Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[RODDY]

With the updated list, the only thing I see myself getting is the East Wing. And I’m sure it will be a great set and has the potential to be the best Hogwarts set yet but honestly I was really expecting a bit more from this wave. No individual classroom like Divination which felt like a shoehorn to complete all the PoA scenes is especially disappointing. Fingers crossed for the Astronomy Tower and Inferi Cave next year.

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

He is specifically a free elf this time, and the just retired Dobby buildable figure was the moment he actually got freed. I can’t see why they’d issue a brand new set with a different piece count instead of just pushing back the old one’s retirement date if they were going to be practically the same, so Dobby with his tiny red trainers is the only option. (Unfortunately – personally, I think Dobby being deprived of his hideously mismatch outfits is one of the movies’ biggest mistakes)

[brickbride]

Ugh. Dobby's going to be the new Groot - check over at Marvel how many versions of buildable Groot we've got in the last few years. Also look out for Dancing Dobby, Venomized Dobby, Dobby in a Ravager's Outfit during the next few years.

Just the other day I speculated that we're due a new Expecto Patronum set since it would make the most sense for LEGO to make the stag its own small set rather than give it away as a collectible. And here we are. No Sirius, though!

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...

Two better trees maybe - have you seen the ones from the old Expecto Patronum set, especially from the back? (That set was only 121 pieces. That said, it had Sirius and two dementors, so it still seems like better value to me.)

Aragog's hardly a fair comparison since he himself is brick-built and the stag is not. You're right about the piece count but with the Forbidden Forest theme they can just stuff the set with random greenery in order to pad the piece count. If this one's 244 pieces we're probably talking at least EUR 25 list price, right? More likely EUR 30. Granted they've surprised me with the pricing of the two smallest January sets, but those were only about 120 pieces each, and this one's clearly aiming at "Gotta catch 'em all" patronus collectors so I wouldn't be surprised by a higher price.

They might put Divination in the East Wing, why ever not. It would fit with DADA in the dungeons from the Hospital Wing. Also the unaccounted for 480 pieces set might still be a part of the new modular Hogwarts. But yeah, colour me surprised that we won't get any stand-alone classrooms any more. I wonder how well the Potions Class sold!

I imagine if any sales killed the modular classroom sets it would be the ones for the Charms Class set – it’s tinier and more cramped than potions and had no cool new molds to incentivize collectors.

If it has better trees and a higher price there is no reason not to include Sirius. I mean, there is no reason at all not to include him, but if it's a bigger and more expensive set is worse. Even Magical creatures includes Harry, Ron and two animals. The set won't be the most detailed one without the character that is the reason of the scene....

Well, leaks - particularly the first ones - have to be taken with a pinch of salt. It's not impossible that the list is not completed. Surely an Expecto Patronum scene with no Sirius as little sense, especially considering the previous one has less pieces but both Harry, Sirius, 2 dementors and the stag patronus.

Time has changed and prices too, unfortunately, so it's even possible that LEGO won't put Sirius in this set, but I'd wait before worrying about it

Question: Do you think we could get more classes for the Castle even if the East Wing is the last big set? 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. Maybe we could still get some classes or rooms for it, right? We love the Castle but we wish more play sets like the scenes and classes. On the other side, I think everything but the Herbology class and the Hospital scene are all from the first book/movie, so something relate to others would be great too. 

I doubt it, there are always bigger and smaller Sets and there not beeing bigger Sets anymore would make it very Likely we will see the next Hogwarts Modul again.

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.

I still wouldn´t be surprised if the Slytherin Common Room would end up in another part of the castle, as I would expect the chamber to take up the complete ground section.

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

That one seems kinda unlikely or strange to me. And actually they have spread wrong rumours before, so I am just not buying it.

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...

Would be strange to not include him, but the piece count could just mean they are building a bit from the sea, and maybe some more trees, there is just not anything right now I would imagine what else they could include there - and whether Sirius is included or not won´t really influence the piece count by much.

Supposing LEGO will put Slytherin Common Room in the dungeons - as should be - it all depends on the size of the set, I imagine.

The Viaduct Entrance building is similar in dimension to Great Hall, so it should accomodate in the underground only one module and half or a little more. In this case, I agree with you: Chamber of Secrets need all of this space. The only way to have also Slytherin is, in my opinion, to have a side building, in what is the Library Annex.

Now, while it's true East Wing is massive, having a little more pieces than Main Tower, I fear a lot of them could serve for the Viaduct. In the end, we could have a Viaduct + Viaduct Entrance set, without Slytherin Common Room.

At this point Slytherin could be - as Ravenclaw is - in a future winter set.

Well, if we would expect another winter wave, but right now it doesn´t really look like we are getting one, especially if we follow the blurry complete castle on the instructions and so far all big sets had a common room inside so I think it will be included. I am actually wondering if they could include the common room in the rock section under the the viaduct bridge, or better said where that one connects with the viaduct entrance, facing with the open side towards the Main tower. That way it would be in the ground section and the would still have all the space of the main build for the chamber.

BTW, I checked the Set number they said would be the Advent Calendar and there is no way that one is right. I mean, it wasn´t before anyways, since that one was way to far of from current numbers anyways, but it is actually sitting right in the middle of this years Marvel Sets, so if it is a calendar, it surely isn´t the HP one, but I actually doubt it is any Advent Calendar, as usually their number is towards the end of the years sets.

But it also has three figs for EUR 20 and until this January was the only somewhat affordable set with even one (!) female fig (Hermione, who is a popular character). I by no means think it's a great set but I think it filled a niche. Getting people to fork over EUR 40 for the Potions Class might have been harder in comparison.

As for leaks, one commenter on the leak post in the usual place claims that there's an additional HP set, 76478, with a list price of USD 129.99 listed "at my work". Obviously I have no idea if it's legit, who that is, or where they work, so take that information with a grain of salt.

I don't know how much it's likely. I imagine there will be also a function to make the basilisk coming out from Slytherin statue mouth, likely entering from the rock side.

[Black Falcon]

On the polish site where the additional leaks come from are also prices listed, though of course in their currency, but if we calculate the Euro-Prices should be the following (though would take this with a grain of salt, since their prices could be wrong and currencies vary anyways:

• 76462: Hogwarts House Symbol (14+, 542/545 pcs. 49,99€)
• 76469: Dobby the Free Elf (8+, 379 pcs. 34,99€)
• 76471: Knockturn Alley Shops (8+, 788 pcs., 99,99€) 
• 76473: Hogwarts East Wing (10+, 2164 pcs., 259,99€)
• 76474: Herbology Class Plants (14+, 817 pcs., 99,99€) 
• 76475: Forbidden Forest: Expecto Patronum (244pcs., 29,99€)
• 76477: ??? (480pcs)
• 76340: Adventscalendar (34,99€)

I´ve copied the list previously posted by @Accio Lego and added the missing Sets and prices. Those are rounded to what seemed plausible, the Hogwarts House Symbol for instance could aswell be 55€ - but then again, not sure how the difference in pricing based on taxes etc are, so I am actually quite sure some will be different in the end - and still not sure how reliable they are anyways.

Changed the name from 76474 according to the newer leaks

[joeee]

Signs are not pointing to it: but I would love if the Courtyard Plants turned out to be the fountain in the Clock Tower courtyard. Looking at the film though, the plants are hanging on the walls surrounding the yard and the fountain only has a patch of grass. Ah well!

[brickbride]

The "courtyard" seems to be a translation error, the newer leak has the set as "Herbology Class Plants". I'm expecting Mandrake and Mimbulus Mimbletonia, don't know what else would be iconic enough (maybe Devil's Snare but not sure how they would translate that into a Botanical set since unlike the other two I don't think it comes in a pot).

If the leak for 76478 (see above) is legit this might be yet another part of the modular Hogwarts. Or possibly a new location like Grimmauld Place, the Ministry, or Malfoy Manor which were all roughly in the same price range.

Devil’s Snare planted in a pot was actually used as a murder weapon in the Order of the Phoenix book, so they can be cultivated that way. 

[brickbride]

But Herbology Class doesn't have them in pots, does it? Unlike the other two.

Still I could see the set being comprised of Devil's Snare, a Mandrake (that one's probably a given - the last one is retired and LEGO recently released a set with several bonsai trees to come after their first, single-bonsai set), and Neville's Mimbulus Mimbletonia (which LEGO like enough to have put it in the Room of Requirement as well). Another option might be that plant that's represented by the red skirt with teeth in the recent Herbology set. It looks neat and the colour really pops which might be an important consideration, too. Especially since both the Mimbulus Mimbletonia and the Mandrake are a pretty ugly shade of brown.

That’s probably meant to be a Venomous Tentacula, notable in that Slughorn was seen stealing seeds during Harry’s Felix Felicis foray in the HBP movie (plus getting multiple mentions in the book iirc). 
 

Also worth mentioning is Gillyweed, since it’s a rather plot critical plant in GoF and would provide a more interesting build than just the standard terracotta pots. 
 

There are plenty of other magical plants in the books, of course, but thanks to the movies cutting lesson scenes for time, those (plus the already mentioned devil’s snare and mandrake) are the ones that would be familiar to movie fans. 
 

I suppose they could throw dirigible plums in there, even though those appear outside the Lovegood house instead of in Herbology. 

[Black Falcon]

I could also see them including a plant that is just mentioned in the films, but exists for real, if it adds some more diversity for the set (like Aconite for instance), though some more well known like the mandrake are likely granted to be included.

That beeing said, likely not a complete list of what they could include, and there are some that I totally wouldn´t expect to be included anyways:

• Mandrake
• Devils Snare
• Mimbulus mimbletonia
• Venomous Tentacula
• Gillyweed
• Aconite
• Ginger
• Fluxweed
• Knotgrass
• Mistletoe
• Asphodel

Whomping williow, as some previously stated, could basically also be included (as a sapling) but that would probably be hardly recognisable and wouldn´t really fit in, I think. Also, Venomous Tentacula already fills in the small tree spot quite well IMO.

I have a strong suspicion that when the East Wing is released, the official instructions for connecting the modular Hogwarts system will change—specifically, the recommended attachment point for the Hospital Wing. Right now, the Hospital Wing is meant to connect to the Main Tower, but that connection simply doesn’t work well: there are two connection points trying to serve a single join, and visually it feels off.

If the East Wing is intended to complete the right side of the castle—and if we only get one additional building beyond that (I’m hoping for the Astronomy Tower, but I’m not holding my breath)—then it would make sense to rebalance the overall layout. Attaching the Hospital Wing to the Viaduct Entrance instead would expand that area in a much more logical way and better suggest the Long Gallery.

My guess is that the East Wing will form a T-shape, with the Viaduct Bridge and Viaduct Entrance as the main axis. Adding the Hospital Wing off to the side would naturally turn that into more of an L-shape, which would both improve the exterior silhouette and help conceal the exposed interiors.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Call me cynical, but the fact they’re resorting to do PLANTS is further evidence they’re running out of ideas  That and redoing Dobby already. I know Fantastic Beasts has been banned forever due to previous sets assumed performance, but no Niffler? That would surely sell way better than another Dobby.

Don’t get me wrong, the plants could do well - just look at the Botanical Collection - but it still feels a bit like they’re scratching the bottom of the barrell of ideas.

That said, I expect the execution to be on the usual high level

[BrickMatit]

@sebastian666 Why even showing the set connected?

If you look at instructions of the set (6621417.pdf) you can see that LEGO show with no problem Flying Lessons set, not connected to anything else (page 112-113). It would have been so easy for LEGO showing the Hospital Wing on the right of the layout on its own. The most logical thing is that the set is meant - and LEGO considered and showed it in this way - to be the right side of the Quad.

I guess time will tell, but I think if I was on the LEGO marketing team and selling a $100 set like the Hospital Wing I would want to show a “working” connection point to the existing system to help immediately justify the purchase of the set - especially if I couldn’t reveal the actual intended connection point for another eight months. 

[BrickMatit]

@sebastian666 Well, but it's one year that there's the Flying Lessons set on shelves. And it's hard to tell, at the moment, if it will ever be shown connected.

If they wanted to create something to be connected to East Wing, they would have simply called it Library Annex or Long Gallery and fan would have immediately understood that there will be an East Wing set. 

They're trying to make a castle that's faithful in its exterior appearance to the movie material and it's hard to believe they can act in that way.

Hospital Wing is too different from Library Annex, Long Gallery or Bell Towers - the latter are square tower, the one in Hospital Wing is round.
