As for the upcoming summer wave, I do like those new sets. I'm not as easily disappointed it seems. :P While I already have a HE, the new one has Hogsmeade Station which I don't have yet plus this version has two carriages even though combined they might only be a little bit bigger than the previous playset's carriage. Also really happy to finally get Lee Jordan even if he isn't completely accurate. I love the buildable Dobby and his UCS sock. ;) Only his feet are a little weird imo. I like the patronus set as well as the BoH set and the WWW set even though I already have the D2C Diagon Alley. To me it's different enough to warrant a buy. I'm contemplating buying two patronus sets and two BoH sets since both are 2-in-1, but I'm not sure yet. Does that combined layout of the 2021-2023 Hogwarts sets require one or two BoH sets? The Quidditch trunk is a nice set, but I would rather have gotten Quidditch battlepacks. I do like that new cape attachment and finally a Ravenclaw cape, but I don't like the third colour for the pants, but that's easily swapped. But since it's a trunk set, the benefit is that we do get a bunch more heads and pieces of hair to make our own Quidditch players, instead of needing to get an army of Cedrics, Chos, Harries, and Dracos. I actually used the left over heads and pieces of hair of the previous trunk to change my army of Cedrics into 7 different Hufflepuff Quidditch players. So this will be a good way to do the same for my Cho army. But I don't really see myself buying 7 of the Quidditch trunk sets. I'll just Bricklink 7 more Ravenclaw capes and 11 pairs of white pants. And speaking of Quidditch, I do like these new BrickHeadz sets as it gives a new variation for Harry in addition to his two previous BrickHeadz renditions.

As LEGO seems to work in cycles of 3 years; 2018-2020 & 2021-2023; we might get a different castle system again next year. Especially since it seems this iteration is complete. As for the common rooms, LEGO has given us those banner sets that are meant to be the common rooms. So I don't know if it's likely we'll see common rooms in regular playsets, but since we are probably getting a new castle system next year it is hypothetically possible that that new system might have common rooms. As for your DA series comment, I think that's exactly what LEGO wants to do.

I find the feet a little weird, but the rest looks good. Especially UCS Dobby's Sock for the meme value.

I have all 2018+ sets displayed currently. So far it all fits. Only thing I'm missing are the banner sets, but those I can hang technically. I'll have to get more display space though once the summer sets come around.

Everyone writes in English though on this forum. I could start writing in Dutch or Polish, but that wouldn't be appreciated either.

I wish I could understand Spanish, because I have no idea what you're saying.

So what are the sets again we are expecting this summer? First page doesn't seem to be fully updated.

Additionally, Scabbers was the rat name of Peter Pettigrew.

It's on the German website. It was posted on 4 April. And I couldn't find anything about it on instagram.

#TeamUCSDobby'sSock :P

They already do that for the Marvel modulars, the regular Modulars, Ninjago City modulars, and indeed Hogwarts. So I don't think it would be unusual if LEGO just made another shop for DA as a standalone set that at the same time could be considered an expansion of DA like the aforementioned modulars. Additionally there was quite a gap between Ninjago City & Ninjago City Docks on one hand and Ninjago City Gardens on the other. Docks and City both had retired for a while before Gardens was released. So another DA shop releasing while DA itself is still available is better.

Hogsmeade Station? :o Also I do have the UCS Hogwarts Express. That might've been me. I talked about wanting/hoping for a Hogsmeade station when the UCS one wasn't revealed yet.

DK or Ameet? EDIT: Nevermind, I've found a news post about it and it's neither.

I gave my books to the kids of my cousins.

Reminds me of that time I bought 7 books for Cedric. :P

I love this new polybag! Also gonna go to bricklink to get a cape. ;)

I mean it should be fine if the character does more than just die at that location (like Burbage and Cedric). So Voldemort should be fine as he does a lot more than just dying there.

Malfoy Manor also features that scene where Nagini eats Burbage and technically also where Bellatrix kills Dobby. But you are right that the graveyard scene is one of the darkest moments in the franchise and they made a set for that as well. So as long as they don't include a Burbage minifigure like they did with Cedric then I don't see any issues. Might even include the fence where Snape goes through at the gate of the manor.

LEGO just teased Rivendell on Instagram. That confirms at least one of the survey leaks even though it was rumoured before that. I also agree that it's getting too expensive with sooooo many big sets. It makes it hard to be completionist. Even if HP (2018-current) is the only theme I do that for (not counting various subthemes like Modulars and The Mandalorian).

Isn't Mercari just another kind of eBay? EDIT: Yes, yes, it is.

That sounds amazing! After reading the messages after it I realised that this was another wishlist. I mistakingly thought the leaks dropped. Woops.

I mean the amount of pieces as well as the price is similar to the Parisian Restaurant, caveat being that that set was released 9 years(!) ago. But we have seen that LEGO can make sets with a lot of pieces like the 2021 modular Police Station which has 2923 pieces, yet only costs €199,99. So I wouldn't count Gringotts out just yet. Granted that this is a licensed set, but I've always thought that HP sets were fairly priced in comparison to other licensed sets and even unlicensed sets.

JB Spielwaren is a German toy store.

I guess it's time for another rewatch. ;) But it's a shame that they put them in a set instead of a battlepack or minifigure pack. Plus that they are different from the previous ones. But at least we got one for all 4 now.

Pretty sure those are not quidditch uniforms, just jumpers (sweatshirts). None of those banner pages at LEGO.com mention quidditch at all. Nevermind, it seems that's what the quidditch uniforms looked like in 2010.
