So do we, I think the sets will sell like hot cakes, so hopefully we get more waves with sets in the future 15 hours ago, Nabii said: We based these sets on movies 1 and 2 with a few bits from 3 added for flavour Interesting to get that confirmed, I can not spot anything in this set from the 3 movie, maybe in whomping willow then I wonder if the same apply to the CMF and D2C... 15 hours ago, Nabii said: things.

Sammael Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Thank you for the insights! This set looks great, can't wait to see more of the theme. And I am saying this even though I am not a huge HP fan and don't own a lot of older HP sets (2010 castle and a handful of others).

just_one Posted February 21, 2018 @Nabii Thanks for all the answers! Just one question for me regarding the set : According to Grand Hall Press Release the Whomping Willow set will connect to the Grand Hall set, Is this a direct connect ? Meaning something alongside the modular line ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeee Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) @Nabii - Thank you for doing such an awesome job on the Great Hall! I'm crossing my fingers that you get to design more Hogwarts castles so they are consistent with your style! Do you know if any designers at TLC keep a portfolio online? I could flip through pages and pages of preliminary designs of Hogwarts! teehee. Oh, one more thing: I know I have been a pretty tough critic when it comes to the Lego Harry Potter sets...just know that that is because I put you guys at a super high standard! :) And that is a good thing! One last thing I promise: I thought, "how can TLC ever fit four long tables in the Great Hall?" And upon seeing how you split four tables in the set like that, I thought....GENIUS!! Thank you for including Hufflepuff <3 Edited February 21, 2018 by joeee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultron Posted February 21, 2018 8 hours ago, Roebuck said: Quirrel looks good, when it comes to HP; if it is fine by JKR, it is fine by me Same, though not with Cursed Child On the off chance you decide to answer any more questions... -Is there a Sword of Gryffindor to fight the basilisk with? -Is the gem in Hermiones cauldron supposed to be the sorcerers/philosopher stone? Or is there a different gem for it in the set? -The press release mentions putting Ron in front of the mirror of erised, so does he have his own image to put into the mirror? -Considering that the Basilisk is included in this set, does that necessarily exclude the possibility of a Chamber of Secret set in the future? -You say you are a fan of HP, but would you also say that the sets may have references to the books? I remember the Lego games were filled with wonderful little references to the books despite being movie based. -Our first Hufflepuff student is included here so should would it be wise to expect a ravenclaw torso to match in the future? Again, thank you for everything!! Love the set and am so happy to see this theme return. Harry Potter was among my first system Lego sets as a kid. I think the Gryffindor common room set was my first! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Numenorean Posted February 21, 2018 16 hours ago, Nabii said: "Are you a harry potter fan? And did you work on an other project from the wave of HP?" Yes, though I am also a Star Wars, Marvel, DC, LotRs, Destiny, Narnia, Overwatch, Portal, Anime, Dungeons and Dragons and Sci-fi fan to higher or similar extents, so it's very rare I'm not excited by what I'm working on! I built a lot of sketch models of all kinds of parts of Hogwarts when we started this theme, I got a bit obsessed with it, but this is the only set I got to be final designer of. I hope we do more in future and I get to do more! What a chance to build the world that you love so much. Tanks you for answer again! 16 hours ago, Nabii said: "- How did you choose to make "child variants" of the kids? Was it to save space or to reach another audience (because they look soooo adorable!)?" This was a huge discussion in the design team- some of us wanted full sized legs, others wanted kids legs as in the first couple of movies they were definitely kids. And it was not to save space or anything, it actually introduced all kinds of challenges about how to let them 'sit' at tables and in seats and things. (I almost talked about other sets there... sneaky fans!) Just thanks you for that! I was upset to see the student are as tall as the teachers. And you choose a kid for minifig! For, me this is one of the best harry potter set ever! You said you wanted the best for harry potter set: please, put ravenclaw / huffpufle and rares characters for the next set that you will design in the futur :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 21, 2018 Interesting that it is based on Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets... with little of Prisoner of Azkaban. I hope that the Whomping Willow will be more PoA than CoS. It should include characters like Snape, Lupin and Pettigrew. Not only Harry and Ron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is a good thing that the sets are based on 1-2, that means that Lego could be planning a 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8 waves it we are lucky and the sets are selling well A 70$ HP set will most likely include more than 2-3 figs, probably some from PoA if they are in one of the sets.. If the next wave are sets from 3-4 I expect more than 3 sets as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm excited because a Whomping Willow set priced at a high $70 will mean a pretty intricate and well-done tree! (I'd hate for it to look ugly, flimsy, and cheap looking.)

Sorry for the second post but i have to say that i saw a leak again with the mention of harry potter set for the 75956 and not a fantastique beast witch cost 39,99 euros + i saw the other face of Quirrel: bad version of Voldemort.

Robert8 Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Why don't you just post the pics here? I don't get it These were already officially revealed and the set ifself was at the NY TF and pictures were allowed There is no way in this world pics of this set could be considered a leak anymore ...... Anyway, I'm surprised they gave him nostrils again, considering they just removed them for the Dimensions minifigure Edited February 21, 2018 by Robert8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voldemort is there and looks as hideous as in the film! He looks really interesting. So much better than the last one (Quirrel's back head) we got. Although is his head supposed to be tilted or is that a misprint? It looks god either way. I can't it took that long for someone at NYTF to take pictures of it xD. 2 hours ago, Robert8 said: Anyway, I'm surprised they gave him nostrils again, considering they just removed them for the Dimensions minifigure Nostrils FTW! I'm happy they're bringing them back, the dimensions one just looked unfinished in my opinion. They really captured his movie looks. Still funny how the only character without a nose is also the only one that gets something nose related xD.

Thank you for the insight This is to be expected, they will probably not be limited to the two movies in the building, but take the best part from all movies and make it in to a epic set! So nothing from the inventory are from PoA then, my guess is that it will be in ww set 8 hours ago, Black Numenorean said: Imagine 4 CMF. That would be awesome but an illusion.
