BrickBob Studpants Posted August 29, 2018 That's the same book we've heard of before, isn't it? If I recall correctly, the description also mentioned Sirius Maybe we'll get our first glimpse of his overdue redesign in there. Or maybe it's just a picture of that wanted poster from the Hogwarts express set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultron Posted August 29, 2018 Tonks and Kingsley are very welcome if they are coming, though Kingsley definitely needs his hat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, he's very rarely seen without it (I think he looses it during the Battle of Hogwarts?). It wouldn't be a perfect match, but either the sailor's or butcher's hat from the CMF would be close enough I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those few pages are from the Harry Potter Characters books. Since it released yesterday I allowed myself to post them here. The book contains all characters, all in their official 2018 version, (including the upcoming Bricktober Slughorn) but it also features what seems to be Tonks and Kingsley's final designs. Thanks for the pictures, are they the only two in the book that do not have a minifig yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balrogofmorgoth Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I’ve seen that book at target and looked trough the entire thing. Those two pages are not in the 2018 book. It must be a second book for 2019. All of the characters in the 2018 book were released as minifigures this year. I was specifically looking for characters we haven’t gotten yet to see their designs and I would have remembered these. It’s possible I accidentally skipped a page but I doubt it. That’s odd. Ok I figured it out. There’s a Target exclusive book titled “Witches and Wizards Of Hogwarts Handbook” and there’s another one titled “Witches and Wizards Character Handbook”. Both have the exact same cover and style. I only looked through the target version. That’s interesting. Edited August 29, 2018 by Balrogofmorgoth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topiku Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I ordered the Great Hall two days ago with the HP Bricktober pack at Toysrus (I live in Germany). Now they emailed me that the Bricktober pack could not be sent. ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME? Because I ordered it at toysrus i paid more than I had to and didn‘t get any profits. Wow. Is there anything I can do to still get it without having to buy anything else? Because when I ordered everything it didn‘t say „out of stock“ or something like that.

BrickBob Studpants Posted August 29, 2018 Hm, looks dangerously close to the last version and nothing like the one depicted on the wanted poster in the Hogwarts Express set Moreover, Kingsley and Tonks are suspiciously similar to their videogame counterparts, down to Kingsley'l missing hat (Tonks' hairpiece on the other hand is different). Considering all that, I doubt these are previews of upcoming minifigs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonks and Kingsley are less shocking to me. Why LEGO bothers making a book with figures they'll redesign afterwards, I don't know. Doesn't seem too clever either way, but then again LEGO's marketing has always struck me as contradictory. The book also has a poster at the end though, with a "drawing" of all minifigures, and only officially released figures are featured in there, which suggests those pics don't predict anything.

LegoSims20 Posted August 29, 2018 There is a new book coming next year including a Hermione minifig. Regarding the pictures of the figures... I think Sirius looks OK. Tonks and Kinglsey look pretty good, but they aren't characters I am in any rush for. Tonks' hair is a bad choice, though. Maybe it was the only one in that colour?
