Wizarding World 2026 - Rumors & Discussion

Umbridge office at Hogwarts hasn't been done in minifigure scale again. 

The one-eyed witch statue is seen in the first movie, when Filch chases the trio and they see Fluffy for the first time.

Oh? I thought it marked the secret passage between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade and thus only appeared in PoA

[mark1991t]

Yeah. That scene did not appear in the movie. But the statue did, just not in the 3rd.

Interesting! So they included it in PS as an easter egg / foreshadowing, and didn’t follow up on it in PoA  Whoops.

Some more thoughts on the sets:

• Kinda funny we now have two minifigs for a character from a deleted scene, this time with new prints even!
• So many HBP Rons, and still no DH version, huh.
• Hermione’s torso is in the new warm pink it seems!
• I initially planned to build Kreacher, but the builds are different enough from each other and the 2023 version that I’ll get two copies.
• PoA Sirius gets yet another recolour for his coat  First dark grey, then light grey, and now sand blue. Make up your minds!

In the patronus image on the very far right we see Lockhart. Can't tell if its peach or the new warm pink, but it also seems to have a cape which is a good sign.

So glad some of you have good eyes. All I see is a pinkish blur.

Kinda funny they introduced two new colours this year that would both work really well for Lockhart  If they remake Flourish & Blotts as part of the DA modular sets, they should include a blue violet version of his minifig from the D2C set!

While I like the idea of including D2C minifigs in cheaper sets so everyone can enjoy such a gorgeous minifig, there’s a part of me that still wants to see a more accurate and more blue version of him in a potential Flourish & Blott’s. I think there were discussions about how his robes looked in the movie and in certain lights it looks blue or violet. But in the book the robes are described as Forget Me Not Blue, most likely based on the flower species given Lockhart’s link to other floral colors like Lilac.  Forget Me Nots are a very vibrant blue shade so I’d love to see them take a stab at that and give us more variety in the Lockhart wardrobe.

I can finally access Eurobricks again!

And naturally the first set pics dropped while I was locked out…

The four sets we’ve got proper pictures of look great, although I’ll personally be skipping the Hogwarts Crest and House Elves. 
 

I have mixed feelings about 76487 being another book nook – mainly because book nooks and I have a contentious relationship (they’re cute, but what kind of person has bookshelf real estate to spare for that?). I reserve further judgement until we get a proper look. 
 

The new dog mold for Ron’s patronus is adorable – can’t wait to see it recolored as a real dog. The Doe and flying Phoenix were expected, although I didn’t expect them both alongside the East Wing and 76487, simply because I didn’t think the East Wing had either Dumbledore or Snape in it! Clearly, the Minifigure lineup we got from leakers is a bit off. 
 

On the subject of the flying phoenix – I do think we’re still getting it in red and yellow in the East Wing. The leaks we have specifically show it in that color, and Fawkes is rather critical to have in the scene for story telling reasons (Harry dies multiple times over without him there). It’s really odd to me that so many people are acting like the patronus phoenix excludes the possibility of regular Fawkes, when there’s a long list of animal molds that debuted in multiple different colors in the same wave and even the same set.

Agree we are getting both a regular Pheonix and a patronus Phoenix. Still confused on what set its coming in though, but the Doe makes more sense in the book nook if it includes a Gambon Dumbledore. The leaked image though has a Harris Dumbledore.

My opinion on the book nook is mixed. Really wanted another true playset, but diaromas are something HP hasn't really visited but allows the opportunity for better detailed interiors. Even the blurry leaked image looks way more detailed than what came in the Main Tower. Plenty of space of the Penseive, sorting hat, the balcony, and so many other things. I might end up buying it mainly for the Doe patronus, but seems a great opportunity to recreate the scene of Dumbledore's arrest which I don't expect to be included but I have Kingsley, the Minister, Dolores, etc...

I actually didn´t get the impression that many really think so and it wouldn´t make much sense anyways. Wouldn´t be surprised to see the old fawkes version in the Booknook though, which would mean we could get four different versions of the phoenix this year. Normal mould, flying, patronus and reborn.

A normal one would make more sense than a patronus so hopefully we get both

Did not think about the book nook should have Fawkes as well So is off course possible that it is "Dumbledores arrest" and the patronus comes there and the doe is in the big set with a normal flying Fawkes. If the book nook still is Snape with the doe a flying Fawkes as well would be generous

Oh dang so there’s a new cat leak and CMF6169 is saying it is indeed a petrified Ms. Norris!  Man this East Wing is really going all out on the animal molds and I’m so here for it! Man if this comes with the Blood Wall too it’s going to be so wizard dude. Bring on the macabre!

That means the mystery fig has to be Filch then  Also, nice to see the fluffy cat piece in a new colour!

But then how is there either a Doe or Phoenix patronus in this set? Lockhart doesn't have a confirmed patronus, Tom Riddle can't produce one, I don't think they would give the Bloody Baron or Moaning Myrtle one, Ginny's is a horse, we already have the trio's and Draco's is never confirmed or rumored to not be able to produce one.

I'd rather they just include Mrs. Norris and skip Filch since they already did him once this modular wave and he really isn't a big enough character for a repeat.

Honestly I would prefer Filch over another Snape who is already perfected with the arm printing and is still very easily available on shelves in cheap sets and yet another Richard Harris Dumbledore who is also very easy to get. Filch at least is not in any sets currently available on shelves and has showed up less than those two.

Speaking of Mrs Norris and Filch, apparently a new cat colour and print just dropped with very similar features or looks to Mrs Norris.

She looks great, and now I’m feeling much better about us getting a proper Crookshanks one day (although sadly not this year). 
 

And the sketch CMF6169 leaked of the East Wing clearly shows a corridor area with proper walls between the bathroom and DADA classroom, so I think there’s a high chance we do finally get the bloody wall in minifig scale. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

I’m well aware that the patroni so far came in sets that also featured the respective character, but MAN am I sick of Snape and Harris Dumbledore minifigs  Can’t they at least give Snape a new set of facial expressions or something?

Best case, it’s Gambledore in the book nook with the phoenix patronus and Snape in the East Wing with the doe patronus.

I mean, there’s a very specific scene in Dumbledore’s Office with the Doe patronus that features a well known quote and would also feature Gambon Dumbledore – so that’s a distinct possibility considering the book nook is clearly including quotes again. 
 

(It would mean Harris Dumbledore in the East Wing, but so long as there was something different in the book nook…)

 

On a related note – the fact that previous leaked minifigure lists from the East Wing have never included either Dumbledore or Snape is confusing. I realize the lifestyle shot with four patronuses in front of the summer wave’s four minifigure sets is rather explicit, but do we think there’s any possibility of an error of some sort? Like the phoenix being from the D2C or the book nook having two, while the East Wing actually features Ginny’s horse? 

[krimimimi]

I don't think the very blurry shot of the East Wing means the Patronus has to be from it. It's further out of focus than the other sets. I could absolutely see them including two Patronuses in the book nook to help make it more of a draw. As is, we're not really getting it on sale, and it's less of a must have, because you don't "need" it to complete your already very pricey castle.  

The EW could just be decorative, like the bookshelf, or the Phoenix Patronus could be in the EW with Fawkes and no Dumbledore. It's not like it's a rule that we have to have the caster. Or we get a Dumbledore there too. Plus if they went with Harris in one and Gambon in the other, suited to the scenes, that would also help with the appeal for collectors.

I agree with this. It is clearly 4 sets and 4 patronuses, but Expecto Patronum is kind of blocking the East Wing making it seem more like a background piece. We haven't yet had a set include two patronuses, but the book nook might since it will have a low mini-figure count for its price.

Also the book nook only showing a Harris Dumbledore confuses things because the Doe scene is Gambon Dumbledore. I would very much expect Lego to include Gambon in both the Book Nook and Ministry of Magic set since designers can only create so many new mini-figures this year (McGonagall and Malfoy were reuses in Hogsmeade, Katie Bell kind of). Resurrecting the Gambon mold for his hair piece takes budget, so why not use it multiple times. So I'm hoping for two Dumbledores, Snape, and Harry so you can display two different scenes.

To me it looks like all the buildings are placed next to each other and either the east wing has just a little gap because of the bridge or because the Patronus scene was sitting there for an other shot and they just placed it where it is on the photo because it fits for the scene with the patronus. That beeing said, to me it seems unlikely they would either have no Patronus in the east wing or not shot it together with the others.

I think the most likely option is that the doe is in the booknook, if it really shows the scene with snape while the eastwing has fawkes because he is included in the set. What is still left is the question if the ministy will have one included too and if so, which one.

Assuming there is only one – as we’ve discussed before, the Hogwarts Icons set did include three golden minifigures. 
 

As for candidates – Kingsley’s Lynx and Arthur’s Weasel are still strong contenders, and if the set is indeed OotP based then Ginny’s Horse could show up there if it’s not in the East Wing. Plus, well, as problematic as she is, the author isn’t literally dead yet – there’s nothing stopping her from telling Lego what Neville’s or Mad-Eye’s patronuses are if asked (I’d have expected it to happen before now, but there’s nothing stopping it).

I´d guess the most likely is something actually seen in the films - or at least mentioned in the books. However, I am still not sure they would make a horse, as cool as it would be. But yeah, would surprise me if there is none included at all.
