Marietta Edgecombe was Cho's friend who snitched.

Unless they wear numbers on their uniforms I guess there isn't a discernable difference unless they give them different colored brooms.

If we get a Katie figure at some point I'd rather it be a student or Hogsmeade version but I could settle for a Quidditch one. We also could do with versions of all four quidditch Weasleys although I think I have enough spare parts to make those without giving up any slots in a quidditch themed set unless they make their heads wearing goggles.

If you watch the movies whenever there are a lot of students gathered there is quite a mixed bag of different skin tones present. My comment of "unfortunately" is rooted in the fact that any pictures I can find of quidditch players other than Cho, Ginny or a couple of the other females on the Gryffindor team they are all white males. I too would much rather get Angelina over Harry. As to those who don't think the accessory pack will be quidditch I might point out that with the Ravenclaw & Hufflepuff robes being in DA last year & the book with Cedric wearing his quidditch robes this year seem to all point to us getting a pack containing all four quidditch uniforms if not this year then next.

So hopefully but unlikely the Quidditch accessory pack will have someone other than Cho for Ravenclaw. Considering one of the books being published this year comes with a Cedric Quidditch figure I was surprised they listed Zacharias as the Hufflepuff student. I would expect the accessory pack to include Cedric since this figure is already out there. Unfortunately most of the known quidditch players are males and white skinned. So unless they replace Harry with one of the Gryffindor female players which is highly doubtful the only other chance for a more obscure student would be someone from Slytherin other than Malfoy or Flint.

I'm happy for a Quidditch pack just for the torsos alone. But I wish they had given us someone with a darker skin tone than Cho and yet another white skinned male in Zacharias Smith. It's kind of hard to build an army when they are all white students or Cho.

Since Richard Harris only played Dumbledore in the first two movies I don't find it strange that there are more Gambon versions. Nevermind.

I was thinking more of the Stadium.

We still need Potage's Cauldron shop, Eyelop's Owl Emporium, Magical Menagerie, Slug & Jigger's Apothecary, Madame Malkin just to name a few of them.

That would definitely save me $250 to spend on other sets. I don't see the World Cup tent being something many of us would be willing to spend that much money on. On the other hand if it were the tent the Weasley's, Harry & Hermione stay in during the world cup that could be interesting but still not worth that much money.

I will too but I don't really need more Gryffindor or Slytherin Quidditch uniform robes since I got enough of the Quidditch sets to make a complete team of each. Guess I'll be able to put together some extras for each team. Here's hoping they don't limit the orders to less packs that we need to build a full team.

I totally agree with not wanting anything more to do with Quidditch other than an accessory pack that would enable me to create Hufflepuff & Ravenclaw teams without yet another version of Cho & Cedric. If they were to make a new Quidditch Pitch I would expect they would change the house colors used in the stands to some of the darker colors like DarkRed, Earth Green, Earth Blue and Flame Yellow Orange meaning mixing it with the previous set to create more stands would look awful. The leak about a golden Quirell makes me think the set would be with the mirror when Harry finds out Quirell's possessed by Voldemort. I think it's wishful thinking that it could be the scene in the Leaky Cauldron but I would love that. I would love a remake of the flying lesson scene especially if they included a build of castle wall for the background. Everyone needs to remember that we don't all like the same things so the sets I want some won't care for and scenes I don't care about are others biggest wish. I'm personally really tired of reading the same whiney comments repeated over & over again dissecting the personal opinions stated weeks ago by our leakers about people liking, disliking or hating the June & August sets. Please let's move on from that.

Some of these are still not available in the U.S and show a price of 0.00. I've been checking for the doors since before the first time someone posted they were able to order then in some other country. Earth Green, Dark Red & Cool Yellow doors are still showing 0.00 price & out of stock. The Rat has been available here since the beginning as well as the tan owl. Flying Hedwig has no price and Brown Owl says not for sale. Lavender 1x4 brick has been available here for almost a month now. Most of the hair & hats with the exception of Draco's hair which does show a price have been available . Never been able to order the White skull shaped head even though a price is listed.

I've said it before, there is someone high up at Lego who has made inclusion of sand green elements a requirement for all new sets.

When I was in Target yesterday they had a handful of the Vidiyo blind boxes on the shelf. Noticed above the barcode on the back there is a printed number. Some ended with 45 & the rest ended with 49. Has anyone determined why they have different numbers? I didn't buy any.

I had two of the Dark Red Grill pieces crack when I put them on the front of Quality Quidditch Supplies. I've requested replacements. I didn't notice problems with any other pieces so far.

I almost added hats to my comment. After seeing that picture @deskp I think I need to build some Greenhouses. Never realized how many there were.

I agree that it is the best color to represent oxidized copper. The use of it to represent the moss on the roof of the Blacksmith is a bit of a stretch though. They would have been better off using a mix of olive & sand green to mimic new moss fading to old. Now let's get this topic back on track. We need more Dobby and a few of his sock collection too!

It's not a bad color, just over-used a bit much in my opinion like in the current Blacksmith. It's the main reason I didn't buy the Old Fishing Store. When I came to appreciate the build of that set it was already retired so I missed out.

I think I'll like the Basilisk best in olive. I hope they don't change it to sand green which seems to be one of their must use colors these days in almost every set. I don't know what they were thinking with that abomination they gave us in the 2018 set for the basilisk it's so dark & ugly.

I hope your dream comes true someday. It sounds awesome.

That's an interesting idea. What if they do use the 2 in 1 concept again like they did with Barracuda Bay for the Great Hall anniversary set? That would be an unexpected surprise. They probably could do it with the Fluffy set too. Just give us some directions to change around a few things to show a different scene like the winged keys or the chess game.

Given the current state of the world due to Covid I think is a big part of the summer releases coming in two separate waves. There have been factory shutdowns, shipping delays, countrywide lock downs, etc. Lego can't keep high demand sets in stock. Let's face it, Harry Potter is definitely a big seller for them. It's easier to produce a lot of half the wave of sets & get them out there. Then they can retool the factories to produce a lot of the second half of the wave and get them out. I'd rather be able to get a few sets one release & then get more at a later date due to a staggered release. Would save me from having to try to decide which ones might sell out first to figure which ones to buy first. Plus if these anniversary sets with their experimental style end up totally bombing Lego can reduce production on the rest of the wave to cut their losses like what they did with the final Hidden Side wave.

I was just thinking about this earlier. I cold see them making the House Towers over in more fitting colors like using the Dk Red for Gryffindor, Earth Green for Slytherin, Earth Blue for Ravenclaw, Flame Yellow Orange for Hufflepuff. Only problem with that is they wouldn't mix well with the original ones in #75956. They'd probably change up the shapes of them a bit too. A new specialized broom would be nice.

So I was just looking at the new images of the Monkie Kid Flower Fruit Mountain set and the cavern backside looks like it could be used & modified to make the Inferi Cavern.
