Are anyone name-changed to Günther in the german editions?

There is definitely no one called Günther in the German version (besides Günther the violent).

the German voice actors of Fred/George and Bellatrix have a „Günther“ in their name. 
if Kingnono is German, I would guess it refers to Fred. If he is not - I have absolutely no idea.

maybe it’s just a joke as he starts with „just some random names with G“ and the first one is random for real.

He’s Swiss, but the voice actor allusion still wouldn’t make much sense since Günther is their family name whereas all the other names in _kingnono_’s list are given names 

As unlikely as it sounds, the hint probably does refer to Günther the Violent

In no way does it have anything to do with Günther the violent, who is - even for the biggest Harry Potter fans - pretty unknown :D

I think the most suitable explanation is, that it refers to Tom, because of Günther the Barkeeper in „friends“.

1) The barkeeper’s name in Friends is Gunther, i.e. without the umlaut 

2) That’s a bit of a stretch anyway  All the other names in the list refer to the given names of either HP characters or actors, so why would this one refer to a random character from another series that only happens to share the profession of a HP character?

There’s a Hogwarts Quiz in LEGO’s Instagram Stories right now.

Two interesting illustrations are included that could possibly give us glimpses of things to come:

We see the cover of an acid green book (like the one in the Astronomy Tower set) and it features a blood red potion bottle.

There’s also a dark gray dog piece (German shepherd mold) with an interesting paint application: a scruffy black muzzle and bushy black brows. The paint makes it look very much like a Scottish deerhound.

Could this mean we are getting Sirius as Padfoot in either the CMF or the Advent Calendar?

all of the other names most probably refer to minifigures and we will definitely not getting a Günther the violent Minifigure :D

It might be a clue for Quality Quidditch Supplies in DA, but to be honest I think this is really just a random name with G.

I didn’t see the dog, but the book is already existing from the first Harry Potter wave in 2001

These illustrations are definitely not an indication of what’s to come. The book cover is from the first iteration of the theme (2001) and they’re using Sprout’s old minifig from 2011

Good point. Maybe _kingnono_’s just pulling our leg with that name  I can picture him laughing his M€g@bløck$ off at us trying to decipher that part of the clue

That book is super old.

DIAGON ALLEY COMING EARLIER THAN SEPTEMBER!!!

From KingNono 

Edited May 5, 2020 by topiku

if its an official date of august, then vip should get it in July.

unless he means that the set is not september for vips..

I know the book is old, but it could be an “Easter Egg” the designers included in the Astronomy Tower set to hearken back to the original 2001 wave. They are always doing little winks  like that to the fans. Like how the piece count on the Hogwarts D2C is a reference to the original wizard shop set number (6020) from 1993.

To be fair, he didn’t say ‘earlier’, but of course it’s heavily implied  Otherwise people would probably tear him to shreds 

Makes sense to me, 71043 was an August release too, wasn’t it?

[Jinzol]

It’s on a bookshelf in the Ravenclaw common room. There was some speculation on here a few pages back about what sticker or print the cover will feature. Check it out.

It was a September release, but VIP‘s could get it in mid-August

[THELEGOBATMAN]

That's interesting. I hope we see all the remaining sets soon.

Don't look too much into it, it's just a random quiz.

Where did you find the green LEGO book with a prophecy on it? I can’t seem to find it on #legoleaks. Do you mind resharing the link?

You’re right! Thanks for the heads up

[lego_guyon02]

The D2C could come out after september but if it's earlier I think it's just an august early release for VIP's

[Balrogofmorgoth]

These new hints are definitely interesting

[BigHobbit]

The microscale Hogwarts came out on September 1st, with a preorder release date for VIPs on August 15th. That was really cool, as Hogwarts start of term is September 1st. Likewise, Harry first went to Diagon Alley on July 31st, so I could very easily see August 1st (a Saturday this year) or right around there being the official release date, with mid July for VIP release. Sadly, while I did get Hogwarts by selling some things, Diagon Alley is going to be beyond my financial means for at least a while if not permanently. My plan is to buy the Burrow, some collectible minifigs, and the Advent Calendar when they come out, and then ask for the Astronomy Tower and the Room of Requirement from my wife and parents for Christmas.

I would be shocked if we didn’t get either

Ginny with Pygmy puff

or

Ginny in robes with Tom riddles Diary

in either the CMF or Diagonal Alley

I was hoping for Ginny in the slughorn party in her greenish dress since she was excluded from the Astronomy Tower. Kind of hoping for that in the cmf.
