Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion

[ItamatTheGreat]

Maybe the alice arms or peter pan arms from disney series 1 could work for ron. They're not perfect but the color are similar and the skin tone is accurate.

I would have liked to see lego try this hair for Ron and given him a more determined mature face to go with it.  Its a bit more tidy than one might want, but within the bounds of lego it seems a fair fit.

My word that would be gorgeous, it’s times like this, that I hope firestar Toys pulls through with some kind of hairpiece or printed dual arms as they’ve been doing with Star Wars.

 

turns out there isn’t a hairpiece in the dark orange that’s more accurate.

Part of me also vaguely wonders if the new year 1&2 Harry hair in orange would work

I have tried that one, it sit oddly high, somehtign is a bit off. but with the right face print it might work also.   Should be noted the skywalker hair would have looked a lot better for HBP, so they could have jsut kept using that one.

Anyone else think Dudley will use the Gru head from Minions sets? seems a decent fit.  on sinister side and one "too precious"

The Will Byers hairpiece in dark orange wouldn‘t work all that well for HBP Ron IMO because it‘d make him look way too young (which bowl cuts tend to do, even in real life ). In my eyes, he’d look even younger than his PS/CoS counterpart!

That‘s a surprisingly good fit, even the hairpiece would work!

I think thats the hairpeice drawn in the sticker photography. it has that little hair taft(?) in the back

[AFOLguy1970]

So far, Astronomy Tower would be my highest priority.  Also might have to save up for Diagon Alley when it comes out.  As for Privet Drive, I just hope the car is not significantly better than the one in Whomping Willow.

A new activity book leaked with Richard Harris' Dumbledore and a brickbuilt Pensieve, nothing special

That works surprisingly well!

The AT is my highest priority too, not necessarily for the figures but just because I want the tower in my Hogwarts display.

And otter one with Sirius 

For a moment I thought there would be a new Sirius, damnit.

[Balrogofmorgoth]

Dumbledore and Sirius are very nice figures to have in those books. Granted that Dumbledore will be pretty much obsolete once the new CMFs are out

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Well, these are no sets but it's still nice to be getting those activity books. Unfortunately I have both of those minfigures.

[THELEGOBATMAN]

There's also another one with Harry and Draco in their school uniforms with brooms, I might actually get that one if it's cheap. A great way to get Slytherin uniform.

[Scarlet_Patronus]

With the apparent popularity of the activity books, does anybody think we could get another Build your own Adventure book? That’s one I would buy in a heartbeat ?

[UKFan922]

And one with Harry and Draco with a cute pull-out scene!

[Tariq j]

At least with Sirius you get an extra prison outfit if you already have that minifigure. You could make a custom Dolohov or Rookwood figure.

Same. 

 

There also seems to be a Snape book,is that new? 

[Balrogofmorgoth]

It’s nice to have another way to get Draco in his House sweater

The search and find one? No.

Comes with a dark blue potions bottle - are these difficult to get otherwise?

Edit: Just looked on Bricklink, looks fairly easy to get in blue/green.

No I have this on my bookshelf haha.

Interestingly the search and find one has Grawp, Diagon Alley and the battle of Hogwarts in it, but they're just artistic interpretations.

Another one leaked with what appears to be a new Harry variant.

[sammy_zammy]

Was having a look on Hive (a UK book retailer) and found this item that I don't know if has been mentioned:

Also on Amazon:

Has anyone mentioned this before?

It has just the image of it but doesn't include the actual figure.

A book with Voldemort and Nagini is available in stores, at least in Europe.

That would be great, especially as the book only focused on the first film! A book with a collection of scenes from the other films would be so good, with things like the Whomping Willow, giant spiders, a basilisk, Chamber of Secrets or Shrieking Shack displays or even builds inspired by the other Triwizard challenges.
