joeee

For those who have seen the leaks: Did Hogsmeade get leaked? May I ask how many buildings it comes with? Will we have to buy multiple to make it look like a "full" Hogsmeade? Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I hope he comes with a hat! If not, that's cool too. He already looks so good.

Even though my minifigure scale Hogwarts castle already fills my shelf...I am SO curious if there will be more Hogwarts expansions. Looking at the $100+ ones....I hope two of them are giant Hogwarts buildings! Edit: Also, my worries for the sales of this theme is slowly fading. It seems more popular than ever if LEGO is producing so many sets. WAIT...if they're "anniversary" sets, I'm afraid they may me remakes. With the Great Hall being remade many times, in my head it seems fitting to slap a 20th Anniversary banner on a remake than a Hogwarts building they've never built before.

Thank you! I'll keep checking the Targets in Irvine and Tustin and let you guys know!

Ooh! Have you guys been seeing the sets appear at Target?

Are the glasses a light gray and doesn’t appear cause the scans are a bit low quality?

I gush over the smallest things: TLG using a slant piece to give the Monster Book of Monsters a tilt gives it THAT much more character!

Yeah, if I was 12 years old again just who got into LEGO Harry Potter, I would definitely want 71043 even if it is 16+!

oh YEAH! I completely forgot about that. I bet my brain subconsciously remembers it but forgot that the image came from TLG.

Ooh! It would be so cool if they made a mold of the front and back covers too! The claws would look really good and make it stand out from a regular LEGO book.

The Goblet of Fire we are getting is supposed to be tall right?

Ahhh! The Harry minifig is so awesome! I know in the films, B&B is pretty deep in Knockturn Alley. If the entrance to Knockturn Alley is to the left of Gringotts...I imagine TLG could put the shop just at then end of the DA set to the left of Gringotts....so maybe we will be getting B&B.

You guys! Yesterday I finally got the 71043 set! Funny story, I watched the video recently of the designer talking about it. He said the amount of pieces is the same number as his first ever LEGO set. When I called in to see if the Hogwarts Castle set was in stock, I asked, "Hi, do you have set number 6020?" they replied "which set is that?" and rightfully so! I felt so bad I mixed up the set number and number of pieces.

I received an email with the following message about my order (US: Hedwig and Burrow): Thank you for ordering from shop.LEGO.com. Unfortunately, the item(s) listed below are currently out of stock and it will be a little longer before we can ship the out of stock item(s) to you.If you made your payment via credit card, please note that while we will authorize your card shortly, it will not be charged until we ship the out of stock item(s). You will receive a separate email notification at that time. Did we receive this kind of message for past pre-orders?

Oh boy, LEGO Quidditch stands based on POA's Quidditch field is a dream! I've always loved how Cuaron stripped a lot of the banners from the field to emphasize the shift of tone for the series.

Oh man, I’m suddenly excited to see if Lego is going to attempt the all the slants and “uneveness” of Diagon Alley.

I always liked Florean Fortescue in the POA book. Imagine if TLG added his shop!

I have a random question: it might be me, but when I was building the Room of Requirement...the instructions asked to insert the gate piece into the hole of the door. For some strange reason, I couldn't insert it from one of the sides ...but when I flipped the door and tried that side, the gates went in easily! I recall these gates have always been able to be inserted either side. Just curious if this is a me thing!

Does anyone recall if the last year's wave (Clock Tower, Hagrid's Hut, etc.) was released BEFORE the announcement or leak of the Beauxbaton Carriage? I forget if I already was building the clock tower and hearing the news of more sets was SO exciting.

i think you're onto something! This sounds fun. Could Hedwig come right after Diagon Alley since that's when Hagrid gifts her to Harry? If you really wanted to be technical, you could save the little fire build thing from the Burrow and build it right before the Astronomy Tower. LOL.

GoldenNinja3000, you definitely did start something! I just ordered the AT and RoR from Zavvi! Thank you for suggesting Zavvi! It was perfect because the only one I truly want for now is the AT. Can't wait to build with you all!

YetiZombie, you managed to pinpoint something that LEGO could make that I REALLY want. Ahh, the dream would be to have a torso where that sweater isn't ripped...and then a sweater that IS.

Ooh! Have they finally made a new broom piece specially for the Wizarding World?

I hope my thoughts are wrong, but my gut is telling me: bell towers next year with battle elements. And since they were aiming to do two films a year, they will be done after next year. So, remake of Great Hall in 2022? I'd hate for remakes so soon...but if I had to be positive: better to have remakes than for the HP theme to be dead again? I hope I am wrong though and we continue to get different parts of Hogwarts.

Looking at that Hidden Side set, I wish the Great Hall got a topper with window too
