Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[JS038]

With the trio removed from the Main Tower box art, you can get a more clear view at the viaduct entrance and astronomy tower. I also didn’t see the box art for the new flying ford Anglia, and it has a very clear background of the viaduct entrance and astronomy tower as well. I think they might go as far as combining these two into one big summer set with the viaduct bridge and call it a day on this line. 

I am at least confident at this point we will see the astronomy tower as well. Hard to say if this goes into 2027 and we get the clocktower or anything more.

As far as I can tell the astronomy tower is rectangular. if they just make the flying lesson tower higher with another roof and a sidebuilding for the viaduct entrance, the set shouldn´t need more parts than the main tower. I could see the viaduct itself be a little expansion set you have to buy seperately.

The chamber of secrets has basically 3 relevant parts. The sliding entrance with the iconic door, the long corridor with snake heads and the statue with the basilisk coming out of the mouth. The corridor isn´t that relevant. I´d say, it should be easy to put the girls bathroom with a slide down to the underground section, the door and the statue in the entrance building and rockwork and still have space for an underground pullout Slytherin common room. They can save parts, if a portion of the entrance building is empty with a sticker in the backround showing the red writing on the wall. We didn´t have Mrs. Norris in this system until now. Add the Bloody Baron and it should be a very popular set that makes most fans happy and finish the castle okay-ish. I just hope we get another new teacher... It would suck for old collectors, if they remade Sinistra for the Astronomy tower, which would be the case, i guess. Lego wants new customers and for those she would be cool to get.

I am sure we won´t get the clocktower. It makes no sense with the open-back-concept of the castle to give us another entrance that is placed in front of the open backside and has his open backside aimed towards the fassade the other sets give us. It would look bad from both sides.

The whomping willow connected to the hut would make sence to me. Crookshanks ist the only relevant "character" missing from the first movies and would fit in. You could then play all the relevant sceenes from prisoner of Askaban in the new castle, too. It would also drive some AFOLs to expand their castle with Hogsmead.

I am of the opposite opinion.  I can't think of any reason why they would place the Hospital Wing where they did, unless they were planning a Clocktower set.  The Hospital Wing has a connection point that is facing exactly where a Clocktower set would connect.

I am hoping for an L-shaped Clocktower set that encloses the quad.  The tower portion itself has the film-accurate exterior facing toward the back of the display, and the quad-facing side should have a fully-detailed roof, which is the only part of the set you would be seeing over the Great Hall and Main Tower.  This ensures that the facade looks good from both sides.  I would propose that the first floor (quad-side) would be open, showing the swinging pendulum, and the rocky base could hold a classroom, much like the Hospital Wing set.

The set could also include a mirror-image of the Hospital Wing, enclosing the quad, allowing for three additional classrooms.  This would connect to the other free connection point on the back of the Main Tower set.

I am still holding out hope that they are not wrapping up the castle before including all of the major, memorable facade locations.  But only LEGO knows for sure.

I could imagine the hospital wing being planned exactly like this in the beginning but then being slightly changed. If there was a 4.th large expansion, I am pretty sure it would have the Ravenclaw common room and house ghost... to me it looks like they put those in the hospital wing replacing Pomfrey so there are at least all of those in the final castle

Because it's been discussed here lately: StoneWars has a comprehensive article about smart play rumours up (solely regarding the SW theme so far, but it gives a good overview of what kinds of sets to expect).

Now that we have the January product list, isn't it time to split this into a 2026 thread?

They usually wait until January 1st to do that.

Looks like another huge castle section is coming! It has even more pieces than the main tower!  It could also be a D2C set, but I doubt it. The others are all too small for a flagship Hogwarts extension, after all.

Looks like it should be the castle section, because both Great Hall and Main Tower have the same 10+ age on the box.

Also 76471 is probably another Diagon Alley expansion because it's 8+ and around 700/800 pieces, like the other 3.

I didn’t know about the age recommendation, so yeah, definitely a castle extension then!  Excited to see what it is, but PLEASE, can we finally move away from PS-based castle sections now?!  I’d even take CoS now!

At this point, I'd say it will likely have both Viaduct Entrance and Astronomy Tower - set CoS based.

I was thinking about this the other day, what if we get let’s say the summer flag ship set is the Viaduct Entrance and then the D2C could be an Astronomy Tower? The options for D2C Harry Potter sets are getting rather slim at this point that I see Lego actually feasibly attempting to do, so maybe with the Astronomy Tower being the largest portion of the castle it deserves the D2C title and budget?

The piece counts combined with the previously leaked age recommendations come out to: 

76462: 14+ (545 pcs.) 

76469: 8+ (379 pcs.) 

76471: 8+ (788 pcs.) 

76473: 10+ (2164 pcs.)

76474: 14+ (817 pcs.)

76475: (244 pcs.)

76477: (480 pcs.)

The 14+ sets are more likely to be buildable creatures/objects (although we’ll be able to guess more reliably when the prices leak), but that still leaves 5 sets featuring minifigures/anniversary patronuses. 
 

3 are pretty much guaranteed to be the Stag, Dog, and Doe (my money’s on 76475 being the Stag), but that still leaves 2 unknowns. And who can say if next year’s D2C will include some or not.

It might be the hopium, but I'm not so sure.

The 817 piece set is in the range of a book nook, which have been geared towards older audiences. The 545 piece set I am more likely to agree because that is Mandrake, Chomping Book of Monsters, Thestrals, and Sorting hat piece count range.

I'm hopeful for 3 castle pieces and one of the 14+ is the Viaduct Bridge instead of the more likely 2164 piece set being the Viaduct Tower and Bridge (without the Astronomy Tower).

Could easily in a Forest of Dean set. 

I can see them put a goat patrones in a viaduct entrance set aswell.

Highly doubtful. I don’t see any reason for them to shift gears like that when all the other expansions so far have been regular sets. Two huge castle sections getting released only 3 months apart would also bear the risk of self-cannibalising, plus D2C sets are more stand-alone  Gringotts for instance feels like a complete model, even without the rest of DA.

I hate to say it, but a Quidditch Pitch set has risen in the ranks of a potential D2C set because there’s not much else they haven’t tackled yet. Unless they start remaking previous D2C sets… (please don’t)

On contrary, I don't see the Astronomy Tower has a D2C set. It has a different shape from the main tower, but its size isn't so different, so it could be simply part of the regular sets.

Furthermore, having a black-box set to complete a regular set is not something we've seen until now for LEGO Harry Potter. Usually they're set that stand on its own - being microfigure, so really different from playsets (Hogwarts Castle and Grounds or Diagon Alley) or being targeted at adult collectors more than to Hogwarts castle completist (Hogsmeade, Burrow, Gringotts, Hogwarts Express).

I would love to collect the new castle now I can see how it's coming together, but the thing is just so massive I don't have anywhere to put it and I dislike just storing sets. I know there is no other way of doing a decent playset castle without it being substantial and I'm not saying it's a fault, but I'm curious, for those who are collecting the modules, what are you doing with them?

Are you managing to display them together, only displaying sections, building and then boxing them back up?

I will build a custom living room table with glass top and sides similar to what some people did with the UCS Milenium Falcon :)

Right now they all fit on a coffee table. After next year they will be displayed stand alone and from time to time combined on my dining table for play and enjoyment.

I perfectly know that I will never be able to display all the sets together in the suggested way and there's no way I can have more than the front line of the layout - so no Hospital Wing displayed. Living with a family means making compromises on the use of space. Anyway, I and my brother - with whom I share the collection - think that this will be the definitive Hogwarts Castle - at least for us.

My Great Hall, Boathouse and Main Tower stands at the top of a living room cupboard and the Main Tower is missing the top, 'cause there's the ceiling. I have space at least for the Viaduct Entrance section, not aligned correctly with the rest of the castle and maybe the Astronomy Tower, reduced in height.

In future, we're thinking about making room on a square coffee table in the living room, next to the sofa and put there all the castle.

Yea that makes sense, it’s not a very plausible idea in hindsight.

I personally have displayed a condensed version of the most essential parts of the castle and not the complete layout. I skipped the standalone parts like the Owlery and the Flying Lesson since they don’t connect anywhere and the Boathouse cause it takes up more depth than I have available. As much as I love the Hospital Wing, I might have to skip it due to a lack of depth that I have at my disposal. I’m trying to find ways to fit it but it would likely hang off my drawer that I currently have the layout displayed on. So the sets I have displayed presently are the Great Hall, Main Tower, Potions replacing Hufflepuff Common Room, Charms in the place of that Portrait Room, and the Dueling Club in the Great Hall. The Viaduct Entrance will be a welcome inclusion cause I have more than enough room for it length wise.

I really hope this is true, because I’ve been wanting a Forest of Dean set for so long!! It definitely would be the perfect fit for a Doe patronus, but (to my knowledge) since a Doe mold does not already exist, I’m not sure if they would make a new one or not.

My ideal forest of dean would be a build of the tent, a small build of the lake, maybe a small build to represent the dark Horcrux magic, the locket, the doe, and the sword. Minifigure-wise, ideally we’d see Harry, Ron, Hermione, and maybe a Snatcher or something (like Scabior). But Deathly Hallows Ron is a MUST. 

As far as Patronuses go for this upcoming wave, I feel like the Stag is practically guaranteed along with a high likelihood for a dog. If they’re willing to make a new mold, then Snape’s Doe for sure. I could also see them using a goat for Aberforth or reusing the Phoenix mold for Dumbledore. I would love to see Ginny’s horse, and it would be cool to get a new swan mold for Cho. Otherwise, that leaves Seamus’s fox, Ernie’s boar, Arthur’s weasel, and Kingsley’s lynx. Those are what I can remember off the top of my head. 

Realistically, probably only like 3 of the sets will have patronuses, given how in this January wave, the Escape from Privet Drive set does not have one. It seems kind of random when they include a patronus in a set or not. I guess once the set names are released, we can have a better idea as to which minifigures will be in sets and which patronuses are likely to be included.
