Well theoretically it could be the Nightbrother with Ahsoka and Maul's duel as a small sidethingy

Opinions differ ofcourse but I think designwise this is the best Potter wave so far, the Astronomy Tower and Burrow are stunning! The minifigures are lacking though

Tons of things, he's one of the most reliable leakers out there

Gotta be totally honest here, HP is much better than HS imo

Still closed in the Netherlands

I can see why people like the 2020 version but my favorite is definetely 2018 I would suggest going for the HBP layout as it is (at least imo) the most complete and I'm pretty sure also the model displayed at the WB Studio Tour. It has the Astronomy Tower and the Viaduct wasn't moved to the front of the Entrance Courtyard yet The moving of the Viaduct for DH and FB annoys me as well but it's not a new bridge. The bridge we see in DH connects the Entrance Courtyard to the mountains but it's the same version of the Viaduct we see in all the other movies connecting the Entrance Courtyard to the Viaduct Entrance Pre-Deathly Hallows Post-Deathly Hallows

Which image is that? I don't see the front of the book anywhere

Same here, I only buy from LEGO directly when there is no other option. Besides the price difference shipping from LEGO is also just awfull

Exclusive minifigure but that could still be either a character or variant imo

That would make sense yeah. I didn't really follow the whole GWP discussion, just a bit of it Rosmerta or Aberforth seems like the most logical inclusion to me

Or Aberforth, I haven't seen any other suggestions that would make sense

- We were annoyed at all the summer sets leaking but without HP - The sets were revealed - DA is not an upscaled version of the GWP - WWW and Borgin and Burkes confirmed to be in DA - 75978 is a new set and not DA - There's a GWP coming based on Hogsmeade - Advent Calendar is OotP based - There is another 'Tom' in one of the sets, unsure which Tom it refers to (might be the Innkeeper or several different versions of Voldy) Pretty sure this is it

I completely agree with you on this but whatever

I don't remember seeing anyone say WWW was unrealistic

Ninjago has had more than enough waves with vibrant colorpalets (like last wave) so this is a nice change of pace

The D2C is actually coming out in september

I thought the question was referring to the little blue ''balls'' on top of the wands on the boxart, not the powerblast pieces

Good news

He doesn't actually appear in the films, the only appearance he ever made was on a promotional picture of Ron for Goblet of Fire

I just looked at the Burrow for another while and I started thinking the inclusion of a brown owl just doesn't make any sense. So I did some digging: - The gray owl (originally created for Errol) first appeared in 2010 and last in 2011 - The brown owl first appeared in 2010 and last in 2013 This basically means the brown owl has returned to production after a 7 year hiatus. But as the owl that was specifically made for Errol hasn't been reused I highly doubt the designers included this brown owl as Errol as they could've just returned his old version to production. But if this owl isn't Errol and Hedwig is already included it's inclusion wouldn't make any sense based on the movies, most of you will now probably now where I'm heading with this. What I also noticed is the positioning of the owl in questino, we see it in the following 4 places: 1. On the roof 2. On the ground 3. On Ron's hand 4. In Ron's room The first 2 placements are fairly easy to ignore but the last 2 wouldn't make any sense if this was just a random owl. This means there are only 2 possible answers to the mystery of the Burrow's brown owl: 1. I have completely lost my mind because of the quarantine 2. This owl is supposed to be Pigwidgeon (even though the exact coloring and especially the size isn't right) I'm going with option 2 and even if some of you guys disagree it's still going to be in my lego-headcanon Case closed

If you zoom in you'll notice only Grawp's face is printed

I like it when it's executed really well like in the Ultimate Batmobile from TLBM. But this is a concept that, at least imo, is really easy to screw up and that's exactly what happened with the Batbase

I just realised I haven't written down my thoughts yet for some reason. So here are my thoughts on the next wave of sets: Room of Requirement - Even though it's only a small set I'm very impressed with it. The figures are great, definetely didn't expect to see the Deatheater puppet. Day 1 purchase for me! Forbidden Forest - I was a little worried about Grawp but wow he looks so good! There are a few flaws with him but I don't think they could've done it any better. The figures are great and even though the tree isn't that good it's still fun to get. Another day 1 purchase for me! Privet Drive - I wasn't planning on getting this set but I must say I'm very impressed with the end result. The house itself looks fantastic but the interior, while good, looks kinda weird to me. Considering I already have a Ford Anglia, the exact same Ron and Harry and the CMF Dobby I won't pick up this set for RRP. Maybe I'll get it with a good discount but I'll most likely just Bricklink the Dursleys (who look great btw!). Astronomy Tower - I was extremely excited for this set and the end result is really good. I really LOVE the buiding itself and the interiors, while simplistic, look good enough (especially considering the interiors in the HP Reboot have always been kind a meh). The figures on the other hand are a mixed bag, I get the theming of the set but I personally would've preferred normal students. The figures we do get look great for the most part: Hermione/Harry/Luna/Draco/Neville all look fantastic, Slughorn is good enough but Ron and Lavender leave a lot to be desired. I'm looking forward to getting this set, most likely a day 1 purchase but I still have to decide between getting this or the Burrow first. Hedwig - I think the basic concept is really cool and I like how you make the wings move. The final result however is kinda disappointing but I wasn't planning on getting this set anyway. It's a cool concept but a meh execution, if the price isn't that high I might buy the Harry variant off Bricklink. The Burrow - I'm really happy with this set, it blows the original out of the water in almost every single way! I love the way it's build, how it actually looks like it could fall apart any minute and all the little eastereggs and references hidden throughout. I think Greyback, Tonks, Arthur, Tonks, Harry and Ron all look really good, Ginny looks alright but I would've preferred the bathrobe variant she actually wore in this scene. I personally disagree with all the complaints about Molly's hair, it may not be the best option but it looks fine. What does annoy me is the unprinted dresspieces of Mrs Weasley and Bellatrix, it makes them look really weird. Designwise this is definetely one of the best sets of the reboot so I'm looking forward to buying it, it may be a day 1 purchase for me but like I said earlier I still need to decide wether I get this or the Astronomy Tower first. Overall a very solid wave!

Pretty sure it hasn't been mentioned yet but Promobricks has blueprints with measurements etc for all sets except for Privet Drive

That's another thing I really love about the S13 sets: barely any vehicles!
