I keep thinking this and a Shrieking Shack (with werewolf Lupin and dog Sirius) will be coming next year, too.

I'm not opening my sets until July 18th on my Birthday but I have everything except the Harry & Hermione big figs, so I will post here if anyone in the UK wants to trade cards then. :)

SpinMaster has become the lead developer of Harry Potter toys and they are releasing a Hogwarts castle with stackable classrooms. Interestingly, they are marketing Hermione as the lead character. The range looks adorable!

Wow I never knew he was dead. So sad. Next time I watch HBP I will think of it.

Wow, are they making a Beauty and the Beast D2C? Yep.

Why has no one mentioned the new, rounded windows in Lockhart's office? Or am I seeing things?

@Textorix Great work! You even made the Fluffy set exterior look nice (which is quite the feat ). Personally, I am going to display the 2021 set-up from the interior and leave my exterior-facing 2018-20 set-up as is, although I will try and add the training courtyard set to my 2018-20's display. Call me Hannah Montana because I want the best of both worlds! I didn't, but when I added them to my basket it showed double points as the total earned. I went ahead and pre-ordered them and took a screenshot of my basket so if there are any issues, I will contact CS and ask for the advertised points added. It charged me which I wasn't expecting. But I expect it to just be that temporary hold thing they usually do. Wow, that is weird! I just had a look on the US site and saw what you mean. Poor old Flying Lessons, no one gets that early for pre-order. I agree about the big figs. I want them but I can't justify the price. Because my Birthday is in the middle of July, ever since last year I have started showing some self-control and being a good Dudley Birthday Boy and waiting to get them then. So I pre-ordered them from Lego to get the double points, as I don't mind if they arrive late (it would actually be better for me if they did, to lesson the wait time). In 2018 I managed to get the sets early by a few days by ordering them for click and collect at Smyths. Then in 2019 I got them a few days early again by ordering them for delivery again from Smyths. I wish I had a small, local toy shop near me to buy them at as I am trying not to fund mega corporations directly after last year. But eh, I don't and Lego will get the money anyway.

I wonder if there's any chance of there being secret August sets like in 2019. It feels weird that there's no Chamber of Flying Keys or final challenge, especially when there's a gap next to the Devil's Snare (where they put Lockhart's classroom) and that we're getting golden Quirrell but not regular.

CoS and Hogsmeade are up for pre-order at Smyths and a few online retailers for June 1st, so they aren't exclusives in the UK. Nothing else is, though.

I remember there being a fake list leak ages back with a girl's bathroom on it. And I also remember there being a fake build of a flying lessons courtyard set sometime last year. Funny when you look back.

If it isn't minifigure scale they can keep it, as far as I'm concerned.

It would be interesting if someone asked the designer guy why they released Hogsmeade in a year focused on movies 1 and 2. Also (don't know if this would be skating around asking about future releases) why they broke their release schedule - was it because of the anniversary or is DH too child-unfriendly?

PS Gringotts and Leaky Cauldron would have been PERFECT for this anniversary wave as the D2C. Interesting. The in-the-know people seem to be adamant the D2C is called Hogwarts Icons and consists of brick-built items. But there has been a lot of mix-ups this wave (with the chess set, flying set, etc.) so who knows.

Should I give up hope for any secret sets or the D2C being minifigure-scale now? Should I just accept that this is our lot for 2021?

Maybe they'll surprise us with an August DH wave.

I doubt it will last another 2 years given this year's line-up.

They refer to the Three Broomsticks as a pub. I'm shocked. And I'm annoyed they didn't make Leaky Cauldron now. [And Moe in the Simpsons]

The more I look at Fluffy and the chess set the more I hate them. Does anyone know what this piece is? Does anyone know if this piece is available in brown or black?

Here is a list of the 2001-3 sets and whether they have been remade in any form this iteration (2018-present): What stands out to me is Gryffindor and Slytherin Common Rooms (I hope we see these in Moments style sets this winter, as Lego seems happy to include the other two houses and take more artistic licence - ie. the Weasley's bedrooms, Luna's dorm), Gringotts and Knockturn Alley, The Chamber of Winged Keys and the Final Challenge. I expect we'll see a representation of the Library and the Troll at some point. I feel that a Dobby's release set is unnecessary. What is everyone else's thoughts?

This is my dream, a minifgure-scale Hogwarts D2C. I would pay £700 for it.

For people in the UK you do get double points on pre-orders and you don't get billed until they ship. However flying lessons, big figs and chess are not up for pre-order yet.

If I pre-order, will I be charged now or when they ship? I can't afford to buy them now but will be able to June 1st, but want to get double points.

Seeing this, I wonder if they were inspired by the giant microscale Hogwarts. See the CoS and PS challenge chambers underneath the school reminds me of it.

Aww, the actress who played Narcissa passed away today. RIP. I hope she will be immortalised as a Lego figure next year.
