Super low res image of the Hospital Wing box.

Grey Lady has skirt printing. Ron and Harry in their robes but not Hermione. It appears Lupin’s transformation is shown, so maybe a second head piece?

didn´t purist mean only using original pieces not keeping minifigures 100% like in the sets? xD

Yes, but I’m more extreme by not modifying anything, not even swapping hairpieces :laugh: That requires a different term. Ultrapurist? :laugh:

Too bad the Hospital Wing pic is such bad quality! I like what I see tho ^^

Harry and Ron (and Penelope) in robes and Hermione in post-Timeturner antics clothes seems like such an odd choice. And adding Lupin's transformation to the whole mess? They should have paired the Hospital Wing with Sirius Black's Escape instead of DADA and (randomly) Ravenclaw, that would have made so much more sense.

Yes it does feel like they’ve picked random parts of PoA and put them all into one set. They should have really just focused on the Ravenclaw common room and the DADA classroom on this one.

I like the fassade at least... it will make a solid foundation for a moc with a huge sale.

i really wish they would have  made the buildings deeper, so the classroomms on top of the cliffs can be pulled out, too.

Yep, with only Flying Lesson’s small modules being swappable above ground is disappointing.

At this rate nearly all Hogwarts classes are going to be taught underground. :-) Though I guess for Divination and Astronomy they could just cram a crystal ball or a telescope into some roof area and call it a day.

Well... oh, boy... thinking about that... i hope the last "lesser known teacher in a big expansion" spot diesn't get wasted on a remake of the already perfect Sinistra. Making her classroom a roof area with a telescope sounds exactly like something Lego would do.

Gringotts is going on 20% sale for Insiders Weekend. Seems to be the only set going on sale so far

Well, might not be complete anyways, and normally more Sets go on discount on Black Friday rather than Insiders days, so some smaller Sets could follow. And the big ones that are going to retire are already sold out here anyways.

Looking at the blurry Hospital Wing box image, it looks like we're getting Hermione in the pink hoodie. I think we've had that in three versions and four sets before (2022 Sirius' Rescue, Hospital Wing, Shrieking Shack, and 2019 Hagrid's Hut), and I'm wondering about its inclusion in this set. She uses the Time Turner in the Infirmary in that outfit, except it's with Harry, and the reason they're there is Ron with his injured leg, and neither of the boys have those outfits.

* What are your guesses as to why she's in the hoodie (what scene and / or builds are likely), and

* what do you think its presence here means for scenes / sets we're likely to see (or not see) in sets in the near future?

The grey Lady looks promising. Now I want Crookshanks and the Bloody Baron and I am good minifigure-wise :)

I am very interested to see how it all ends up. I could see the next (and last) big expansion being the viaduct and front view of the Quad. Then the new hospital wing can be put next to it on the right side to finish the front fassade. By now I severly doubt we will see a the astronomy tower and am sure we won't get the clock tower. I played around in stud.io a bit. The clock tower would be such a perfect Set for the System. It needs to be only a few studs wider and deeper than the last iteration and it would fit smaller pullout rooms rooms perfectly

A slightly better image has surfaced! Hermione has the TLBM Batgirl hairpiece (I think?) and Lupin‘s also appears to be different

If that is the hairpiece being used for Hermione, and it certainly does look like some kind of ponytail updo hairpiece, then I really don't understand the change. She doesn't wear her hair like that in any of the scenes and the last hairpiece is accurate enough. Is it the same hairpiece used for Disney Belle maybe?

I can't quite tell with Lupin, but Penelope seems to be using the same side swept blonde hair as Slytherin robed Daphne Greengrass and Hannah Abbott in her Christmas sweater, so I hope she has a more grown up face print or she will literally be the same minfigure just in Ravenclaw robes.

I'm not sure that's the Batgirl hair, it looks sorta like it has bangs. It does sorta look like an updo, but i think that bit in the back might be a brick behind her head on the build.

To me it looks like long hair swept over her shoulders, but I could be wrong. I'd love to get a new hairpiece that actually represents her hairstyle from this movie.

I'm still hopeful we'll get the Clock Tower since it's such an iconic part of the Castle and a personas favourite, even if i has been left out of the Micro-scale sets.

The upcoming Hospital Wing already includes a lot of POA themed scenes but there's still the the Divination Classroom and Sirus's escape, which happens in a different tower but he also flies away with Buckbeak from the Clocktower Courtyard later in that scene. Or they do what they did  in 2019 and just have the Clock Tower interiors be themed to a completely different film (Goblet of Fire, in that case).

There appears to be a hook piece on the side wall shown that should connect to the Main Tower, so if there is a clip or hook piece on the other side it would mean the Clocktower should be coming or that Lego just wants you to have a lot of freedom where placing each set.

Images are supposed to be officially release Dec 1, so a week and a half left

Hermione natural collocation is in Hospital. Depending on wether the hoodie is dirty and torn or not the scene is after or before using the Timeturner to travel to the past in order to save Buckbeak and Sirius. Clearly having no minifigures connected with the Hospital in a set named Hospital Wing is too much also for LEGO :snicker: Is it true that Penelope Clearwater was petrified by the basilisk, so you can put her in the Hospital, but it's a thing book related and not so relevant :wink:.

The second question is interesting, but it's so hard to read into LEGO developers mind to predict future - I'm not good in Occlumency nor in Divination :iamded_lol: Hermione appeared in this outfit in 2022 Hogwarts Hospital Wing, Shrieking Shack and Sirius's Rescue and in the 2019 Hagrid's Hut. Maybe LEGO is going to reuse this hoodie, assuming it's a new version of the older ones.

I would rule out a new Hagrid's Hut, 'cause we already had a hut in the "most detailed castle".

A Shriecking Shack remake would be interesting, for people that hasn't one yet. I don't know if the 2022 version is good paired with the Hogsmeade Village set, probably yes; likely a Shriecking Shack remake wouldn't be so different from the previous one.

Sirius's Rescue remake doesn't convince me. I didn't buy the previous version - too expensive for what it is. I think that to work well with this castle, Dark Tower need to be very tall, while even a Flying Lesson treatment is likely too much for the small action taking place in the scene. And it's not simple for me see the Clock Tower and its Courtyard as part of this castle, even if a lot of people asks LEGO for it.

Oh, well, maybe in the end LEGO will take the unsold Forbidden Forest: Magical Creatures sets, remove children Ron and Hermione, put inside teen Hermione and Harry and rename it Forbidden Forest: Waiting for Dementors :iamded_lol:
