    Has anyone built  the whomping willow set?  How did you get the flower stems to stay in the tree?

    I found somewhat of a solution for this. I had some spare technic half pins that I plugged into the holes on the branches. The flower stems hold on better in the pins. Not a perfect solution since I only had them in blue, but it’s better than the stems constantly falling off.

    I’m happy to report a successful trip to my LEGO Store. I picked up the entire line including the Hogwarts Express and the BrickHeadz. They only had 3 each of the Hermione and Ron/Dumbledore BrickHeadz but I was lucky enough to snag one. The manager randomly asked if I cared about the condition of the box for the Hogwarts Express. When I said no, he offered me 100 extra VIP points to exchange my pristine box for a slightly dented one. I jumped on at that opportunity!

    If anyone goes to a Lego store today in person, please report your findings it will be greatly appreciated. Oh believe me I'll be a regular at all the three targets near me if I don't find it at my local lego store. Hehe

    I will be going to my LEGO store, so I’ll gladly report my findings. Planning on getting there early in case there’s a line.

    Should I sell my Lego Harry Potter sets from 2010/2011 to have enough money to buy the new ones?

    I sold all my older 2001-era Harry Potter sets (except The Final Challenge because it helped bring me out of my dark age) to buy the 2010 sets and I never regretted it. But then I didn’t care for the floor-pillars-roof kind of empty designs of the original sets, so the 2010 sets were infinitely better in my opinion. I considered selling those for this new line but decided against it in the end. Those sets are still great and had some awesome minifigs like Bellatrix.

    Yeah, I know what the horcruxes are (apart from Nagini, that’s the one I forgot about) and got confused about the wand because that’s just a normal wand, not the Elder Wand, and the cloak I forgot about, also, that’s the wrong snitch, that comes with Quidditch Draco (film 2), it’s film 1 that has the snitch that has the Stone inside of it

    I don’t think that’s the elder wand, I think it’s just a normal wand, I highly expect they’ll do an elder wand mould similar to what’s in the game for later sets (when it becomes important) or rather I hope they do, I’d love a proper elder wand mould

    I understand that the Elder wand should be important enough to get its own mold, but for all intents and purposes Dumbledore's wand is the Elder wand. It's been his wand since he defeated Grindelwald. There's nothing to suggest he ever carried a spare non Elder wand, at least not that I recall.

    I'm actually curious now if Gambon's Dumbledore had the same wand prop through all the movies he appeared in or if they changed it later when it became important to the story.

    I think it's pretty great that this wave also already gave us two of the horcruxes and two of the deathly hallows. I was hoping we would eventually get all of the horcruxes and all three of the deathly hallows, but since most don't show up until the later movies, and we still don't have official confirmation as to another wave I was worried we might never, so it is a pleasant surprise. Like other's have said, it would have been great if the elder wand was a different mold, but at least it is the proper color, and maybe later on we will get a new mold for it.

    We actually get 3 of the 7 horcruxes: Tom Riddle's Diary, Nagini, and Harry himself. As for the Deathly Hallows: we get the Elder wand with Dumbledore and Harry's invisibility cloak.

    They’re all based on Prisoner

    I just found some photos of the trio wearing sweaters in POA, so you're right. Faulty memory on my part.

    So in years 1-2, they have short legs. In year 3, they have medium legs. At what point do they grow into regular legs?

    But Ron comes with Scabbers. So he has to be from Prisoner of Askaban.

    I think that's definitely Prison of Azkaban Ron from his disheveled tie and he's not wearing a sweater (which I don't think any of them did that movie). So since the older Harry and Hermione are wearing sweaters under their robes, they must be from Goblet of Fire. Although I do think Hermione's hair looks a little more like her hairstyle in Prisoner of Azkaban.

    so starting as a newbie I'm gonna earn like £10 because I'll probably get like £200+ worth of sets xD

    If you are lucky, they'll offer double VIP and you'll earn 20! Just be aware it usually takes a couple of days to credit to your account so you won't be able to use the rewards the same day you earn them.
