Living in the UK I have never been to the Wizarding World in Orlando but I'd love to go. I have visited the London studio tour but as it is inside the vibrancy and bustling packed nature of the outdoor space are a bit lost. Like you though just thinking of the location feels magical. I think the Ukranian Iron Belly perched on top of Gringotts would look great on display. :) So am I - I'm picturing lots of purples, oranges, trans green fire, owls, cats ... Just lots of colour and activity. A bit like me then! The Burrow and DA at the top, but basically excited for everything.

I'm looking forward to the Privet Drive set and will definitely be getting it, I've just seen a lot of people on here say they aren't interested or will just Bricklink the Dursley's. I had the original Privet Drive so there's nostalgia there, but I also love recreating all the scenes for display anyway. :)

Well for some little plastic blocks, this discussion just got very deep. ? Thanks for the explanation. A rather fitting comparison for the MOM and The Department Of Mysteries. Okay from the sets we do know exist, what are people looking most forward to? I have to say I'm really exited for Diagon Alley and The Burrow having missed out on them last time. I find the inclusion of another Ford Anglia in the Privet Drive set baffling frankly; it seems to me from the discussion on here that this is one a lot of people are going to pass on and for general consumers who have already got the WW set, the higher price of Privet Drive because the car is again included might also put them off buying it. I would have thought Hagrid's motorbike a more sensible inclusion if a vehicle was needed with the house for play purposes; it can be used to recreate scenes both from PS and OOP after all and I'm sure kids love a flying motorbike. Those pieces are gorgeous. I'm sure they'll crop up in Diagon Alley, The Burrow and more in the future. ?

I thought the first sets release 1st June? That's means there's 5 weeks until release.

I mean, it can't be long before Lego officially reveals them so even if they don't leak we should see them within a couple of weeks max I'd say.

I'm going dotty waiting now. ?

Oh yes. But considering we got Ninjago leaks earlier I'm not really expecting anything today. And I'm thinking we're going to have to sit through Hidden Side, Friends and maybe even Star Wars leaks first (have I missed any other themes?) so I'm gearing myself up to maybe wait another week.

I'm just glad that the microscale set comes with a minifigure. Because if this line followed the recent Star Wars promos, we'd just be getting a microscale scene and then I would be peeved.

That's what I was thinking, or maybe because it was more from the FA period.

To me I think including her is more respectful, but I can only think it's a legal thing stopping Lego. I'm not into any other 'toys' so I don't know if Hasbro or anybody else have portrayed her from films/in outfits from LJ or ROS. Otherwise I don't get it. For me I feel Jar-Jar sums it up quite nicely: 'How rude.' I know right. The shuttle was a rumour like the V-19 that never actual materialised, but like you say she could have been in the A-Wing or even Poe's X-Wing. Any of the sets really, just like Queen Amidala was included in the Gungan Sub. Otherwise I would have made her the May 4th minifigure or something, but that's clearly nor happening.

Oh jeez you've reminded me about baby Harry now! I've wanted that figure since that fake leak list for the first CMF mentioned it. It would be so cool if we got it in this set, but I'm not holding out hope.

I'm glad it's not just me! Don't get me wrong, I love getting the leaks, but I just want to see some actual sets now.

Anyone else just feel like ... Come ... on ... Lego!

For me Lavender can go two ways: She gets a cloth skirt and, hopefully, a bow and the figure is saved. She comes as is shown with no cloth skirt and she will be the worse figure for me since this revamp of the HP line. Ron isn't too bad, although he would have looked so much more accurate with two tone arms to make it look like he's actually wearing a t-shirt. Clearly cost factors there.

If it's true, some might say that the May 4th GWP is a promo-nition.

I'd say trans bright green is close enough. Trans green in a little dark and trans neon green a bit yellow.

Me too. I owned some of the 2000 sets, but I was in a dark age when the sets past Prisoner Of Azkaban were released. Since I got back into Lego four years ago I've always admired sets such as The Burrow, Diagon Alley etc and wanted some of the minifigures especially Bellatrix, Molly, Arthur and the twins. I've never got them though because going back and collecting HP sets would have been to expensive. Now the opportunity to get all these sets and minifigures updated again is so exciting. :)

I'm still amazed that even with the second wave of ROS sets we haven't got another sequel trilogy Leia. I know it's a sensitive situation, but I don't think ignoring her character is very respectful towards Carrie Fisher.

It feels like we are probably a hare's breath away, but that's what makes it so otterly frustrating.

Hare Hare! Otterley agree :)

I know, but no new information, I mean ... Whotter we going to do otherwise? ?

This is getting otterhand. ?

Exactly, I'd say there's notternuff!

Yeah, but then he'd just look like the Trolley Witch's twin. ? I think the current hairpiece shows his general hair shape quite well. This one would make it look like his top locks are quite long when they're not. He doesn't have that much of a flicked over fringe.

Ah, but with the set you get a gun.
