Interesting that the Hogwarts Castle sections are still spaced out to retire over the next two years. To me this suggests that Lego either considers them interchangeable with the new castle sections or that they will return to this style after the 'anniversary' line. More interesting though is the fact that two Moments book are retiring within the year.

The Stormtrooper and Tie Pilot helmet are rumoured to be retiring by the end of this year and could potentially disappear before the real November/December sales start if Lego does stop production and they sell quickly.

It's Professor Sinistra. Her minifigure was leaked a while back and confirmed by a reliable source on here.

Do you think we might get golden Dumbledore or McGonagall as a polybag? Like they did with Obi-Wan for Star Wars.

Oh don't say that - it makes it feel more possible and yet ... Every other leaker says probably not. The confusion is real.

Connectable stands like with the Star Wars anniversary figures?

Plus a dock and second task. Perfectly possible although I doubt it will be that as much as it would be very cool.

Thanks. Good to know ... Although not good clearly.

Seems to be. Also, since you brought up the topic, before they changed servers, when someone made a comment it would automatically load if you pressed the pop up at the bottom of the page that says something like '+2 replies'. But since the server change, I have to refresh my page to get the new comments to load. Has anybody else found this? Extremely minor first world problem I know, but it is annoying and means the feature isn't working properly for some reason. I'm working on Windows 10 and Chrome.

Love that little feature. They also didn't forget the Winged Keys or end chamber in that version even at tiny scale so Lego definitely knows they exist (no excuse to ignore them now Lego haha).

Me too. This makes much more sense. Got to be surely? Would be very odd the have the Fluffy set (which may have the devil's snare) and then this, but nothing at the end. Even if they miss out the Chamber of Winged Keys, missing out the end chamber would make the 'challenge' pointless for kids and roleplay.

It's a rollercoaster that's for sure.

I'm here now! Honestly, I go away for a few hours and everything goes topsy turvy lol . Not built Winnie the Pooh yet though. The fact that the D2C is not the chess set and now unknown seems good to me. I think a 'proper' chess set could have been a real collectors piece and worth the D2C price, although it would not be my first choice as it would a) Be hard to display and B) I don't play chess, but leakers were suggesting it wasn't quite that grand so the high price did seem a bit off. I'm not saying the D2C is Gringotts (please let it be Gringotts), but it seems more like it could be a playset now.

My set was delivered today and I have yet to build it, but I got the figures straight out. I really love all of them apart from Pooh who just looks a bit like a clone brand figure to me. I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but I think it's the face. Anyone else?

Haha good one. I was thinking The Golden One, but Garry's good.

Received mine this afternoon. Hope you get yours today too. :)

A wand, a feather and a plaque saying: 'It's LeviOsa, not LevioSA with a Hermione minifigure (and maybe Ron, but probably not because ... Well it's Ron 😋).

I hope so! It feels like an age since I ordered it, although it's only been a week. Hope you hear the door tomorrow.

Yep ordered on release day.

Yeah me too. I got the dispatch notice yesterday, but it's still in Belgium at the moment.

Well I agree that a Rememebrall (if it is that) is a bit baffling over say a Golden Snitch, but Fawkes as the brick built creature is reasonable. Fawkes is not only well loved from the films, but even those who don't like HP might want a mythical phoenix build. Fawkes also ties in with Fantastic Beasts so that build could have even been meant for this year to tie in with the FB films. As for Harry and Hermione, I'm guessing Ron was excluded to balance the genders.

Maybe we were meant to be getting Fantastic Beast 3 sets in August, but the filming delay and pandemic meant that those sets have had to be pushed back and quickly coming up with some buildable sets which only require an odd minifigure was the best they could do.

I'm thinking they only had the budget to do two figures in the set and chose to do Harry and Hermione for the gender balance. Poor old Ron.

Sounds like it doesn't it. If it wasn't for the fact that it is not April 1st, I'd think it was a joke.

I feel like C-3PO in Jabba's Palace wondering why Luke would sell him to Jabba: 'Was it something I said?' The thing is, if we knew DH sets, Gringotts, and other minifigure/quality build sets were coming, then I think the fact that Lego is indulging so much in the theme, doing products that far exceed the basic required, would be a cause for celebration as HP fans. A lot of these sets actually sound like they will look great on display even of they are not our first choices. But at the end of a year which I think has made a lot of us rearrange priorities and appreciate the phrase 'Carpe diem' even more than some may already, to the get a line which suggests Lego is heavily invested in the theme but we will have to wait to get everything we really want, feels rather jarring and mistimed. I just hope next year they don't forget what really brought this theme back to life and got everyone so enthusiastic about it.
