A St. Mungos version would delightful. But yeah, I'm a bit biased since he is one of my favourite characters. Though, he could have a new cornish pixie mould. Does lego use the rose colour anymore btw? It was used in the older Lockhart figure and it looks gorgeous imo.

Haha it looks like I guessed the betrayer right! :D Anyhow, I really hope that Lockhart is in the CMF because of the price tag on the Diagon Alley... He could have his blue robes in that set and his rose coloured robes in the CMF.

I think that his white thick coat is the most interesting one. It would probably come with the ship but I would like it to be in the CMF since I would probably not purchase the ship. The yule ball variant could be in the calendar. Although, I think we will get two variants of him at most.

I think the Dobby is okay. He's inclusion is disappointing (because of no Fred&George) but the figure itself is fine. There is no reason for a new torso print and the faceprint might be better when we get a proper look at the figure. And if the figure disappoints, it can easily be replaced by the one from the CMF. Bellatrix, however, is essentially worse than her 10-year-old variant and doesn't even use the new faceprint coming in the CMF. But yeah, we should remain optimistic and certainly afford to get hyped for the remaining seven CMF entries because the nine we've seen so far look fantastic.

I certainly hope that the worst is :D The CMF figures especially were great and I'm optimistic that the remaining seven will be as impressive. I'm a bit nervous though about the other minifigures included in the sets because of the disappointing Bellatrix. I'm hoping for new faceprints.

I originally had James and Lily on my CMF predictions (as ghosts) but it seems highly unlikely now with Myrtle being included. But it's not impossible because there are seven spots left and only Ron and Hermione are definitely among them (imo).

Their version of Vernon is fantastic! I really hope that Lego will use the same hairpiece and do a new faceprint for him.

Sorry, I interpreted the 'discussion' as an independent title rather than meaning 'discussion about rumours'. I just thought it would've been interesting to hear some of your wishlists and reasons behind them. But yeah, it might be for the best not to wishlist etc. since rumours tend start when people read something without knowing the context.

This is off the current topic but I would be interested to hear your wishlists regarding minifigures and potential sets. My most anticipated set is probably a remake of the Shrieking Shack. I actually missed the set back in 2004 as a kid and it has bothered me ever since :D The Shack is one of my favourite buildings in the series and I love how it was done in the film (which is cinematically easily the best of the bunch imo). It would be fun if they'd manage to add a swaying motion to the building. Minifigures that are at the top of my wishlist are werewolf Lupin, Gilderoy Lockhart (an asylum variant would be hilarious), Myrtle and Dolohov (who is my favourite death eater from the books). What are your most anticipated sets or minifigures, and why?

It would be quite hilarious if he is making it all up :D He has managed to get us excited and speculating. Anyhow, his hints regarding the Burrow and Diagon Alley seemed to be quite reliable. They could be just lucky guesses though. The Rita Skeeter hint is pretty specific, therefore, her inclusion or absence will expose this guy or prove his legitimacy.

It just hit me that Lockhart actually betrayed Harry and Ron in CoS. He is a fan favourite so it could be possible...

The hint is very vague but I think it has to mean someone who is known for betraying, therefore, Wormtail (his betrayal was the reason for Harry's parents' demise and so on...) and Mundungus (the only notable thing he did was betraying) are the main suspects. Percy was always a self-indulgent douchebag and only a minor character in the films so I don't believe that he is in question. Personally, I'm hoping for either Narcissa or Karkaroff who are both possible because the most notable thing they did, was to betray Voldemort.

Didn't think about that lol. That would be quite wild :D I'm still waiting for a werewolf Lupin, which we should get first. I'm desperately hoping for a Shrieking Shack remake.

I agree, the set is pretty cheap and still in stores. It would be a waste unless he had a new hair mould and a good accessory.

Interesting, I think it has to refer to either Wormtail or Mundungus. Don't really like the idea of either of them being in the CMF. The Rise of Voldemort Wormtail was nearly perfect imo (apart from the hair) and there aren't any interesting variants of him. Personally I'm not interested in Mundungus because he'd be a rather plain minifigure imo. Though it's always good to get new characters. EDIT: Just realized that there are more betrayals. Narcissa Malfoy betrays Voldemort and would be a good addition. Xenophilius Lovegood betrays the trio because he wants to save Luna. I still think that it has to be Wormtail or Mundungus though.

Yes, she says that when she interviews Harry in GoF. Please let her be in the CMF, it would be delightful.

If Tonks end up being in the Burrow, what do you think her hair will be like? Is there an existing piece that would match with her hair in that scene/film because it's quite unique. There could be a new mould introduced in the CMF but I think her potential CMF variant would then have to be from OotP, in which she has longer hair without bangs. I really hope that Tonks and Lupin end up being in the likely Burrow set. And hopefully, they'll be better than the Bellatrix figure we are getting.

Good point. They would still have to include the pearl coloured inner egg though. I'm kinda hoping for a toilet accessory of some sorts but really I'm just happy that we are getting a Myrtle. Was on my wishlist and wouldn't have thought that they'd make her.

An opened version of the golden egg would be neat.

Mere speculation I think. Being the climax of OotP, it would be a logical choice for one of the sets in this wave. But sadly it looks like that we will have to wait for it a bit more.

I also agree that it is more likely that the 100€ set is the Burrow. I'd also like for it to be wedding themed but I doubt it will be. Because of the Azkaban variant of Bellatrix in the CMF, I'd say that it is very likely that we will get her "normal" variant in Autumn. That means that we are getting HBP Burrow OR a MoM set. This is very speculative though.

So if we end up getting only the 100€ set and the D2C in Autumn, do you still think that the 100€ set will be the Ministry of Magic? If yes, what would the larger MoM set include? In addition to the Atrium and the Hall of prophecies, could we get the Veil even though it is tied to Sirius's death? It would also be delightful to get builds of some sorts to represent Voldemort's and Dumbeldoor's spells during their duel. In a 100€ set we would probably get up to 10 minifigures, so it would be interesting to see which ones would be in the set and which ones in the CMF series like Kingsley. I personally think that Harry, Dundlebore, Tonks, Ginny, Voldemort, Bellatrix, and two masked death eaters would be included. I feel like Lucius and Sirius (both integral to the battle) could be in the CMF series, thus avoiding a death scene and possibly providing a new mold for Lucius's cane. Also getting two masked death eaters would be great for army building (even though personally I'm not interested in it). What do you guys think?

I agree that it's unlikely that there would be 20 minifigures. I think the lineup could be something like this: Harry (face covered in ash), Ron, Hermione, Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Fred&George(both from HBP), Lockhart (blue robes), Lucius, Draco, Fenrir, Ollivander, two Gringotts goblins (with Griphook's hair+ear piece), Tom (from leaky cauldron).

Nice to hear that someone enjoyed my speculation! :D I think the next two sets can essentially be anything after the curveball, being The CoS Privet Drive, that Lego threw at us. Anyhow, because we are getting an Azkaban version of Bellatrix, I would say that one of the two sets will include her in her normal garments. The two options for her inclusion would be The Ministry of Magic from OotP or The Burrow from HBP. The Ministery would work better as a smaller set whereas the Burrow would have to be the rumored 100€. I think that we are bound to get the Ministry because of the importance of the scene and the fact that it hasn't been made before. And if Bellatrix is in that set (other minifigures could be Harry, Dumbeldoor, and Voldy depending on the size of the set), she wouldn't probably be in the second set. Therefore the second set would either be the Burrow from another film than HBP (probably DH1) or a completely different set altogether. If it were a different set, I would put my money on The Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. It hasn't been made before and it would probably include Fred, George, and Ginny (they could also chunk in someone like Fenrir Greyback). The set would also complement the possible D2C Diagon Alley (if there would be one and it wouldn't include the WWW of course). Also, if the Autumn sets do not include some of Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Fred, and George, I'm quite positive that the omitted ones will be in the CMF series. If there will be a D2C, I'm pretty sure that it will be the Diagon Alley. It is one of the most iconic places from the films (or books) and the 10217 from 2011(?) has almost a legendary status nowadays. The set could be based on CoS because of the various throwbacks to the film (Privet Dr., Tom Riddle, CMF Myrtle, Sprout, and Dundelbore). The new(?) hair and ear mold of Griphook could also be used for other Gringott's goblins. The micro-build Diagon Alley from 2018 could also be an indication of the possible buildings. We could get Gringott's, Ollivander's, Flourish&Blotts and Quality Quidditch Supplies. The set could include Harry, Ron, Hermione, Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Ollivander, Lockhart (in his blue robes), Lucius, Draco, and a few goblins perhaps. This would be rather fitting if the 100€ set coming in Autumn is the WWW. PS: While writing this, I completely forget about Borgin&Burges, which plays a major role in HBP and is also featured in CoS. Another possibility for the sets would be that the smaller set from Autumn is B&B while the larger is a Ministry set. B&B could also be included in the possible D2C Diagon Alley. Anyhow, I think that there is also a possibility for us to see Fenrir this year. And because we don't know the price of the smaller set, it can always be a 20€ Inferi cave :D. My money and hopes are on The Ministry, the WWW and a CoS based Diagon Alley D2C. Apologies for the rather long and rambly post. EDIT: Of course some new and reliable rumours popped up just as I was blindly writing this lol :D

Hello there! I finally decided to create a profile here, therefore, I shall post my thoughts and predictions regarding the last seven spots of the CMF series. I think there are two possible options for Ron and Hermione: Either both of them are from CoS (Cat-Hermione and Crabbe-Ron) or Ron is from HBP (Quidditch). I can't see(nor hope for) them making a HBP Hermione. If both of them are from CoS, it would probably mean that there will be also a Goyle-Harry and possibly one of the spots reserved for another quidditch player (possibly Ginny). Also, there is a significant lack of Weasleys in this wave, so I'd guess that the larger set in Autumn will be the Burrow. That would make the smaller set presumably the Ministery of Magic battle. The set would probably include Harry, Dumbledore, Voldy and Bellatrix (because of her Azkaban variant in the CMF). Because of the presumable smaller size (and death scene), several characters would be omitted. The most notable omissions would be Sirius, Lucius and Tonks. That leaves the last (or last two) spot open. There are various options: Pomfrey (because the Hospital wing has been made already), Lockhart, Rita Skeeter, Kreacher (new mold for the head + the locket) and werewolf Lupin. Here are my two guesses! Hermione - Cat with a cauldron, CoS Hermione - Cat with a cauldron, CoS Ron - Crabbe, CoS Ron - Quidditch clothes & broom, HBP Harry - Goyle, CoS Poppy Pomfrey - Skele-gro, CoS Ginny - Quidditch clothes & broom, HBP Gilderoy Lockhart - Pixie, CoS Sirius Black - Padfoot, OotP Sirius Black - Padfoot, OotP Tonks - multiple hairdos, OotP Tonks - multiple hairdos, OotP Lucius Malfoy - Death Eater robes Lucius Malfoy - Death Eater robes, OotP Out of the two, I would prefer the one on the right. Of course, this is all just speculation that I am trying to base on logic (which might be completely useless). Anyway, it is fun to speculate! Please tell me your thoughts.
