Has anyone been able to incorporate the staircase gwp into the 2018-2020 style castle, or modify it to fit that style? I do really like the way it looks together, especially with the way the staircase moves, but it doesn’t really fit anywhere haha.

I’m really hoping the train is similar to the studio tour one; there’s a carriage based on each movie if I’m remember correctly, which would be amazing for the set and give us so many good details. It would be a lot of carriages, but might help justify the price…

Wow, I love the details in these, they’ve done amazingly! The locket, extendable ears, ministry memos, the screaming book, all incredible. I wasn’t particularly interested in Dumbledore’s office, since I’m happy enough with the 2018-2020 castle, and have only been getting the new castle sets that can be easily modded to fit into that, but I love the library and madam pince, and the new filch minifigure….they might have got me with that one.

I keep coming here, see that there’s a bunch of new pages or that it’s labelled as hot, and thinking that the list must have finally come out…alas

I’m really just interested in the DH minifigures; there’re so many that we’ve never gotten. Besides the different outfit variations for everyone, there’s Bill, Xenophillius, the snatchers, Aberforth, Yaxley etc. that have never been made before. If we’re at the point that Lego is making Hannah Abbott, Florian Fortesque, etc., surely we can get some of the DH characters that have actual lines?

I think it would be very similair to the current Diagon Alley; the 4 buildings would be the Leaky Cauldron, Borgin and Burkes, a random extra like madam malkins/potages cauldrons, and then Gringotts of course. With a Gringotts hopefully being a little larger, plus a couple extras like a dragon/the Leaky Cauldron brick wall, and including inflation, I think they could justify the price increase fairly easily.

Completely agree, 2020 was my favourite AC as well; I really didn't like how un-christmassy last year's was, and I don't have a place to put a lot of the builds now (at least until we get a proper Gringotts/Leaky Cauldron). A Hogsmeade theme would do a great job of extending the current sets (especially if they also release a Shrieking Shack this year) while also still being wintery.

Hi all, I've been lurking for over a year now, and thought I'd finally join in and post predictions before we get a reveal of the new sets! $19.99, 121 pieces-Either Draco's Buckbeak's encounter, or Siruis's escape with Buckbeak. Something with a large mold to justify the low piece count. $49.99, 345 pieces- Gryffindor common room, based on the scene in PoA with the Fat Lady's portrait. Includes Percy (in the movies, him pushing through he crowd shouting about how he's head boy is one of his last scenes with lines), some sort of play feature for the portrait to move, maybe Filch, since he hasn't been included in a while. $79.99, 654 pieces- Durmstrang Ship $99.99, 990 pieces- Probably some kind of display piece again, since they like to give us those. A buildable Firebolt maybe? A microscale maze from the 3rd task, similair size to the chess board from last year? Buildable marauders map? Etc. Advent Calendar-If they're sticking with PoA/GoF, hopefully it will be Hogsmeade- themed, but I feel like it's more likely to just be themed around the 2nd movie, similair to how last year was based on the first movie. $469.99 (D2C)- I'm on board the Gringotts/Leaky Cauldron/ Borgin and Burkes train, and I'm ready to be disappointed. $49.99,671 pieces- Niffler, probably the only Fantastic Beasts set $89.99, 777 pieces-Shrieking shack, with werewolf Lupin, the trio in their hospital wing outfits, Sirius and Peter $119.99- A long shot, but I think the 2nd task has to be included here somewhere, and I like @BrickFunatic's idea putting it with another piece of the castle. We haven't gotten a library yet, and that's the part of the castle we're in right before the task, so I'm hoping it will be that. Also includes a viewing platform (with a feature to launch Harry off of it), a small underwater bit with a mermaid, all the champions, Neville and some gillyweed, and some (but probably not all) of either Ron, Hermione, Cho, and Gabrielle to be rescued.
