That said, we do have decent odds of getting a new fluffy Mrs. Norris in the East Wing. 

I am afraid you are right... to be honest I think the last one is perfectly fine and I wish the new fluffy cat would be used for Crookahanks but I guess it is likely part of the interior will be a big sticker with the writing on the wall an Mrs. Norris. The Kids love animals, new collectors do not have her, the sceene would fit perfectly with the chamber, girls bathroom and Slytherin Common room...

Kinda funny that we still haven‘t seen the hair & hat combo piece that was initially intended for Vidiyo in a HP set. It appeared in the Hocus Pocus set, D&D CMF, BAM, and now very likely in S30, but still hasn‘t been used for a random shopper or shopkeeper

You’re right, and I am rather irked that Lego didn’t make use of it for the shop attendant in Quality Quidditch Supplies – the Sprout hairpiece with the built in earmuffs just isn’t as versatile as they want to pretend it is.

I don’t see why a new Mrs. Norris is something to get glum about. Sure, the first version was great and I’d rather get a new Crookshanks, but with how big the East Wing is I’d be disappointed if it didn’t include the graffitied wall in minifig scale for the first time and Mrs. Norris to go with it. Think of it like the Snape minifigures – the 2018 version was excellent and the best we’d ever seen, but later versions with arm printing details were a delightful step up. Mrs. Norris is fluffy. Mrs. Norris is the first victim in CoS. Logically, an absolutely massive CoS set should include Mrs. Norris, and she should use the fluffy cat mold now that it’s available. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

I forgot, is the CoS theming of the East Wing set actually rumoured or is it mere speculation? If it‘s the former, what do you expect to see in the set? ^^

• The corridor with an updated Mrs Norris as some have suggested is a great idea! Pretty gruesome imagery if you can actually place her on the wall though  When I first saw the movie, I thought she was dead and it was her blood on the wall.
• A new Lockhart variant is a must! Though the Cornish Pixie set kinda confirms he‘s stuck with that hairpiece now.
• The polyjuice scene should be featured. They kinda have to include the bathroom, after all!
• In my view, the Basilisk can be reused as is. No notes.
• A new piece for a flying Fawkes would be neat!

The rumor stated there was a Chamber of Secrets. Theoretically it could be DH themed and not COS, but that would be a weird turn of events.

The only thing I truly want above ground is the Polyjuice Bathroom with a good play function for them to fall down. The Devil's Snare feature in the Main Tower is one of the highlights for me.

I'd also prefer they skip Lockhart. I know the Dueling Club set is now retired and that outfit is not right for Chamber scene, but there are so many other characters still missing from this modular wave to repeat Lockhart.

According to the information gained via Faniklockow.pl, which is still supposedly to be taken with a grain of salt although leaked by a reliable leaker, the East Wing contains a scene with the Chamber of Secrets. So going on that I would say it is COS themed and expect to see:

• A new Lockhart variant. The one we got in the last COS set had him in his orange suit, but red neckerchief which he was wearing when he was confronted by Harry and Ron before they went down into the COS. If we could get the orange suit with cream neckerchief version that he wears in the pixie scene that would be great, or better still have his green robes Quidditch scene variant. I would thought we would see his classroom and maybe get a Pixie or two.
• The Basilisk is a given I would say for a COS set and I too don't see why the former mold can't be reused.
• I would also expect Myrtle's bathroom to be in the set to go above the COS and as such, Myrtle and Polyjuiced Harry, Ron and Hermione.
• I would love to see the corridor with the writing on the wall, but I'm thinking they may skip that due to space. Mrs Norris may be in the set though and Filch easily could too now that the Owlery has retired. Unfortunately, just like the Owlery, if Filch does appear I expect him to get the downgraded plain legs.
• A flying Fawkes would be great, but I no longer expect Lego to include the obvious in a set to play out a scene especially if you can get that item in another set, just like you really need Quirrell to play out the end challenge, but he comes in The Great Hall. And if Fawkes did appear, I'd say he would be the same mold if they are going to the expense of including the Basilisk.
• Harry / Goyle, Ron/ Crabbe, Hermione / cat,  Myrtle, Lockhart, Tom Riddle, Bloody Baron, Filch, Colin Creevey and Justin Finch-Fletchley all seem like potential minifigures to me. Then I think we'll get our usual house students. Maybe Millicent Bulstrode, Hannah Abbott and another Ravenclaw.

All I’m going to say while being incredibly, incredibly, incredibly, biased, Pink Lockhart variant or bust. The Lockhart in the 2021 Chamber set with that orange/gold outfit I can understand cause the DADA classroom with the Cornish Pixies were included. But in a set where the only scene that Lockhart is present in is the whole climax of the movie, pink feels the most appropriate and would be a cool remake of the 2002 one.

And we just coincidentally got a new shade of pink this year!  And the new shade of violet would work for a remake of his DA outfit, if that ever materialises

Molds don’t really retire. If they go out unused for long enough it becomes a little more expensive to bring them back, but the mold still exists unless the master gets damaged in some way (this apparently is what happened to the goat) or Lego’s style evolves so much it’s no longer in system. 
 

The smooth haired cat and kitten molds have been in pretty consistent use since they were introduced – cats are domestic animals that can be thrown into generic City sets and modular buildings very easily. So even though the longhair hasn’t appeared outside of a CMF yet, I really don’t think there’s anything to worry about. 
 

(And if Mrs. Norris does show up using the longhair mold, then she’ll keep it in general use for years)

I’m expecting the entire underground section to be devoted to the actual Chamber. The set is huge, but wit the chute and landing area, tunnel collapse, and inner chamber there’s a lot of ground to cover, so I don’t think the Slytherin common room will actually fit. 
 

In the upper levels, Myrtle’s bathroom and the graffitied corridor outside are a must. But with the Hospital Wing, Dumbledore’s Office, Dueling Club, and even Transfiguration classroom having all been done already, the rest of the upstairs probably will be based off location rather than movie association (similar to how the Grand Staircase Tower features Dumbledore’s Office because that’s where the office is located despite the fact that the rest of the set is based off the first movie). That section of castle included the Library in the 2018 microscale, and while that set played a bit fast and loose with a lot of locations, the Library is a solid choice to include here as a larger room that features in many of the movies but doesn’t have any scenes worth making a standalone set of (the last and only decently sized version was bundled with the previous Dumbledore’s Office set). 
 

Character wise, I’m not inclined to be optimistic about getting a new polyjuice trio. Previous polyjuiced minifigures have been in sets that exclusively represent the scene the characters were polyjuiced during. In contrast, the big showstopper here is supposed to be the Chamber of Secrets. Nobody wants have Harry fighting the Basilisk with the sword of Gryffindor while wearing Slytherin robes. Likewise, nobody wants the Harry from one of his most climatic scenes stuck with one expression because he’s got Goyle’s face on the back of his head. We might get polyjuiced Hermione, since she doesn’t participate in the final fight, but not the boys. 
 

Since we know there are a dozen minifigures, I’d say:

1)Harry, 2) Ron, 3) Ginny, 4) Tom Riddle, 5) Lockhart, and 6) Myrtle are all pretty certain, with the two Weasleys the strongest candidates for the set’s anniversary patronus. 

For the rest, my guesses are 7) Hermione, 8) Filch with Mrs. Norris, 9) Justin, 10) Crabbe, 11) Goyle, 12) a Ravenclaw student (I won’t even pretend to know who it will be, but all the large installments of this castle system have included at least one student from each house so far).

I don’t care what color Lockhart’s robes are as long as he has a proper cloth cape. He needs to be able to collapse on the tunnel floor and he can’t to that with a plastic cape like the one he’s wearing in the Dueling Club set.

I don‘t disagree with the line-up, but not having a single new character (beside the Ravenclaw student perhaps) in such an expensive set would be kinda disappointing. Replace Justin with the Bloody Baron and it‘s a deal!

Technically, Crabbe would be new and Goyle hasn’t been done since 2011.

I have listed to the 2 first and they are great audio-books I must say  The ones with Stephen Fry are nice, but this is the next level and probably cost a lot to make, recommend them to HP fans 

I've lost count how many times I have listened to the Stephen Fry versions (I used to own them on cassette) and he will always be my OG Potter narrator, but these new audible versions are something different. I haven't listened to them with headphones in which I have read is recommended to get the full Dolby experience, but even so I do like the immersive atmosphere. My only dislikes so far have been the Dursleys, Alicia Spinnett's over enthusiastic shouts, and Draco's guffawing, but mostly I like the cast. Listening to it has made the material feel fresh again and very clever using Arabella Stanton to voice Hermione pre her debut in the HBO show as I think it showcases her aptitude for portraying the character. On the other hand, I think it will now be jarring to find Hermione the same, but Harry and Ron different in the HBO show.

We’re definitely getting the Baron. Unless they suddenly change tack & go in a different direction. With each large section we’ve gotten a common room with the accompanying House Ghost.

1) The Hospital Wing is not a large castle section, it’s a medium one less than half the size of the other sets with common rooms. So they already have changed their pattern. 

2) The Chamber of Secrets takes up A LOT of space and is subterranean. The Slytherin common room is also subterranean. Trying to include them both in the same set would be difficult size-wise (and, frankly, visually confusing to have the great big snake themed Chamber with a small snake themed module squashed next to it that doesn’t actually have any physical connection to the larger underground section).

 

Therefore, some of us have already theorized that the Lego designers put this year’s commonroom/house ghost combo into the much smaller Hospital Wing set in the winter wave so the largest summer wave set could devote its entire underground section to the Chamber of Secrets with Myrtle as the ghost. It would mean the pattern is ‘one house ghost + common room per year’ instead of ‘house ghost + common room in every large set’ (which as discussed has already been broken by point 1).

We’ll likely get the Slytherin common room and Bloody Baron next year.

I agree with the first part, but, really, who could be confused by having the Slytherin Common Room near the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets  Anyway, it would be better than having a Mirror of Erised under the roof while all of the path bringing to it is in the dungeons. That was confusing 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Unless they get really creative, the Bloody Baron is the only new character they can include here. At this point we‘re even running out of background teachers and random students

Why not Myrtle and the Bloody Baron?  He‘s Slytherin‘s house ghost, so what better set to include him? ^^

The problem is exactly that they’re both obviously Slytherin rooms so it might be hard to immediately recognize that they aren’t part of the same complex of rooms. The Grand Staircase Tower had only the first three stone challenges (all connected) in the underground section while the Great Hall featured two distinct locations separated by an obvious plain corridor module to make it obvious they’re not connected. 

[BrickMatit]

@Accio Lego agree to disagree, but for me we're talking about a non issue. Only someone who knows nothing about Harry Potter, but really nothing, would have a problem, but I doubt it would be someone who could spend $250 on a Harry Potter playset.

Wouldn't make much sense in a CoS set though as it's still Prof Kettleburn teaching Care of Magical Creatures in that year

Yes, for Hagrid in OotP  Maybe she'll show up in an OotP-focussed castle section!

[Virginia_Bricks]

If this set includes the Viaduct Bridge (I'm not entirely sold on that because its a lot of bricks for very little play, but the same could be said about the Great Hall courtyard), I'm guessing this is a 32 stud wide module. If you use 76419 as a guide, the Viaduct Entrance is roughly the same width as the Hospital Wing section (not the actual section) and the small tower in the Main Tower Set. That is 20 studs and 10 studs, so roughly 30 and I'm rounding up to 32 because of the ease of two 16x16 baseplates. The Viaduct is also a slightly taller building in both 76419 and 71043

900 pieces x 1.6 for extra width x 1.1 for extra height = ~1,600 pieces. Add in 400 to 500 for the Viaduct Bridge and we are at the rumored piece count and there might be a few pieces for the Stone Bridge.

The underground modules are either 8 studs or 16 studs wide. So you could do a pullout large module for the actual chamber with Slytherin's head and then a non-pullout module for the Snake Door like the Devil's Snare is not a pullout. Otherwise you have to add 6 more studs to have 2 large modules or remove 2 studs to have a large and a small.

Basically I think there is a chance they skip the Slytherin Common room from space constraints. Its a wishful chance, but if we can get one of those traced images in a few months we can get a better sense on the true width of this set.

[BrickMatit]

@Virginia_Bricks that's a nice guess. And I think the best thing for us would be having the East Wing underground only for Chamber of Secrets and a further set with Slytherin Common Room.

Hmmm never thought of it like that but I do find that line of thinking intriguing. On one hand it would be pretty odd in a Chamber of Secrets centric East Wing that the Slytherin Common Room would be left out, especially with its prominence in the Chamber of Secrets book/movie. On the other hand, it would mean that the most detailed Hogwarts line would continue another year which is ultimately what I’m personally rooting for, I want this to be as close to complete of Hogwarts we can possibly get. So I hope you are indeed correct.
