Slytherin Common Room, so one male and one female student should be a must

It should be noted that the only Hufflepuff student in the Great Hall was Leanne and the only Ravenclaw student in the Hospital Wing was Penelope Clearwater – so anything more than the bare minimum is not a ‘must’ in Lego’s pov.

I wouldn't expect much from the East Wing in terms of Chamber design given that it's said to only include a "small" chamber. You need enough room for it to have a certain grandeur.

Yeah it does sound like the Chamber may just include the Salazar Slytherin statue and not much else. I’m wondering if it might be a “slide out” build like the three challengers were in the main tower. 

Can’t say I'm too interested in the buildable sets but Knockturn Alley sounds pretty good. I like that they’re basing it off HPB this time.

Just the part with Slytherin statue head, in 2021 CoS, was 24 studs lenght and 8 studs width, while a single module is 16 studs length and 11 studs width. And there were also the access slide and, separately, the entrance to the Chamber.

So I don't think the new Chamber of Secrets will be impressive, also considering it's said to be a small one, likely having Slytherin Common Room occupying half of the underground section.

Looking at Lupin's class in Hospital Wing, I think that a module like this could be an interesting choice for LEGO. The central section with Slytherin statue and water and two snakes statue for each of the two side sections, so that when you slide out the module you can give the impression of a deeper set.

[Bobdapeach]

I'm looking forward to the East Wing, and I agree I don't think the CoS will be anything substantial. Poster above that said it might be a slide out, think they're right on the money. Makes me glad I picked up the previous CoS set! I always wanted to grab the OG from the 2000's and never did as a child. I would love a full scaled (modern) set where the chamber is the main build, tho I think the previous iteration is more than good enough for me. Looking forward to the new basilisk mould tho!

I think there’s a solid chance both the Chamber of Secrets and Slytherin common room will be the standard wider slide out modules we’ve been seeing in this version of the castle. I’m also expecting a fixed section for the slide down the chamber under Myrtle’s bathroom like the devil’s snare challenge in the Main Tower set. That would put the East Wing and around the same footprint as the Great Hall which sounds about right.

This would likely be the best thing, I suppose, to give the slide its own space and to avoid having just a hole as the passage under Myrtle's Bathroom.

Hovewer I think the structure would be disproportionate considering the entire castle. In the films, the Viaduct Entrance is as large as the Great Hall with the Entrance Hall, so to maintain the proportions, I think a plan with more than two modules might be too much.

[brickbride]

EDIT AFTER BRICKMATIT'S ANSWER: Never mind me, I stand corrected. I was wondering why the Main Tower would have a new Slytherin Quidditch torso for Marcus Flint of all people but it's been pointed out that the torso isn't new, just the combination with the hands. And here I though there might be Great Lego Quidditch Conspiracy LOL. ;-)

To make things even more baffling, we then had a Slytherin Quidditch mannequin in the playset QQS (also 2025). But it didn't use that torso, instead it used the old one from the Quidditch trunk.

Are the two torsos so different? Looking at them on Bricklink it seem the only difference is in hands colour that was Dark Brown in QQS and previous sets and Reddish Brown in the new one. It seems more like an inconsistency of colors:

- Gryffindor torso has always Dk Brown hands (2018-2024);
- Slytherin has Dk Brown hands (2018-2025), but Rd Brown in Main Tower (2025);
- Ravenclaw has Rd Brown hands in Diagon Alley and Polybag (2020-2023), but Dk Brown in Trunk (2023);
- Hufflepuff has Rd Brown in Diagon Alley and Cedric (2020-2021), but Dk Brown in Trunk (2023);

So both Slytherin (in 2025) and Ravenclaw (in 2023) use different hands in the same year.

And for Gryffindor jumper, it seems they changed the bright light orange with yellow. Likely someone in the designer team said: "Fools, it's yellow, not orange!" 

Quidditch is indeed missing from this castle. The last sets were in 2023: the Trunk - but one might argue that it is not really a (or half) Quidditch pitch - and Cho Polybag - with an entire very tiny pitch. Otherwise we'd have to go back to 2018.

Where was that person when they used bright light orange as a stand-in for gold on all the Moments books? ;-)

Which sets are you looking forward to buying? My answer is: none. I already own the old Expecto Patronum, and anything else is out of my price range or just not interesting to me.

I will likely pick up the Expecto Patronum set, Knockturn Alley and East Wing. Likely not all this year, but before they retire.

I didn't get the original EP set so happy to pick this one up. Especially with 123 more pieces I would expect some more detail/better fleshed out scenery.

Knockturn Alley is my first of the playset DA sets, and likely my only since I have the big DA and Gringotts, but for a location that hasn't yet been redone since the reboot truly (not counting the small GWP) its great.

East Wing is the only one I'm picking up this year and likely for Back to Hogwarts to align with a GWP if it exists. I've gone all in on this castle wave.

I'm pretty sure 4730 will forever be the definitive Chamber of Secrets set. (If by that you mean the Chamber as a location, not CoS as a book/movie.) The flagship set of the 2021 system did a good job overall but I can't really count it given that Myrtle's bathroom was a separate set you had to buy extra in order to make the slide function work; if you combine those two you'll come pretty close, though.

I wouldn't expect much from the East Wing in terms of Chamber design given that it's said to only include a "small" chamber. You need enough room for it to have a certain grandeur.

Yea I was more so talking about the movie/book rather than the Chamber itself. With the Slytherin Common Room and the Girl’s Bathroom which is basically a given with Myrtle included, you can reenact the entire Polyjuice heist. Fingers crossed for the Blood Wall as graphic as it could be. Library too would be great for the trio to investigate what monster lies in the Chamber. Throw in a Lockhart Office too. At this point I’ve come to terms that the 2002 Chamber of Secrets will likely be the definitive version of the set itself just for the sheer footprint it has. I really had hopes that if they were to do it in this system that they would use the entire bottom for it. But that’s not the case anymore as it’s a small Chamber so one of the bigger pullouts is the logical conclusion. I still think it could be good because of the depth that the pullouts have so you can put two snake statues in front of the statue of Salazar Slytherin but it won’t be the best. MicMacPadawan has a nice MOC of what I think it could look like.

East Wing for me is a Day 1 buy and initially the only set I was going to buy. I own all the non Hogwarts locations I truly need and this will probably be the last Hogwarts system I buy because it’s going to be the biggest in terms of scope and detail. Don’t think we will get another at this scale so this will be my definitive Hogwarts I keep on display. Buttttt the more I hear about Knockturn Alley, the more I’m tempted by it even if I can’t pair it with my D2C Diagon Alley. Also might be buying whatever the mystery 1182 piece is if it ends up being what I’m thinking it will be.

Disappointed with Lockhart because I just don't need 3 of him (Dueling, DA, and now East Wing) over other professors or students.

You’re right, you don’t need 3 of him. We need 7 of him!!  If any HP character needs that many versions, it’s Lockhart with all his costume variants, as @RODDY points out  

Besides, since this is a CoS set, I don’t even know what other professor they could’ve included that we haven’t seen before. I’d rather have a new costume for Lockhart than a repeat of Sinistra or Pince. And a random kitbashed student over Lockhart? Why?

Glad to see my prediction regarding the East Wing minifig selection has been true so far, even though this is probably one of the most easy-to-guess character selection ever

Lockhart is one of my least favorite characters (don't hate me). Yeah, he dresses the best and that gives a lot of possibilities, but just don't care for him too much.

I also don't have the old Sinistra or Pince so I'm fine with a repeat to get that instead of buying second hand. I'd be fine with a Grubbly-Plank or other offbeat professor, just don't care for Lockhart.

Grubbly-Plank only appears in OotP though, doesn’t she? The only missing professors we see in the movies are extras that still haven’t been connected to any book characters. Sure, the characters the minifigs of Sinistra, Vector, and Kettleburn are based on were initially random extras too before they were canonised, but there are few named professors from the books left anyway, like Prof Babbling. And the Carrows, if they count

Incorrect – we still haven’t got Professor Charity Burbage, who has a specifically cast actress and even lines in the movies, but was not included in Malfoy Manor for obvious reasons.

…right, I always forget about her!! But she indeed won’t ever be in a set, and for good reason. 

Who else did I predict to be in the East Wing again the other day, I think Hermione, McGonagall, Dumbledore, Ginny, Justin, and Tom Riddle? Let’s see how many of those I also got right  Kinda strange Hermione wasn’t mentioned in the recent leak, but if they intend to focus on the climax of the movie, it makes sense for her to be absent. Then again, the Bloody Baron being featured implies the Slytherin common room would be there, which in turn suggests the polyjuice scene could be represented. Myrtle being included could mean they depict the bathroom anyway, hitting two birds with one stone.  Maybe it’s cat Hermione again? ^^

If Kettleburn can show up in a SS set despite never even crossing paths with the trio even in the books, I see no reason that Burbage couldn’t be included as a random extra teacher in a castle set based off one of the first six movies.

New info via Unibricks:

Knockturn Alley second building is Potages Cauldrons. Minifigs are Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Narcissa, Fenrir, black witch and student 

East Wing rooms alongside Chamber is Slytherin Common Room, Lockhart’s DADA, Library, Girl’s Bathroom. Hermoine, Ginny, Draco alongside 3 other students.

Two DADAs in one system is certainly a choice but I can’t complain too much, more Lockhart content is always welcome.

I’m a little surprised that Potages Cauldrons is included because 1) it is in Diagon Alley, not Knockturn, and 2) it officially breaks the trend of including one of the next year’s shops on the sign of the previous year’s Diagon set as an Easter egg. Still, it looks like the minifig line up is decent, and we might get a new large cauldron piece. 
 

Based off the characters included, the Patronus for this set will be Ron’s Dog – he’s the only patronus caster there who hasn’t been done yet. 
 

It’s a relief to see that Myrtle’s bathroom isn’t going to be cut from the East Wing, and the inclusion of the library is welcome too. With the trio, Draco, Ginny, Lockhart, Myrtle, the Baron, and three unnamed students as the character line up – the most likely patronus for  this set is Ginny’s Horse. 
 

For those interested in the Herbology Botanicals set, Unibricks has also stated that buildable versions of Mimbulus mimbletonia and Venomous Tentacula. 
 

There’s also official confirmation that the Expecto Patronum set will have the same minifigures as the original and be compatible with the other recent Forbidden Forest sets.

I wasn't impressed with how Lupin's DADA classroom was represented, missing the staircase leading to the office. So I hope a second shot at it will fix that and they more accurately render the classroom and its office for Lockhart.

Yea many weren’t happy with Lupin’s DADA so it’s def a shot of redemption here (personally thought it was pretty good but the staircase could definitely be executed better). I just wish the designers would have just replaced Lupin’s with a Divinations Classroom since it’s the last classroom we are missing instead of giving us two DADAs. Especially if this the last Hogwarts expansion though I’m delusional and in denial holding out hope on the mystery set. But I can always just headcanon Lupin’s DADA as the office where he shows Harry Expecto Patronum, so it works out and I’ll never say no to more Lockhart and a better DADA.

So to recap the lineup is: basilisk + 12 minifigs (which isn't that much really - the last Chamber of Secrets from 2021 had 11 figs + basilisk and cost EUR 120 less): Bloody Baron, Myrtle; Harry, Ron, Hermione; Ginny, Draco; Lockhart; 3 other students. Unless the basilisk counts as a minifig, there should be one other, and Tom Riddle is the most noteworthy omission (he was in both the 2002 and 2021 Chambers).

I'm glad to see (hopefully Cat-Headed) Hermione and also Draco. I don't expect more than one Slytherin among the other students, if that. (Colin and Justin are likely choices.) Also this means that we'll likely get no Pomfrey (which was always a long shot), Pince, Filch, or other teacher.

I agree that it's weird of them to call it "Knockturn Alley shops" and then only include a single Knockturn Alley shop. But I expect the second shop to be a cheaply made afterthought (like the Owl Post Office in WWW or Madam Malkin's with all the stickered panels) so I wouldn't expect much from it no matter what they picked.

Divination in the dungeons wouldn't have been so great either. But I can't understand why they don't include it in the East Wing. Like I've said before, all you really need to do is cram a crystal ball into one of the towers and add Trelawney to the line-up with a teacup in hand.

Also while I thought Lupin's DADA was really disappointing, I wouldn't call this redemption. Lupin's DADA is still the most boring possible iteration of that scene (no Snape Boggart), and while the East Wing presumably includes the pixies, Lockhart would have to have been included anyway because of the Chamber so unless you're particularly attached to the idea of pixies you don't get anything new out of this.

Ooohhh I quite like your suggestion, absolutely brilliant so now I can keep my Boggart Snape and Neville firmly in place while not still being DADA. Thanks for the idea!

I mean we have a chance to get a more improved take of the architecture of the classroom itself, that imo is the biggest draw. Like a more elaborate staircase and maybe just maybe the dragon skeleton itself. Especially since it’s so tied with the pixies collapsing it, I think it would be a super neat play feature (yes I’m 28 years old but I still love my play features). Normally I wouldn’t count on the skeleton being included but I think there might be enough room this time, especially if it’s on the second floor which I’m guessing DADA will be. Man the more I talk about Lockhart’s DADA the more I get behind it…
