Metanoios

First of all: He has white hair and beard. He has normal legs but the print on torso and legs looks different from 2018

The jumper 2x2 plate in front of Fawkes made me wonder if the 2018 Dumbledore is getting the same treatment as the 2018 McGonagall got in the Transfiguration book (regarding a new printed cloaked leg/skirt piece). Because with the normal legs he had previoulsly he can't be centered on the display jumper plate in front of Fawkes. But if he had the cmf style robe piece, he could be centered because of the anti-stud in the middle. So his leg piece might be exclusive, @Legofania ?

Yes since the neck part of the Basilisk is posable. It can be rotated at two points to flatten him to the ground level or raise his head

This flying lesson set totally looks like a brick built remembral to me

Yeah I share the same exact feelings. This and the chamber where our only chance of getting that mould and now this chance is wasted till the next remake. I hope the designer included at least the improvements of the flight mechanism that Jason Alleman presented in his Youtube video of the Hedwig set

Gold or similar to Chamber of secrets set?

Fawkes looks good but another let down is that they included the cmf fawkes instead of the flying fawkes which would have been so much better in combination with the Chamber of secrets set

The chess set is my least favourite of the sets so far. The pawns should have gotten a new body in combination with helmet mould at this scale (or at the least reused the spanish armada helmet) and the king and queen shoud have gotten different helmets/crowns as well. The chess figures just don't look good. And Ron can't even ride on the horse

Yes but he mentioned 2 August sets leaking and I was wondering if I missed one

Which other August set has leaked besides the buildable figures?

Megafig Hermione has her school uniform skirt for the first time (now they just need to translate it into minifig form). I wonder if they will have "back printing"?

The sorting hat is stored behind there

Judging by the sheer number of frogs and their colours in almost every room (white, brown and pink), I guess the CoS set was designed by Nicolaas Vás who also made two of the Hogwarts Moments sets this year

His eyes are weird. But Hermione has an uncanny valley look as well

They are supoosed to be scales

The front basin in the 76386 Hogwarts Polyjuice Potion Mistake set has hinges on top of the mirror build and can therefore swing away to "open" the entrance to the chamber

The tower roof section of the fluffy set could be an easter egg for the potion challenge (which appears only in the book)

The candle holder in Lockhart's classroom is a completely new mould

The Fluffy sets uses recoloured vine pieces for the Devil Snare. I hope they are either dark green or the (not bright) green and appear eventually on Bricks and Pieces because they would be another great vegetation piece

That is not Ron in the CoS set. It is Colin Creevey

I told you they would recolour it

But the positive is they are actually printed tiles and there is many different designs not just one per set

The new Dumbledore is also all I wanted (white hair and new robe colour) and the Chamber of Secret set includes Rawenclaw and Hufflepuff robe versions

Nearly headless Nick is glow in the dark now

The final sets look really good!
