Kreacher, Slytherin Locket and Grimmauld Place... Could all appear in one set to be honest haha...

Just got my hands on the CMF They are absolutely fabulous! What a fabulous series, I'm truly happy with them now that I see them in the flesh! And once again, LEGO's customer service is top notch! Someone already mentioned this, but the LEGO Store in Paris sorted them out to avoid people touching the bags, and customers can ask for the ones they'd like, even getting them all at once should they want to

The way I see it, Gringotts not being included, that excludes Deathly Hallows completely. Borgin and Burkes not being in there also tells me that they really focus on the magical aspect of the Harry's first arrival. The description litteraly The only element hinting to a reference to any movie above Prisoner of Akaban is WWW. Now that doens't mean we won't get older variants that link into Half Blood Prince, but I could totally see them include Fred and George Variants like they did last time and not "waste" spots on trio variants.

Nope ahhaha, but I liked the picture

Ahahahah! To be fair, they're not even faithful to the Portrait of Lily and James included in Privet Drive. They updated the picture ever so slightly, adding James' scarf and sideburns for the CMF photograph, which is so much more detailled. I love it. I agree though, I'd much rather have good figures than meh designs to ressemble some sort of old drawing. Imagine all figures having to be based on previous designs from those sticker books. That'd be a bummer hahah

Nothing www.capes4minifigs.com can't fix Totally do agree with you though on the questionnable quality of that cloth

Those pictures and video review are great! Answered all our questions. I feel Kingsley's overal torso design isn't the greatest, looks a bit blank, but getting him in the first place is awesome. They're really growing on me Can't wait to get my hands on them... That is when LEGO will finally acknowledge they're all over the internet and stores

I get your frustration with some of them. Mrs Weasley I personally stick to the 2010 which is such a great figure. For Vernon, I used this customized version for ages before the official one, which I personnaly really like and will probably use now. And Lavender's torso design is great, not fond of the face or hair combo so switched back to my personal preference.

I was thinking that too. It's one of those obscure variants we talked about a few pages back. I guess they used the CMF Budget to make a new mould, because they can Her hair in CoS is quite wavy but no where near that mould. Not to mention the Burrow Set gave her the original hair, so I guess that's what we'll be getting if she ever shows up in a Cos Set. As for the new mould, it isn't unheard of a mould only ever showing up in a CMF, so who knows, we might see it pop up somewhere else, or might not...

Do you recall how they handled it? Or they just let it pass? Aaaaaaaaaaand that makes sense too hahaha Leaked publicity is free publicity in a way

Madness I always wonder in those kind of situations if at LEGO Headquarters all hell breaks lose and the community managers lose their minds

So LEGO is just not going to aknowledge that their entire CMF has basically leaked in pretty much HD pictures before their official release? Don't know much about leaking history accross other themes, is this a somewhat regular occurance or ?

Can anyone make out if Neville's robes are identical to Hermione's from series 1 ? It seems like he has some sort of brown sweater sticking out from underneath his robes but maybe it's just the picture. Odd to give him medium legs, when all the others now have normal legs (although I get that the Monster books hints at him being based on year three) Would have been great to get some regular legs with gryffindor robe printing, could have added some variety.

Some great figs! They defo put the most exciting ones on the front package. Then again, I'd say it was to be expected. Faithful to the standards of a Second Licensed CMF, some great new ones among a bunch of meh variants. They couldn't possibly top the first one, unless they had granted most of our wishes/predictions. The lack of Pomfrey, Crabbe, Goyle, Rita, Tonks, Lockard and Kreacher is a bummer. But as most have pointed out, some of those are still in the race for further sets. A lovely series altogether for any HP fan.

#Agreed. I don't see how anyone can expect Gringotts not being in Diagon Alley, It's literally the main feature of the movie scene. If the set had been a big 100 bucks, I could have imagined one or two shops for display. A 400 Diagon Alley is bound to be as complete as can be with several buildings. Would it deserve a stand alone set based on Deathly Hallows ? Sure, and we might even get one (Totally can see a dragon escape set, a mine cart adventure or what not, something in the spirit of the Horntails or Room of Requirement set, only slightly bigger. Few figs, Dragon, some carts or vaults etc.) And who knows, maybe the will even include the Dragon straight into this set. The leaked figures don't hint to that at the moment though... The building based on the Leaky Cauldron is a somewhat different matter, since theoretically Diagon Alley starts where the Leaky Cauldron ends. Maybe I'm alone on this but what really jumps to mind when I think Diagon Alley is Hagrid and Harry walking into the streets on John Williams magical tune. The Leaky Cauldron at that stage is behind them. Then again, depending on how they decide to display the set, I could totally see them including it, and I would love them for it. But if anything's gonna left be out, it better not be Gringotts.

Do we have any information as to when the CMF might be announced, let alone released? I feel like it's been far too long since anything's been leaked or officialized

I don't man, the quality is really too bad to tell Id say. Would be great news though in this somewhat disappointing set. Yule Ball is not what we expected but hey, some nice surprises might be come up ! We did get Flitwick based on Goblet of Fire/Half Blood Prince outfit after all in the Philosopher Stone based one.

Damn, The HOT Topic caught me again, thinking there'd be news. Buuuuut- -Nope! Ugh, The wait is unbearable is killing me

Available for pre order on Amazon

The Bartenders. Madam Rosmerta with Aberforth Dumbledore.

Haha, how funny! I also gave him a black cowl and I'm using that exact same head for Pius, I use the dark brown hair variation though. And other robes. Really nice figures though. Like the Mary Cattermole a lot too, clever choices.

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix _____________________________ A little vignette about one of my favourite scenes from the Order of the Phoenix. Poltergeist Peeves wreaking havoc. His character never appeared in the films, to my regret, so it seemed only fair to give him a LEGO makeover, based on the video games' design for all you potterheads you get the reference, enjoy . Chandelier design inspired by the fantastic Xenomurphy (If you don't know his work, check him out, he's awesome!) Blue waistcoat provided by www.capes4minifigs.com Thank you for your time and attention Geertos13 signing out

Another variation on Slughorn with his signature robes, next to him another potion brewer, Madam Pomfrey Bill Weasley with his soon to be wife, Fleur Delacour. Updated Fleur to have a more "femme fatale" quality to her looks. As for Bill he's a personal design somewhat based on the books description.

I would love to see a picture of that :)
