I think it's more likely this "stag" piece is actually meant to be a reindeer for a Winter Village set. Looks more like a reindeer to me.

Was just doing that. Pretty nice layout. Madam Malkin's is going to take a bit of figuring out with those curved windows & doorway arches. Most of the others are fairly simple to reproduce once the instructions get published.

Thanks. I've seen that, was hoping to find something a little more looking straight at the fronts of some of the buildings for window shapes & placement, doors & such. I've been searching a few times on the internet but this picture is pretty much all I've found so far.

Where are you finding pictures and/or blueprint details to reference? I'd love to know some source material so I can make some additional shops using appropriate colors.

If you use the Brickset forums there was a post from Minifigures Plus on August 4 to place a pre-order with them for $209 for the full box or $69 for the set of 16 figures with free shipping in US additional shipping charge for International shipping. You need to PM them through the forum to order at these prices. Don't know if they still have availability but they aren't shipping until mid September. You can find the post under Brickset.com articles on their forums.

Sorry, I take issue with wannabe nobodies trying to profit off of others by rehashing info with useless pictures of old sets when describing in details all about upcoming new items using info obtained from other sources with no credit given to the original source. This is why I try to avoid YouTube.

Direct quote two times from self proclaimed "big leaker".

So it appears we have another self proclaimed "big leaker" who produces videos of copied still pictures of old models with pictures of leaks copied from Instagram as well as details from already leaked elsewhere information. These types of videos are a total waste of time and anything but true leaks as they are just compilations of other people's already leaked information.

I expect a tease on Friday so we all have to suffer through the weekend and maybe part of next week before they finally do the big reveal some time next week.

I have to say I'm glad that it appears Gringott's will not be part of this release. I always thought that including it would take away too much from the actual bustling street/alley which is what I first visualize when one says Diagon Alley. I know Gringott's is part of it but I always picture it as a huge building at the very end separated from all the other shops and much prefer it be a separate stand alone set. Likewise The Leaky Cauldron is the entrance to the whole thing but not neccessarily actually at the opposite end. I expect I am going to be very happy with the Diagon Alley they give us but wish it included the owl & robe shops. I may need to start creating a few of the missing pieces on my own.

I don't see any difference between making the Leaky Cauldron and making Mos Eisley Cantina. Heaven knows they were smoking who knows what & drinking all sorts of strange concoctions of whatever in the Cantina. Never mind what some of those aliens look like (Ponda Boba). They have the Inn as an alternate build to the Creator Pirate Ship & there's how many Rum bottles in Barracuda Bay not to mention the Tavern. If they don't make the Leaky Cauldron at some point it's beyond ridiculous. I really hope we eventually get it.

No, it's a Cantina. But they are both by definition Bars.

They don't sell them if you search under the CMF item number. Just speculating that that piece may become available in other sets somewhere down the road which would mean they might actually sell them individually at some point.

Awesome pictures. Love the printed tile inside Myrtle's book as well as the one already shown for Harry. That Sword of Gryffindor is to die for. Can't wait until I get my full box. Too bad it's probably going to be a little longer than a month before I actually get them. Maybe if I see some in the wild I'll try to pick up a few. I'm going to need a bunch of those Butterbeer mugs & Ice Cream glasses. I'm sure the price on B&P for the mugs will be pretty hefty if they even make them available to purchase. Still trying to get some of those pigs from the Burrow & Barracuda Bay. Can't wait to see a close up of the Monster Book of Monsters. Also my local Target in Loveland, CO had most of the new sets out today. Everything but the Room of Requirements which was the one I was planning to buy was on the shelves. I'm really trying to wait for a % off deal or Gift Card with purchase before pulling the trigger on the rest of the sets or an awesome GWP from Lego.

Haven't been to Walmart or Target this week but Target's website has most of these new sets listed as being able to be shipped beginning 8/14.

I know I'm new to posting here but this has been hashed & rehashed over & over already. Let the microscale theory die already please!

It isn't on their website. It was an offer they posted on the message boards of another forum to pm them through that message board. I don't know if I can name them here.

Lego did start selling full boxes of the last few series of CMF's but I never saw Series 20 actually available from them. It always said Sold Out on the US website for series 20. Keep in mind Lego charges full RRP for a box when they offer them, no discount. I previously ordered HP series 1 full box from an ebay seller when they came out. I just pre-ordered HP series 2 from MiniFigures Plus here in the US at a discounted price of $209 for the full box with free shipping through an offer on another forum.

Hi, another new member here. I've been lurking for a while & finally joined. To sum up I think we haven't seen all the stickers yet as none of the leaked pictures were on clear or foil backing. As to the number order of stickers on the sheets it means absolutely nothing as there have been plenty of sets where higher numbered stickers get applied earlier in the build than lower number ones and many times not even in any sort of order. On the subject of whether or not Gringotts is part of the set I'm in the camp of hoping it is a separate set. I really don't want the quality of the rest of the shops to suffer because they need pieces to put towards Gringotts. When I think of Diagon Alley the smaller shops are what I think of first and what I really want to see in detail. While Gringotts is the big icon it definitely can stand on it's own as a separate build & imo should. If they include it in this set I hope it's just a facade rather than the ultimate Gringotts build. I agree that Diagon Alley isn't complete without Gringotts sitting at the end but I'm really hoping for the Shoppes of Diagon Alley with a separate full Gringotts set. I'd also like to see a decent build of the Leaky Cauldron that would ultimately match up with the entry to Diagon Alley. What's to say they don't actually announce two sets when the big reveal finally comes.
