My speculation is that the $40 set is a Forbidden Forest set with Harry, Draco, Fang, Firenze, disguised Quirrell, and possibly Hagrid, considering I'd be surprised if he was completely absent from this year's sets.

Literally half of the August wave has been revealed to be brickbuild object, creatures and animals. I think it’s safe to assume that the rest of the sets won’t be standard play sets. It’s looking to be a brickbuild wave for Harry Potter in August. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hooch came in a remembrall brick build set.

The chess pieces are LIFE SIZE in the movie

Quite a bit bigger than 'life-sized'...

They look the size of an adult to the kids IMO.

Um... The chess pieces are LIFE SIZE in the movie. The Queen was a minfig in the last set. How could they not be Minfigs?? 

Um... Because the chess pieces are SEVERAL TIMES TALLER THAN THE TRIO in the movie, i.e. not life-size. You don't do a minifig for a 20 foot tall statue. The height of a statue in a $20 set 20 years ago has absolutely no bearing on how it will be depicted in a super-accurate $250 D2C set.

Sure, if the kids were 18 inches tall apiece.

I respectfully disagree. And predict that the pieces will be minifigs.

Funny thing: my second comment here a month ago was "One thing I'm thinking about: where's Hagrid?" 

A Detention in Forest set would be really nice... if they put Fang, Firenze and an unicorn.

Excellent idea! We're still missing a forbidden forest set in this wave, so that would be perfect. Too perfect for this weird wave though...

Yeah, too perfect!

A unicorn would definitely be great to see, though I'm not sure what it's odds are of LEGO including one, considering it was dead for the entirety of its screen time.

Maybe, but if the $30 and $40 sets for August were both minifigure scale playsets, it would fit with how they released a two set wave in August 2019 that also added up to $70 together.  This year would just have brickbuilt display sets and a D2C in addition to that.

@Guyon2002 after realizing that he's revealed 75% of the August wave:

I can see that the Original 3 and all the pawns could be minifigures, with teh pawns having a sort of brickbuilt or molded turtle shell for them. If they  adhere to the scenes fairly accurately, I'd think all the other pieces would be a lot taller and more solid, perhaps have minifigures, but not necessairly. If they follow their trend of Lego Chess sets, almost every set they have made - every piece IS technically a minifigure. 852293: Castle Giant Chess Set has all minifigure sets. My guess is it depends on how much they adhere to the overall look fo the set. I still would imagine it's most like 852293.

Good Lord, what were they thinking with this wave?

I hope next year we get an $800 D2C Harry's head! No body, just his head. 

I can't believe I set aside so much money this year specifically for Lego Harry Potter lol. I'd buy some Star Wars instead, but their lineup this year isn't really my cup of tea either.

Cor blimey.

Well, I could stand a non canonical scene with a living unicorn

LMAO I was 100% joking when I guessed that @Guyon2002 was referring to buildable characters. It just makes no sense for a theme like HP

[BrickBob Studpants]

Regarding 76393: most of the crazy suggestions I've seen here are human characters, but I don't think that would work, like at all. Especially not for roughly 60$ for each figure. Wouldn't a pair of animals / beasts make way more sense?

I agree with this. Both 2018 and 2019 had a small, two set second wave in August, so I don't see why 2021 couldn't have two small minifig-scale sets in addition to the brickbuilt stuff.

Also, again, @Guyon2002 soft-confirmed that 76395 is a Quidditch Class playset. If the $30 is minifig-scale, I think it's more likely that 7y394 is as well than it is that we have a wave of brickbuilds with one lone random playset.

It’s should be 2 humans ;)

For $250, having the pieces all be minifigures wouldn't make sense. I think each square will be 5 studs by 5 studs at least, which means minifigure pieces would look tiny.

Really?  There's no way these can look any good, unless they're just enlarged minifigs

Based on your IG post - I'm guessing it's Harry and Hermione?

I'll throw out a few guesses, I suppose.

1. Harry and Ron

2. Hagrid and Harry

3. Dumbledore and Voldemort

Never mind lol

[Retro Brick Reviews]

Okay, so @Falconfan1414 just posted on Insta an image of Harry and Hermione from DH2 for 76393, with the caption "I didn't choose this picture by accident." So, 76393 will be our first and only DH set... and it will be brickbuilt figures of 2/3 of the Golden Trio. I think that's absolutely hilarious, and I'm sure some of the reactions to it will be even more so.

[BrickBob Studpants]

This means war.

It’s not deathly hallows. I meant the characters in the picture not the movie they are from

Falconfan said it's very likely that something else will be included and someone else (maybe Guyon?) said they all connect.

I said what?

Yeah but $250 should have at least 10 minifigures but with this one I can only think of 3

D2C's have no minimum amount of figures though.
