I've seen your video and photos and... oh, well, everything is so nice. You're an artist! This is art!
-
Wow... those images leave me speechless. What to say? Fantastic!

The one I enjoy less is Charms Class. I find the Sand Blue exterior parts too much "cold" and the inerior poor (considerating the other Moments set). But that's a problem with Charms: I mean, in Herbology you have plants, shovel, bucket, scissor... in Potions you have pots, mug, bottles, potions... while in Charm you have feathers, cookies, tea cups, goblet, key. I think Charms are less adventurous than Herbology and Potions. And the closed set is the most fragile, but I like the old Flitwick inclusion and don't like the presence of Cho (Professor Flitwick, please don't curse me! ). At the third place, Transfiguration Class. Here I find colours warmer and more welcoming, I like the new McGonagall minifigure, but the interior as poor as Charms. (Professor McGonagall, please, don't put me in detention ). Then Potions Class, "cold" colours even here, mainly the grey inside, but I can stand this, cause Potions is in the dungeons. I like how the central building create two separate locations (the same happens for Herbology), snakes decoration, Potions accessories (brick and stickers). (Oh, thank you, Professor Snape for not takink me off points cause I put your class in the second position ). The Moment set I like the most, answering your question, is Herbology one. Warm colours, two nice location (inside and outside the greenhouse), plants, accessories. Not really understanding why Cedric is tutoring Neville , the only reason cause they could be in the same class. (Oh, thank you, Professor Sprout. +50 points cause I put you in the first position)

Oh, a very nice question and a difficult one to answer. If I could design with no pieces and budget limit and no consideration for the actual Hogwarts style, I would create the Library, merging together its appearences in movies, books and videogames. That's something I'm starting to do on Stud.io, but I already know that I will end with a 3000 pieces set and who knows If I will even managed to build it. Limiting my fantasy, but increasing a lot my ability , I would find interesting to recreate Lovegood House or Minister for Magic. A good challenge would be trying to put Common Houses + Common Rooms inside a "Hogwarts Moments" style set. Finally, following a more playable style for sets, I would try to give justice to a lot of Hogwarts location that hardly (obviously my opinion) will be recreated: Trophy Room and Armour Gallery, StaffRoom, Quirrell Classroom, Godric's Hollow graveyard. Oh, well, a lot of idea, I suppose. It's so difficult to choose and I've already cut my message . No problem with Voldemort, they kept the same, just changing Marvolo with Orvoloson. But they translated, until HBP, "Halfblood" and "Mudblood" with the same word "Mezzosangue". Just a bit (a big bit) confusing . That's the worst error, in my opinion. Unfortunately not the only one.
-
Here in Italy, first edition of PS book has a strange cover: Harry, with a mouse hat, playing chess. And another mouse near him. And better not talk about translation... and not only cause it would be OT
-
Oh, well, I suppose that Lego doesn't have to put a dead unicorn on the box. They could simply put a living unicorn in that scene and we would do the rest. But, please, give us the unicorn!
-
At least as a Lego minifigure Nick could join the Headless Hunt
-
Doesn't it happen also on Great Hall box (always with Nearly Headless Nick)? I don't remember well.
-
Without knowing about anniversary sets with PoA McGonagall and without "low your expectations" hint from Guyon2002, that DH McGonagall image would have resulted in a explosion of positive expectations.
-
Isn't that something really true for all types of riddles, hints... not only Lego related?. When you already know the solution, you find immediately all the links If we hadn't know June prelim images, we would have thought that a DH McGonagall was coming. And we would have filled pages of speculation on what DH set McGonagall was probably to appeared in.

For my custom Angelina I'm using Barbara Gordon from The LEGO Batman Movie CMF. Not so dark, I know, but at least darker than Cho.
-
A funny thing... I don't know why, but when I was a kid, seeing PS and CS movies, I was sure that Alicia was the blonde one. For this reason my custom Alicia is blonde . I suppose I can say she's really mine .
-
She's very lovable in the books, I think (much more than shouty Angelina ). As for being produced by Lego, I suppose you are thinking to HPB Katie. Am I correct?
-
I'm with you. Quidditch Pack is a very juicy occasion for Lego to sell something that I think people would buy and some would buy in big quantity to create Quidditch teams. At least this is what I would do . And I would prefer having Angelina instead of Harry too.
-
I suppose that there's a lot of people who would buy 7 Quidditch Pack even with coloured heads instead of minifigures heads . Only for Quidditch uniforms. The same, I think, would happen with a very lazy charachter selection like Harry, Draco, Cho and Cedric. Oh, well, maybe Lego will surprise us. Who knows?
-
Talking about "Moments" sets, in your opinion would be possible (and with accettable results) for Lego to create 4 Common Rooms and Dormitories in this way?
-
So only certainty is Hooch, in her Flying lesson outfit. All the rest is speculation, something is more probable (Flying lesson based set, sort of Remembrall scene remake) something is less probable (other minifigures, typology of set...).
-
Trying to keep order in my mind... Correct me, if I'm wrong. What we know: - Hooch minifigure (Flying lesson outfit) and golden Quirrell; Very probable: - Set based on Flying lesson; - Sort of Remembrall remake; Probable: - Golden Quirrell in this set; Not known: - Number of set, number of minifigures, typology of set.
-
Would be possible a $250 brick built Chess set? Maybe also with 3 minifigures (Harry, Ron, Hermione in their PS Final Challenges Outfits) and a golden minifigure as a plus? I'm thinking something like 852293 Castle Giant Chess Set or like this old Idea [https://ideas.lego.com/projects/8d10ae8a-dd03-46de-b049-37174f840a62]. I mean possible in term of bricks numbers, price ratio and so on (I admit I'm not so expert in similar analysis ).
-
Yes, no pictures at the moment. We can still hope
-
Quidditch pack... that was something quite obvious. Like for the Students pack, a simple way to sell the same set a lot of time Nothing wrong, of course... but, if this leak is correct, what a lazy minifigures selection! Harry, obviously, cause we can't survived without him being in nearly every set And, of course, Malfoy... would you leave poor Harry without his main Quidditch rival ? Than we'll have Cho and I really don't understand why they had to give her that face colour... Oh, well, they'll give us Smith... luckily, cause they could have put Cedric instead. I hope they'll give him a new faceprint, but Hannah last year had a reused one.
-
At this point can we assume one of the set will be a Remembrall remake (with golden Quirrel)?
-
Maybe they decided to celebrate the 20th anniversary remaking all the 2001 minifigures. Not considering variants, Peeves, Chess Queen and Armor Statue, they were: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Malfoy, Dumbledore, Hagrid, Snape and Quirrel. Add Voldemort cause he's the main enemy and you have 9 golden minifigures for 9 sets. If that's the case I think Dumbledore could be in the 250 set.
-
Oh, that could be a problem for me... I have only 2 Quidditch match set, but I've already built two little lower stands
-
Yes, very very very little variety... there's no possible comparison between those years and nowadays.
