Technically they already remade the dueling club but cancelled it late into production. It was part of the Great Hall prototype.

We didn't get Krum's beard so I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get rotten teeth for Karkaroff.

I never said they were or that they should be. I wasn't aware the common rooms were included as I wasn't able to read the article (I'm not very fluent in reading German) and most of what I read here only talked about them as classrooms. I really don't see why me saying LEGO could've themed the classrooms around schoolbooks instead of houses means I should be given a lecture about how LEGO is for kids though. I never said the sets shouldn't get made, I actually said the opposite and suggested a second wave.

I think LEGO made a mistake by giving us house themed books for classrooms. Ideally these house books would include the common rooms and a second wave could include classrooms and have the books themed around schoolbooks like advanced potion making.

I'm actually a bit excited to see the new TIE and X-Wing sets. I've been rebuilding my childhood Star Wars sets over the summer and while I had a lot of cool things like the 2007 MTT and 2002 Slave 1 I was a bit disappointed when I realized I didn't own an X-Wing or standard TIE so I have been in the market to buy them. I think streamlining and reducing the cost for X-Wings and TIEs is a good move. Over the years as the play scale versions have gotten more detailed and complex they've understandably increased in price making them more challenging for kids to obtain then they should be. It's also good for afols/collectors as it leaves room for more expensive sets to be based on things that wouldn't have been made otherwise.

it's important to remember that the layout will completely change next year. The great hall and WW are retiring so they will no longer be included in marketing material. I honestly don't think LEGO cares too much about creating official configurations for Hogwarts. ROR doesn't properly attach anywhere, the moving staircase can't be used when attached to other modules, they've changed the official placement of the Clock Tower, ect. They're just producing recognizable sections of the castle and including some pin holes so they can kind of be connected.

Doing that might cause you to associate the set with the election which could be frustrating if the election results make you unhappy. It might end up being a meter long reminder of something you would rather forget.

GWP live on east coast or all of US?

When will the GWP show up? At exactly 12:00 in each timezone?

Will the GWP be included with purchases at exactly midnight or will it be included with purchases a few minutes before since the DA may be available a few minutes early?

Many were on the fence because they wanted to see where the Harry figure ended up. If it was in a GWP then they would've waited for that. Now that it is included with the set more people will be tempted to order it immediately.

It's mainly for people who display LEGO on tables instead of shelves.

Watching the interview right now and I love that they have the old HP statues behind them that we saw in the designer section of the original DK book. I wonder where those were kept while the line was dormant.

If we're getting Harry here then what is HP-4? UCS Dobby's Sock GWP?

Here we go

I'll be building them in chronological order. I think WWW would be a good finale because of how bright and unique it is.

The pick a brick wall behind it and the sheet of paper above it. I think a lot of my issues with the box come from how little space the actual set takes up. It seems like LEGO had one box size and desperately needed to somehow fit this set in it leading to the odd angle of the street add the vast amount of mostly empty street and sky space above and below the set. They really should've just used a shorter but longer box.

It appears to be a bit deep but it is quite a small box.

What time will the set release online? At 12:00 am Sept. 1 everywhere or does it depend on the time zone?

I'm not worried at all. LEGO HP will definitely continue until at least 2022 (the next FB movie) and will probably continue for awhile after that. I don't remember where exactly it was said but in 2018 they were already considering making HP an evergreen theme plus when developing the theme they had at least 50 set ideas. I don't think HP will ever have as many sets per year as something like Star Wars but it's safe to say it will probably get at least five or six sets per year for the foreseeable future. 2021 will be the end of an era in a way though because not only does it cover the final movies but it will probably be the last year which doesn't feature remakes of previous sets and minifigures (excluding a car side build) from the 2018+ run of the theme.

On Instagram when asked if he designed the DA Marcos responded with a sunglasses emoji which people seem to be taking as a yes.

You could collect the CMF series but that's a completely unrelated separate product. A bookstore should come with more than 2 books. I'm also not sure where you're seeing four wand boxes. In the interior picture Ollivander is holding one, there is one on a shelf, and another (missing a lid) in the window. Regardless three or four wand boxes is a very low amount. There is no reason they couldn't have included a few more proper boxes instead of brickbuilt ones.

It seems like there is no picture for the Ollivanders:Scribbulus module. We don't get a decent look at the top floor of Ollivanders. I am a bit disappointed with the lack of books and wand boxes in this set. Most of them seem to be brickbuilt with only one or two wand boxes and books being made with the specific pieces. Not a massive issue but a bit unfortunate.

Tbh Jangbricks is the only LEGO content creator I actually enjoy. Other content creators are either too child focused or get too greedy with ads (since they know kids will watch anyways).

That's actually not too far away from me. I'm tempted but I should probably just buy them as a set.
