The Burrow is a promising set. Not sure if I'll buy it, in the end, unfortunately space is something to keep in consideration (also money, but I can save enough to buy the set, not to enlarge my home ). Surely I hope the GWP, if it will a good one, being avaible not only by purchasing The Burrow. For this reason I've not buy Durmstrang Ship, Aragog and Ford Anglia yet.

Gnomes would likely be icing on the cakes of this set... who knows if there is a ghoul - stickered - in the attic.

In my opinion, in the end we'll have all the common rooms, probably already inside segments of the castle. Charms class should give us suggestion on how the upper switchable sections will be, considering that in theory it's not located in the undergounds and untill now we had only undergound locations (Troll bathroom, Hufflepuff common room, Potions class). As for Dumbledore's office I think it could be put in the Grand Staircase Tower upper part... while the lower part could have a movable stair.

Totally likely, we'll see.

Agree, there's a lot to do for people who wants to create their own Hogwarts castle.

That's unavoidable, in my opinion. No way, I think, that LEGO will sell a set with an empty space. So any set will be complete on its own, like the Great Hall with Troll bathroom and Hufflepuff common room. Plus there will be sets like Potions class that could be put in the model instead of something else. In the end, we'll probably have all common rooms, a good amount of classrooms and some iconic scenes and need to decide what to put in the model (of course, anyone can at his pleasure modify the model to accomodate everything). At the moment, if you think about it, we have two spaces under the Great Hall and three sets that can go in those spaces. So one of them need to be excluded.

Interesting news. What I'm more curious about is seeing if we'll have upper sections switchable as well as underground sections - yes in my opinion. Charms class is a good candidate to be the first one of it. Now, the fact we're not sure wheter it's a 20$ or 50$ make me suspicious... 50$ for a simple class in which there's nothing special but simple feathers need to be justifie with something more than Flitwick with his hat... it's 10$ more than Potions class, but with 617 pieces, while Potions class had 397 pieces... does this suggest that the 50$ set has a lot small parts? Could this be the Motorbike, with something like flame and smoke made by small pieces? Hagrid's Bike and Sidecar is something I would really appreciate as a small set - 20$ - the reference to sidecar means this is taken from DH escape from Privet Drive... now, just some thinkings aloud... a scene with only Hagrid, Harry and the motorbike is something with not much sense, but a scene with Voldermot, maybe even with a death eather, wouldn't be name as Seven Potter Battle or somethin similar with a reference to the battle and the action scene? My conclusion is that Hagrid's Bike and Sidecar is what the name suggest, a 50$ model of the motorbike, with no brick-built Hagrid or Harry, but only a Hagrid variant with googles. Not my cup of tea, in the case. It's true that it could be something like Ford Anglia, but how could a motorbike have 204 pieces while the Ford Anglia has 165? So, in my opinion, Charms class could be the 20$ set, with a simple building - base + very little walls section + some fornitures (like Hufflepuff common room or Troll bathroom), Flitwick and some students. Really interested in Flying Lesson... expensive and with a lot of pieces considering the scene. My idea, as others already pointed out, is that we'll have part of the castle in it. Will it be part of the big model? Likely yes, but where and how? Dueling Club would probably be something to put inside the Great Hall instead of tables. Here characters can't be but Lockhart, Snape, Harry and Malfoy... and the snake. Not interested in Knight Bus: I don't see something really different from the last one, that I already have. The same for any microscale set, like this Diagon Alley seems to be. Last but not least, Malfoy Manor. I admit that the location doesn't say too much to me. But it's true that has a lot of potential, both as a building and in term of minifigure.

It's correct taking leaks with a grain of salt... but have a definitive and high expensive Burrow with all Weasley family but Charlie - considering they produced Fortescue wich appears in the background of a single frame of the movie and Madam Malkin which never appears - would be a choice more than absurd. Looking forward to see it...

I was a pleasure ! Thanks! Yeah, that's why I decided to create the MOC. With the same purpose, I have recreated a further scene that was missing - The Midnight Duel. It's just two corridors with a hidden passage. When I'll have some spare time I will post it on the forum.

Thanks for your kind words!

4703_The Potion Riddle [MOC] Pieces 205 Characters Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Troll Play features mechanism for hitting the troll, who is defending a chest, in which there's the potion riddle - an ancient scroll; potions table with mechanism to reveal the hiding place of the correct potion; reclining green and blue flames to block entry and exit from the room (in the book the flames are purple and black); cobwebs, which can be moved to find the correct potion and can be used as a secret exit from the room 4703_The Potion Riddle 01 by Brick Matit, su Flickr A careful observer who scrolled trhough the list of the first Harry Potter sets, produced by LEGO back in 2001, could not help but notice a curious fact in the serial numbers sequence: the suspicious absence of a number . In fact, the first two sets, 4701_Sorting Hat and 4702_The Final Challenge are followed by number 4704_The Chamber of the Winged Keys. There is no trace of the number 4703. For this reason, recently, while reorganizing and enriching my LEGO Harry Potter collection, I decided to go in search of the lost set... in other words, I decided to invent a set that could well complete the series . The scene is taken directly from the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: The Potion Riddle. This was one of the obstacles placed to protect the Philosopher's Stone, right before the room where the Mirror of Erised was located, in which the Stone was hidden. To this scene I added a minor one with an obstacle that, even in the book, is only mentioned: a large mountain troll that Professor Quirrell has already knocked out. When creating this set I constantly referenced the original sets, trying to use parts available at the time (I admit, in retrospect, considering it's been a while since I designed the set, that I don't remember how faithful I remained in this regard). The structure is taken from that of the original sets, so as to be able to integrate it into the Hogwarts model that LEGO proposed. The characters selected are the same as the original 2001 sets, to which I added the troll who is from 2002. I tried to fill the set with as many play features as possible as happened in the original sets, remaining faithful to the story of the books as much as possible, but without disdaining fantasy elements.

Of course, LEGO sometimes makes stupid things , but a brickbuilt motorbike model would have a brickbuilt Hagrid model on it. Not that I expect it and, by the way, I absolutely don't want it Better for it and for me it being a playset .

Are those all playset? Cause for a moment I had the idea that Flying Motorbike could also be a brickbuilt "creature". Well, after Harry & Hermione big figure, Dobby and the Sorting Hat I wouldn't be too much surprise

Thanks for the suggestion! I already bought the set - and, by the way, also the Great Hall with a good discount and Potions Classroom; I'm waiting to have some spare time to build it.

My first Harry Potter set, it was Christmas 2001, was Hagrid's Hut. After more than 20 years and other three huts (PoA 2003 - the only one I haven't -, 2010, PoA 2019), LEGO managed to give me the same feelings of those old days. The 76429 set, Hagrid's Hut: An Unexpected Visit, that yesterday I had time to build with my brother, gifted me with the same vibes of 2001: entering, with Harry, Ron and Hermione, in a tiny, confy, friend's home. Near the fireplace crackling flames kids, and adult too, can experience and recreate the Norbert PS scene or talk about strange Hogwarts happenings, discussing about lessons, quidditch, Snape and Malfoy, or preparing new adventures. The set, in my opinion, perfectly captures the PS and CoS Hagrid's hut from the movies. A completely closed hut, with removable roof and openable rear, easily playable. The sidebuild, nothing special, is a nice add. Norbert, Fang and character variants well complete the location and the scene depicted. Some minor personal issues: I'm not sure about Fang reddish brown colour and I think a random animal, like a spider or a rat, could have been there. For now, I built 2 of the 2024 sets - Owlery and Hugrid's Hut - and I find them really well done.

This is something that leaves me a little meh. I mean, luckily enough I have no money problem, more space problem , but I was a kid in 2000s and remember how much I would liked to have the Harry Potter Castle set, but unfortunately couldn't. Now we have that the Great Hall, a truly iconic location, passed from €100 in 2018, €140 in 2021, €200 in 2024. Yes, it has more and more pieces and locations, but this made the sets less and less affordable. Now assuming that the future castle expansions will be at least as pricey as the Great Hall, we'll have an upwards shifting of the main set of the year price. It's not something that excites me.

Thanks!

I would find really strange considering Errol as a minifigures By the way, on another polish site, www.klockinews.pl, the text in there is a bit different. This is the Google translation: We have to wait some other leakers to point us in the right direction, I suppose...

I was always in doubt about that being Ginny... feeling it to have strange proportion, but well probably it's her. Yeah, I know... but as you've said there decent odds of getting the entire Weasley family. And, by the way, I would find totally illogic to not have all of them.

For what I remember, in the survey leaked burrow there were at least 8 red-haired minifigures (I don't remember Ginny) plus Hermione. Weasley family has 9 members and it would be logic to have all of them in a collector set. So I would say Weasleys plus Hermione and the GWP with Harry to recreate the Floo Powder scene from CoS.

About the Burrow... I think it would be nice if the set came with a pair of new mold gnomes... they were an infestanting presence in first Harry Potte videogames (infestating both Hogwarts rooms and corridors and Weasley garden)

I don't know how much we can read in LEGO sets as hints for future sets (we had a Leaky Cauldron sign in 2021, but no LC untill now )... in any case, I think Flourish & Blott's (with Lockhart remake) and Quality Quidditch Supplies could be a logical guess.

I don't see LEGO producing a future set with an incomplete dungeon. Instead I believe they will produce a new section of the castle (example Grand Staircase Tower plus Quad entrance) with removable dungeon sections like under the Great Hall.
