Huigberts Builds

Or the London underground? Meaning there might indeed be some number mix up.

Ooooh, I love that design, definitely gonna steal it if the real one is disappointing. Love how you did the wand.

I would say reliable until proven otherwise, as he leaked some information before we received actual confirmation in the form of leaked images (Molly and Arthur mostly). I think he might have been the first to mention them and the rumored Burrow. And other long time trusted leakers haven't shot his leaks down yet, for what it's worth. But a leaker becomes obviously only truly trustworthy when we get an official reveal for all of the things he leaked, so we still take it with a small grain of salt.

The problem is that the rumor contradicts information we've gotten from very reliable sources. Mostly the set numbers. Of course there's still a slight chance there might be some truth in all of this, it's easy to mix up set numbers and we know that the current numbers were first for the overwatch sets but changed later so another small change in the set numbers isn't too farfetched. However, the thing is that no one reliable can back these claims up and only a few newcomers on instagram keep throwing these rumors out there on a hashtag that is known to have more trolls and reposters than actual leakers. Many here have predicted a set like this but that means nothing sadly. But with rumors like this we should always be warry to avoid disappointment.

I think the advent calendar is a really cool set. They only reused 1 figure, Dumbledore, as the McGonagall included doesn't have the double sided face which was visible from underneath her hat which in my opinion was pretty annoying on the original one. The Christmas sweaters are the best part about the set and great for changing up your display for the holidays. The exclusive Hermione is a great substitute for Dean Thomas his torso as the print doesn't continue on the legs, making it more suitable for custom first years with short legs. Flitwick is just a nice alternative outfit. Lastly there's the architect statue which is a nice piece to fill up the pretty empty ground floor level of the clocktower. So I think it's a great set, especially compared to the other advent calendars, way more new prints and more useful builds to accompany the main sets than star wars (unless you're really into micro builds). Yeah I think the play features are the biggest giveaway. At first I was still prepared for it being a micro scale set to avoid disappointment but now I see now way for that being the case anymore.

Yeah so definitely system scale. Wonder what the play features will be. My guess is that the set might feel like a couple of regular sets combined into a d2c. I don't think it will be a modular but more of the dollhouse style they've been using for Hogwarts so it would feel very consistent with the regular sets. I think that would make it even harder for people to recognised her. She would look too generic. I think her colourful set of clothes is the one thing that make her recognisable. If I would have to make a guess I would say the pink top yellow shirt one is probably the most recognisable one to pick.

I'm not sure how well it sold back then. I thought they only released that wave to coincide with the last 2 movies and didn't have any plans afterwards because the franchise was done. Since then the children who watched these movies have become adults with their own money to spend, and Lego noticed the rising demand of new sets as it quickly became one of the most requested themes. I think quite a few things have changed since the last time. Mostly it has been proven that the franchise has staying power after the books and movies ended and that it wasn't simply another hype.

I don't think this theme will go anywhere anytime soon. It sells too well, Lego must be crazy to end it already. I'm sure there will be at least 2 other years of new sets before they can remake a few of them, and there's still Fantastic Beasts for a couple of years. And there are also mobile games they could base tons of sets on if they're running out of ideas.

maybe we get Daniel Radcliffe

I really liked the wand boxes in the old set for in Ollivander's shop. I believe they were stickers then but I really want them printed this time around. I also want some printed tiles for the floor patern in Gringotts, that would really add to the interior. As I think the previous interiors were always leaving things a little bit too much to the imagination. Most other things have already been mentioned.

Oh yeah, I remember that. Wouldn't mind if they just told us though xD.

Thing is, Hermione didn't have the Time Turner, nor did she wear the outfit that has the print for it back in diagon alley. Instead she had the outfit seen in the Hogwarts Express set. I really don't think the time travel hint was about the time Turner as the item has nothing to do with diagon alley. A new Crookshanks would be amazing though.

That's very much possible. I think Flourish and Blott's is most likely to be the wrong one in that case and ??? obviously being Ollivander's as someone else pointed out.

He said almost right, so probably just different movie moments and 1 Harry (poa one). Or maybe 2 harry's, 1 short legs 1 mid. But definitely not 5.

Wait I'm confuses... So who's kingokongo? _kingnono_ or kingwong? I haven't seen either of them talking about a release date. Or is their an actual kingokongo? Yeah that was my comment And welcome btw! He also commented on someone who guessed "My guess, we will get different Harry's. Year 1 in ???, Year 2 in Flourish and Blott's, Year 3 in the Leaky Cauldron, Year 6 in WWW and Year 7 in Gringotts." to which Kingnono responded "almost right :)". So you're probably right.

Of course it could also hint towards us getting our one and only, well not only there are a ton of them now, time lord, the War Doctor, played by John Hurt, aka Olivander. Kingnono actually responded with a ":)" when I jokingly proposed that idea.

Finally, a set I don't dislike. The bowser looks pretty good, he doesn't suffer too much from this cubic style. Would Lego ever release only a single Mario figure at least this bowser would work next to it. The castle itself also looks pretty decent, there's actually a build this time around instead of what looks more like the overworld map in the other sets. I just hope Mario also comes in this set as I've no interest in the starters pack. Sadly I think all the other set reveals will go downhill from here, to me at least, as I don't see any other character work in this style the way bowser worked for me.

Never mind, just saw the leak, these aren't the clothes they wore in that scene. Yeah it's definitely new. This guy has been getting his hands on a lot of figures lately so I would say he's reliable.

Nah, that just means there will be some great figures. Come to think of it. I just had a terrible thought for many people's wallets. What if the Weasley's aren't coming in a Burrow set at all, but rather in a d2c diagon alley. I mean if the Harry in that set is based on poa, as implied by King nono, then it would make sense if there would be other figures from those scenes as well. And the entire weasley family showed up at the leaky cauldron in that one. There's also the Fudge rumor, which would also fit the poa scenes. Although then the pig comment of kingnono wouldn't really make sense.

Thanks! The eyebrows look way darker on Krum than I expected. Might want to get myself the Götze figure as well.

Which face did you use for Krum? As that's not the one he uses in the sets.

While that's the most likely option, we shouldn't forget about the cmf Voldemort that leaked incredibly early. And there are also September sets like the razor crest (although not a leak) being officially revealed, showing that stuff for around that time period is already somewhere out there. Besides, we already got the bag design so it's really not that farfetched.

Well there was this hint for the polyjuice gang so it might be for a cmf crabbe or goyle?

I agree, it reminds me of duplo as well. Still looks good though, but kinda big.

Only just now noticed the back of Hedwig. I like the mold even better now.
