So far we don't have any other Castle sections that go on that side of the ravine for it to connect to. Herbology Greenhouse is on that side too but it's a stand-alone structure. Perhaps this summer we will finally have something to connect it to.

Now that we have the January product list, isn't it time to split this into a 2026 thread?

Probably a washroom with a toilet again.

You’re welcome! There are also a couple other tabs on the spreadsheet that show the different product lines for Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade over the years.

I've updated my spreadsheet of the interiors and exteriors that have been (or romoured be) released for the 2024-present Hogwarts and Grounds collection. This is what's leftover that could potential be released: Snape's Office DADA Classroom (Lupin’s, Lockhart's, Moody's) DADA Office (Lupin’s, Lockhart's, Moody's, Umbridge's) Slughorn's Office Divination Classroom Astronomy Tower/Classroom Library One-Eyed witch corridor Sirius' Prison Cell Girl’s Bathroom (Chamber Entrance) Prefect's Bathroom Chamber of Secrets Slytherin Common Room Slytherin Dorm Room Ravenclaw Common Room Ravenclaw Dorm Room Hufflepuff Dorm Room Clock Tower Viaduct Bridge Viaduct Entrance Entrance Gates Quiditch Pitch Womping Willow Tri-Wizard Tournament First Task Tri-Wizard Tournament Second Task

There's a designer video (@georgegilliatt) and a stop-motion video (@Lego) on Instagram showing how the set looks "closed up." Captures the village feel lot better that way than in a line.

The slide-out room system is actually the perfect excuse to release multiple versions of the same place, especially Room of Requirements which changes so often. Here's hoping they do a general release of a larger-scale version of the room tied around a more iconic moment (Order of the Phoenix Training, the Vanishing Cabinet).

76459 Hagrid & Harry’s Privet Drive Motorcycle - $20 Must just be a minifig version of last January's set. What was even the point of the buildable version? 76460 Hogwarts Castle: Sorting Hat - $15 This will probably be like 76441 Duling club and be a section that can be added to the Great Hall. Considering the Boathouse included Mcgonagall and her list and the Main Tower had the sorting hat, I'm not sure what else could be included with this set to complete that story moment. Perhaps an interactive sorting play feature like 4701's? 76463 Hogwarts Castle: Hospital Wing - $100 Lego sets have usually placed this room in the Clocktower, but the price is too small for that. If they are going for full accuracy for this Most-Detailed version of the castle, maybe this will be part of the back of the quad (marker 25) and the Clock Tower will connect to it via a bridge in another release. 76464 Cauldron: Secret Potions Class - $60 Sounds like a gimmicky buildable cauldron like the Hogwarts Moments 76466 TBD Philosopher’s Stone set - $170 What could this? I'm imagining a diorama or Hogwarts Icons sculptural piece. Either way, it's time to move on from the first movie! 76467 Luna Lovegood’s House - $90 Nice to see this location. It was overdo for representation. Plus, unlike say Shell Cottage, there's an action scene that could be played out. What would the play scene for Shell Cottage be? Burying Dobby in the backyard? 76470 Flying Ford Anglia - $80 Just a buildable car model. Nothing very magical about it on its own. Yawn. 76461 Cornis Pixie - 30$ I'm betting this will look like the new little Hedwig and Faux buildable figures.

The 45 Degree angle from the Great Hall is accurate. What's probably throwing things off is the lack of the connecting passage between the Great Hall's Entrance and the Tower. So now the figures go from inside the Great Hall, to outside the balcony around the tower.

What if they left one of the dungeon spots empty, so Potions Class has its own designated home? Unlikely, but I bet a lot people would be happy about that.

Just because there are two cases of the Harry Potter product line resetting after three years doesn't mean it's a rule or even a pattern. The 2018 wave was interrupted for the 20th Anniversary modular collection. That wave ended when it had reached the limit of how well it could be combined into something resembling the basic Castle silhouette. There was no point in continuing it further once Lego saw that the brand was evergreen enough to finally do their concept of a complete and detailed playscale Hogwarts (a concept that actually pre-dates the 2018 wave which was only made connectable as an afterthought). I've posted before about those original "Complete Hogwarts" plans, but can find the quote again if anyone is interested.

The image didn't include The Flying Lesson set so there's a good chance that it's just the bare minimum of what we'll see released and that we'll likely be getting at least the Clock Tower and Astronomy Tower as well.

The design for QQS looks like how it appears in Half-Blood Prince film, which is the standing set at the Warner Bros Studio Tour in london.

Yup, I'm sure that the piece in front of Percy will be removable and provide access to the Stone Bridge that will be placed up against it with a future expansion. [Edit: Photo Removed] You can see the bridge connected in the preview/prototype image. It was also in the 2018 mode

For this reason (and the previously mentioned fact that there are a lack of OoTP castle sections to showcase) I would bet we'll see Room of Requirements released as the Dumbledore's Army training room, like the 2020 set.
