I have just seen on Instagram a picture (it seems from a catalog?) of the two new Moments sets, so we can take a look at the purple and black covers!

In case someone from Belgium or The Netherlands is interested, the Hogsmeade set is reduced to 68euro right now in Dreamland and Amazon.nl -so I have finally bought mine! I will pick it up tomorrow; looking forward to my first set of the 2021 series.

I do think that Eeylop's Owl Emporium and Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions are well-known and would be very popular. After all, these two shops were the first Diagon Alley set back in the 2001. I would be delighted to see these two shops again!

Yey, official release! I will definitely buy Hogsmeade, Flying lesson and Myrtle's bathroom (so 130 euro already...); but I will wait for sales in Dreamland (Belgian toy store) or Amazon. I don't like Amazon either, but, well, if you can save 15-40 per set... not gonna complain here, right? That is exactly my thought, too! It is a very clever design, offering quite some possibilities. And now only with the Flying lesson, it seems, but also with the other sets. I really like it. Moreover, it does remind to the old HP sets, whose instructions always included new possibilities to rearrange or rebuild. Flying lesson with no doubt

Well, I am definitely buying the Flying class and Hogsmeade. They fit nicely with the 2018-2020 Hogwarts, so no doubt there, day 1 to me Myrtle's bathroom might look a bit odd as stand-alone, but maybe it can also be integrated with the 2018-20 Hogwarts (we are not really into MOC); and, in any case, it seems not to be very expensive either, so I'll probably get it too. Great Hall + CoS and Fluffly's corridor, on the other hand... I do like them, especially DADA's classroom and how everything can be connected (well, the place for DADA's class once everything is combined seems also a bit odd); but will they look nice with the rest of the Hogwarts display? That is the question!

I think Falconfan said in his Instagram account that more golden figures are coming, because I remember to read that too . Not the number, though. I also think that they will give us a golden Dumbledore and a golden Draco. Draco seems fair to balance the students-teachers ratio. About golden Hagrid, well... he is with no doubt a very iconic character since book 1; but he is also much bigger than the rest, which means more golden material. Maybe he could be the golden minifig of the D2C?

Well, of course, I was talking about the style, not about the size

I recently visited a Lego exposition and there was a bust of Hagrid (note the spiders to add texture to his hair!). It made me wonder if the buildable Harry and Hermione will be something like this too.

Thanks! I really hope this is true, so I have time to finish my PhD and get it as graduation present That would be so great! I would love that idea as well. I have the same problem. I still have none of them. I have asked in the shops (in Belgium: Dreamland, Fun) a couple of times and their answers were that 1. they were all sold, 2. they would receive them soon. So nothing so far. I keep thinking that it is due to the pandemic (they produced less stock), but who knows.

I was thinking the same hahaha. But it does like cool with its wings outstretched, meaning we can use it as podium/statue!

Suddenly I am looking forward to see the Lego HP chess. The pirates one someone shared in here looks gorgeous, so I really wonder how they have adapted the one of HP. I have the feeling we are going to have a nice surprise with it, idk. Or maybe I am simply way too optimistic.

I love Cat-mione! And I am so happy with this awesome plot twist! A 60 euro chess set is something that we *might* buy, so this is super good news. Also, of course, it leaves room for something cooler to be the 250euro set. We have not bough Diagon Alley yet, but would like in the future, so I hope the D2C is Gringotts or at least something Diagon Alley related. That would be amazing!

I think I will also use my golden minifigs as statues. After all, there are several statues around Hogwarts and, until now, we only have one (the Architect) in our display. Looking forward to put them here and there in the current sets!

About the buildable Harry and Hermione: what if, as in the Art sets, there are pieces enough to change e.g. Harry's head and make it Ron's head? It would be mainly the hair and the no scar nor glasses, and maybe the eyes. Such that people can choose what to display. I mean this because leaving Ron out sounds really bad

This really made me laugh! I love the Pixies . I wonder if we will get some of them as independent DADA class, that would be great!
