Shrieking Shack and Second Task please ?

As long as we get all four champions I will be happy ??

They wouldn’t need to include Cho either as she came in the CMF. So they could either do the four champions and a merperson, or up the figure count to include Ron and Hermione too. But seven figures seems a bit unlikely for what should be a fairly small set.

This might be a little off topic, but when would we expect to hear whether there will be more Wizarding World LEGO sets next year?

Surely that’s just to promote the exclusive Upside Down set? LEGO have already done four exclusive minifigures in the Bricktober pack!

I think new moulds would do both of these justice - it’s a must for the troll (in my opinion), and for Fluffy, a new head mould would definitely be needed at the very least.

Cheers, I loved all the 2010 Hogwarts sets (soooo much better than the previous ones) so keen to integrate into the current sets. All looks great!!! Thank you :)

That would be great thanks! I’d like to integrate the two but I’m a sucker for continuity so wanted to see how other people managed to merge them together!

Has anyone tried merging the 2010/2011 Hogwarts sets with the current sets?

Do you get these in store too?

Are the Hidden Side sets on sale yet?

I think a lot of that probably has to do with the CMF as well. For example, not many people would be bothered about a Susan Bones in the CMF so would make more sense to put her in a set and include a more iconic figure in the CMF to make the CMF sell better. I have more faith in this series too. LEGO seem to be a bit more ballsy with what they’re doing, which has given us some really lovely sets (Yule Ball and Beauxbatons Carriage).

Might as well join the list craze... 1) Clocktower - I never thought we would get so many Yule Ball figures, let alone a set dedicated to it! It has a beautiful exterior that is a great addition to the Hogwarts display we have so far, and I love the Christmassy features. 2) Beauxbatons Carriage - our first new set without a Harry figure! I’m glad we are getting a new set that has never been done before, and the inclusion of Olympe, Fleur and Gabrielle makes up for LEGO sort of ignoring their existence in the original GOF sets. So glad they’ve done this instead of a Durmstrang Ship! 3) Hagrid’s Hut - maybe a little overpriced, but I love the figures and the new Buckbeak mould. I actually like that the back is open as it makes for playability and every other building has an open back anyway. 4) Expecto Patronum - a small, compact but beautiful set. The only reason this one isn’t higher up is that I love the larger builds. The new Sirius is really exciting as he definitely called for an update. 5) First Task - I would have preferred this to be a more expensive set with perhaps some stands included as it looks a bit weird being just a tent and a dragon. Nevertheless, the figures are a key reason to buy, and I don’t mind the dragon TOO much. 6) Rise of Voldemort - not a massive fan of the ground build, but as most people have pointed out, adding to the Hidden Side graveyard would make it more padded out as a display. Interested to see the play feature, but a bit disappointed with the Wormtail figure as he shouldn’t be ginger lol. 7) Knight Bus - it’s the best version we’ve had so far, but I don’t think it offers all that much on the previous iterations. I would have preferred a Shrieking Shack (but Stans hat is great). A fantastic wave all in all, I’ll be sure to be picking up all these sets! Anyone know when/why LEGO stopped doing alternative builds in the instruction manuals?

Thank all you guys for your suggestions!! I think the colour of the wrestler might best match the eyebrows. I don’t really know why LEGO insist on making him ginger tbh I’m not a fan of changing official LEGO figures if I can help it, but might pick up that brown Moody piece for Sirius!

Anybody got any wise ideas for replacing Wormtails hair? He looks far too much like a Weasley for my liking! I can’t help but feel he’s one of those characters that just won’t translate well into Lego...

Are there rumours of a Wizarding World D2C this year, or is that just wishful thinking?

I agree. I think the HP sets are fantastic for nostalgia, but I like the creativity behind the buildable magic beasts from FB that you don’t get as much in other themes.

The thing that would make FB sets stand out to kids, compared to other sets, are the buildable beasts. The beasts seem to be the focal points of the sets released so far - especially the suitcase. I don’t see the Graveyard as a particularly strong CoG setting, especially if it didn’t come with a builable Zouwu. I could be wrong though. I thought Circus Arcanus with a buildable Zouwu - or even snake Nagini - would be an interesting set as kids would like the circus theme, but then it’s not particularly important to the plot. I agree. The HP line is strong as it is - I don’t see that changing anytime soon. It’s the FB sets that I worry about being discontinued. I wonder whether LEGO’s decision to make all the Hogwarts students more childlike was based of differentiating them from the adult wizards in FB?

Yeah I would like to know this too ?

What’s a limited set?

Does anyone find it strange that the five June sets and the advent calendar (September) have all been officially revealed, but we still haven’t seen or heard of any leaks regarding two further sets in August? I’d love for more Potter but am very sceptical as to whether we will get another two this year...

All stuff about the advent calendar is exciting!! Do you think it could be like the likes of Star Wars and Friends where one is released year on year?

Sweet, thanks. There’s hunches that’s the €50 is Graveyard and the €20 is unknown?

Are we expecting another two sets this year?

Really impressed with what we’ve seen today - the Christmas theme of the Clocktower makes me really excited for what to expect with the advent calendar! Have I got it right that these five are the June wave and we are expected another two reveals for August? One of which is presumed to be the graveyard?
