Gryffindor Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Did we ever determine which Patronuses will be included in the new sets? I think we know Harry’s stag will be in the Expecto Patronum set and Ron’s dog in the Knockturn Alley set (based on the sketches). Was there any word on what might be included in the East Wing or any other sets? Quote

Was there any word on what might be included in the East Wing or any other sets? Nothing was shown in the East Wing leak, but since it was clearly an incomplete sketch we can probably still expect one there. The East Wing is almost certainly going to be Ginny’s Horse based on the other present characters not having patronus forms + the golden trio’s already being accounted for. 76478 is a big mystery, but given that Snape’s famous Doe hasn’t shown up yet it seems highly likely that it will show up there. It’s not impossible that the Hogwarts Herbology Plants and Norbert: Hagrid’s Baby Dragon sets could include something like the Cauldron: Secret Potions Class included Hermione’s Otter, but it seems more likely that they’ll skip the gimmick like the large Ford Anglia set did. When the 20th anniversary did the golden minifigures gimmick, Lego included three in the Icons D2C, so people have also been speculating that this year’s Ministry of Magic D2C will have some patronuses. The strongest contender there is Dumbledore’s Phoenix, both because his duel with Voldemort would be a central part of an OotP Ministry, and because the new flying Fawkes mold seemingly introduced in the East Wing set is practically begging to pull double duty as Dumbledore’s patronus. If history repeats itself and more than one patronus turns up in the D2C, other candidates would be Kingsley’s Lynx, Arthur’s Weasel, and Tonks’s Wolf (with an outside chance of Umbridge’s Cat) Quote

The D2C is almost certainly coming with Dumbledore’s Phoenix if it participates in the patronus gimmick. Potential patronus doubles in Umbridge or Tonks would only appear if Lego decided to give the Ministry D2C a trio of patronuses like the 20th anniversary Hogwarts Icons had golden minifigures. That said, if we did get a double as the third patronus in that situation, I’d expect it to belong to Tonks. Umbridge doesn’t appear in the OotP final battle (not even to witness the end, like Fudge) and I feel like it makes more sense to prioritize including minifigures of Ministry workers who are also Order members who can run to the kids’ rescue in the DoM. As far as patronuses goes, that means Kingsley, Arthur, and Tonks, and since the former two would both be new molds, Lego could easily chose to save on costs with a double in the hypothetical third slot.

Lego won't include duplicate collectible patronuses and both Tonk's and Umbridge's are already done. If they want multiple in the set, Arthur's weasel would be a possibility. I think they stick with just 1 for that reason. Either form of Fawkes would work for Dumbledore and be desirable. Quote

I can definitely see it just being Dumbledore’s Phoenix, and that would still be very popular. But the trio of golden figs in the Hogwarts Icons set does given me hope that we could possibly get the ideal scenario of Dumbledore’s Phoenix and Kingsley’s Lynx and Arthur’s Weasel. And if two new animal molds is too expensive, I can’t see a trio of Phoenix, Lynx, and second Wolf (or Hare/Jackrabbit) deterring any potential buyers (especially if it means getting Tonks in her Ministry battle outfit).

Especially since the current Lego horse can rear just like Ginny’s patronus does in the OotP movie. Yes, that means that Ginny’s patronus will need several more recolors than the others, but considering just how massive and expensive the East Wing is going to be, having the included patronus be visibly more substantial is a sensible choice – potential buyers might feel cheated if the anniversary patronus from the flagship set is the same size as the one from the Hospital Wing, after all.

The last Chamber of Secrets set was the flagship playset during the golden figures promotion and it got Voldemort. The other playset ones were Quirrell, Snape and the trio. Not sure that they dedicated a particularly popular or special one for that playset even though it was the most expensive. It did get leg printing though. It still makes most sense for it to be Ginny's horse and the mold isn't unique so a one-off color shouldn't be too cost prohibitive in Lego's budgeting framework. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Ginny’s horse patronus is definitely a good candidate for the East Wing, but I’m not so sure about it being the adult horse piece. It’s quite bulky and the rearing-up function might be tricky for the type of plastic used for satin pieces The foal piece is definitely more likely. Also would be pretty funny to have a rideable horse in that particular set Imagine the play scenarios! Harry and Ron storming the CoS atop their fancy ghost steed! Lockhart losing his memory thanks to a horsekick to the dome! The Bloody Baron terrorising Hogwarts on horsesaddle! Horsegirl Myrtle! Quote

The golden minifigures didn’t have quite the same problem since minifigure themselves are roughly the same size – though it is worth noting that the 2021 Chamber of Secrets featured an adult golden fig instead of one of the trio, with their short legs and repeated torsos. The patronuses, on the other hand, vary wildly in size, so it’s much more likely that buyers will have thoughts on how big they are in relation to the other patronuses and the sets they come in.

Maybe. So far: $120 set - jack russell. $100 set - wolf. $90 set - hare. $60 set - otter. $15 set - cat. I would group the otter, cat, and hare is the same size category and they are in a wide range of priced sets. The dog looks to be similar in size to the wolf and in similar priced sets. If Fawkes was with Dumbledore in the Ministry of Magic it would be just a tad larger than the wolf and dog. For the golden mini-figures the better comparison is unique molds/prints. The trio had 2 each, McGonagall 4, Dumbledore 5, and Hagrid/Quirrell/Snape/Voldmort 3. Snape was in a $130 set, Voledmort a $150 set, and Quirrell a $30 set. Just a blurry box image leak would resolve this question. 14 days from set reveals at a minimum. Quote

RODDY Posted April 18 Posted April 18 (edited) I think this might be the most painful leak season for Lego Harry Potter ngl…Seeing Shrek, Minecraft, Fortnite, Star Wars, Ninjago all dropping sets it’s hurting me man. Edited April 18 by RODDY Quote
ThoBru Posted April 18 Posted April 18 What is the consensus on set 76478? Will it actually be a released set this summer? What will it be? Quote

So far, that it will be an exclusive set and people are hoping for a minifig-set preferably with a castle module. Release should be together with the other sets of the Summer wave. Quote
mark1991t Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Unibricks on Instagram has 4 new Harry Potter sets online. Hogwarts Crest, Dobby/Kreacher, Forbidden Forrest and Knockturn Alley. Quote
ThoBru Posted April 19 Posted April 19 A small glimpse of the East Wing and, I think, 76478. Which seems to be Dumbledore's Office Source: https://www.public.gr/product/kids-and-toys/lego/harry-potter/lego-knockturn-alley-wizarding-shops-76471/2121950 Quote
BrickMatit Posted April 19 Posted April 19 The misterious set seems to be a Dumbledore's office book nook. Unfortunately no East Wing clear images... @RODDY we have to suffer a bit more . Quote
mark1991t Posted April 19 Posted April 19 But that images gives us a clear view of the new patronuses. The phoenix is a existing piece and I think the other one should be the doe. Quote
BacktoBricks Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Disappointed that the mysterious slot is another book nook, but good to see Sirius get his leg printing back and I believe a new face print in the Expecto Patronum set. Really hope the East Wing leaks soon! I'm guessing that the East Wing patronus will be the doe then and the phoenix will come with the book nook. Quote

I’m kinda thinking the doe and phoenix might both come in the book nook and nothing in the east wing. If the book nook is Dumbledore’s Office, it’s probably the scene where Snape says “Always”, and it makes sense his patronus would be there then. And since I don’t believe Dumbledore appears in the east wing set but he would appear in his office, his phoenix would probably come there with him. Though that would be a big bummer to not get a Patronus in the east wing. But since the owner of each patronus comes in the sets with the patronus, I don’t see any way for the doe or Phoenix to be in the east wing. I guess we’ll have to wait for official pictures to know for sure! but these new molds look awesome! Is the dog an existing mold, or is it new? Quote
