That’s my point though, Shrieking Shack is a pivotal location, yet they haven’t even made it. How would they make something more obscure in the DH homes when the climax of POA was completely omitted? And again I know most AFOLS would snatch up (pun intended) a set like that but if you’re trying to convince a kid when ether he wants a tent with the trio and some generic characters in black or a cool boat that comes with merpeople, a shark headed dude, and potentially some grindylows, and some cool seaweed builds, I’m still betting on Dumstrang Ship selling like hot cakes. Even alot of AFOLS like myself who owned the original and have nostalgia for it would eat this thing up. It’s too fun of a set to pass up on imo, especially if combined with the Second Task. Great mini figure selection as well knowing we could get Igor Karkaroff, Shark Krum, Rita Skeeter, Second Task Harry, Second Task couple of mermaids, and Gabriella. They did this last year with 4 Privet Drive and Diagon Alley and started mixing sets from earlier in the film chronology to supplement, who says they won’t do it again.

I know there isn’t a confirmed lack of DH yet, I meant to say I wouldn’t be surprised. My bad. The reason why I believe that the Dumstrang Ship has a better chance than say the Lovegood home is because of Beauxbaton’s Carriage has been made. If one more obscure vehicle is made, it opens the door for another. Yet we haven’t seen an obscure building be made yet. If 12 Grimmauld Place or the Shrieking Shack was made then sure you could argue that the Lovegood home would have an equal chance as Dumstrang Ship but it hasn’t been made yet. Even The Shrieking Shack which plays a pivotal role in POA hasn’t been made yet. Anyone of the obscure buildings from DH has no predecessor where the Dumstrang Ship has the Beauxbaton’s Carriage. Also the obscure vehicles have more play features like the way the Carriage opens up. What play feature does Xenophilius house has, recall the Tale of the Deathly Hallows where Death kills two folks?These sets are still marketed towards kids after all and they’ll take a cool looking vehicle over a dull looking building with zero play features any day of the week. As for the Slug Club attires, we already know that it was a marketing move by Lego to appeal to the female demographic with more party scenes. So that’s a bit different of a situation. Yeah I could see a tent as well, but it’s just plain boring. With Patronum we got Sirius Black, 2x Dementors, and the Patronus. Grawp had 2x centaurs, Grawp and an Umbridge. The only cool new thing would be a Doe Patronus but honestly don’t think that’s not going to be enough to warrant a set.

Not really surprised by the lack of DH sets, not a lot of the set potential from both films. Either too obscure and wouldn’t sell (Malfoy Manor, Godric’s Hollow, Lovegood home) or just flat out boring, I really don’t need another tent set. The only two sets that would do well would be Courtyard Duel/ 2011 FF remake and Gringott’s, the later isn’t even an exclusive DH set. Lego have been following the formula of having one beast centric set per wave with Aragog, Hungarian Horntail, Grawp, and now Fluffy. The same can be said about the vehicles with the Hogwarts Express, Knight Bus, Beauxbaton’s Carriage and Ford Anglia so I can definitely see Dumstrang Ship. I’ll gladly take a Dumstrang Ship and Second Task to round off GOF. Being the 20th anniversary, I do hope we get one set from HBP and OoTP so every film gets represented. Ideally the $60 set would be Ministry of Magic and $30 would be Inferi Cave. My guesses would be for August would be: $250 - Gringott’s/DA extension $120 - Dumstrang Ship/ Second Task $60 - Ministry of Magic $40 - Courtyard Duel or 2011 FF remake $30 - Inferi Cave

Some of the 20th Anniversary Star Wars sets were modern interpretations of sets that were featured in the 1999 wave, such as the Podracer and Snowspeeder. They weren’t just re-releasing the same set from twenty years past. And I would assume the same with these HP sets, sure they might be using green roofs as an homage to the original, just like Snape with the purple in his robes but these sets will be a modern take.

With the Forbidden Corridor being similar to the 2001 set and will probably have some vegetation representing devil snare, could there be a Chamber of Winged Keys in the big Hogwarts expansion? With the Mirror of Erised and Quirrell in 2018 GH, it would be the last challenge left and would be a nice way to connect the set, much like how the Girl’s Bathroom probably connects to the entrance way of the Chamber of Secrets in some manner. The 2002 Chamber also has a miniature chess board so maybe the advent calendar supplements it in some form? Extremely curious to see how all three sets connect.

Zavvi is your friend if you’re in NA and you want them early. Many of us in NA including myself got the sets in June and with very cheap shipping.

I just realized that Colin Creevy is the COS and I’m through the roof! He’s probably my favorite minor character so it’s great he gets an appearance in here.

Did Lego just read my wishlist and decided to make all them? PS and COS are my two favorite films so seeing them get more love is great and I can’t say no to another Lockhart variant! I know I said I would never buy a re-release but the great hall doubling as Chamber of Secret is my only exception. I really can’t wait what other sets this wave brings, fingers crossed for a second task since it seems most of the films are being covered

Here is the full blown translation for my English folks: The smallest set available in summer will be the girls' toilet from the second Harry Potter film. In terms of both price and composition, the set is reminiscent of the 75966 Room of Desires. The room has a size of 16 × 8 studs and can be connected to the other two new Hogwarts sets. It includes a toilet cubicle and three wash basins under a mirror front. In addition to Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, Hermione with a cat's head in LEGO form is also included for the first time. What is special here is that the figures have the faces of Crabbe and Goyle printed on the back of the heads. Hermione can also be transformed back into her original form. The three gather around the cauldron with polyjuice. You won't find the Moaning Myrtle here. Fortunately, it was already included in last year's 71028 Harry Potter Collectible Figure Series 2. In total, the 217 parts will cost 19.99 euros. There will be a gold Harry Potter in this set. For just 39.99 euros, but only consisting of 397 parts, we get an expansion set for the new Hogwarts Castle. The set is very reminiscent of the 4706 Forbidden Aisle, which appeared in 2001 as one of the first LEGO Harry Potter sets, with its tower and walled area. Just like 20 years ago, the set includes Harry, Hermione and Ron as minifigures. There is also a new edition of Hagrid's three-headed dog Fluffy for the first time. Its body is brick-built, the heads are made of new molds. The set also includes a harp and a golden Hermione. Most LEGO Harry Potter fans should be happy that there will finally be the first implementation of the wizarding village of Hogsmeade, which is located near Hogwarts. Of course, the whole village doesn't fit into the set. Similar to the set 75968 Privet Drive 4, there will be two house scenes, the back of which is open to play. These are the honey pot candy shop and the Drei Besen tavern, where the students like to stop for a butterbeer. Just like in the film, there is snow on the roofs. The figures include Harry Potter, Dean Thomas and Professor McGonagall, as well as the landlady of the three brooms Madame Rosmerta and the owners of the honey pot, Mr. and Mrs. Flume. The set will consist of 851 parts and cost 79.99 euros. There will be a golden ron in this set. The biggest surprise among the LEGO Harry Potter novelties for 2021 is this set, as the 75954 Great Hall of Hogwarts is already a Playscale version of the castle on the market. Production of the set was actually supposed to be stopped by the end of 2020, but the date was postponed due to the great demand. At the latest with the appearance of a new Hogwarts Castle, this should also be the case in summer 2021. The set contains the great hall and also the great stair tower. Unlike the previous model, the roofs are green instead of gray. The structures are also nowhere near as detailed. But this part of the castle also has a substructure, more precisely here is the Chamber of Secrets. Fittingly, the entrance door to the Chamber of Secrets is also included. Harry, Ginny, Dumbledore, the almost headless Nick, Colin Creevey, Lockhart in an orange robe, Tom Riddle, a teacher and a student are included as minifigures. There will also be a new, larger version of the basilisk. With this set, a gold Voldemort minifigure appears

Personally as someone who owns both OG Ninjago City and Diagon Alley, I much prefer Diagon Alley myself. Ninjago City is an incredible set but DA is just on another level imo. Maybe it’s because I bought at the same price you did, but I didn’t enjoy Ninjago City as much as I did DA. Also they are both corner pieces and together they could look like a mess without Docks. But yeah I’d keep DA, buy Gardens and use the rest to save towards Gringott’s.

https://www.stonewars.net/lego-news/interim-results-of-the-lego-ideas-90th-anniversary-survey/ Looks like oddly Bioncle is in the lead with Classic Space and Pirates behind. Still never got the appeal of Bioncle myself so I hope that doesn’t end up winning. As for Pirates, we already got Barracuda Bay so I’m satisfied and with a Castle set coming, I’m already not all too interested in that either. Classic Space is meh for me as well. Fingers crossed for Adventurers to pull through, would love to see some Egyptian sets.

I’m happy more shops were included, in particular I really enjoy the grey/blue color combo of Scribbulus and the door frame of Daily Prophet while small was a really nice touch. The only one I’m not crazy about was Florean’s because the bright yellow not being present all the way through. And the Florean minifigs is pretty awesome and its good to have some exclusive minifigs. As for what comes next, I see the next addition having 5 stores from left to right with the furthest right connecting to Ollivander’s . Gringott’s as a stand-alone building in the vein of WWW, Borgin and Burkes and Wiseacre’s evenly sharing a baseplate since they are the duller buildings, and Madam Malkin’s being the QQS of this addition due to its purple hues taking up a majority of the baseplate with a small portion dedicated to the Leaky Cauldron. As for minifigs, I see a more DH centric lineup since PS Harry and Hagrid showed up in Diagon Alley. DH Harry, DH Ron, Hermione in Bellatrix disguise (doubles as a Bellatrix), Fenrir Greyback, 2x goblin, Mr Burke, Tom, Arthur Weasley, younger Weasley twins from either CoS or PoA, and a couple of mannequins for Madam Malkins. I do imagine that the Ironbelly and some add ons to Gringott’s would come in their own set, thus giving both the Ironbelly and Gringott’s a beefier build.

Nice, I’ve never been a big fan of video reviews so this is good to see.

This is absolutely incredible poll idea, personally I’m dying to see Adventurers, Studios, or Classic Castle. Especially Adventurers though, I need some more Egyptian sets in my life. Yeah if you couldn’t tell I’m a late nineties boy and I’m proud.

I mean the thing I don’t get is most of us AFOLS here are just going to put it on a shelf and display for 99% of the time, there’s really no need to have all that accessibility. The aesthetic comes first since it’s a display piece and honestly on that front, the designers killed it because not only is it a worthy addition to the Ninjago modulates, it’s got its own identity as well. But if you want to complain, go right ahead, this is just my two cents.

If we get the hourglass piece in green, then I’d be down for a Slug Club, maybe another way to get young Tom Riddle as well. Draco in his black suit as well hopefully with a better hairpiece. Cormac I guess is more prominent than the Patil twins so I guess we could get him him as well. The repeats would probably be the trio again. Honestly I really loved the Yule Ball AC so I’m really having a hard time imagining how they top that one even if it’s not a Slug Club AC. I would love to get some more Umbridge related stuff like some cat photos since we didn’t get her office, which was a massive shame.

Thank the maker it’s an AT AT and now I’m incredibly excited I held off buying the system scale one! Definite day one purchase, always had a lot of nostalgia for AT AT’s especially the motorized one! Hopefully we’ll get more figs besides Veers and an AT AT pilot.

Lol. Personally I’m all for Lego doing the darker scenes, especially if they are pivotal to the movies, like Rise of Voldemort is the climax of GOF. I still remember getting spooks from the original Cemetery Battle when I was kid back in 05, but hey I’m still alive and slightly functional... Anyways all I’m saying is if people are saying that the Inferi Cave isn’t going to be made because of some zombies, Lego have made a lot of worst.

I mean they made the Rise of Voldemort set and that had Wormtail using Harry’s blood to resurrect a grim looking fetus. They even had a red piece to represent the blood and the knife. And it was the sight of the murder of Cedric Diggory and a KKK death eater if you want to be pedantry, so I don’t want to hear the excuses for an Inferi Cave which is nowhere near as bad. As for Godric’s Hollow, I just think it’s too obscure to be a set for it to be considered.

Yeah I agree with this, I feel like people go overboard with their hatred of fake leaks, when to me its really nothing to get in arms up about, only if they keep insisting their list is right after they have been proven wrong.Especially when the HP theme has had three incredible waves, I expect nothing less with this upcoming wave, regardless of what sets are coming out! Do I hope certain sets happen? Of course I would love a Chamber of Secrets or Second Task, but I’ve bought every HP set since the reboot, even ones I really wasn’t interested in when I first heard the name and no picture. Whoever runs the HP theme just knows what’s up and my expectations are always blown out of the water. It isn’t like Star Wars where you get a cool sounding list and then it’s just disappointing.

I knew 19 was the Toy Fair because of Random Blocker, but thanks for freshening up my memory for 2020. Really felt like twenty years since those leaks.

The set names have always dropped in January the last three years, so I’m still holding out hope that names should be in the next couple of weeks, especially if SW names got leaked so early. Names never really depended on the Toy Fair because the Toy Fair last year didn’t show any Q2 sets if I recall correctly.

I’m happy for all of you Clone Wars fans getting sets, but honestly I’m probably not gonna buy anything from this wave besides the Gunship. Maybe the Throne and Vault if Maul has some cool printing because I always wanted to get an Ahsoka. Overall not much for my own personal taste which is fine, I’ll just spend more on HP and Ninjago Gardens.

The UCS R2D2 is definitely disappointing to say the least. Lars Homestead sounds great but it’s probably a micro scale vignette type deal so I won’t be able to add it to my Tatooine display. But if it’s not I’ll definitely pick it up, still haven’t got the AT-AT so I’ll buy it in May to justify the Homestead. I’m not happy that the Gunship will be $350 unless it has a decent range of figures, I’m tired of big vehicles with no cool minifigs. Looks like Nino says that the $160 set is the Moff Gideon’s Light Cruiser, nice seeing Mando getting some love and Dark Troopers in Lego is something I never thought I would see.

I’m very weary of this list, seems like a wishlist from one of them Clone Wars die hards. No way you would have so many PT era sets. With that being said, I do really hope that the $350 is a MBS and not the Gunship.
