With this talk about weither or not the castle will expand. When might we expect set information of a further additions to the castle in the January wave? Early September?

Is there not a small stall in the thin tower? Looks like there is a dark green door there in the pictures

Speaking of Mrs Norris and Filch, apparently a new cat colour and print just dropped with very similar features or looks to Mrs Norris. (Source: brick_guy42, instagram)

A small glimpse of the East Wing and, I think, 76478. Which seems to be Dumbledore's Office Source: https://www.public.gr/product/kids-and-toys/lego/harry-potter/lego-knockturn-alley-wizarding-shops-76471/2121950

What is the consensus on set 76478? Will it actually be a released set this summer? What will it be?

I had really expected a stone bridge, linking the viaduct entrance with the main tower set. Just to give the whole build together a bit more cohesion and stability together.

If I may ask, what is the “usual place” ? I’m curious about this claimed prototype

I think you are making a good point. the short flat side of the Hospital Wing with its triangular side of the roof would continue on the Gryfindor overhang. And at that position both underground sections would be accessible. Though I do wonder how they would connect the “terrace” part of the Hospital Wing. It opens up towards the front, where the stone bridge will most likely eventually connect to the side of the Viaduct Entrance.

That looks absolutely amazing!
