Wizarding World 2026 - Rumors & Discussion

[BrickBob Studpants]

4 sets, 4 patroni, Ockham’s razor.

[RODDY]

For admittedly brazenly selfish reasons, I am rooting for the Doe Patronus to be in the East Wing so I don’t have to go spend another $130 on a book nook which is a type of set I’ve never been a fan of or track it down on the secondary market. 
The doe is my favorite of the new bunch of Patroni and I want one. Already planning to pick up both the East Wing and Knockturn Alley Day 1, so I don’t need to spend more money on a set that I’ll only want the Patronus. But ngl Deathly Hallows themed office with the tiles reading After All This, Always would be a pretty neat.

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.

Ginny’s horse appears in the OotP film during the DA patronus lesson scene (in fact, I think Ginny has the dubious honor of being the only character whose patronus is known purely because of the movies – Luna’s hare was introduced in the same scene but was later confirmed in the Deathly Hallows book).

Kingsley’s patronus also appears in the movies – but only in the glowing ball version the filmmakers seem obsessed with resorting to instead of proper corporeal patronuses. It does properly appear as a Lynx in the original book, with Arthur’s weasel making its own appearance shortly after. 
 

It’s kind of funny that you mention only patronuses that were shown in the movies and books being a possibility though. You see, there are only four characters with known patronuses who don’t have their forms shown in the books (five if you count the original form of Tonks’s) – Lupin only casts a non-corporeal patronus in the story, with Pottermore revealing his wolf much later, Dumbledore has an in universe blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment in the GoF book which was only revealed to be a messenger patronus in the shape of a phoenix in a later interview iirc, and the Weasley twins’ matching magpies were revealed on twitter. Of course, the former two are already confirmed to be part of the anniversary patronus lineup.

I said, or better, wrote, that I´d guess it seems the most likely to me, going from there to everything else is not possible is quite a far stretch ;).

Based on what is known the most, the horse would seem to be the most likely option actually, I am just not sure they would would make it - not actually because of its size, but more because it is assablemd out of several parts, though the stag is too in the end, so who knows.

The book nook could have minifig parts in the wall pictures I think so the minifig count is higher than 2

My guess is that the D2C have at least one patronus, but could be more. That is the collectible items this year so makes sense for them to use some budget on them and include them in "every" set.

I agree, but where is the doe and where is the phoenix remains to be seen.  A flying Fawkes should be included with the chamber of secrets, if so they probably did not use much budget on the phoenix patronus anyway if we get both

[...] 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. [...]

and as @Accio Lego pointed out "Assuming there is only one – as we’ve discussed before, the Hogwarts Icons set did include three golden minifigures." 

I know I had purchased sets I might not have if it weren't for the collectible golden minifigures in the 20th anniversary series, pleased to have gotten them all, only to have them put three in the D2C I was never going to buy. I'm still satisfied with myself that I didn't let that coax me into its purchase, but annoyed with lego that they continued the series past what seemed to be the end point like that with no prior notification. Maybe I'm still salty, but I fully expect them to do it to us again. 😕 

As for Harris / Gambon Dumbledores... two possibilities I haven't seen discussed (but may have missed), this could also just be a preliminary piece of advertising and the Dumbledore minifig might not be the final version, or this could be another one of those AI errors we've seen creeping in to their print work in recent years. I think the likelihood of both of these possibilities increases because the "phoenix" Patronus also feels sort of off in this shot. If it isn't the Dreamzzz raven, it doesn't feel distinct enough to have been worth this as a new mould, and if it is, it's a strange choice, especially as a flying Fawkes has such an important appearance in the CoS and the two pieces could have justified doing it properly.

Its looks like there is an attachment where minifigure hands can clip below the tail of the new flying phoenix. The existing dreamzzz raven doesn't have that. That and the already mentoined differences.

Hope that’s true, and if so, that they provide bar pieces to recreate the scene of Fawkes carrying everyone out of the CoS

Yooo be soooo sick, everyday I think I couldn’t get more excited about the East Wing and then I see something magic like this and I get more pumped by the possibilities.

And here I am checking this page too often and just hoping the next new message is "Official images have leaked" and then being disappointed they haven't.

Going to be hard to wait till September to buy the set, but worth it to easily get the HP GWP.

Yea I get that and I was feeling kinda antsy till the Knockturn Alley and East Wing exterior leaked which are enough to hold me over in the homestretch till the official reveal. Just seeing how they did such a great job with both, I’m feeling pretty good rn going into the official reveal. And stuff like a Petrified Ms. Norris and a new mold for Flying Fawkes which weren’t entirely necessary but is a great bonus, I’m trusting Lego has cooked some gourmet stuff with the East Wing. It’s just one more week, we got this! (The wait for actually owning the East Wing in August, that’s going to be brutal, but one step at a time!)

Even though I think it would be very unlikely, because it would eat a lot parts and probably wouldn´t even look good, it would certainly be nice to get minifigures for Black and Dippet.

I mean I wouldn´t rule it out completely, but the Hogwarts Icons Set was a big D2C whereas the booknook is a smaller one - and we got for sets and four patroni on that picture.

In my opinion the golden figures were perfectly fine, because nobody "needs" them. Making patronus moulds exclusive collecting objects in some cases only available in unrelated non-minifig scale display pieces worthless for play would be morally wrong towards kids and casual fans.

Well, the current rumors are that this year’s D2C is minifig scale instead of a buildable object collection, so that argument is kinda moot

If that is correct it makes it even more likely Fawkes comes in the Hogwarts set (patrunus could come there or the D2C maybe)

Waiting for the East Wing to leak has been agony! I’m also very curious about the Dumbledore’s Office book nook, but there would have to be something really special and unique about it to make me spend $130 on it considering I have the Main Tower set that has a good enough version of the office.

 

Is the general consensus that May 2nd (Battle of Hogwarts day) is the official reveal date? If that’s the case, we might not even get those leaks at this point because that’s only like a week away!

You mean like the doe (if it is included of course)?

Essentially 😂

Just something fresh because we’ve already seen Dumbledore’s Office so many times, so having it be the Deathly Hallows scene would be so interesting.

THREE MORE DAYS, GIVE IT UP FOR THREE MORE DAYS TILL THE EAST WING IS REVEALED!!!!!!!

I don't think we can argue that anyone "needs" most of the Patronuses either, especially not if lego do actually go the route that includes something like Ginny's horse in one of these sets. Most of the Patronuses barely feature at all, a couple that do weren't even shown in the films, we don't even have the wedding tent / celebration as a set, so if we're thinking of it in terms of re-enacting scenes, surely that must be the more significant roadblock than the existence (or not) of a Patronus.  

That said, I think the stag and doe are the most significant of the bunch, and while it's nice that the stag is in an affordable playscale set, it will be annoying if the doe is gated behind a pricey set that isn't part of the castle. As decisions go, that is very much in keeping with putting a full third of the collectible golden minifigs and their display stand in an expensive D2C art build, however.

Maybe four if it's May 2nd.  Have we ever had a set have proper images leak before the official reveal? As in, not just outline drawings or blurry background photos, but the box art etc.

Lego is a for-profit company so there goal is to sell as many sets as possible, so locking the doe behind the $130 book nook isn't unexpected or unfair in my opinion. Sure it would be nice to get in a cheaper set, but its the same reason certain rare mini-figures end up in expensive sets. There needs to be a reason to buy those sets and it is often easier to include a desirable mini-figure or in this case patronus.

So far the new wolf patronus is going for $7 USD on Bricklink 4 months into availability with 215 available. If the doe is in a $130 set, I would expect it to go for around $10-15 USD and have plenty of stock. Oddly the otter has less inventory and a similar price even though it comes in a way cheaper set.

Well, often when retailers put them online to early, yes. And sometimes leakers do at the day of reveal or one day before, not to mention it happened a few times already, that someone found a set on shelves somewhere before it was official revealed.

In general, those pics leak constantly, we just had one for the HERBIE set 20 minutes ago

As for HP, they also leak that way pretty much every year. 2022 was a rare exception where the early official reveal caught everyone by surprise, seemingly even the leakers!

Thank you both. Ironically though, what I actually meant to say was have we ever NOT had a set leak. I missed the crucial word out there (very disturbed sleep last night, probably shouldn't be typing haha). But I think both your answers just show what I was thinking anyway in that I think this East Wing is being very elusive compared to normal standard! 2022 was clearly an exception and you also have a great memory because I can't distinguish each reveal year like that. Kudos to you!

And I just saw that Herbie leak for an Aug 1st release and was really hoping some more scrolling would show me East Wing images, but alas not.
