    I know that "the basilisk" is in the Great Hall, but in reality, it's just an additional little play feature build. I can definitely see a REAL basilisk coming second or 3rd wave, at least after they do the Hungarian Horntail!!

    I feel like Hagrid's Hut this time around could be smaller, maybe similar to Luke's Hut from the Last Jedi sets Also, I feel that the Basilisk has the potential to be it's own set, maybe something like we've seen in 1-4. Lego seems to love making big snake sets

    If it's heavily based upon multiple parts, such as the clock tower, Gryffindor tower, library, bathrooms, maybe even the greenhouses, I think the set will be great, and the Great Hall can easily connect with it. I can see it being almost like the 1960s batcave set, or Assault on Hoth, with multiple main areas to complete the whole castle

    I was thinking the exact same, maybe we'll see this part and a larger main tower with moving staircases

    @Paperballpark thanks! Yeah I was thinking of 8097. How much smaller would you say it is from that? Hopefully not too tiny

    Great news! So how big would that make the Slave 1? Similar to the 2010 version? Or much smaller? @Paperballpark

    Exactly. I doubt any little kid can even pronounce the name "Hermione".

    I highly doubt they will ever make Juniors Harry Potter sets. Juniors sets appeal to 4-6 year olds and its rare that any kid that age would be looking for Harry Potter toys. The only reason they do stuff like Batman, Jurassic World, Marvel, etc is because little kids love heroes and dinosaurs.

    It would be ridiculous to get peeves. These sets are based off of the movies, not the books.

    Honestly, I doubt Lego has a 4 year plan for these Harry Potter sets to do 2 movies per year, but I feel like they are doing something like starting with the earlier films and moving forward. The Harry Potter Funko Pop Line did something similar. They started with Sorcerer's Stone/main characters, then a wave of Azkban/Goblet characters, then a wave based around the newer films. If you guys know the trend I'm talking about, you'll know what I mean. Kind of hard to explain.

    It would really be great to see a large scale, UCS Naboo Starfighter, the size of the Y wing.

    GryffindorResistance replied to Robert8's topic in LEGO Licensed

    I really am interested to see what the UCS Hogwarts includes. My original guess was that it would be just larger versions of Great Hall and Main Tower, the two most iconic parts of the castle, but I guess it will be otherwise. I don't see them including another Great Hall, but I could imagine a larger version of the main tower to give that iconic Hogwarts sillhouette. I feel like it will be to scale and include some other recognizable parts of the castle, such as the Quad, Clock Tower, Gryffindor Tower, and possibly a small Greenhouse or Hagrid's Hut. Also, very excited to see what this retailer exclusive will be (if the rumor is true). My guess is definitely a Hogwarts Express!

    Honestly, Grindelwalds Escape is such a waste of a set. The Thestral is amazing and it’s great to get Grindelwald but why would the second figure be Seriphina Piquery? Out of all the characters, it should be young dumbledore, then that leaves the second FB set to include the main cast (Newt, Jacob, Tina, etc.) I’m going to modify this set to make it a Hogwarts Thestral Carriage. I think that’s what most of us are going to do!

    If you think realistically, Lego will want to block out the MAIN characters in the first wave. We already learned just by the Great Hall set that they are going a bit stronger than the 2010 wave, so I'm guessing the figs will be something like this: Great Hall - Dumbledore, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, McGonnagall, Hagrid, Quirrell, Nick, Susan Whomping Willow - Harry, Ron, Snape, Lupin, Sirius or Hermione Aragog - Harry, Ron Newt's Briefcase - Newt, Tina, Jacob, or Queenie Grindelwald Duel - Newt, Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Tina UCS Hogwarts - Hopefully this will cover some characters from the later films, due to the fact that the Great Hall is focused on 1 and 2 and covers the main basis of characters. Voldemort will have to be in this set, along with some Death Eaters, indicating a Battle of Hogwarts/Goblet of Fire type feel. Also, whoever thinks ANOTHER Great Hall is happening in the UCS, thats really unrealistic. They are labeling a set as "The Great Hall", they'd never include a second one. And they wouldn't do the other half either since the Great Hall set isn't built that way, its only missing the back wall.

    Any ideas of what the 25th Anniversary JP set includes? I know its the Visitors Center but are we getting a jeep as well? And are the dinosaurs a Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus?

    GryffindorResistance replied to Robert8's topic in LEGO Licensed

    Very curious what the UCS Hogwarts will include after seeing the Great Hall... I really hope that it is proportional with this set so you can put them together and still have one, evenly scaled castle. The Great Hall pretty much covers the main characters, so I'm interested to see what locations and characters are included. My guess is hopefully they cover the later movies, like included older versions of Harry, Ron, etc, Michael Gambon Dumbledore, a different McGonnagall with the black dress, and especially Voldemort and the Death Eaters. The Great Hall is an amazing set, but have to admit there are a few odd parts. Susan Bones? Character doesn't even have a line. I understand they are adding a Hufflepuff, but we will get Cedric at some point, so why not just give us Ginny in the Great Hall? And why waste pieces to just add a small Basilisk, save it for a larger Chamber of Secrets.

    GryffindorResistance replied to Robert8's topic in LEGO Licensed

    I'm guessing the classic Jurassic Park set will either be the Visitor's Center or Park Gates with the T-Rex Paddock. So pumped to see that they will actually do something from the original films.

    GryffindorResistance replied to Robert8's topic in LEGO Licensed

    Being that Lego likes to put unique figures in the CMFs, I can totally see them doing Dobby, Griphook, and a Hagrid variation as one of the characters that we don't know yet. Also, is it confirmed that the Ford Anglia Escape only includes 3 figures and the Car and Whomping Willow? It seems two big for just those two things... Maybe Hagrid's Hut is included in it?? Or surrounding grounds of the castle?

    GryffindorResistance replied to Robert8's topic in LEGO Licensed

    I really hope they do more than one wave of Harry Potter sets, but with Lego nowadays, you can never be so sure. It seems that most themes have shorter time spans, so you never know, even though Potter does have the potential to last for A WHILE. I did hear though from an inside source that due to Harry Potter being in such demand, this wave really is as BIG as we are speculating it is, with the UCS Hogwarts confirmed to be true. If they decide to fill the Hogwarts with figures and do a span of all the films to create variations of the castle, I could see the minifigs being as such: - Harry Potter - Ron Weasley - Hermione Granger - Quirrel - Lockhart - Mad Eye - Lupin - Umbridge - Bellatrix Lestrange - Fenrir Greyback - Luna Lovegood - Ginny Weasley - Cedric Diggory - Cho Chang But if they decide not to go that route, better off, I could see them going for some more basic students and professors. Also, just realized someone else said pretty much the same thing as me but whatever!!
