What do you guys think? Would it work to add an additional level in the castle? I can't stand the Gryffindor common room or ravenclaw common room not being a pullout room. The main tower needs fluffy above devil's snare. I have to rebuild the terrible great hall from scratch anyways and it has to be taller, so it stays in proportion, when i make it wider for a satisfying interior.... one question would be how to fill the roofs with something nicht that does not Requiem a pullout room.

I completely forgot about that... ^^' I'd like to see Grawp once more but with prints instead of stickers.

I could see a raven in a set with buckbeak and some pumpkins. We didn't have a buckbeak in this castles Iteration yet. Throw in Malfoy and it is a neat remake of the first buckbeak set perfectly compatible with the Hut.

Wasn't Simpsons 2014/15?

What do you think about the chances of a pet shop? I loved it at the Universal Studios and it would appeal to kids. It could include Hermoine and Crookshanks.

I guess it will be in 3 years. In a year the official sets will likely be done. Replacing all stickers with custom prints, making my own pull out rooms to replace poorly done ones like the Hufflepuff common room and so on takes it's time... the great hall has to be completely redesigned.^^' but it should be really cool in the end :3 I have to say i enjoy mocing Hogwarts very much. It is really cool how relatively cheap and uncomplicated it is to build with tan bricks. It was a pain to get what i needed for my Simpsons mocs with so many uncommon colours and very little colours where all parts I need were made in the same colour... Not even speaking about the availability on bricklink. The only issue i have now is that i need certain new tiles in dark tan that did not appear in thag colour until now.

I will build a custom living room table with glass top and sides similar to what some people did with the UCS Milenium Falcon :)

My dream Lizenzen is and always will be the Simpsons. I'd love to get a school.

I could imagine the hospital wing being planned exactly like this in the beginning but then being slightly changed. If there was a 4.th large expansion, I am pretty sure it would have the Ravenclaw common room and house ghost... to me it looks like they put those in the hospital wing replacing Pomfrey so there are at least all of those in the final castle

As far as I can tell the astronomy tower is rectangular. if they just make the flying lesson tower higher with another roof and a sidebuilding for the viaduct entrance, the set shouldn´t need more parts than the main tower. I could see the viaduct itself be a little expansion set you have to buy seperately. The chamber of secrets has basically 3 relevant parts. The sliding entrance with the iconic door, the long corridor with snake heads and the statue with the basilisk coming out of the mouth. The corridor isn´t that relevant. I´d say, it should be easy to put the girls bathroom with a slide down to the underground section, the door and the statue in the entrance building and rockwork and still have space for an underground pullout Slytherin common room. They can save parts, if a portion of the entrance building is empty with a sticker in the backround showing the red writing on the wall. We didn´t have Mrs. Norris in this system until now. Add the Bloody Baron and it should be a very popular set that makes most fans happy and finish the castle okay-ish. I just hope we get another new teacher... It would suck for old collectors, if they remade Sinistra for the Astronomy tower, which would be the case, i guess. Lego wants new customers and for those she would be cool to get. I am sure we won´t get the clocktower. It makes no sense with the open-back-concept of the castle to give us another entrance that is placed in front of the open backside and has his open backside aimed towards the fassade the other sets give us. It would look bad from both sides. The whomping willow connected to the hut would make sence to me. Crookshanks ist the only relevant "character" missing from the first movies and would fit in. You could then play all the relevant sceenes from prisoner of Askaban in the new castle, too. It would also drive some AFOLs to expand their castle with Hogsmead.

I gues at this point we can hope for the viaduct and at least a gate between two small towers as the last big expansion - probably including Myrtles Bathroom and the chamber beneath as well as Slytherin common room with the bloody baron. Then there will probably be an exchangable classroom for Trelawney. I could see them giving us a womping willow (maybe with crookshanks?). The flying leason still needs a place to be put... I could imagine it being connected right to the viaduct entrance to surround the Whoming willow and the greenhouse. I guess, if we are really, really, really lucky we will see a last 100€-expansion. Maybe really just clocktower or astronomy tower with plates instead of rooms like the flying lesson, so Trelawneys room can be inserted.

Well... the Legoland Günzburg gets expanded with a Potter World until 2027. I guess we can tell for sure it at least won't be over after this wave.

I am quite confused abaut it's position. If we look at it will see the inside of the great hall behind it to no need to expand. The fassade there. Do you think it will be Expander even more? The connection on the other side is interesting. For my part I have Pomfrey and the superior Scelegrow from the last system, but it sucks for people who don't. The cabinet being a sticker is a shame. The Ravenclaw common room is probably the worst room in the new system... i like the fassade per se and love the grey lady. Otherwise I find it very dissapointing. All in all i think it is a solid foundation for a Labor intensive moc, if I get it on sale.

To be honest I really like the set with the cute little play function. If it did use printed elements and the Dwalin beard, it would he just awesome in my opinion.

This is true but also 100% avoidable, if Lego did not waste so many spots in their waves. Brickbuild creatures... especially the incredibly ugly Harry and Hagrid motorbike ... could have easily been produced two years later. If there were not several sets (advent calendar, duellieren Club, sorting ceremony) to replace the great hall Interieur, but little addition of new stuff, this would not be an issue.

I think we can't predict very much anymore. It made sense to me to include in each big expansion a house ghost, common room and a big creature. With the hospital wing this idea is (sadly) gone. I can't see why we would not get two ghosts in one set (probably without a new lesser known teacher in exchange... :/) in the end lego wants people to buy their products. It would be stupid not to release the bloody baron at some point. I think the most relevant scenes from the chamber of secrets are the bathroom where they brew the potion, the slytherin common room and the chamber. It should be possible to fit those into a set. I mean we got all the challenges from the first movie in the main tower.

The grey Lady looks promising. Now I want Crookshanks and the Bloody Baron and I am good minifigure-wise :) I am very interested to see how it all ends up. I could see the next (and last) big expansion being the viaduct and front view of the Quad. Then the new hospital wing can be put next to it on the right side to finish the front fassade. By now I severly doubt we will see a the astronomy tower and am sure we won't get the clock tower. I played around in stud.io a bit. The clock tower would be such a perfect Set for the System. It needs to be only a few studs wider and deeper than the last iteration and it would fit smaller pullout rooms rooms perfectly

Well... oh, boy... thinking about that... i hope the last "lesser known teacher in a big expansion" spot diesn't get wasted on a remake of the already perfect Sinistra. Making her classroom a roof area with a telescope sounds exactly like something Lego would do.

I like the fassade at least... it will make a solid foundation for a moc with a huge sale. i really wish they would have made the buildings deeper, so the classroomms on top of the cliffs can be pulled out, too.

didn´t purist mean only using original pieces not keeping minifigures 100% like in the sets? xD

Well, that's what bricklink is for... at least it exists unlike a proper recolour of the new cat for Crockshanks^^'

I think it is partly a matter of taste. The original building is in fact pretty high, which makes it look quite slim. In that regard lego did a good job with the proportions of the new one and the clock section above the door was ignored in the 2018 model. For the very steep price it would have been in my opinion absolutely fair to make the whole building a bit higher and the wider, so the proportional are still intact but they can have more space inside. The supermarket doors in brown at the entrance look just cheep. The spear tips looked so much better in the 2018 model than the 1x1 cone pieces now. The really terrible part is in my opinion the sky inside the roof. I wasn't able to recognise what it is supposed to be until someone said it in a review.

I agree. My main issue is that while some sets are really great (like potions class room) some just suck at least in part. I like the rock foundation of the new great hall - especially the troll -, but the hall itself is in every way inferior compared to the 2018 one. I´ll have to expand the rock foundation and rebuild the whole thing to make it acceptable.

I hate to be that guy, but they call it the most detailed not most complete or most accurate. We won't get everything that should be in there. At best it is a solid foundation to moc the perfect castle (with severe mocing required)

The great hall and main tower Connecticut in a way that gives you a pretty facade from one ancle and an open side for playability everywhere else. I assume we will get a pretty front view. Everything that goes towards the opposide direction will probably be skipped. It does not make sense to give us a pretty clock tower Front that stands next to the main towers open backside for example.
