A lot of YouTubers including Brick Clicker seem convinced it's Gringotts so dare we finally hope? I wonder if they'll make it super tall like the Daily Bugle but allow you to detach the top to display alongside DA? I really hope the Leaky Cauldron and brick wall is included. I can see Borgin & Burkes as a standalone set, but I would prefer all three in this set. Personally I think that these three buildings are more synonymous with Diagon Alley than everything in the DA set except Ollivanders (given WWW doesn't come until much later), so I don't think it's an obscure proposal at all.

For people in the UK, the book with Percy is up for pre-order on Amazon for £15 with a September 13th release date.

I'd love a minifigure-scale Hogwarts that just consists of the Great Hall and Gryffindor tower. I know I might be in the minority, though. I always envision them making it Christmas-themed with the sleigh from COS.

I'm so glad to see a lot of people want the Common Room. I used to feel like it was just me. Surely it's coming sooner or later. We are 5 years in now without a proper one. I thought earlier in the year @Brick Clicker said there would be some Brickheadz/Accessory packs/GWPs? I can't see the codes on Promobricks mentioned. Are these still coming?

I can also see us getting a new Whomping Willow this year (although I love the 2018 one). The D2C will be the largest HP set ever, so I can't see it being anything but minifg-scale.

76400 for $ 19.99 - DADA Boggart classroom with Lupin, Neville and Boggart Snape. 76401 for $ 49.99 - The second task with Harry, Cedric, Fleur, Ron, Cho and Gabrielle and a Grindylow/Merperson. 76402 for $ 79.99 - No.12 Grimmauld Place with Sirius (suit), new Kreacher, Mrs Weasley, Mr Weasley and Harry. 76403 for $ 99.99 - The Durmstrang Ship with Victor Krum (new face print) and alternative shark disguise, Karkaroff, random Durmstrang student and a small forest side-build with Barty Crouch, Rita Skeeter, Hermione (in uniform with alt. sleeping face) and Dumbledore. 76404 for $ 44.99 - 2022 Advent Calendar with Percy, Fred and George in their initial knitted jumpers, Ginny, Harry and Ron in their Attack on the Burrow outfits, a new printed Pygmy Puff (on a pink technic ball) and the Burrow Christmas-themed builds. 76405 for $ 469.99 - Gringotts, Leaky Cauldron and Borgin & Burkes Diagon Alley set; with 4x Goblins, Tom the innkeeper (PS), Mr Borgin, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco (suit) and Narcissa. 76406 for $ 49.99 - Y1-2 Hagrid's Hut (based on CoS slug eating scene) with new Hagrid without his overcoat, new Fang, Harry (Quidditch uniform), Ron and Hermione (school uniform) and a tree side-build. 76407 for $ 89.99 - The Shrieking Shack with Harry, Sirius, Padfoot, Lupin, Werewolf Lupin, Scabbers and Pettigrew. 76408 for $ 119.99 - Hogwarts add-on with clocktower courtyard (that connects underneath the Hospital Wing), Gryffindor Common Room (with normal and ripped Fat Lady portrait) and Lupin's office; including Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Lupin, Flich and Snape.

I hope it's a minifigure-scale Hogwarts, or Gringotts/Leaky Cauldron/Borgin & Burkes. If it's neither of those things I hope it's something microscale/a display piece that I can easily pass up, because I do not want to spend that money on something I just 'like.'

Looking at my sets, I think the Burrow and Hogsmeade are the perfect balance between a beautiful exterior and amazing interior. I literally couldn't think of a way to improve these sets (except the minifgs). I just think that they've never got Hogwarts exactly right in either style. The Great Hall is IMO the best (excluding the tower), with a fantastic interior and exterior. The Clock Tower and Astronomy Tower are amazing from the outside but lacking on the inside. The 2021 sets have good to fantastic interiors (excluding Fluffy) but terrible exteriors. This is why I really, really want a D2C minifig-scale Hogwarts Castle. I'm really hoping that the Hospital Wing has an awesome interior. Also, I think 2020 was peak Harry Potter Lego. Just amazing!

I've been setting up my Lego HP display for Christmas (a Christmas vignette from each of the 7 stories and my large Hogwarts display) and it makes me so excited thinking of all of the new stuff we'll be getting next year... Pomfrey! Percy! Divination classroom! Bertie Botts Beans! [and that's just what we know about so far!] Even though I understand complaints about exclusive figs, the lack of DH sets and this new modular castle system being a downgrade, I'm just happy that we get new Lego HP every year after so many years of dreaming of the theme returning. Wow, great work! I want Fang so badly this year. Seeing Hagrid pulling the Christmas tree in my Hogwarts display, I am desperate to see Fang bounding along beside him...

What do you mean? Was there meant to be something else to it? I'm always interested in BTS Lego info.

I wish I'd have seen Grindelwald's Escape on sale. I wanted to get more of them. I only ever say them go up in price because they were discontinued early. I can't work out what this is. IDK how people can tell that's a microfig.

Um I've looked at the DADA pictures for ages now and can't see a Moody microfig...

Wow, it really does! The corner build with the one large tower in the same colour. Plus, if you've ever been to the Wizarding World, Gringotts has a similar side building with the steps and the railing. Gosh I hope we get a Gringotts soon...

Wow, that looks much more suitable than the Hidden Side one so I really hope they make a recolour for her. Both the acorn and snowy hat in the new CMF would look fine for Victor as well.

I'm sorry, but I absolutely love this set. I have been wanting a skirt piece for Y1 Hermione for the longest time. I hope these are easy to get more of on Bricklink! I love the Bertie Botts jar and I bet we will see that in the Hospital Wing. I love the new trunk lid - that was something I'd been wanting for a while, too. I love that we're getting another polyjuice potion glass. I love all the stickers and mini builds. I love the scarf uniforms and I can't tell if it's actually a brighter colour or just the bright images, but I don't mind anyway. And I love that we can make background students even though I don't like the weird hair colours (pink and blue). I also love that we're getting another plain uniform. And isn't it strange that this is the third Advance Potion Making book we have got but this is the first to have text on? Which probably makes it the best. So much to love! ...Except the March release date.

The January sets must be getting revealed soon! I can't wait.

YAY. Hope one's a cool GWP that coincides with the January sets and the other is a Brickheadz (Neville + Luna? Dobby? McGonagall?).

My favourite minifigs so far are Y1-2 Hermione, Hagrid and both CMF Dumbledores. My worst are Seamus/Hannah/Justin/etc. - just all the students who use generic faces. Thanks, I had fun.

Is anyone else seeing PS this weekend at the cinema for the 20th Anniversary screening? I'm going there now.

Choices.

Does he explain in the video why they decided to make this set?

There's a Lego Harry Potter quiz up on The Wizarding World website.

Glad you got it, @drewdotexe

On the US Lego website it says it's on back order but it's letting you order it. It might be your best bet so you don't end up paying more than retail on eBay/Amazon.

I think it looks good here until we get the 2022 add-ons.
