I said it my other comment but I’d love to see a Burrow set based of Bill and Fleur’s wedding. You could have The Burrow (obviously!) plus a small part of the tent they set up. You could include most of the main characters in their wedding attire plus Rufus Scrimgeour. 

I'd wager Lego is done with the Burrow till the series revisits it. 2 play sets since the reboot and a D2C.

Personally, the only set I really want is a comprehensive Astronomy Tower. Its up there for me in its iconic silhouette.

[Accio Lego]

I’ll put in another vote for Bill and Fleur’s wedding. I think the tent is large enough and sufficiently separated from the actual house that you could easily make a set that’s standalone from the Burrow (and would look pretty nice alongside the Collectors Edition). 
 

I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for an Astronomy Tower in the current Hogwarts system. Preferably HBP based and featuring Gambon Dumbledore, who has really been shafted by LEGO’s reluctance to do large sets based off later movies. The inferi lake is another way we could get him, but there’s a big question mark on whether Lego would be willing to do the inferi. 
 

There are also some interiors of Hogwarts that I’d like updated versions of – the Prefects’ bathroom, Umbridge’s office, the trophy room, the library, Divination classroom, the secret passageway with the one eyed witch statue entrance, and naturally the Slytherin common room (although that seems a rather safe bet on happening at this point).

A digital moc up of the east wing has been shared by Unibricks on instagram. Looking forward to seeing that one revealed

Bloody Baron and a small Chamber of Secrets with a new basilisk? So likely a two modules base with both Slytherin Common Room and Chamber of Secrets at this point.

The moc up doesn't show the stone bridge and this matches with what I expected.

Yeah, it says Small Chamber of Secrets so pretty much guarantees that the base will have something else and the next most likely module is the Common Room especially with the Baron included. 

[ThoBru]

I had really expected a stone bridge, linking the viaduct entrance with the main tower set. Just to give the whole build together a bit more cohesion and stability together.

On the contrary, I expected that LEGO wouldn't have put the stone bridge in East Wing, because it would be a point of instability and incompleteness of the East Wing set and something LEGO avoids.

Pain the line is probably finishing up this year :(

Unfortunately, at this point we can only expect a January 2027 last minor set, but likely there will be a new castle in summer 2027.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Good to hear the Bloody Baron is indeed included  The Basilisk being new us hardly a surprise, but the previous one will be hard to top!

[Virginia_Bricks]

Still hopeful Myrtle makes her way in to the set. Lego hasn't done two ghosts in a set before, but this is the only time is really makes sense.

 

Overall, since the Baron and by extension the Slytherin Common Room kind of hint this is it, I'm reflecting on the entire wave. As a "new" collector who came on board just as this wave started, I am very happy with the one I got. I don't plan to collect much HP after this ends unless its movie based non-Hogwarts sets, but I probably would have said the same thing if I collected the 2021-2023 wave. I just don't have the budget when there are so many other Lego themes I enjoy.

We ended up with $1,123 USD worth of sets, 9,576 pieces, 75 mini-figures, and 3 big figs. Also one decent GWP (I'm still hopeful the GWP this year is another small classroom, but don't think its likely). Sure they spent a lot (maybe too much) of the budget on the facades and not the interiors, but if you look at this castle as primarily PS -  POA, is is basically 100% complete. Divination is the only main exception and Pomfrey (who might come in the East Wing). 

I plan to buy old versions of Pomfrey, Trelawney, Mad-Eye, Umbridge, Sinistra, and Madam Prince and maybe MOC up an Astronomy Tower using a 2 Hospital Wing sets.

Found the digital mock-up. Honestly my first thought was "That's it"? Among other things the leaked silhouette had four towers, not just two.

I'm assuming the Chamber will take up the entire dungeon level with the Slytherin Common Room and Myrtle's toilet on the ground level (which would already be a "small" Chamber compared to, say the 2002 version). That would leave room for what, one or two other rooms? And maybe Divination (that is, a single crystal ball and/or teapot) and Astronomy (that is, a single telescope) crammed into the towers.

If the Chamber only takes up half the dungeon level it will look pathetic.

Overall if Chamber is indeed the last addition I’m very happy with what this line has given us and think this will probably be the most complete Lego Hogwarts castle as I don’t imagine them making a more ambitious or bigger castle than this. As someone who has owned every minifig castle system since the beginning with my favorite being the 2001-2002 castle till this new one, this felt like a castle built for me. It has the exterior of the 2018 Microscale castle but in system scale with the primary focus on the first two films. When I first read of leaks back in 2018 of a D2C Hogwarts, this is what I always imagined before it was known as a Microscale Castle. I really love that for the first time in twenty odd what years, we finally have the Chamber of Secrets and the complete Philosopher Stones Challenges under one Hogwarts system. I really like seeing old sets like the Troll on The Loose and Dueling Club remade while we had some great new additions to the system like Charms. I really love that we finally got Pajama Neville, the GOAT Harry Potter minifigure. And some of these classroom sets are just beautiful like Herbology and Potions. And while I’m really thrilled by all that and I’m stoked with the end result ngl there is a part of me that thinks, man Lego came so far there’s only a handful of plot important rooms left, why couldn’t they just do one or two more sets to truly make this a truly complete Hogwarts.

That's a lot of minifigs.

Other than that, just for perspective, you could buy Diagon Alley, the 2018 microscale Hogwarts, AND still have almost enough money left over for Gringotts. All of which are way better designed IMO (and have a ton more pieces as well). 

I just couldn't justify spending that much money for what I consider a rather half-baked system with several noteworthy omissions. Granted all the previous ones were half-baked as well, but they were also a lot cheaper overall.

You'd be over $200 USD shy of getting Gringotts and that doesn't account for inflation. The microscale castle would be $110 USD more expensive if it came out in 2024. DA $30 USD more (taking into account its price adjustment mid-life). So basically you could get DA and the microscale Hogwarts instead.

Also $413 of the castle is outside the 3 main additions which match the silhouette of the microscale version. So if you really think about it, you are getting a playscale castle that is slightly larger with a ton of mini-figures for $130 USD more.

What are the three bigfigs? I can only think of the troll and hagrid

Troll, Fluffy and, I suppose, Basilisk.

I think the ground floor will probably be the Library and the Girl’s Bathroom. The library is the last major section of the first two books we haven’t got. They could maybe even squeeze in the Enemies of the Heir Beware hallway here. Then there’s a whole second floor and space not only behind the turrets and maybe even between them? I’m very curious to see what else they could include here because there’s not much Chamber of Secrets left to pull from besides maybe Lockhart and Snape’s office. DADA likely won’t get remade since it’s already done. Astronomy I could see a Telescope in one of the towers like you said. This could get interesting and be the first big set to span multiple movies.

Was hoping for a bigger chamber, but based on the description, it seems that is what we can expect. So far happy we are getting a new Basilisk, the last one didn´t really look good to me.

Interesting facts, especially wouldn´t have guessed we actually got that many minifigs. Well, obviously there are some repeats in there, especially with the trio, but stil would have probably guessed a lot less.

We have to see how close that built really is to the final model. Personally it looks really bad compared to what they did with the Main Tower or the Great Hall, so I think it is just a very rough and basic model of what we are getting.

To keep the comparism fair though, Gringotts and Diagon Alley are both exclusive so unless you bought them on discount, which most people certainly didn´t your only real discount were insiders points and a GWP. The Hogwarts System (aside from Flying lessons, which is also exclusive) can be bought at much bigger discounts, so you will end up spending way less than 1k €

While we all can open a new thread for 2026, it's just up to moderator pinning it at the top of the forum. And it's some time I don't see the moderator that usually do it for Harry Potter.

You have also to consider the door, I suppose. So the ground floor central part will likely be empty. Girl's Bathroom could be on ground zero, it would be logic, if LEGO put a play feature connecting it with the underground Chamber of Secrets. At this point, maybe the ground zero could also be the location for the hallway.

Yea good point about the door. Using the Main Tower as reference since it’s the same length as the East Wing, I’d assume it’s the Blood Wall with Ms. Norris at the same spot as Fluffy’s Corridor is, then the door, then the Girl’s Bathroom in the place of the first portion of the staircase. Though seeing the drop feature of the $1000 Death Star, I hope they engineered a way to do it from a higher evaluation and not just from the floor above (highly unlikely hope of mine). Second floor would be ideal since it’s where it’s actually located in Hogwarts.Library would likely be on the second floor central part if they want to do it justice and which leaves the turrets on the other sides as empty and the top turrets empty as well.

I think that if the set will have Lockhart, his office could be part of the set. And Library could have also a restricted section. Maybe there could be something Astronomy related (if there won't be an Astronomy Tower set). For what I remember, there's not something else missing from CoS or PS. So any other location could came from following movies (Divination?).

[BrickBob Studpants]

So, what are we expecting besides the Bloody Baron?

• The Great Hall featured the trio, Dumbledore, Quirrell, Vector, the Fat Friar, Terry, Daphne, and Leanne.
• The Main Tower included the trio, Dumbledore, Prof Kettleburn, Nick, Neville, Percy, Dean, Ernie, Lisa, and Markus.

The pattern thus seems to be the trio, Dumbledore, at least one teacher, a house ghost, and at least one student from each house. With the Bloody Baron now rumoured, that's one down, 8 more to go (since there's no way the trio isn't included). The teacher kinda has to be Lockhart (hopefully with a new costume variant and not just an update of the 2021 one), the Hufflepuff student is probably Justin again, Slytherin is probably represented by Crabbe and Goyle, no clue who the Ravenclaw student could be, Dumbledore is probably featured again (hopefully with one of the remaining PS/CoS costumes if there even are any left at this point), Tom is kinda necessary too, and probably Myrtle as well. No Filch though in that case, and he kinda has to be there if Mrs Norris is... Of course polyjuicing Harry and Ron would free the Crabbe & Goyle spots, making room for Filch and perhaps McGonagall, since she hasn't been in any of the big castle sets lately. Or Pomfrey, just to rub it in

My prediction is thus the trio (with polyjuiced Ron & Harry), Dumbledore, McGonagall, Lockhart, Myrtle, Tom Riddle, Justin, random Ravenclaw student, and Filch. Let's see how many I got right

Perhaps the Dumbledore could be a monochrome version for the ‘50 years ago’ scene, with Tom, young hagrid. The scene with Aragog in a box could be one of the rooms of the castle section
