But the head is clearly on there. Unless it's a head that doesn't match up and it's just there for a placeholder

Regardless, why would someone only leak the torso

The photographer seems to have a bowtie and a green coat https://imgur.com/a/cHWLpNt Actually, upon looking again, I'm certain it's him. The suit matches up too.

I think it's the photographer in F&B

That's like 8 hours from now though, at the pace this thread moves haha

Welp, 600 pages here we come!

This was pretty much confirmed by the description, no? It lists all the shops and specifically says "Daily Prophet entrance".

This also throws the theory out the window that they were waiting to reveal DA and the CMF at the same time. They had no reason to wait this long ?

They just revealed the CMF, lol. Finally.

Do you have a link to the website? I also thought it was the fan-made picture that was circulating on Instagram today.

I just built the Room of Requirement and I found an decent place to put it in my Hogwarts display. I wasn't happy with connecting it on the end of either side (to the greenhouse or the Dumbledore's Office tower), so I simply placed it near the Whomping Willow part of the castle. That allowed the closet to act as an extension of it, which also reflects how it looked in the HBP. What do you all think? https://imgur.com/a/kuURTwa

From what I'm reading, I think what you originally said was partially true. The sets do use the same license as Universal and the parks. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the sets are going to be derived from or based on the parks, since Universal has no say over what LEGO does with the same license.

Do you have a source for this? I'm pretty sure the license is called "Wizarding World" to encompass HP and its extended universe, and the license is directly from Warner Bros and not from the parks. I found the original press release for the HP sets in 2018 and it says "LEGO Systems, Inc., in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, announces that a collection of LEGO® sets inspired by the Wizarding World". Universal also gets their license from Warner Bros. Consumer Products for the parks, but that doesn't mean the sets have to be related to them in any way.

This was me a few days ago haha. It was pretty hard to say no to the Burrow, but I'm going to wait for LEGO to have a GWP or double VIP points before getting it. DA is my #1 priority though, so I'm getting that as soon as it comes out

Aren't masks required at Target? I feel your frustration though. So annoying that people can't do one simple thing to help get us out of this mess sooner.

Being good at social media is easy too, just be as cryptic as possible and provide no explanations or sources for your info ?

We as a forum would make a pretty great fake leaker tbh. We have the most info to make educated guesses that may turn out to be right, and all we need to do is make a cryptic IG account and post our fake leaks with a LEGO logo and a black background. Let's do it!!!

Lol, or "Inspect Element". I've played many pranks on people using that ?

Also, the ig post was from someone who just created an account. No reason to trust them.

Yep, removed my comment, it seems like he got that info from the same ig post. Regardless I think it looks fake because Ollivander's full name isn't included and Harry Potter is listed last. That seems odd to me.

Hmm this wasn't on the cached website originally so it could've easily been faked. Would've been super easy to just edit that part in.

removed

This seems likely because, based on the page that LEGO accidentally put up for DA, that one is codenamed "HP-3"

Yep, I enjoy it too! As long as there's no condescension ?

Fair enough, but if this was really the case they could've included Gringotts and also made a standalone set (like the Great Hall vs the D2C Hogwarts).
