I like the Aunt Marge face print / regular figure. It captures her well. Petunia on the other hand was better last time. Her alternative face being a massive smile? Quite out of character. This has to be a generic female face reprint from somewhere.
-
Only thing seemingly unique about it is what appears to be Cedric with a new face and hair print? Interesting. Maybe we’ll see that again in a 2026 set. also the inclusion of child Luna and what looks like Daphne Greengrass are so similar it’s hard to know it’s not two variant of Luna. This AC and the builds have a very (above averagely) childish look / feel to them overall.

I think you’re onto something here. Good observation.

It looks to me like the clips (if there are any) will be on the left hand side of the tower. In the image showing them combined, it appears like it is recommended to clip into the second pin on the great hall just after the count yard. It looks like it connects possibly to the two pins on the great hall that are narrowly close to each other on each side of the thin corridor where the portrait hallway or charms class can go. Maybe they only recommend connecting it to one pin, and displaying it angularly. I think that makes sense / might be the best way to display it visually. It seems like the archway to nowhere on the great hall courtyard and the clip below it will be reserved for a possible future viaduct.

The silhouette of the astronomy tower in the background might be a hint of what’s to come in the future. I am becoming more confident that they are going to do sections of the castle beyond the 2018 micro scale.

I’m initially disappointed we’re likely getting another PS flagship set. In my mind I hoped for any of the other movies, but deep down I’m not surprised this is what they chose. All that to say- it appears that we have new unique variants, and we’re covering scenes that haven’t been done since 2001/2002. + a v nice nearly headless Nick and a unique professor. So honestly, I’m now pretty excited if they are going to cover all of the challenges + have the smaller castle part attached beside the tower with this as well. Only thing that isn’t a thrill was mentioned above- we’re probably getting another professor Quirrell. Probably a Dumbledore too. Then some generic Hogwarts students. Not too many opportunities to shock us with the figures. If they are going to do the Gryffindor homeroom, maybe we’ll get prefect Percy Weasley.

That seems like a really low piece count for a D2C… really hoping this isn’t a micro-scale.

We finally have some leaks of Aunt Marge’s visit lego set. They’re on the same ig as the one mentioned above pertaining to the Hogsmeade leak. - aunt Marge appears to be some form of big fig (no indication of a regular fig for her) - both front and back of the house. Hinges closed to one full house or opens to show interior. While it looks more complete than the previous version, perhaps it has less details? The back atrium is included this time (makes sense with the scene) - ripper the dog is present. All minifigs appear to be new variants? Aunt Petunia it’s hard to tell. Harry is the same as the night bus.

That’s exciting. If it’s true, I’m sure it will likely be PoA themed? Or maybe a mix of the movies. However we don’t have a lot of unique omissions from Hogsmeade at this point in time. it’s hard to say if they would make it winter themed again. Seems unlikely, but there are very few scenes in the series where they go there and it’s not winter? we already have Ron and Hermione + Harry in HBP outfits at their 3 broomsticks scene where Slughorn talks to them. We also have the trio + Malfoy and Dean in winter attire. I feel like they will just make it generic and random and not very scene specific. Just “here’s the village with some known characters like Aberforth, Madame Rosmerta, McGonagall, golden trio, Draco, Dean, Etc.

Is 76457 the rumoured D2C this year?
-
Yeah the last couple years the retail exclusives have been the more “mature”-ish collectors sets (later movies, more niche characters). Not sure what they were in the past. I’m pretty sure Shrieking Shack was before that? I’m intrigued. Wouldn’t be upset if it was a piece of Hogwarts though.
-
Is this new information?
-
Just finished building the new flying lesson. It’s a pretty great little castle set. I really like the variety and attention to detail in the exterior of this new Hogwarts line. The scene is very thorough too with all of the characters included. It’s a bit odd they released a piece that does not clearly fit into the overall castle build at the moment. I’m hoping they find a way to make use of the clips that are on it to eventually work it into the new system, and not have it floating as its own tower off to the side like the Owlery.

I’m with you! I had the 2007 set growing up, it was one of my first. Building the little Umbridge office with the cat stickers and cat plates and all the pink accents was so fun. Would love to see a modern take on that with way more detail. Also bring back grumpy scowl Umbridge face, most of her new minifigs she’s looking like a sweet little old lady. Dumbledore’s Army scenes are also endearing, so a way more detailed or thoughtful version of the room of requirement would be cool with some patronus lessons. Would also like a brick built serious in the fireplace tile again. I will accept that a $250 tower would be a risk to display this movie, but I really hope that one of the castle expansions in the future brings in the later movies. Even an Umbridge office add in would be cool.

I was thinking this too. In the past it was always linear progression of the movies, less some outliers. It appears like they’re taking the same approach again. It leads me to think the tower set this summer will probably be CoS themed. If they do something different I’ll be surprised. I know there’s debate around this, but with the addition of the new first flying lesson being from the rear of the castle + the now rumoured green house- I’m wondering if they intend to go more than 3 years with this line, and make parts of the castle such as the Astronomy tower, clock tower, bell towers?
