in the 2018 model than the 1x1 cone pieces now. The really terrible part is in my opinion the sky inside the roof. I wasn't able to recognise what it is supposed to be until someone said it in a review.

That’s actually a really great point, I completely forgot about the micro scale having both. And both the DADA classroom and DADA office are right next to each other even if they represent two different teachers’ use of them. And with how closely this current layout is following the D2C with some additions, maybe there is some hope afterall. While yea it’s not the most necessary room, I just really want to see a more modern take on it and it’s got a fun color palette with the pink to help break up the tan and the grey.

Door 1 x 3 x 6 Curved Top : Part 2554 | BrickLink would have been perfect for the doors IMO, but sadly they have been long discontinued. Other than that all other doors that are still in production are to big, given you would want to use double doors there. The spears and cones are again a question of taste and accuracy. Spears are actually way to long, and actually even the cones still are, but I think still the better choice.

It certainly would stand out, personally I wouldn´t mind if they include it or not, though it could be considered to stand out to much when you look at it from the backside.

The Dueling Club was featured, sort of, in the 2021 Chamber of Secrets set. A better comparison would have been the troll set from 2001 which we genuinely hadn't gotten since then (and no, microscale doesn't count). But I think more people wanted a remake of that than Umbridge's office.

As for the many Great Hall add-ons, that's why I said they wasted so many slots and now have to scramble in order to complete the castle. I doubt they can afford duplicates from now on.

Well, basically you can use every great hall set, just use the table there, put Draco and Harry on it, a small snake and Snape and Lockhart next to it - so you can play it using that system, but I wouldn´t say it was featured in this set, because neither did you get Malfoy, nor Snape.

I doubt we will getting more than one Addon next year for the great Hall, and actually I think the most important things (beeing the Dueling Club and Sorting Hat) have been featured, I wouldn´t know what else they could do for this part at least. Adventscalendar of course could feature something you can include in that, but aside of that all I could think of is a decoration pack of sorts - but even that doesn´t seem that likely to me. 

Anyways, since most of the films play in the castle itself there is enough they can include in there that they woudn´t struggle to fill a castle twice the size, so obviously not everything can´t be included.

Well it is in production now, so they can use it - though I don´t actually think the old one was actually that bad, but I would probably prefer the one she had in the old Burrow Set from those three.
