It’s a good lineup of sets coming, the new crest and system sets are very refreshing aside from the repeat of the Expecto Patronum scene. B&B shop is one of my favourites, I’m very happy it has Narcissa, so I don’t need the Mannor set after all. im hoping we get the book shop with Lockhart next season. At last we have a vanishing cabinet, although it’s too small to put a Minifigure in which is a fail IMHO. Nice to see Hand of glory makes an appearance using the ‘Thing’ mould from Wednesday in sand green. I’m Also very excited for the flying phoenix mould used in live colour in the COS set, that was one of the last key moulds for a CMF series 3 I had drafted.

Last couple of orders I’ve made (U.K.) they arrived without the printed part list/letter/receipt, is this now standard practice? Also I got a couple of the heads turn up in a separate envelope, and my two plain white torsos were missing :/

Perhaps the Dumbledore could be a monochrome version for the ‘50 years ago’ scene, with Tom, young hagrid. The scene with Aragog in a box could be one of the rooms of the castle section

reminds me of the Hobbit video game DLC Baby Smaug character https://www.vg247.com/lego-the-hobbit-dlc-packs-released-today

It’s been asked before but it’s almost February, will We have a 2026 thread?

I would think the kitchen is unlikely because the films are what’s licensed for the LEGO theme, not the books and we never see the kitchen in the movies, I don’t think it’s even mentioned…

Off topic but is anyone else annoyed that after all this time they have not re-used either of those parts multi-packs from 2 years ago? the wands pack from the Olivandar’s shop set (would have been perfect to include with the Malfoy Manor House in black) the spell/blast effect pack which was available in the battle for Hogwarts castle set. to be honest I wouldn’t say no to them appearing in an advent calendar in a new colour (black wands, yellow blast effects etc), they did it for Marvel once.

Brick built Spider with roller skates for the Boggart scene is an excellent inclusion!

While we are waiting we could do another round of speculate/wishlist. I’ll set up a format, come up with a realistic set for each category: Small modular classroom £17: large modular classroom £30: Forbidden Forest set £17-30: brick built magical creature £30-60: Wizarding world location: £60-100: Unexpected experimental sub-line set:

What’s people’s thoughts on the ‘potions cauldron’ set, I assume is going to be similar to many of the ‘dolls’ playsets from Disney etc, boxes which opens with rooms inside. I hope it has Slughorn and a year 5 Shamus for some variety. what else could they do after that and the two trunks? plant-pot- Herbology lesson? crystal ball- Divination?

I can imagine an entire gingerbread CMF: Gingerbread Santa, Gingerbread pirate, Gingerbread Policeman, Gingerbread witch, Gingerbread bear costume, Gingerbread baker/chef, Gingerbread ninja, Gingerbread dinosaur costume, Gingerbread snowman, Gingerbread Knight, Gingerbread mum & baby, Gingerbread Astronaut, Gingerbread dog owner with gingerbread dog! Gingerbread werewolf! etc all on exclusive gingerbread printed stands 😄

Thinking about the Starwars Gingerbread AT-AT, what festive sets could they do for Harry Potter? Pumpkin for Halloween? Gingerbread Great Hall?

It’s a stretch but I think i remember some people have speculated that the ghost briefly seen sat in the Transfiguration classroom in the first movie when the trio rush to tell McGonagall about the stone being stolen could be the professor.

I could see that and it might work, the two towers are next to each other in the PoA version of the castle, and could share a rocky base with dungeons. Only thing is the figures and Buckbeak are an overlap with the Sirius Reacue set from a little while ago. Maybe they could sell it by combining it with the Care for Magical creatures lesson with some trees as a side build and a new Hagrid. They could do that with a Clock Tower set also.

I had the thought the set would be a diorama of all the challenges like 77015 Lost Temple, complete with quotes and mechanisms at each stage. But I’m not sure now after the Main Tower set.
