I hadn't thought about Moody's hair being a good option for Sirius Black. I think Luke's hairpiece is perfectly designed but it definitely takes away some ressemblance. Too straight and groomed. Luke's hairpiece in brown is literally new, so there was no "budget limit" here  I'm curious about their choices, perhaps there are some complex barriers not visible to us (or me lol). I should probably lower my expectations for the missing figures  (Yule Hermione I'm looking at you)

I feel like Lego will cheap out for Yule Ball Hermione and give her mid legs with a skirt rather than a new mid leg dress piece.

I don’t think she needs a mid leg dress piece. The regular dress piece will be fine

[RODDY]

So do we think Macnair will come with his executioner blade or not?

You mean that Harry and Ron will be lower than Hermione? That would be quite strange.

I wouldn't mind the mid legs + skirt. Better than having just mid legs with no printing or the skirt piece with no printing. I'm curious about the hair choice, I hope she doesn't end up with the CMF Queen hair.

I love these 2 new figures, but I think Lego missed a good opportunity with Macnair. I personally think they should have used the hood piece introduced with the Ninjago Dragon Hunters last year for him, oh well, I’ll switch it out.

The Dragon Hunter hood wouldn't work at all for McNair, he basically just wears a piece of cloth over his head while still exposing his eyes and mouth. The DH mask covers up everything but the eyes (and if you only use the top part without the bottom it looks super weird)

Not really because she would be wearing heels. Plus having her slightly taller would be absolutely fine with me if it means she gets a printed dress piece

Barbara Gordon's hair from the LEGO Batman Movie would probably look great!

I don't think they'll print her dress piece IF she gets one, otherwise they could've continued Fleurs printing too

[strangely]

If Ron and Harry are using mid-legs than I fully expect Hermione to be at the same height. I imagine they'll just print the design on a pair of mid-legs, which wouldn't be too bad actually.

[Robert8]

Ok Macnair is excellent

[Whovastron]

Aren’t the mid legs the same size as a brick? Could just have a 1x2 brick. Unlikely I know, but I might do that if we get legs

Fleur’s dress is fairly plain to begin with. Hermione’s has a lot of details in it and it’s one of the most classic HP costumes ever. Also keep in mind they did print Dumbledore’s

Time to just show the sets already. We've had leaks of practically all the figures and animals, and descriptions of everything that hasn't been leaked.

You do know leaking figures and leaking sets are 2 competely different things right? And all descriptions came from Toy Fair

Nah, he‘ll strangle Buckbeak with his bare hands  Seriously though, I don‘t see any reason to omit it. They turned Macnair, a murderous lunatic who LOVES his job as an executioner, into a minifig, so they may just as well give him a tool for committing his ...happy little accidents

Secretly the set comes with small bags of ketchup which will explode once you remove Buckbeaks head

Maybe try the swimming cap in black. If Macnair doesn't have a double-sided head, the Pirates headsquare might work too.

I wonder if Harry Potter will be one wave per year or if we expect another wave next winter

I think it works with only the top half of the hood since it’s a black head,

I’m having trouble picturing what piece you’re talking about

[Huigberts Builds]

I like the 2 new figures. They're nothing too special but still another fine addition to my collection. I hope Fudge comes with a small cape, otherwise I'll give him one myself.

Still I hope we'll get official images soon, I would like some surprises before we've seen everything from leaks.

[KingSpoozle]

We are getting Cornelius Fudge!!

I was thinking the same thing about the cape. Is there a small black cape that has ever been used though?

The only thing I can think of is the Kylo Ren cape from 2015, but it wouldn’t work since it’s torn up.
