Well this is good news. Any idea if it will in the modular 2021 format?

Is it possible to link to a specific comment within a thread, or only the main threads / or pages? TIA.

@Peppermint_M if you are still doing this, would you please apply the pink wand to me as well? I had sort of thought it was automatic and only just stumbled across this thread. (That's stumbling in a most ladylike fashion, natch. )

[MOC] HP Diagon Alley - Potages Cauldron Shop and Mr. Mullpepper's Apothecary
krimimimi replied to Wildcard's topic in LEGO Licensed
Great job with the DA extension. I really like these. (I'm generally not a fan of the lilac, so that's definitely an accomplishment. I think what it is is you've put in enough detail that I focus on it first instead of the colour choice the way I do with that giant pink expanse in the official QQS in DA.) I like the earthenware containers in front of the Apothecary, you've captured them well. -
[MOC] Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone - Quirrel duel
krimimimi replied to Victator's topic in LEGO Licensed
That first picture is just... *chef's kiss* I really like the mechanism to open or close the build, and add or remove the stairs / entrance. Makes it more "playable". Nice work. -
[MOC] - HP Hogsmeade Village - Part 1: Honeydukes
krimimimi replied to gilderoy_blockhart's topic in LEGO Licensed
Great job with this! I especially like the icee/slurpee and the cotton candy machines. (And the way you redefined "rock candy"... ) The interior is so well done. -
Hey, what are we calling the Hermione and Harry figs from 76393? "Maxifigs"? I was looking to see if anyone has MOCced some different hairstyles, like the Princess Leia MOC here on EB, and it helps to know the proper terms. (I was hoping to build Ron/ Snape/ Tonks (and Pettigrew) hair, and the Harry "wig" is probably my second least favourite Harry hair, so some modding there wouldn't go amiss either...)
-
Thanks B2B. That gives me hope it might become more available with time. (Other stores invariably charge less than the S@H.) Wouldn't have expected Sainsburys to carry lego, but then a couple of our drugstores do, and I wouldn't have expected that either.
-
Speaking of things on shelves around the world, the Chess set is available only at the S@H here in Germany (and ebay) and Fawkes is hardly more available. How are those two sets doing in other countries?
-
The mounted elf heads (want!), the dead Puffskein nest under the couch, the doxies in the curtains, Slytherin's locket, Kreacher! A piano so Hermione can teach Ron. The robes that attack Ron, the clock that shot at people. Extendable ears so the twins can try to eavesdrop on OotP sessions... This would be a fun set. I think the Boggart was in the desk, not a cupboard.
-
I think Grimmauld Place would make an excellent D2C in the modular format of Diagon Alley. I could see us getting an Advent calendar that expands on it, perhaps the scene with Arthur in the wheelchair after Nagini's attack.
-
Oh, the buildable chocolate frog card is an excellent point! I was thinking the chocolate frog tiles (and all the previous portrait artwork stickers) pretty much guaranteed it would never be a minifig, but you're right about the similarities. Fingers crossed. @BrickFunatic Katie might appear in a Hogsmeade bridge set? (I'd like that set, I've seen some nice MOCs.) And Angelina (and Alicia) seem(s) likely to appear in a CMF or something, because they're clearly keen on boosting the diversity of the minifigs, so I wouldn't count them out even if the Quidditch set appeared later. On the other hand, they could do the same with Keeper Ron, etc., so...
-
I'd be thrilled with either common room version. (Great ideas!) Maybe go with the Sirius one and then the next year's Advent Calendar could flesh it out and make it Christmassy? Shrieking Shack set seems a lock. Like the 2021 Hogsmeade, it would help them to still appeal to people who otherwise dislike the reboot. I'd expect Scabbers, possibly Ron, Snape and (if we have the boys) probably Hermione as well. (I honestly wouldn't mind if they went back to alternating which sets had which of the trio in them in the interests of a more diverse minifig collection.) I really hope they don't combine the ship and the Second Task. One is crucial to the story the other feels like it's mostly just about trying to take advantage of the HP-extraneous interests of a segment of the market. (Boys like boats and trains... ) While perfectly fair as market strategies go to offer the Durmstrang set, combining them is a high hurdle price-wise and would exclude many from owning a key scene. I can't quite see them offering Gringotts as a D2C, unless it came with other buildings that made it very expensive. It's such an iconic location (just think of the amusement park advertising) that if it's remotely affordable, I think they'll make it a regular set. I feel like the OotP and HBP Quidditch team lineups have better known characters, and could see the sets being delayed until they cover those films. (I'd like Keeper Ron, Chaser Ginny and some of the better known Slytherins, Goyle, Crabbe or Zabini.)

Broken link. try this: https://imgur.com/gallery/4RWnUTz Nice set up. I particularly like the bridge.

You're welcome. Yes, it's a digital MOC as well, so there are additional parts, like all the sloped grey pieces that make it look like it's sitting on a little cliff. Making a digital model can help you plan the pieces you will need to get to build it from what you have. That really helps you save on shipping. > Why do this right in the middle of the range? The problem is the designers have said this isn't the middle of the series, but that 2021 represents a "soft reboot", so we're sort of back at the beginning again. If you look at the earlier series of HP lego, they redid things, too, and rather frequently. (There've been seven different Hogwarts castles over the last 20 years, three in the last four alone.) We've already seen our second Great Hall since 2018, and this winter we'll get our second Clock Tower, so I guess it made sense to them to change the look some more to make it seem less like a re-hash. But even without the green roofs, it was always going to be difficult to display them together, because (@Textorix model notwithstanding) it's kind of difficult to make sense of a display with multiple variants of the same builds. Other than that, the designers have also said they felt they'd covered pretty much all the iconic locations in Hogwarts, so we weren't likely to see things like the Bell Towers anyway, regardless of roof colour. (I'm still hoping for a bridge set like the 2011 (battle of) Hogwarts set.) But if you're interested in trying to build your own missing buildings, our @Micmac had posted some plans with parts list on rebrickable, and there are plenty of HP MOCs here on Eurobricks to give you ideas.

Hey, Paul. That piece doesn't exist in dark grey, it's available in flat silver from two 2017 sets and sand green from the HP 2021 line. (The picture you're looking at is a render of a digital model.) You can find some of the pieces to swap out on the lego bricks and pieces, for example in the parts to the Great Hall. (It won't let me use the direct link, so select country and enter 75954 for the set number, and you can order the matching roof parts directly from lego, or try bricklink.) @deskp had also done an angled build that I really like that managed to incorporate some height and the bridge. You sound like you might like that, too.
