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.

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.

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. 

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.

Since 2022, Lego has added 1 more non-18+ buildable figure/monster/plant set, to now 5 in 2025.

They clearly sell.

Somewhere it was stated that they would connect somewhere in the final Hogwarts, so very likely on the Eastwing. Though basically it would just be in the training grounds so it will probably just get a connection somewhere on the side on the build

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why we haven’t migrated to a 2026 forum yet? I’m not sure how that works or who is in charge of that, but I figure it’ll happen sometime soon.

I think it is more to do with the success of Botanicals, they have started making sets with flowers in several other themes now.
I think HP do a much better job at releasing something new every year compared to SW, that get new movies/series all the time (even if most of it is subpar) and still things they have not made after all these years from the original movies

No, maybe the Mod is out with the cold or similar, previously it has happened on 1 of January I think 

[BrickMatit]

@Gryffindor I suppose any of us can open a new thread for 2026, but it's up to an administrator to pin it in the upper part of forum and transfer the last 6 pages messages from here to there. Or maybe it's just better to modify the title of this thread into 2025/2026.

This thread was opened by @Clone OPatra but maybe in these days  he is busy in other things.

I don’t deny that, but Hedwig, Dobby, Buckbeak et al. are clearly more iconic than …plants  They’ll probably sell well given how popular the Botanical theme is, but it’s a pretty niche idea regardless.

Not sure if I agree. Both themes are comparable when it comes to the classics they keep reheating, mixing in new stuff, neglected movies, overrepresented movies, and an increased focus on buildable objects and figures  HP also has plenty of scenes that have never been released as a set.

Why? It's not for me but at least it's something different - less for LEGO (Botanicals are spreading through the themes like weeds) but at least somewhat for HP. Personally I'd rather they focused on playsets, but since that's apparently out of the question I'd rather have some new plants than even more buildable Hedwigs and remakes of That Damn Car.

Also still wondering when we'll be due another Hogwarts Express. Maybe that's what the unconfirmed rumour for 76478 is about?

I see them holding off on the next HE till the series comes out. Its play a large role in the first movie.

[brickbride]

That would make a lot of sense. But if so why would they have retired the old one with a year to go instead of extending its EOL date till 2026?
