Gryffindor Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) My thoughts regarding patronuses for this wave: -76462: Hogwarts House Symbol (14+, 542 pcs.) - no patronus - 76469: Dobby the Free Elf (8+, 379 pcs.) - hopefully a playset with Lucius, Harry, Dobby, and Dumbledore. In that case, the patronus could be either Harry’s stag or Dumbledore’s Phoenix. - 76471: Knockturn Alley Shops (8+, 788 pcs.) - hopefully a HBP set, meaning it could include Harry and/or Ron and therefore either of their patronuses. There’s always a SLIGHT chance they include Arthur or Kingsley as Order members patrolling or something, which could give us their patronuses. Or Snape since he’s a death eater. But it’s most likely Harry or Ron. - 76473: Hogwarts East Wing (10+, 2164 pcs.) - I’d imagine Harry, Ron, Snape, and Dumbledore are all likely candidates to be in this set, so it could be any of their patronuses. I could also see Seamus being in this set and including his patronus, but I doubt they’d prioritize including his patronus over some other ones for more important characters. If it’s the Chamber of Secrets, maybe it’s Ginny and her horse? Or a slight chance of Cho and her swan. - 76474: Hogwarts Courtyard Plants (14+, 817 pcs.) - probably not a playset, so therefore no patronuses. For the other two sets, it’s too soon to tell, but I’d imagine one or both of them will have patronuses. If one’s an advent calendar, I could see them including a patronus as one of the days or include it with a minifigure. Edited January 8 by Gryffindor Forgot Snape! Quote
BacktoBricks Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I think this silhouette image from the back of the instruction booklets suggest what the East Wing will probably roughly be like. The rest of the castle parts match up pretty well so far. https://www.reddit.com/r/legoharrypotter/comments/1cows12/what_are_your_theories_about_the_new_wave_of/ Quote
RODDY Posted January 8 Posted January 8 My one hope though I’m not necessarily expecting it is that the Central Tower is included in the East Wing set. Would be a nice compromise if we end up not getting the Astronomy Tower and would be a good way to add more variety to the tower heights without The Main Tower dwarfing everything. Quote

Maybe the East Wing doesn't include the bridge and it will come with the Courtyard set? No idea if there is a courtyard with plants near any bridge :-D but I hope that set is for the Castle Edited January 8 by akaseim Quote

My unrealistic dream is that the Hospital Wing is the right hand side of the Viaduct Entrance and so the East Wing is the entrance, left hand side, and Astronomy tower. I'd buy two hospital wings in that case, one for the Viaduct entrance and one for behind the main tower. My only glimmer of hope on this is that balcony on the Hospital Wing makes no sense no matter how you connect it. Quote

I love Knockturn Alley but I hate the playset DA line, so I don't think I'll get it after all. By the way does anyone remember that GWP of B&B with the floo? Do you think there would be a way to incorporate that? It's a theoretical question for me because I don't own that one and won't pay aftermarket prices for it. The name (with "B&B" and a semicolon after it) had people wondering back then but It's been a while and we've never heard anything about it ever again. Well it is Lego, so you can of course include it if you want, but there won´t be a space for it to do so, else it would look very empty there. And likely everything shown in the GWP will be there anyways, in a different style of course. 15 hours ago, brickbride said: East Wing: Don't need that one either since I don't collect the new modular system. But I was pretty sure that any set including the Chamber of Secrets would actually be called "Chamber of Secrets" (an exciting, promising name) instead of something really dull like "East Wing". So I wonder if we'll even see it there. If we don't, though, that should be definitive proof that they're intending on carrying on with the system for more than three years since the Chamber is kind of an integral part of Hogwarts and unlike with certain towers that may or may not fit the silhouette there's really no excuse for not including it in this system. I would be surprised if they would skip the chamber, and actually also if there would be more next year, I really think we will be done with that wave - even if I would rather have another wave of this system than getting the next one. As for the name, I do agree that the chamber is the most iconic Part of this set (if included) but then again the chamber is just one part of the the set that you can´t even see from the outside, unlike the Main Tower or the Great Hall, so naming the Set after the Building rather than the Chamber actually makes sense to me, as East Wing with Chamber of Secrets is kinda long. 12 hours ago, Roebuck said: So only 1-2 sets that will include a patronus, that is less than I hoped. Hopelessly they will keep the collecting of them going over several years so we can get more animals I still think it is hard to predict how many we will get. I mean, Harrys is kinda a given and Rons is also quite likely I guess, so I would say two should be save. But without knowing what the Sets actually are, predictions are even harder and then they didn´t include one in the Motorbike Set but did in Lunas House. Then we also don´t know if we will be getting one in the September Set and actually the Adventscalendar could also possibly include one, even if the old one had no Golden Fig. 8 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said: Knockturn Alley and the big Hogwarts expansion should both include a patronus, and if Dobby is indeed a buildable figure, I expect one of the two unknown sets to be a playset. Maybe even both, since we also have the House Symbol and whatever the plant set is as buildable objects / creatures to fulfill the quota Moreover, the D2C set surely features a patronus too since the Hogwarts Icons set also tied into the anniversary. Thus I’m leaning towards at least 3 or 4 patroni this summer ^^ I thought we expect the Adventscalendar to be one of those two ;). But yeah, I think 3 to 4 seems a possible number. Quote
Virginia_Bricks Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Prices for 76462 Hogwarts Crest ($50 USD) and 76474 Hogwarts Courtyard Plants ($100 USD) came out this morning. That puts Courtyard plants closer to large castle section price per pieces than buildable figure/creatures. The only similar buildable figures/creatures were the Mandrake and Thestral Family (both 10+). Both 14+ sets currently, the new Anglia and the new House Crest set, are well below that price per piece. Quote

My only glimmer of hope on this is that balcony on the Hospital Wing makes no sense no matter how you connect it. I think you may actually be on to something here… I just finished building the Hospital Wing and the current suggested connection points to the Main Tower simply don’t work. The Ravenclaw common room section of the Hospital Wing set pushes into the balcony of the secondary tower in the Main Tower set causing friction / separation. I’ve seen people try to simply connect the two sets at the bottom connection point of the Hospital Wing but that doesn’t really work either. It makes that whole side of the castle feel awkward and off balanced somehow. It would make a lot more sense to me that - even if the Hospital Wing doesn’t end up as the right hand side of the Viaduct Entrance - that it is ultimately supposed to connect to the East Wing in some fashion and the marketing team just showed it connecting to the Main Tower for the time being since it was a January release and the East Wing doesn’t come out until August.

But eitherway whether it is an playset or buildable plants set, the name just makes no sense to me. If it were plants why would they name it courtyard plants then? Magical Plants would make much more sense. And if it is an actual playset showing one of the courtyards, the plants part makes no sense, so for me the translation error make most sense right now. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I think you guys are right and the Dobby set could actually be a remake of Dobby’s Release. The set has a similar piece count as the 2023 buildable Dobby, and so far, remakes of buildable figures mostly had a different scale to set them apart from their precursors. A same-scale remake only 3 years later would be quite silly Or maybe it’s a Shell Cottage set with his grave Quote
Virginia_Bricks Posted January 9 Posted January 9 2023 had 2 buildable sets, 2024 had 3, 2025 had 4, and 2026 has 2 so far (18+ excluded). Likely we get 4 and the Crests is the 3rd so one more to determine. The Cornish Pixie (2026), Fawkes (2025), Hedwig (2024), and Dobby (2023) are the affordable, small ones. The others have been between $50 - 80 USD. In total the sets have average right around $50 each year (2023 was $52.50, 2024 was $50, 2025 was $50.75, and 2026 is so far $53.33) That makes both Dobby and Courtyard plants different than before. Dobby would be another likely affordable set and Courtyard would be the most expensive non-18+ one. If its a buildable Dobby at $40 (seems fair with the last at $35) that brings the average down to $50 and total price and piece count similar to last year. If its a buildable plants set at $100, that brings the average up to $65 and a lot more pieces and cost than last year. For that reason, I'm concluding the Courtyard is a modular set and Dobby is another buildable creature (age ranges are the exact same). And honestly those are aimed at kids who in 3-4 years phase out of Lego (and then come back 10-15 years later) so there is a new wave to market to. The unknown non-advent calendar set is likely also a minifigure set. I'm guessing Courtyard, East Wing, Knockturn, and that set have patronuses. Harry's Stag will be in one, Dumbledore's Phoenix in another, Ron's Terrier in another, and the final will either be a Horse (Ginny), Doe (Snape), or Dog (Sirius). We haven't had Sirius since 2022 so he seems bound to show up soon, so what if the Courtyard set is his escape. That is also the only HP set to ever have Courtyard in its name. Quote

The scene did take place near one of the courtyards and would make sense with the piece count. A viaduct bridge with less than 400 pieces?

If anything you might have more luck with the still-unknown 76477 set (480 pieces). 9 hours ago, Virginia_Bricks said: Prices for 76462 Hogwarts Crest ($50 USD) and 76474 Hogwarts Courtyard Plants ($100 USD) came out this morning.

The House Crests might be DOTS-style with lots of 1x1 plates which would drop the price per piece significantly. If nothing else I'd expect them to use the brand-new willow leaves pieces (as seen for example in 11372) for a Willow build. 3 hours ago, Virginia_Bricks said: That makes both Dobby and Courtyard plants different than before.

I'd initially thought about the courtyard set being Sirius Black's Escape, but again, that would not make sense with the set being 14+. 14+ within the HP theme is pretty much shorthand for "buildable crap" and even the largest parts of the modular system are only 10+ (the East Wing continues the tradition), with the smaller ones being 8+. Therefore the courtyard plants pretty much have to be buildable plants IMO. The last buildable Dobby was 8+ so I guess "Dobby the Free Elf" could be buildable creature. But I really doubt it. First of all, the last one was already a free elf (he literally held the book with the sock in his hands). They're not going to give us Buildable Slave Dobby! Second, with the Potions Class retiring we now have exactly zero of the larger fold-out modules on shelves, so an 8+ set with a piece count of just under 400 pieces looks like a really plausible substitution. It's not the scene I personally would have chosen but they've already shown that a) LEGO for some reason hate giving us classrooms (the last system barely had any) and b) this system will remake the smaller, more obscure sets from 20+ years ago (Troll on the Loose, Chamber of Winged Keys, Sorting Hat); so the scene fits right in. My price predictions for the rest of the sets: Dobby - EUR 40 (like the Potions Class) or EUR 45 (if they jack up prices again) East Wing - at least EUR 250 Knockturn Alley - EUR 110 or EUR 120 76475 - EUR 35 to EUR 40 (advent calendar) 76477 - EUR 50 Edited January 9 by brickbride Quote

akaseim Posted January 9 Posted January 9 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. Quote
brickbride Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) 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.

BrickMatit Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) 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.

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. Quote

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??)

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. Quote

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) Quote

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.

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. Quote
