Oh okay but it isn't used in the Weird Sisters scene

The weird sisters do not have a grand piano in that scene (and even in the books there is no piano player at all associated with the weird sisters)

A chair (maybe for the piano). My point is that there is no piano like that at the Yule Ball. Just rewatched both scenes (Yule Ball and Deathly Hallows) and it looks like the one from Deatly Hallows

Why is no one mentioning the biggest visible micro-build (the grand piano)? It is not from the scene with the Weird Sisters during the Yule Ball but it looks exactly like the piano at Grimmauld Place (Deathly Hallows scene with Ron and Hermione). So there is at least one micro-build that is from Grimmauld Place

What happens if a cereal crumbles in the packaging? Do they have to throw it away or relabel it?

The Mexico factory shutdown is propably also to blame for the later release of the summer sets in the United States

I made a MOC of the Boggart Cabinet this weekend. It uses the mirror piece from 10255 Assembly Square I also used the tensegrity concept in my Hungarian Horntail display piece:

Since we are not getting a Draco in his HBP suit anytime soon, here's my custom version:

They are already working on 2021 sets and beyond right now, so it propably is the next wave. I can't see them including a Easter Egg for the Fat Friar in Diagon Alley. Maybe in the Advent Calendar

They are already sold out. You can't preorder them anymore, only from third-party sellers

At least one or two generic wizard civilians would be nice to populate the scenes (instead of Fudge and Quirrel because we already got them)

Personally I'm hoping for a Quidditch Pack with all four houses, ideally dual molded legs with leg and arm prints like Black Widow in the Marvel pack

The Elsa head from Disney CMF 2 works also very well for Fleur. And I think the head they used for Hannah is good. Just Fleur should have gotten a better one from the start

I use that face for Parvati Patil and the Rose Tico head for Cho

Lukas (publisher of the stonewars website) writes in the comments under the mentioned article that they only have solid information for the EoL sets of the first half year (which don't include 71043). They have still to get the information for the EoL sets for the end of the year. Once they get that info they will share it in a new article.

Nowhere are they saying that on Stonewars. The article is about an official statment from the Lego Group on how Covid-19 has affected their supply chain and why there are certain sets currently sold out (but they said that they will restock them). The factory in Mexico was completely shut down which had a great impact but it is now resuming production. There is sometimes specualtion about end of life dates, but this is mostly not based on solid info but rather experience and extrapolation from previous sets. But there are exceptions to the rule of a 3 year production cycle like the Death Star or some Modulars like Pet Shop or Parisian Restaurant which were being sold a lot longer than a 3 year period. TLC even adresses a higher demand for certain sets during the pandemic (like 71043). As long as it sells like hot cake they will not retire that set

The interesting part is the print on them in a normal set (Demon Bull King 80010). Let's hope this continues for that piece in other themes as well

I am glad that the prices for Europe are at least somewhat cheaper than the US prices. Still high but not as bad as some earlier rumours suggested

Is the small robot in the firetruck set a reference to an older theme?

It's because of the centaurs which have a great appeal beyond Harry Potter fans

As far as I can tell from the Designer Video there are no stickers and therefor only prints in this set (and also a Fright Knights reference to set 6007)

This looks great!

What kind of marker or colour brand did you use? It looks very good for a custom paint application. Sometimes it can become too glossy (which is not the case with your paint). Maybe the rubbery material is of advantage here

He's in the third picture with that hair in my latest figbarf (just use the small right arrow in the frame)

I decided to use the old one till a better alternative comes along. Yes, if they go the cheap way, they will just reuse the Gandalf/Dumbledore beard. Maybe they could recolour Unagami's beard in lbg. That mould is still in the production cycle and way only used for one figure since. It's a little bit to tidy for him but would suit the goat aesthetic quite well
