Thanks for the info :-) I don't used to buy from Lego but last year I missed the Room of Requirememts because I bought all the set I wanted already I don't want to plan my shopping and then miss a GWP like last year :-( So, I think I'm gonna buy Main Tower and Hospital Wing in another place when I get a good price and wait for the East Wing until September to see if Lego gifts something I like. I would love a class or an office form a proffesor so... maybe we are lucky :-)

Hi everybody :-) Here we are saving for our two missing sets (Main Tower and Hospital Wing) and of course the summer wave, and I would like to know when you think it's the best moment to buy whatever set. I know in September it's the Back to Hogwarts and you get a polybag and a GWP set if you buy a big set, but I've read there's also a third gift for the purchase of the collector set or something like that, and I'm not sure if this set is one of the sets we already know or it's a different set with no leaks yet. If there will be another +200€ set in September I can jump and cry at the same time :-D On the other side, is there any double points or gift with the summer wave? Do you think the Main Tower can get a disccount or something this year? Thanks :-)

If it has better trees and a higher price there is no reason not to include Sirius. I mean, there is no reason at all not to include him, but if it's a bigger and more expensive set is worse. Even Magical creatures includes Harry, Ron and two animals. The set won't be the most detailed one without the character that is the reason of the scene....

and Sirius, right? right! :-O We need Sirius. Just check. The Forbidden Forest set with Aragog was 195 pieces and the Magical Creatures one, 172, so 244 pieces has to have something else than two trees...

I don't think Slytherin's could look better without walls...

I think the Hufflepuff room is a little bit poor looking. The roof and the walls in the Ravenclaw's give it a complete and nice appereance. It looks more important, or something. It would be sad to have an Slythering room like Huffelpuff but green, I think. And, yes, it would be strange no having the Chamber in this set. I meant that if this set were the last one. If there are more sets as you think then they can give us more scenes from other movies, but if not, we will only have mostly these two first movies represented.

I wish...

My daughter is hoping that too... She really wants the dragon :-) Then... The only set in this wave for the most detailed Castle will be the East Wing, and the whole thing will only represent the two first movies, except for Lupin's classroom and the characters from the owlery and hospital wing (not really an scene, I think). I have no problem if we get also Divination class and the Library and ideally any other room switchable. I would prefer the Slytherin common room won't be switchable, I like how the Ravenclaw looks like. In that case, the sets will be: The Great Hall (HP1 scenes rooms) / Boathouse. / Owlery / Potions Class. / Charms Class. / Herbology Class. / Dueling Club. / Sorting Hat Ceremony. / Flying Lessons. / The Main Tower (HP1 scenes rooms) / Hospital Wing (HP3 scene rooms). / East Wing (HP2 scenes rooms??)

Question: Do you think we could get more classes for the Castle even if the East Wing is the last big set? I have seen that the Great Hall and the Main Tower will last 2 years each, so the East Wing will be on shelves until summer 2028. Maybe we could still get some classes or rooms for it, right? We love the Castle but we wish more play sets like the scenes and classes. On the other side, I think everything but the Herbology class and the Hospital scene are all from the first book/movie, so something relate to others would be great too.

I like it :-) But I don't like that it looks like the last one set in the silhouette.... Maybe the East Wing doesn't include the bridge and it will come with the Courtyard set? No idea if there is a courtyard with plants near any bridge :-D but I hope that set is for the Castle

This will be perfect!! I don't like the classes under the Great Hall and the Kitchen with Dobby could look great.... But then I will need somewhere to put the Potion Class, ideally near to Snape potions pantry and Slytherin common room (that won't be accurate but it's how I would like them). I think I may need a building with empty rooms... but that is not gonna happen. It would be wierd to sell and empty building :-D I could buy the whole East Wing for a good library :-)

Is the Library in the East Wing? I would love the Lobrary with Harry in a transparent body (only a visible head) :-D I don't know if there is any tranparent body but it would be great for an invisible cloak, right?

I have taken a look to the Astronomy tower from 2020 and I don't like it too much, really :-D I want something more like the Owlery but a little bit bigger. The previous set has the are of the dinner and that make it too... something I don't like. I prefered a Main Tower without the Main part :-D

Oh, We don't have those books in Spain.... but there's no problem, my daughter has decided the Ravenclaw girl is Luna no matter what, so everybody happy :-D The problem with the GWP RoR is that I don't like it :-O I mean, I love the idea of a room plenty of things, and I really prefer one with Draco and Harry or Harry and Ginny full of random objets than the Order of the phoenix scene, but the Dumbledore Army has patronus so I think I can have lucky this year :-) On the other side, I don't care a lot about the Astronomy area but I really one a new tower, because the Main Tower is so big, I would like something with small romms (like Charms Class) in each level... four level would be great. But what we really want is more classes and characters.

Happy new year everybody!! After a loooot of months waiting, we have finally opened our Howgarts sets on Christmas morning... The problem with keeping the haul for so many month is that you forgot how many sets (and money) you have... 11 sets!! :-O It was so fun building them, and they look gorgeous. We got the Great Hall, the Boathouse, Potions and Charms, the Dueling club, the Greenhouse, the Owlery, Hagrid's hut and two Fords (one for each kid) And because here in Spain we have gifts also this morning (our Reyes Magos :-D) we got also two sidecars with Hagrid and Harry and the Sorting hat ceremony from the new wave. Of course, as soon as my kids built everything they started looking for new sets to add to the Castle :-D We obviosly missed the Main Tower because we have to eat too :-D but I have checked the retiring date and I think I can manage to get it for next Christmas (today is not to soon to start with Christmas wishes, right?) along with the new sets.... But my little one has fall in love with The Burrow (she doesn't understand we don't eat lego pieces...), so let me ask you if there is a good moment to buy it. I missed the Room of Requirements gift and I'm not sure if there will be any other set gifted before September. I guess the collectors sets don't lower their price... On the other side, any chance of getting this year a Howgart set with Luna minifig? I thought she was the minifig on the Hospital Wing but she is not, and she's my daughter favorite character. We hope for the Astronomy tower this year :-) and we really would like the Whomping Willow, any chance? I personally want a Sirius minifig and a set of the Room Requirements from the Dumbledore's Army...., but not sure if we can reach that book/movie if this is the last year of tha Castle, we hope is not. I can see sets for two more years :-D
