1. Hogsmeade - by far the best set this year (at least now), great looking accurate build, amazing minifigures with 3 new characters and the only set which is not PS/CoS based
2. Chamber of Secrets - This set could have been easily the best this year if the build wasnt so poorly designed (not as detailed and too blocky) and it didnt contain Great Hall. On the other hand minifigures in this one are just too great to put it any lower in my list, specially with moulded Basilisk.
3. Chess set - This one is a big mystery and big if for me. If it isnt just chess but also other rooms and some decent looking part of the castle with great minifigures then I can accept this one and buy it, but if it is just large chess with only trio minifigures (I dont count chess figures as minifigs) its a big no from me.
