The ministry set is sounding relay good! The locket must be a separate piece as to be able to play out the scene and I would be extremely happy if it was a gold Olympic medal with a green or silver S printed on it I’m also happy with a gold wizard statue fountain as it’s more iconic to the location and will add more colour to the display than the grey MIM stone The only other thing I could wish for from this set is a cat patronus recolour and a couple of decoy detonators!

Nice idea Mine are: Hagrid’s Hut Clock Tower Hogsmeade Village Chamber of Secrets Astronomy Tower Hospital Wing Diagon Alley Hogwarts Castle D2C Divination book Rise of Voldemort

For anyone not aware: the brown printed owl (same one with the book with Lucius Malfoy) is available on bricks & pieces for a bargain price ~£0.50!

This is really good! You captured the look of the dragon very well me made it look easy! I have tried to make a Horntail like this in physical bricks and it didn’t end up looking half as good as this! Well done!

Maybe the original film costume designer for Vernon took inspiration from the muppet character

Ah yes I forgot the trunk! It’s tricky factoring in where the budget for moulds like that come from given it’s versatile enough to be used in city, Minecraft etc in the future Like the new 4x4 tops of the bottles in the icons set bing subsequently used for the engine turbines for a Starwars starfighter, and the new lantern and candles introduced in 2018 appearing everywhere since… it’s hard to account it to one theme

Any speculations on what new moulds for HP we will get this year? So far we have Pomfrey’s perfectly executed headdress. Also we are expecting a Thestral foal as a new mould in the cheapest set this year. LEGO is at the stage now where they are reaping the reward of all the mould investment so far (wands, new hagrid, new hat/hair for reoccurring teachers, snitch, sorting hat, sward, new Buckbeak and Thestral etc), so we can expect more sets without new moulds (for example the two moments books & trunk this year) and also the mould budget they do have could go into more obscure/ single use examples because they already have so much of the essentials covered… Unless Ginny is a placeholder for Professor Vector I’m not expecting a new mould in the Sirius Black Rescue Hogwarts module. However I am expecting a new mould for the werewolf head in the SS! Any other ideas on what to expect from what we know?

Thanks for the help, I think part of my problem was using mobile browser, it seems to be working with the new system on a desktop :)

Anyone else able to make B&P order from the U.K. right now? it’s seems like the service can been withdrawn for me…

it’s not in the list at all :( France, Denmark and Germany are missing too… and PaB doesn’t have the range, no figure toros or animals at all apart from the classic shark etc :(

I just had a look at B&P after a long break and The U.K. is not on the list of countries! Is this a glitch?

Whomping willow in the SS set for me confirms the warwolf is I included, why else would it be there given how physically far apart they are? Lupin transforms in the Hogwarts grounds under the willow, not in the SS in the film, so they probably have it as a side build to make the figure inclusion make sense. Perhaps the tree is a play feature similar to the rock in the PoTC set ‘Isla de Muerta’ : it spins around to turn one figure into another

For that high price I hope they add in as many new figures/ variants as they can. Another Hogsmeade building would be nice too, perhaps with a Hagrid, Draco etc If it happens that we get the werewolf in the SS it will confirm for me that LEGO has made the conscious decision to give us a selection of some of our CMF ‘wishes’ in sets this year and last (polyjuice trio, Pomfrey, Sinistra, pixies etc as existing examples) to make up for no series 3 this year I can believe that the figure lineup for some of these sets comes from prototypes, with existing figures standing in for yet unmade new ones. Umbridge is eye catching (pink) and we have one version of her already, same goes for dementors, so I expect the ‘Lucius’ is a stand in for Yaxley. I expect also that it’s not actually Arthur in the set but could be someone else, and the last mystery figure might turn out to be be Pius Thicknesse 🤞

I still suspect the MoM set is actually DH, that would explain Umbridge… I predict the ‘Lucious’ figure is actually Yaxley, and the mistake is because they reuse the same face print again :/ Also where is the supposed Tonks going to be in all of this? D2C? Advent Calendar? I guess the purple hair is a red herring…

Horntail remake, I called it!! Looks like the community was right about a surprise film 5 set too! Very welcome!

Ok thanks for the answer guys Dunkandeggbricks YouTube channel has uploaded a review of the Hospital set, please check out his other videos his MOC Modular Hogwarts which he has been designing and building bit buy bit is really excellently designed and planned out

Is it safe to upload reviews of the Hospital and new book sets on YouTube already? Even if they were purchased at retail? Asking for a friend

Thank you both so much, I appreciate those comments ;)

I made a Hogsmeade AC MOC on my IG i anyone would like to see: Some of the builds included: Hogs Head pub signpost mini Knight Bus mini Clock Tower red Butterbeer street cart highland cow lamppost, snowman, outdoor pub table, tea set, cake stall, hat stall etc If they do a Hogsmeade AC I hope one of the exclusive characters is Aberforth, then that’s another DH character ticked off the list

While I expect the 2022 range to the year 3+4 focused, the cheapest set I strongly believe is a forest set with a ‘horse’ of sorts; Detention encounter with Voldemort from PS with a new unicorn. The other alternative is a remake of Buckbeak lesson with Draco but the figures would be mostly repeats of what we have had before

I think the list you are talking about mine and thanks for remembering it 😊 It’s here for anyone interested: https://flic.kr/p/2konoQL It is very out of date now, I should update it for a 12 figure line up and account for all the figures we got in sets last year. I hope in series 3 they drop the mandatory Lina, Neville and Dumbledore and focus on new characters, that’s what I will do when I get round to making a new list I personally don’t mind if series 3 had been pushed back to next year as some of series 2 are still on the shelf here around the U.K., and more importantly we have a huge line of sets coming which no doubt will include some of the figures on my list (I’m expecting Lake task variants, Karkaroff etc). Last year we got a pixie mould, the polyjuice trio, Professor Sinistra, Neville with a remembrall, Colin Creevy, Year 1/2 Flitwick, and this year we have coming Madam Pomfrey and Percy Weasley in a book which are all figures which have appeared somewhere on our various CMF wishlists So I think it’s quite possible that we are getting more of our wanted CMF figures in sets this year instead of a bag series

About 76401 : 345 pieces ($49.99)… The price to part ratio and size of this set is very similar to some Jurassic world sets, suggesting a large moulded animal, does anyone else think a remake of the Horntail set is on the cards?

76400 (20€) has 121 pcs. Same part count to the letter as the Expecto Patronum set, so could also be 3/4 figs and an animal mould with some scenery again. Buckbeak lesson or a detention Unicorn set in the forest with voldermort 76401 (50€) has 345 pcs. Low part count again, less than half the parts as the Hogsmeade set so might not be a big building like the SS… could be Minifigure heavy set (2nd task etc) 76403 (100€) has 990 pcs. Well balanced part count, Probably a big castle section 76406 (50€) has 671 pcs. High part count, lots of little tiles/studs for details? (Nifler or Buckbeak etc) 76402 (80€) has 654 pcs, 76407 (90€) has 777 pcs. Either of these could have Big parts like boat hulls or new moulds like werewolf or Kreacher head etc. That being said Bowser’s ship has over 1000 parts and big boat sections too for £90… so it’s anyone’s guess :/ I’m a till very excited, can’t wait for the set names and cryptic IG leaks 😁 Btw does the info we have therefore confirm that we won’t get a store exclusive Minifigure accessory pack this year?

Anyone have an idea when the Chess set will be back in stock at Lego shop@home? It’s sold out everywhere online except Amazon where it’s got a mark up :/ I have missed out on it so far

Absolutely love the hospital set and that Pomfrey figure is a CMF wish come true! The way the gears and clock move by turning one of the towers at the top, the new design of the beds, the details like the screens, the new owl & new flat chest included, two frog cards, and that bottle design!! Absolutely marvellous :D I’m so pleased they used the baby head for the skeleton topper for the bottle, such fantastic parts usage, and just like @minifigs.psd designed in their great concept (Instagram)
