I am of the opposite opinion. I can't think of any reason why they would place the Hospital Wing where they did, unless they were planning a Clocktower set. The Hospital Wing has a connection point that is facing exactly where a Clocktower set would connect. I am hoping for an L-shaped Clocktower set that encloses the quad. The tower portion itself has the film-accurate exterior facing toward the back of the display, and the quad-facing side should have a fully-detailed roof, which is the only part of the set you would be seeing over the Great Hall and Main Tower. This ensures that the facade looks good from both sides. I would propose that the first floor (quad-side) would be open, showing the swinging pendulum, and the rocky base could hold a classroom, much like the Hospital Wing set. The set could also include a mirror-image of the Hospital Wing, enclosing the quad, allowing for three additional classrooms. This would connect to the other free connection point on the back of the Main Tower set. I am still holding out hope that they are not wrapping up the castle before including all of the major, memorable facade locations. But only LEGO knows for sure.

Yep! The Training Grounds and Greenhouses give me hope!

I am in nearly 100% agreement with this... except I also want the bell towers. They are part of that iconic silhouette, and can be seen when approaching Hogwarts by boat.

If we look at the names of the rumored sets, we might be able to assume that anything with "Hogwarts Castle" in the set name will be part of the "Most Detailed Hogwarts" collection. That would mean Dueling Club, Charms Class, and Flying Lesson. Where these sets will go or connect is yet unknown. I think that Charms is the cheapest, Dueling Club is a bit more expensive but with fewer pieces, and the Flying Lesson will be the largest addition. There are some connection points on the back of the new Great Hall, so I would be curious to see if Dueling Club extends out from the back of the Great Hall, or if the Grand Staircase connects there.

While this is true, I actually watched the movie again recently, and the fireplace is on the opposite wall. So the new Great Hall is "technically" more accurate, since the fireplace should be on the right-side wall, rather than the left-side wall.

Hey man! I just wanted to say excellent job on this MOC, and that I would also love to see the instructions for making it! I'd love to create this display for myself. It is truly excellent, and I love the fact that it largely maintains the original designs. Just curious, I know you primarily used the sets from 2018-2020 for the large castle elements, and I think I see some of the castle elements from 2021 as well. Did you include all system-scale castle sets (including 2021) in this MOC? Also, do you have any approximation of how many additional parts outside of those sets would be required or how many copies of each set we'd need to complete the scene? Excellent work.

Please send the pics in a DM, if you don't mind! Thanks in advance.
