Can anyone help. Been making the Hogwarts castle with my son (his head keeps exploding with how amazing it is ?) and I’m sure the designer Justin Ramsden was in a Lego documentary about how he got a job there. Does anyone have any idea what it was called or how to try find out what it was called? Hoping to show it to him if at all possible. Any help greatly appreciated please please please with a Lego cherry on top

If you create a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and connect via the USA it should work. I'm in the UK and just used TunnelBear as a test and was able to watch it.

Sorry ?!  A vpn makes it look like you're accessing the internet from a different place, so if content is blocked in your location you can make it look like you're accessing it from a different location.  But just google Tunnelbear - they explain it way better than I can and it's very easy to set up. Pm me if you get stuck - happy to help.

Is anyone planning on getting doubles of any figure? For S1 I got an extra Moody (for Crouch Jr.), as well as the uniformed version of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dean, Malfoy, Neville and Cho for extra students. I've seen people buy doubles of pajamas Harry and Dobby for other students/other house elves. If Graves wasn't so rare I'd have got another. 

 

For S2, apart from Neville for and extra MBOM and student torso, I don't think I'll bother. The butterbeer glass and sword of Gryffindor are the only other pieces I'd like more of (the sword for something other than HP).

I was worried about getting a second Graves and I ended up with 6 or 7 of them. Only got two when they came out, but kept finding them months later. Got two more just a couple of months ago. 

As for your question though, personally might get an extra one of each of the weasleys mainly for their heads for my quidditch versions. But nothing else really. Maybe an extra neville like you.

If it wasn't directly related to Harry Potter they wouldn't use flesh so that would make a lot of new torso's fairly useless due to the yellow skintones

Ah I forgot about that, of course :-/

Who is graves? Are you talking about Grindewald?

Percival Graves (The guy Grindelwald was pretending to be).

The figure is actually Graves, Grindelwald is just the alternate face print/hair, just like the Moody figure is Moody with the alternate hair/face being Crouch Jr

Only Fawkes

If you take into account canonical events, it's the opposite, it's just that the "main" advertised figure was the fake one. It just depends how you want to look at it.

I’m planning on getting quite a few copies of Griphook just for his new hair piece to make other goblins / different fantasy races outside of Harry Potter 

[Jarreth2]

A second Griphook to give the sword to Godric ??

[OutlandishCandle]

I'm thinking about getting at least one extra Ginny and Bellatrix to swap out their faces in the burrow (and for Ginny's new glass piece).

Not sure if it's common knowledge, I mighthave missed it among the billion replies since the leak, but someone on IG has pointed out Ollivander in the DA set is different from the GWP after all. Torso looks to be dark red, his face has a slight smile and it kinda seems like they fixed the sideburns and extended them to the hairline.

I don't think the torso is actually dark red, it's just the low image quality. The rest of what you said seems true though.

A higher res image of Lucius have confirmed he re-uses the old Superman/Loki head like we thought. May not be ground breaking news, but its nice to have a confirmation

where?

[Metanoios]

Where did you see that higher res image?

[Bugbot20082]

I’ll be getting about 3 Neville, 2 Griphook, Luna, Dumbledore, Myrtle & Kingsley. Singles of the others I think As the figures are not as versatile for different scenes.

Possibly extra Ron and Hermione if on clearance (the WW hair is my favourite for older Hermione, and those glasses are nice to have extras of)

Over on the ‘updating your figures’ page I’m posting some custom figures using the bits from the student pack :) it’s great for expanding Dumbledore’s Army, more patronuses please Lego!

[dyl-and]

Is the leaked green torso that people thought was for Arthur the one the DP Photographer has?

On Lego_Fans_News's Telagram account. There's better quality images of all the figures
