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?

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.

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 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. 

[BrickMatit]

Nice to see that we guessed a lot

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. 

[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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
