TBH I can't remember the exact wording. I should have screenshot the page, but

That's a good point and I don't think it will be the CMF, but they wanted to know possibilities to avoid disappointment so just throwing it out there. Lego has done weirder stuff. Also, I have to wonder if the CMF were street dated and if the Romanian toy store has been contacted by Lego.

Hhm I don't think the side part works. Looking at movie clips of Ollivander the current hairpiece does seem more accurate especially from the side angle. Just a shame about the sideburns.

Well it is only a rumour, even if backed up by the likes of FalconFan. That being said, Lego did do the VIP question event so something is being announced "soon", but it could in theory be the CMF.

I couldn't have put it better myself @sebastian666. I'm so grateful for this community and love our banter. ?

@Metanoios91 Seeing your profile pic just reminded me how cool it would be if Lucius came with his Snake topped cane. ?

What hairpiece would you use? Or would you want them to use some of the budget to make a new piece?

I think the GWP version is appropriate and, as much as it would mean me getting a duplicate figure, I'd rather they just reused that figure and spent the budget on other new characters rather than slightly changing Olllivander's design.

We don't know what minifigures we are getting yet. A Harry and Florean Fortescue have leaked, and a Ron and Hermione are probably a definite, plus FalconFan has hinted at Lucius. But as much as I want Rita and I think we will get Lockhart we don't know yet.

? I don't think so. An architecture set can have that amount of pieces without costing ridiculous money because the pieces are small. If it was for DA that amount of pieces would make it approx £700-900. And this is presumably partly meant as a playset after all so that is just too much.

As much as I love all the builds, it's the minifigures I truly love. Lockhart is one of my most wanted too. I was really hoping we'd get him in the CMF with a cornish pixie, but alas it's not to be. I can't see him not being in DA now though. Lucius will also be welcome although his last figure wasn't bad and again I think he must be in DA and if somehow not in a set next year. I also really want a Rita Skeeter, Fred and George.

Ah I see. I thought he had been deposed! It's not so much He Who Must Not Be Named now as They Who Must Not Be Named. ?

Nono's back?

Um about 3-4 weeks ago. Time flies. EDIT: My pictures suggest it was 15th July.

A Harry wearing the outfit he is wearing to Diagon Alley in Philosopher's Stone with a 'sooty' face print and a Florean Fortescue.

@Metanoios91 @Accio Lego Exactly. Thank you. In fact all I can hear in my head now is 'We have a 4712. I repeat we have a 4712.' ?

That's what I'm hoping they will do as I think it might be the route I take if so. They never use to, but for some (maybe all I don't know) of the last few series Lego has sold a full box on their website at some point.

Diagon Alley without Gringotts ? On another note, looks like no CMF reveal so @Lego-Freak your models are wrong on all levels. I'd sack Stan if I was you. ?

Just the 'pick' pun lol - it's just feels like such a long drawn out process that it seemed right that your word choice made me think of growing and picking vegetables! You get all the references anyway. ?

Plant the seeds, nurture them, water them, watch them grown, pick the questions ... Oh no sorry that's vegetable. ?

Ah well that's because 'The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.' - Albus Dumbledore

I don't know, there's more of Rita in the books than the films and I think she's as developed as any other character.

I was thinking maybe like Grawp. ?

She wears a lime green outfit. What's not to love? ?

I'm thinking if anything is left out it will be Borgin and Burkes, but the Knockturn Alley sign is a, excuse the pun, sign we will get it as a standalone set. Now I know Borgin and Burkes is not in Diagon Alley, but that didn't stop Lego putting it in the last DA set. Thankfully now this theme has grown to a place where Lego could easily do a Diagon Alley set and then a separate Borgin and Burkes. Good times!
