  1. I just finished the Harry and Hermione buildable figures. They look really cute but that was a surprisingly complicated build - I had to re-do both of their hairstyles several times because I'd missed pieces out. Also, I wondered, has anyone bought the Five-Minute Builds book? Is it worth it and does it have any good ideas?
  2. I'm so excited for Lego Harry Potter Dots! Is anyone else?

  5. Wow, impressive work and glorious pictures!
  6. I think that now my most wanted figures are new or updated versions of existing character (although I do really want Lee Jordan, Bill and Xenophilius). I really want a new Hagrid without his overcoat, the winter trio (I've seen hats in Friends and City sets that would be perfect for Ron and Hermione), wedding variants, DH Pt.II Ron, prologue Hermione, Ron and their children. Seeing what they did for Victor, I also really want an improved Mrs. Weasley (I saw a 2023 Friends hair that looked like it would work great for her) and a printed-black dress Bellatrix. Oh, and of course Narcissa! And a OOtP-style Death Eater (lots of them)! And Dobby in his shoes! Just give me all the figs! I think we should add Alicia Spinnet and Katie Bell to the minifgures we still need, too - even without Katie's expanded role in HBP, it would be fantastic to get the full (dream) team and remember Lego gave us (and named!) Lucian Bole and Marcus Flint. I am also desperate for a Fang, and also a pygmy puff and a better representation of Crookshanks, too. I think my most wanted set is a tent from DH -- but who knows if that will ever appear. It's so exciting to think that this years sets could literally be from any one of the films -- the June 2022 and March 2023 waves have really set an exciting precedent! I'm currently re-reading the books and I love thinking about all the things Lego could cover next. I must admit that I share your sentiment, but these films are so hugely popular and profitable so there's clearly an audience for them! I really like Spider-Man and Batman (mainly in their video game and comic book forms) but the Marvel multiverse does nothing for me. But with Lego, there's room for everyone!
  7. I just finished building the new Hogwarts Express that I got for Christmas -- what a stunning piece! The minifigures are fantastic (but of course I need adult Ron and Hermione, too). The build was enjoyable and I'm more impressed with the set than I was expecting to be. The new March sets look incredible. I'm surprised that people aren't more favourable to the Banners sets: doesn't this set a precedent for more book-only content? The Ravenclaw Common Room is obviously based on the description from the seventh book, but the Hufflepuff Common Room looks to be based on a piece of original writing Rowling wrote for Pottermore (even down to the round windows). I also love that we get a nod to the entrance to the kitchens, there. I wonder if the release of Hogwarts Legacy, which includes all four Common Rooms, might have made it easier for WB to allow Lego to release these sets? [Side note: I'm counting down the days for HL, I even bought a PS5 for it... Anyone else?] I'm perched to see what else is in store for 2023: really hoping for some more Deathly Hallows set and at least one Philosopher's Stone set (sorry, but it's my favourite movie - perhaps one of the final challenges, the troll or [best of all] a new Hagrid's Hut). I am also team CMF Series 3: please make it happen, Lego! It's interesting that some YouTubers are claiming there might be two D2Cs; JediJACPenguin seems to hint at Gringotts and a large Knight Bus. I need Gringotts! Nothing will ever beat the excitement of the reveal of the 2022 summer sets for me: I was sitting in the cinema with my cousin waiting for Secrets of Dumbledore to begin (which I ADORED), and the never-before-seen Dumbledore's Office was advertised on the big screen! I quickly checked Instagram and realised it had been revealed that day to tie into the UK's release of the movie. And then when I got home, I saw that the whole wave was revealed! I'm still sad that there wasn't any new FB sets -- I'm still holding out hope, and I refuse to believe this is the end of the moves; I love the stories and the characters dearly and I need to see how it ends, in some form or another!
