Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[brickbride]

YouTuber Brickstory has a detailed review of the Smart Play system up. Might be of interest to German speakers or anyone that doesn't mind YouTube's awful AI translations. 

One thing's for sure: If that system ever hits my home, side-by-side building is no longer going to happen. Those electronic noises are annoying as f*ck, no way am I building something with them constantly in the background. I build LEGO in order to relax!

Also there's a shot with the three SW sets on the table. We're talking EUR 330 worth of LEGO here! I never thought they'd come up with sonething so soon that would make the new modular Hogwarts and even Hogsmeade look like good value for money.

I have seen that the Great Hall and the Main Tower will last 2 years each, so the East Wing will be on shelves until summer 2028.

That's not a guarantee. Usually a systems change will send all the old sets EOL no matter how recent they are so customers won't get confused.

For what we've seen until now, 14+ is really hard to be a playset. In all the Harry Potter theme - from 2018 - the only sets with more than 14 years old target are: sets 18+ targeted at adult (black box sets); sets 16+ targeted at nearly adult before LEGO discovered is better to targeted them to adult (Diagon Alley and microfigure Hogwarts Castle); and sets 14+, which are only Enchanted Flying Ford Anglia (2026) and Expecto Patronum (2023) and they're both not playset.

76462_Hogwarts House Symbol (14+, 542 pcs): LEGO already produced a set like this in 2021 - 31201_Harry Potter Hogwarts Crests - but that was an art set and targeted at adults. Surely the new set will be a lot simpler, but in any case likely not a playset.

76474_Hogwarts Courtyard Plants (14+, 817 pcs): as already stated, this is a strange name, but the age rating suggests it would not be a playset too. The past Mandrake set had 579 pieces and a 10+ age range so the new set should be a bit more complex than Mandrake. The very iconic plant in HP is the Whomping Willow, but it's not properly in a courtyard and it's just a single plant. There are other plants, however, that can be put together in a botanical set: Mandrake (it was retired on 31 december 2025), Mimbulus mimbletonia and Devil Snare.

76469_Dobby the Free Elf (8+, 379 pcs) could likely be a remake of the 2002 Dobby's release and 2010 Freeing Dobby,  but there's also the fact that Dobby the House-Elf sculpture was retired on 31 december 2025. I can see some issues with this set being a swithcable playset, but also for this being a model. The main location for a playset set should be the cloister, with Harry, Dobby and Lucius as characters: here the problem is, for me, that 379 pieces are too much - it's the same number of pieces of Hogwarts Castle: Potions Class. Another option could be putting the scene in Dumbledore's Office: here the problem is even bigger, because it senseless to have this location as a switchable set - it's already inside the Main Tower. There's also the fact that the next polybag already has all of Dumbledore's Office objects - Sorting Hat, Gryffindor Sword, Pensieve and Fawkes. Would be this set a model of Dobby, after being freed? It would be really similar to the previous one - in DH movie Dobby continue wearing the pillowcase, but has shoes - but maybe Dobby is so is so succesfull  boy to need another model on shelves.

76473_Hogwarts East Wing (10+, 2164 pcs): this would likely complete the right section of Hogwarts. The fact it's not name Viaduct Entrance can be due to different reasons: 1) it's a temporay or erronous name; 2) it contains more than the Viaduct Entrance; 3) LEGO won't produce the Viaduct, so will avoid any reference to it. My idea is that this set will have the Viaduct Entrance and the Library section, eventually with the Viaduct. Inside there will be Slyterhin Common Room (1 big switchable module, like Hufflepuff), Chamber of Secrets (1 big switchable module for Slytherin statue + 1 little switchable module for CoS corridor), Library (1 big switchable module), Myrtle's Bathroom, CoS corridor, maybe something else (fixed sections). Characters could be: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Draco, Dumbledore, Bloody Baron, Tom Riddle, 1 minor Slytherin student (Millocent Bullstrode), 1 minor Hufflepuff student, 1 minor Ravenclaw student plus the basilisk and adult Fawkes. There's space, likely, for a 12th minifigure, but I don't know if there's some minor professors to fill this space or maybe there will be Lockhart or Filch.

76471_Knockturn Alley Shops (8+, 788 pcs): of course, this set will continue the Diagon Alley shops models, shifting to Knockturn Alley, something I didn't expect.  As already said, this could be a CoS or HBP based set. Until now, summer sets didn't go beyond Goblet of Fire and all DH sets were/are in winter wave, so I'm thinking more something more related to CoS, but we'll see.

76475 (7+, 244 pcs): this is really likely the Advent Calendar.

76477 (10+, 477 pcs): no ideas on what this could be.

I am hoping this will be a First Task set. Sure we have had it before, but the last playset Hungarian Horntail used that moulded head that was just all wrong and Krum has been updated since then to have a far batter headpiece. Going on the recent Bright Light Orange egg in the GOF Brickheadz, I won't kid myself that it will contain an actual golden egg, but the last set was 249 pieces with that tiny tent, so 477 pieces could do a more decent job. If we could get a Gambledore to in there too that would be great,  but probably not.

My daughter is hoping that too... She really wants the dragon :-)

Then... The only set in this wave for the most detailed Castle will be the East Wing, and the whole thing will only represent the two first movies, except for Lupin's classroom and the characters from the owlery and hospital wing (not really an scene, I think). I have no problem if we get also Divination class and the Library and ideally any other room switchable. I would prefer the Slytherin common room won't be switchable, I like how the Ravenclaw looks like. 

 

In that case, the sets will be:

The Great Hall (HP1 scenes rooms)  / Boathouse.  /  Owlery  /  Potions Class. /  Charms Class. /  Herbology Class. /  Dueling Club. /  Sorting Hat Ceremony. /  Flying Lessons. /  The Main Tower (HP1 scenes rooms) /  Hospital Wing (HP3 scene rooms). /  East Wing (HP2 scenes rooms??)

Slytherin would likely be in the dungeon, as well as Hufflepuff, so I doubt it won't be switchable. Until now the only not switchable dungeon location is Devil Snare, but in this case due to functional necessity.

Well, I would consider a strange choice not having a Chamber of Secrets in this castle. And considering that a future supposed Astronomy Tower would more likely be based on HPB, there isn't a lot of space where to put a CoS Chamber of Secrets (I know this location appeared also in DH, but an alive basilisk is better than a basilisk skeleton). So a CoS based East Wing is, in  my opinion, really likely. Once made this choice, everything else likely follows both as minifigures and as locations and scenes.

Pretty likely we get 12 mini-figures since the Main Tower did and the likely price is the same/similar.

My list would be: Harry (Polyjuice), Ron (Polyjuice), Hermione (maybe Polyjuice), Ginny, Tom Riddle, Bloody Baron, Draco, Hufflepuff (Justin Finch-Fletchley), Ravenclaw Student (Penelope would have been perfect here), Madame Pince (for the Library), Moaning Mrytle, and Dumbledore.

If COS, I think the dungeons are as you describe. The first floor is non-switchable Moaning Mrytle's Bathroom, the entrance chamber, and a Hallway with a "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened" sticker. The second floor would be the Library and some other non-core room (not really any other majors scenes from COS to replicate)

What's the betting that Pomfrey will come in the East Wing not the Hospital Wing, just like Quirrell came in The Great Hall and not The Main Tower with the end challenge. 

Trelawney and Moody really need to appear at some point too so unless they make an appearance either in the East Wing, the mysterious courtyard plants set or in the unknown set, then I would say we are due another castle section. And this could be a Clocktower set could it not?

Not that there's so much missing, isn't 

My guess is that if this castle line will last until summer 2027 we could have a Clock Tower - also if it's not properly right having it directly attached to the Hospital Wing - with the entrance at the dungeons level, like Flying Lessons set - in January 2027 and  Astronomy Tower in summer 2027.

A remake of 2005 Harry and the Hungarian Horntail could satisfy people wanting a Hungarian Horntail to attach it at the Main Tower, people wanting Gambon Dumbledore and people wanting Moody.

While Trelawney could appear in Clock Tower with her classroom.

Possible. I would say Myrtle or Dumbledore are the most likely to not show up in a COS East Wing set.

Very likely besides the Owlrey we don't get any sets for the Castle in 3 years outside of the first 3 movies and really just the first 2. It seems like such an odd choice when the other two modular waves did a better job covering all movies.

I think the Hufflepuff room is a little bit poor looking. The roof and the walls in the Ravenclaw's give it a complete and nice appereance. It looks more important, or something. It would be sad to have an Slythering room like Huffelpuff but green, I think. 

And, yes, it would be strange no having the Chamber in this set. I meant that if this set were the last one. If there are more sets as you think then they can give us more scenes from other movies, but if not, we will only have mostly these two first movies represented.

It is, but not so much because it is a switchable module, I think, but rather because it only has a few dedicated parts.

I don't think Slytherin's could look better without walls...

I don't feel the Hufflepuff Commonroom is missing any detail compared to its Gryffindor and Ravenclaw counterparts (excluding the beds for Gryffindor). The issue is the dungeon slots are way more roomy both on the sides and top by a few studs each, but that means a lot of extra volume to fill. Therefore, Slytherin will likely feel empty too because it will be a dungeon module.

More info has leaked:

The Dobby set is supposedly a buildable figure.

The East Wing supposedly contains a large stone bridge, Chamber of Secrets scene and 12 minifigures.

The Plants set is a Harry Potter botanicals style set.

76475 is Forbidden Forest: Expecto Patronum, a forest build with Harry, a Dementor and a Stag patronus.

Worst case for play scale sets

Saves me some money though. Still hoping for a 12 Grimmauld Place D2C

[Accio Lego]

Specifically:

76474 is called Herbology Class Plants – confirming that the mention of a courtyard was a translation error from the French site the original leak came from. 
 

76475 (the 244 piece set) is called Forbidden Forest: Expecto Patronum, heavily implying it connects to the Forbidden Forest: Magical Creatures and Aragog in the Forbidden Forest sets. 
 

The advent calendar has the set number 76340, which is not one of the previously leaked numbers. 
 

This means that 76477 (480 pcs.) is still unknown and probably a minifig playset. 
 

With the Forbidden Forest set confirmed to include Harry and his Stag patronus, that leaves us: 

Knockturn Alley Shops

Hogwarts: East Wing 

and probably 76477

as also containing patronuses – although we can’t completely rule out the possibility of seeing more in the advent calendar or D2C since the 2021 D2C included three golden anniversary figs.

With the stag out of the picture, I wonder what the others are. Must be new ones, but not necessarily new moulds

and Sirius, right? right! :-O We need Sirius.

 

Just check. The Forbidden Forest set with Aragog was 195 pieces and the Magical Creatures one, 172, so 244 pieces has to have something else than two trees...

Ron’s dog will definitely be one to complete the main trio, although whether he gets a new mold or not is up in the air. Personally, I’d do a new, proper terrier for him as dogs are infinitely useful in other themes, but Lego has never used the Mastiff or even the Afghan Hound after their original appearances, so maybe I’m biased. I’m pretty sure there are several people dreading that they’ll recycle the shepherd puppy mold like they did for Toto in the Wicked wall art set; however, despite all official merchandise having Ron’s patronus as a Jack Russel terrier, in the OotP movie scene where he casts it very briefly it’s actually larger then a terrier and has a longer tail and folded or drop ears instead of button ears like a terrier would, so going by movie appearance alone, the retriever mold might work instead of Lego doesn’t want to do a new mold. 
 

Snape’s Doe also seems like a shoe in, and it would be pretty easy to sneak him into that East Wing set with a dozen minifigs – although Knockturn Alley is also a distinct possibility since it’s likely Borgin & Burke’s will be joined by Marcus Scarr’s tattoo parlor and Snape is our only known tattooed patronus caster. 
 

Ginny’s horse also has more of a chance then ever now that we know the East Wing does contain the Chamber of Secrets and she herself is pretty much guaranteed to be included in that 12 character long minifig list. 
 

We might be able to guess more when the name for 76477 leaks, since it’s likely to be included in this and it’s much smaller than the other two unknowns, making it more likely that we’ll be able to guess all the Minifigures included from the name alone.

This will be perfect!! I don't like the classes under the Great Hall and the Kitchen with Dobby could look great.... But then I will need somewhere to put the Potion Class, ideally near to Snape potions pantry and Slytherin common room (that won't be accurate but it's how I would like them). 

I think I may need a building with empty rooms... but that is not gonna happen. It would be wierd to sell and empty building :-D

I could buy the whole East Wing for a good library :-)

Ha, I’m with you! We have a handful of classrooms that have nowhere to go. Once this system is finally done, may have to build our own empty castle section. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Hmmm. The East Wing could be interesting, but the rest sounds a bit meh, honestly. 2026 will thus be the first year where I clearly prefer the 1HY wave

[BrickMatit]

Considering I always avoid not playset, I can exclude half of the sets: Hogwarts Crest, Dobby the Free Elf and Herbology Class Plants  Interested to see the others.

[BacktoBricks]

If Dobby has to be a buildable figure, then I hope this time he is wearing his cool trainers.
