LetaLestrange

To be fair, it's very difficult to even make out his face on the pictures we have seen. Everyone said this about the microscale Hogwarts and (thank God) it hasn't happened yet. I want Gringotts, B&B and (perhaps) Leaky Cauldron, but there are many other things I would prioritise for future D2Cs than a second DA.

I can understand some of the disappointments discussed, but for me I am over the moon with this set. I don't buy any Lego outside of HP and (while it was still running) the Simpsons. But I have been severely tempted by several modulars (especially the bookstore). So getting modular-style buildings based on my favourite franchise, and one of my favourite locations, is just incredible! I get a nostalgic feeling from this set - with callbacks to the original series (with the cobweb and a few other little details) and the CoS video game (as someone else mentioned) with the Molly and Ginny and trio figures. I think it is just beautiful and I am so excited to get it. But now, more than ever, this confirms what I have always known - that Hogwarts castle needs the type of love and attention only a D2C could give. Please make it happen, Lego! I think the problem is that your eye automatically goes to the pink given the angle of the set on the box (and the angle of the photograph just makes it more noticeable). I think it will look better in real life.

Sigh, it looks like they are love potions. I can't believe they didn't just add a new print on the Quaffle piece!

JK Rowling didn't question the human rights of transgender people. She spoke out about sex-based rights for women and girls - which wouldn't be seen as "problematic" anywhere else except the Western world which is sadly regressing every day. She has faced misogynistic abuse ever since - including threats of two things which cannot be mentioned here, and grown men posting adult images of themselves in her threads with pictures children have drawn. Women and girls don't face human rights violations based on their gender identity but on their biological sex which is indisputable. Activists for women's and girl's rights in places like Pakistan and the Middle East (where women and girls face horrendous human rights violations, and even speaking out about them can land you in trouble) would attest to this. This shouldn't be a controversy, and it shouldn't be viewed as a matter of Group A Vs. Group B. Women and girls need sex-based rights under the law, just as transgender women need treating with dignity and respect and protection under the law. Many transgender women see no problem with what JK Rowling said. I would have ignored this comment but I see you continually posting misinformation and real-world political commentary with an air of smugness that really riles me the wrong way.

I spy a Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff uniform and some Pygmy Puffs!

Are the advent calendar and brickheadz also meant to be Sept. 1st releases does anyone know?

Aw the Yule Ball girls look lovely. GoF is my worst movie (but one of my fave books) but the Yule Ball is like one of my favourite scenes ever. I always wanted it in Lego form! Can't wait to make a version of Parvati in her Gryffindor uniform to be Lavender's BFF (I'll just pretend she always wears a bindi).

Imagine if Hermione's mom and dad really did come out.

YES! Imagine getting a cute little build every month. :D

Remember when JK herself leaked the Lego Niffler. lol that was amazing. They could hardly tell her off for it.

Hoping for pictures today, since it is releasing in 2 weeks from today.

A perfect accessory for a CMF would be Hagrid's "Happee Birthdae Harry" cake. It's a shame no appropriate characters would fit in a CMF (except PJ, pig-tails Dudley, which would be a waste IMO). Maybe we could get it in an advent calendar. Speaking of Dudders, I'd love an older Dudley figure at some point. Vernon and Petunia stay the same, but OOtP/DH Dudley is completely different to PS/CoS Dudley in terms of minifigure designs. It's a shame they cut out Dudley's transformation into a bodybuilder in the films, but I guess that was because of the actor.

I sure wish the CMFs would pop up in the UK. Last series WH Smith put them out 2 days early so I expect they'll do the same this series.

That could be true, I also wondered if that was why Lego put off announcing the CMFs. I'm also dying to see more of this game and get my hands on it - I just hope I don't have to buy a PS5 to play it, even though I likely will. I would also love a new Lego game, the way Star Wars has gotten remakes, so we could see all the new characters and builds and improved TT gameplay. I actually replayed the old ones recently and while the first game took some time to get back into, I really enjoyed the second one.

WB need to hurry up and announce another game that's being worked on...
