Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Balrogofmorgoth replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Really not trying to be a jackass, that’s just what it’s called. No one says Great Halls or Clock Towers, why say Room Of Requirements? I was just trying to make a simple correction. I’ve seen English speakers do it too, I’m not trying to single anybody out. Yikes -

Not being rude. Just pointing out a correction. No need to be so easily offended -

Ok just because I keep seeing people saying it this way. It’s the Room Of Requirement not Room Of Requirements -

I think if they continue the modular style Hogwarts sections, the next two sections that would really hold it all together would be the Quad and the Long Gallery. Both are large enough sections to be sea for sure. After that, a stand-alone Owlery would be stellar. -

This seems to be a very common sentiment but I’m just really looking forward to seeing the design of the Astronomy Tower. I’m trying to picture it in the style of the last three sections. No other small sections of castle have been reported to come with it, but I’m curious about that nonetheless. I wonder how the greenhouse will look with the tower too. -

You’re right, I forgot it was that version! Thanks! -

Yeah all those books with figures leaked this morning. None are exclusive or new but they’re nice regardless -

Tom Riddle will be the first exclusive minifigure for Harry Potter to come with a book. The only Harry Potter figures that have come in a book so far are Harry in his Gryffindor sweater, Hermione in her Gryffindor sweater, Ron in his Gryffindor sweater, and Snape (the same one as Quidditch Match and Whomping Willow). All the ones that have leaked are still coming. I believe all of those are another Snape, Dumbledore (same as Great Hall), Hermione (same as Hagrid’s Hut), Voldemort (same as Rise Of Voldemort) with Nagini (same as CMF), Harry and Draco in Gryffindor sweaters, Sirius Black (same as Expecto Patronum), and of course the exclusive Tom Riddle. The Build Your Own Adventure Book last year also included Harry in his Gryffindor sweater plus the build that was included which I agree is quite nice, especially since it comes with the new Sorting Hat which was previously only available in the Great Hall. If I missed any in these lists, anyone can feel free to correct me. -

I can see them doing something like that once they’re finished all the individual sections and most or all of them are retired. Still not super likely, but if it happens, that’s probably when it would be -

As weird as this sounds, I didn’t even think of Harry as a possibility. But now that I think about it, an exclusive Hogsmeade Harry is certainly on the table -

It’s as much a rumor as anything else kingnono has said. What else are we going to talk about anyway? There isn’t exactly a fountain of leaks coming in at the moment -

Fair enough if exclusive figures aren’t your thing. I just see any new minifigure as a good thing. It’s not like it’s a SDCC situation -

Why would you do that knowing this theme is ongoing and characters we don’t have yet will most likely be made before this theme ends? One way or another, Aberforth is inevitable -

Exclusive GWP sets have been around for a long time, including ones with minifigures. I don’t understand why it’s such a shock to some people. If there’s a D2C, expect a GWP. Exclusive minifigs have always been a thing. Personally, I think it’s better when there IS a minifig in these, because it adds to my collection where there would otherwise be a void. -

Honestly I love exclusive figures in these sorts of promos. There’s just something exciting about it, it’s part of the hunt. I hope they don’t wait until the last minute to announce it though, it’s nice to have a heads up so I can plan what to buy with it. Between the Diagon Alley GWP and the Star Wars microscale displays, I’ve grown to love small microscale display pieces so I’m really looking forward to this one. A figure is just a bonus -

She’s not even in HBP in the movie, which is what the sets are based on -

The only minifigs I could see being the exclusive Hogsmeade figure are Aberforth or Madam Rosmerta. Out of the two, Aberforth would be far more exciting -

Micro scale “only entirely non-Muggle settlement in Britain” GWP with exclusive minifig. This is from kingnono. Obviously it’s Hogsmeade, which will be really nice! And I really hope the minifig is Aberforth -

I haven’t seen it in stores but I remember the image leaking a while back along with a book that comes with the Hermione variant from Hagrid’s Hut It doesn’t connect so I just picked a decent spot. I put mine next to the open side of the Great Hall up by the high table and facing the tower. The alternate build is a reversible fireplace so if I do get a second one to build that version I’ll probably put it down near the foot of the tower with the Gryffindor dormitories -

I hope so, I’m considering getting a second copy of the 2019 book so I can have both different builds in my Hogwarts display -

It’s nice to have another way to get Draco in his House sweater -

Dumbledore and Sirius are very nice figures to have in those books. Granted that Dumbledore will be pretty much obsolete once the new CMFs are out -

I feel like this weekend makes more sense, my guess is that’s what it means, probably Saturday. That means only two more days of this -

Hopefully it means this upcoming weekend, I’m ready to see these sets.
