Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[Legoman123]

So given the size of the main tower I am really hoping for one of the best interiors we’ve ever seen in a Hogwarts expansion. For me I’d love to see every common room and dorm room as areas in it (accept Hufflepuffs as we already have that)

Yeah, this sounds like one of the largest Hogwarts sets we're going to get so I really hope Lego go all out. I could see them potentially putting the Ravenclaw common room in a future set but I do hope we get the Gryffindor and Slytherin ones at the very least. 

Has there been any hint on what else might be included? I know in the films Dumbeldore's office is located in the tower (on one of the mini towers that protrudes of the roof).

Until now we haven't had hints, just educated guesses like Dumbledore's Office or the fact it may have a common room inside - it would be strange for the most detailed castle missing some of the common rooms.

The modules included are not the most detailed though as we have seen in the great hall, so I wouldn´t expect to much. Two common rooms in one set also seem a bit unlikely, though of course possible. Gryffindor seems very likely to me but I think they will spare Slytherin for the underground-section of another set (maybe next years big set?) and put either the chamber of secrets in the staircase tower, or one (or two) of the trials from the first film, maybe even fluffy. Well and Dumbledores Office I guess.

Now that they have started with one, I would also think we will get the others too, spread over different sets.

Me too. I think they included the only common room that didn't play a role in the films in the Great Hall set because that is canonically where the room should be, so I struggle to think that they won't include at least the Gryffindor and Slytherin Common rooms if not the Ravenclaw Common room too by the end of the modules. Gryffindor's could be in this year's tower, whilst I'm expecting Slytherin's to be with whatever set the Chamber of Secrets shows up in.

I think the thought process was: "Ok, we need to sell an extremely expensive large set with an interior nobody cares enough about to miss it when replacing it with rooms we want to sell seperately. We have to put a few cool figures inside at least. Hey, this house ghost ist missing yet and we can include a fitting common room nobody cares too much about..." 

To be honest I have very mixed feelings about the line right now even, if I ignore the prices completely... It irritates me how there can be at the at the same time the best and worst version of Mc Gonnagal... how there can be such gorgeous Sets like Hagrids Hut and this pathetic owl tower. I hope the next wave gets better...

It’d be nice to get dorm rooms as well, like a full area.  We’ve never had that before.   Even if it’s just for Gryffindor, though I’d like it for them all.

 

I’d love to see some first  movie challenges incorporated in somewhere, maybe the stargaze can lead to a 3rd floor which then drops down to the underground section. They have made it possible to change rooms around so I suppose they can make different areas and you choose what you want in the castle.  

I’d also like to see Dumbledores office detailed like it is in the movies with the back sofa area and walkway. I’d like the kitchen as well but this is unlikely.

I would actually rather expect either Slythering included in a smaller/ medium sized Set, rather than one of the big expansions, while the chamber would probably need more room and would be included in the base of one of the main expansions, could be in the Staircase Tower aswell as in the Bell towers for instance. Unless they decide to make the chamber an own module ofc. Eitherway, I would see both of them included in the ground section, thus not in the same set.

Yeah, for Gryffindor it seems possible, for others, highly unlikely. In the end though, as we expect the Gryffindor Common room in the tower, I am not sure if there would be enough space.

Since we would be expecting a Round tower kinda, I wonder how Modules would even fit there - I would guess the tower itself will be similar to the upper part of the great hall with static rooms rather than removable modules. I could see them doing some stairs then,  with a small corridor on the side including fluffy, and two rooms with plants and flying keys underneath. Though in that case it would probably be unlikely to skip the final scene with Quirell with the set, but if they would have plans to include it, they would have probably skipped Quirell in the Great Hall.

Agree about the McGonnagal situation. Even though her dress is more folded up in that scene, it's still ridiculous that Lego used it to give her less printing. As to the owlery there is probably not too much  that could have been done to make it better even if they had been able to make a larger (and therefore more expensive) version. I currently have it sitting right behind the 2024 Great Hall and it feels properly scaled. Don't get me wrong its certainly too cramped and there is nowhere really to place the figures but solving that issue would have messed with proportions and not been something that is compatible with either the Hall or (likely) the main tower.  If that's what you mean by pathetic of course.

Lego doesn't seem to want to touch the darker aspects of the series so the kitchen is not just unlikely but is never going to happen. First it was never seen in the movies so it would have to based off the books or games which leads into the second the problem. I don't have as much experience with the games but in the books - if I remember correctly- the set up is a  mirror of the great hall with four tables that the food is magically transported up to. Not only would it be  building what is basically a duplicate of the great hall, there wouldn't be much space for any of the kittchen details if figures were to be posed in it. And the figures and scene would be a problem. The only thing that occurs there in the books is talking to Winkie and Hermione with SPEW which is not exciting and would be discussing something that Lego probably wants to stay clear of.

What are the odds though that they will do another Fluffy anytime soon? Given the scaling Fluffy seems like it would have to be downsized and people already didn't exactly like the last Fluffy as it is.

The last Fluffy was just fine except for the crappy light bluish gray parts, but that's not a problem of scaling. And if anything it was too big - the only way you can cram it into one of the 2021 Hogwarts modules is if you pose it lying down (i.e. sleeping). A Fluffy of that size would work well for the current system, I think.

Also, LEGO seem to have a thing for both vehicles and animal characters even in themes which don't have many of either (hence the fixation with the otherwise not very important Ford Anglia) so I think Fluffy's probably a given.

Well, I said I'll ignore the prices and just jugde if the set looks good, so I would not use the budget limitations as an excuse in general, but even less, when the owlery has a compared to the boart house in my opinion terrible value for its price to beginn with. What shocks me is, that it is basically not a half tower, but a quater, which has a very limited ankle, where it looks ok... and even if wou buy 4 it is not possible to connect them properly. What annoys me throuout the whole Theme are roof pieces ending in a 1x1 stud. I'd like to at least have the Option to combine 2 Code pieces and have a closed tower/ roof.

Well, they could do a completely moulded fluffy, that is a bit smaller - given that the Tower will be a big set, it seems more likely to happen than last wave with the small set. Though probably still quite unlikely.

I wouldn´t call it a fixation, it is rather just that cars in itself are a good placfeature for kids, even more a flying one. I also don´t think it is that unimportant for the series, after all it didn´t only show up for a short time but had three bigger appearances and I would say that harry´s "rescue" from privet drive, the whomping willow scene and the Aragog one are quite important scenes IMO.

That beeing said I like that they made a own set out of it instead of inlcuding it in a bigger one. So people can just buy it alone and add it to the Aragog Set without the need to buy privet drive for instance.

Having all three sets,  part of the problem is that the Boathouse is a tad too big when put up to the Owlery  or Hall and doesn't help with the owelry  proportions in comparison. You'r eright that its really only a fourth of a building but they can't give more without Lego's budget  going up thus making it more expensive (the budget wasn't part of my  original point but there's no way to discuss the issue  without referencing it).  

Additionally, the source material doesn't help. In universe the tower is kind of small and thin. Lego attempted to emulate that, perhaps unsuccessfully, by giving the small portion.

Two huge Hogwarts expansions in a row based on PS? No thanks  I‘d like to see a different take on Fluffy, but this could easily be done in a smaller set.

But only a big set would have the budget to make a moulded fluffy ;). And as I mentioned before, I don´t think a set has to feature one film only.

Not necessarily. Sure, new complex pieces often end up in large sets, but there are plenty of smaller sets with new pieces too. Just look at the 4+ Spidey sets, two of them feature brand-new dinos, and those require expensive moulds!

Well, if it‘s only partially based on PS, the other film would have to be CoS since the main characters only have short legs to represent the first two movies  I doubt they’d mix characters from different „eras“ , e.g., a short-legged Harry with Gambledore. 

Sure, they could include multiple Harrys to avoid such anachronisms, but so far they‘ve done only that for D2C sets

Which is exactly the reason 4+ Sets are so expensive. Same goes for Jurassic World and their Dinosaurs, but I just doubt they would do something like that for HP.

Or just include another pair of legs.

Actually we have. 4722 Gryffindor had both the common room and the dorm, though a barebones version of both.

Yeah, I think the recent Dumbledore's office was good but it omitted quite a few details like the portraits, the spiral staircase, the cabinet containing all the pensive memories etc.

I’d love to see some version of the staircase where Harry first meets McGonagall and that amazing ceiling, perhaps as part of the Great Tower set. One of my daughters is at the Oxford college where it was filmed and goes up those stairs to dinner in Hall every night!

While it would be a nice new scene, that area is technically where the Great Hall courtyard is (changed during the movies).

In the video games for the 5th and 6th years it's repurposed to be the Viaduct Entrance, though I feel it's unlikely that when that set arrives it will use up one of castle's interior sections for a staircase

The minifig lists seem to be a bit late this year  At this point in time last year, we already had a partial list! Not that I‘m expecting much out of this wave minifig-wise, but I still would like to know if there‘s anything remotely exciting here ^^

I keep hoping we'll get lists seeing as we've had Summer Star Wars and Ninjago. Hopefully soon.
