Figures look great digging Bogarts Snape and Slughorn the most but why doesn't he come with the hourglass?

Just got out of work and damn do these sets look good. The Express was unexpected but definetly welcome. My personal favorite thanks to a great Lupin figure and the Candy lady. Whomping Willow is too small especially with the set being named after it. But it doesn't look bad when the car is in it. The castle portion is pretty good with Gryffindor Common Room and Snape's Office. Confused of what room Seamus is in. Hope it's not DADA office I think it would need to bigger. Qudditch is good just not a Day 1 buy like WW, GH, and HE. Prices feel good and I feel like I actually get a good amount especially being used to the Star Wars BS. I don't why but these sets feel so magical and charming like the first two movies. Real great job capturing the feel of the movies. Or I'm drunk on nostalgia.
-
I would argue otherwise. Think of the first scenes of Sorcerer's Stone. Harry is shown as an isolated child that no one cares for. But then he goes to Diagon Alley and everyone knows him. This is a feeling he never experienced before. Yes it doesn't get to him yet but Lockhart is a warning. That he must not get engulfed by it. Everything in the first two movies is all wishy washy and then he slowly starts realisizing in each film that being The Boy Who Lived isn't that great and he might have to lay his own life down and there is great responsibility and sacrafice to follow. He also tells Harry about the Basilik. Also being held in high regard means that they are good. Harry was hated for being a snake whisperer but in the end he was a hero. Lockhart was a celebrity then he became certified insane and revealed as a fraud. That's all I'm gonna say since this is a lego Harry Potter leak thread not a discussion of Chamber.
-
Bingo. I always die laughing because of Lockhart and his antics when I watch Chamber. I think it's sad that these two movies are obscure because they are way more lighthearted than their successors. They always had a special charm to them and I love them. POA and GOF struck the balance perfectly and then after the series kinda went too dark imo. Lockhart was an important lesson to Harry that even though he was famous like Lockhart, he should't let it get to his head like he did in Deathly Hallows when he told Ron "I'm the chosen one, you have no part in this."
-
Lockhart obscure? Did someone use a memory charm on you? He was a huge part of Chamber. I think if we miss Lockhart again especially when this wave zooms in on 1 & 2 it would be a shame. If we get Susan Bones and Seamus we should be getting the teacher with the greatest hair.
-
Olivander looks perfect. I actually would prefer a D2C Diagon Alley and have various sets come out each year to build hogwarts. POA can be the clock tower, divinations, and Hagrid's hut with Buckbeak. GOF can be Yule Ball. OOP can have Umbridge's Office and Room of Requirements. Half Blood the astronomy tower. Now I pray the girl's room and the Chamber is somewhere there.
-
Makes sense as June 1 and June 15 are Friday which is a day alot of stuff gets released. I still believe that WW has the POA figures especially with the designer saying a flavor of 3. Who knows maybe Filch while be part of the set as well. I also don't believe Snape's Office will be part of the build as having The Whomping Willow, Ford Angelia, and Snape's office in one set seems a bit much. I hope the Willow gets a decent sized build, it would be nice looking display piece with the car stuck in its grasp.
-
I'll betting Filch is from the CMF as well. Especially with Seamus not belonging to a particular set. But I hate this Filch figure. There is a point where being too acurrate can hurt a figure and this is a great example. Hairpiece is just too much.
-
My code was every DADA teacher besides Lupin and Quirrell because they come in WW and GH and don't have alternate attires. I forgot Mad Eye for some reason sorry about that. Lockhart has two attires so the pink one would be in this set for the chamber while his normal one in the CMF. As for Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Draco maybe grownup versions? And for Dumbledore POA version and afterwards? After that I based around houses with two from Ravenclaw (Cho and Luna), one from Hufflepuff (Cedric but there's no other really main character Hufflepuff), and Crab and Goyle from Slytherin. Then I broke it down by movie: didn't do Stone as the GH which connects to it already has it covered, Chamber has Lockhart, Crab, Goyle, Sprout, Lucius maybe a Moaning Myrtle, POA is covered by WW which has Snape, Lupin, Sirius, Pettigrew but I added Trewlaney and Dementors as they are essential, Goblet has Mad Eye, Cho, Cedric (maybe a future set gives Yull Ball to get Krum, Fleur, Olympe), Order has Luna and Umbridge, Half Blood has Slughorn (maybe Lavender Brown), and Deathly Hallows for Voldemort, Narcissa, and a couple of Death Eaters. But you are right: impossible to guess but you can have a general idea.
-
Here's my prediction for the rooms/areas in the D2C. I think it will based on a lot of the Hogwarts of past with some new flavors. Astronomy Tower Gryffindor Common Room Dumbledore's Office DADA Classroom(with cage of pixies and the Lupin box, can't remember name, maybe Umbrige gets her own version) Girl's Bathroom/Chamber of Secrets. Greenery Room of Requirements Divinations Classroom Potions Room Bell Tower The entrance or bridge similar to the 2011 version Minifigs: Sprout Trewlaney Lockhart Umbrige Slughorn (with the hourglass) Neville Cho Chang Luna Castle Knights x2 Dementors x2 Cedric Crab Goyle Voldemort Narcissa Lucius Death Eater

Just did the google search and I think those are customs not official. Now the leaks are accumulating, maybe we can full set pics soon. Personally want to see if Whomping Willow is POA and includes Lupin, Snape, Pettigrew. And Sirius. I think this is where Snape belongs as the all the leaked figs (Ron and Harry Aragog and Marcus Flint) so far have been sets not CMF.
-
Lel is this a leak? Now I wish I was in England because Ebay scalpers are going to be hard to deal with. Feeling it is (I already feel weird as is walking in the toy section, it's about to get weirder)
-
Man I hope its POA Knight Bus. Because I don't see them releasing two Knight Buses at once. And I love that vehicle so much. Also what's the best way (and cheapest) way to get every singe one of the 22 minifigs of the CMF series?
-
Between just the UCS Cloud City ($500) and D2C Hogwarts ($500) you can say the wallet is gonna hurt alot. But I know which one I'm getting first. Then the Great Hall ($100), Whomping Willow ($70), X-Wing ($80), and the countless amount of HP minifigs I'm gonna buy. It's gonna be rough.
-
Finally some new leaks to talk about not just speculation! Man these sound really good and I think I believe him. The Great Hall is so amazing and for $100 it's awesome so I think Lego is trying their best with these sets! And 6 minifigs doesn't sound absurd because The Burrow was $10 less and had the same amount of figures and a pig. Can't wait for pics!
-
As a fan of both Star Wars and Harry Potter I'll tell you this. Star Wars is so huge and even though they remake alot of sets, there is still alot more they coud do especially with new movies (Canto Bight, Jedi Temple, Yavin IV, Geonosis Areana, Padme's Starfighter) list goes on. I feel like there's a limit to how much sets they can do since the majority of the films are at Hogwarts. It's just a much smaller realm. 5 years tops this line goes.
-
I absolutely love the Snape and how its an updated throwback to the old one! Kylo and Snape are literally twins! I thinks it's the best one yet.
-
I actually doubt there's a Great Hall in the UCS. Why buy the Great Hall if there is one included in the UCS that could be bigger and better? That would be stupid and redudant. I think Great Hall attaches to the rest of it. As for rooms, DADA office, Chamber of Secrets, Astronomy tower, Girl's bathroom, Dumbledore's office, Room of Requirements, Greenhouse, Gryffindor Common Room. Something like that.
-
Yeah no way they put another great hall. The one we got is sufficient. I hope they put focus on DADA classroom, Dumbledore's office, the astronomy tower, girl's bathroom, so much other stuff. I hope we get Slughorn, Madeye, Umbridge and characters from all 7.
-
It would be my dream for the line to stay permanent. There is so much they could do and I think there is still a huge following. This is the first line that I will buy every single set from. Just gotta find somewhere to put all these sets...
-
All I want to see is a remake of Diagon with the Weasly Emporium from Half Blood Prince or a Ministry of Magic Headquarters set. Knight Bus too because I love that vehicle.
-
You are right I'm just dreaming because I would love a lego cherry blossom tree. But if there was a feature of the flowers could shake off...
-
Imagine if we got the Whomping Willow when it was in bloom? One of my favorite scenes in POA
