I guess anything is better than nothing, I just hope they concentrate just on the castle. Possibly a quiddith area as well, but that's it. I'm sure it will have elements from all 7/8 movies. Quote
GryffindorResistance Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Lets be a little realistic with the minifig lists; If we are in fact getting a Great Hall and Hogwarts, those will probably include the main set of students, professors, and others (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Hagrid, McGonnagall, Voldemort, Malfoy, Snape, Ginny, Luna, Sirius, Lupin, Neville, Bellatrix, etc.) The minifig line would probably include the characters that would be hard to place in those settings, something like this: - Harry variant - Ron variant - Hermione variant - Fred - George - Molly - Arthur - Umbridge - Quirrell - Slughorn - DADA professor - Professor - Professor - Death Eater - Griphook or Dobby - Triwizard Champion - Tonks - Kingsley Quote

Ultron Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 They’ve got to give us ravenclaw and hufflepuff torsos this time around, right? ...Right? Either way I’m hyped for Hogwarts. I’ll scream if it’s microfig scale though. That’s unacceptable. Nice to finally get a licensed theme that is location focused and not vehicle focused like marvel, dc, and star wars tend to be. I always liked that about the harry potter theme Quote
Ninjaboss Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Is it just me or would anyone like a UCS hogsmeade set (kinda like the temple of airjitzu) and all the Hogwarts sets to be separate but connectable/modular Not sure if this would include FB tho Quote

So many possibilities! Quote

So many possibilities! There are so many sets that came out in the first couple of waves that I would love to see remade. There are also so many locations we should have got but never did. I truly believe this line could stick around permanently with two waves a year as there is so much material to go from. I think a D2C Knight bus would be awesome. Quote
Seaber Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Is Nuremburg the first time we can expect to see anything from this theme? Quote

kirkwoodproductions Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 If the Great Hall set is based just on HP I'd guess it would contain: Harry & Hermione in G uniforms, Malloy in S uniform, Luna in R uniform, Cedric in H uniform, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape maybe if we're lucky it could also have Flitwick & Sprout Quote

Brick Wizard001 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Honestly it’s been so many years since the last sets so I’d rather they’d completely redo everything. Everything could do with an upgrade. Also with the d2c set they better be making a complete Hogwarts set. Lego has evolved enough to be able to pull it off withput being incomplete. Quote

There's a small problem with that. Let me list off all the different parts of Hogwarts that they'd have to include to make a 'complete' Hogwarts, even if you exclude the Quidditch Pitches and Hagrid's Hut: The Great Hall Gryffindor Common Room Slytherin Common Room Ravenclaw Common Room (Hufflepuff Common Room? It never actually appeared in the books or movies so . .) Potions Classroom Transfiguration Classroom Charms Classroom Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom (complete with office that can be customised depending on whether Lupin or Umbridfe is in residence) Outdoor Grounds Divination Tower Astrology Tower (where Snape killed Dumbledore) Herbology Greenhouses The Third-Floor Corridor on the East Wing (complete with Fluffy) All the rooms of challenges between Fluffy and the Philosopher's Stone The Chamber of Secrets The Room of Requirement (which can be changed out to match the DA HQ, the Hiding Place, or Dumbledore's room of chamberpots) Dumbledore's Office Slughorn's Office The courtyard where Umbridge fired Trelawney and was humiliated by Fred and George The massive bridge between Hogwarts and the open grounds where Hagrid's hut is (as seen in the movies) At least three secret passages out of Hogwarts, including the one-eyed statue one. (Don't remember the statue name, sorry.) Hospital Wing Kitchen of the House-Elves Filch's Office Girls' Bathrooms Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom Library Prefects' Bathroom Clock Tower (though this could probably be merged with the Astronomy Tower) Quad Battlement Catwalks Potions Supply Cupboard (complete with enough Boomslang skin for both Hermione and Barty Crouch Jr.) And I'm sure there's stuff I've forgotten. Plus this isn't even counting stuff like Hagrid's Hut, the Whomping Willow, and Aragog's lair. Do you see the problem? If LEGO tried to cram ALL of that into a single minifigure-scale set, even a D2C, then they'd probably blow the 2017 Mega-Falcon out of the water as the biggest Lego set ever. There will never be a single official set that comprises all of the elements of Hogwarts together - Hogwarts is simply too big. That's why the modular approach of having elements of Hogwarts in separate sets that can be combined together works so well; it lets people get the parts that they want without having to shell out for everything else, and still enables diehard collectors with cash to burn to get everything and create a 'complete' Hogwarts. Edited January 3, 2018 by Feng-huang0296 Great thanks to Huigberts Builds for adding stuff to the list! Quote

Hospital Wing, kitchen underneath the great hall, boathouse, filch's office, grand staircase, Girls' Lavatory, Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom, library, Prefects' bathroom, clock tower, catwalks by the quad battlements. And we're probably not even halfway there. Quote
Fenghuang0296 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Ooh, yes, I'll add all those to the list. :) Plus the Potions supplies cupboard where everyone steals their Boomslang skin. Quote
OneWithTheForce Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Honestly I don't think they'll be able to include everything unless they did two big UCS sets. For sure we'll get: Great Hall Staircase Tower Dumbledore's office Astronomy Tower Viaduct Bridge Clocktower Greenhouses All Common Rooms DADA Classroom Potions Classroom Divination Classroom Myrtle's Bathroom Anything else is anyone's guess but I'd wager those are the most central and important parts to put in this set I think we'll likely get all the Head of Houses, as well as a student from every house at the least, I can't see them jamming a bunch of characters in like with the Death Star because the pricing will likely go towards the set itself rather than the figs. Edited January 3, 2018 by OneWithTheForce Quote
Roebuck Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I think we will get more or less the same parts of Hogwarts as the previous versions had only made better, with maybe a addition or two.. 1-2 common rooms, 1-2 classrooms definitely not all of them.. Maybe it will be something like Kingdoms Joust 10223 or Horizon Express 10233 where one set is excellent, but two sets are needed to make it "complete"?! Quote

We are not going to get all of those sets and I definetly won’t expect it nor would I want it. I think th most famous parts of Hogwarts should be in the D2C set like: Great Hall, Dumbledore office, Gryffindor tower, DADA, potions, slytherin house and the clock tower. Something like this: All the other locations could be single builds. I think that would be the best solution. Quote
ETELENZOS92 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Speaking about the D2C of Hogwarts, what part do you think they will do? I choose (A) the part of the Staircase Tower, the Quad and the Clock Tower before (B) the part of the entrance of the Viaduct, since it would be a very linear set.

Whovastron Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 The great hall definitely won’t be in the D2C if it’s being a set on its own. i think they won’t do a specific section (like mentioned in the post above) but will just do recognisable buildings with modular connecting walls or something. Quote
jdubbs Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 1 hour ago, Whovastron said: The great hall definitely won’t be in the D2C if it’s being a set on its own. I wouldn't say "definitely". It's just as likely that they release a standalone Great Hall set that is smaller in scale than the version included in the D2C (esp. if the D2C version is really ~$500, putting it out of reach of many if not most buyers) or it could function as an add-on that combines with/comexpands the size of the Great Hall in the D2C. LEGO did something similar with the Star Wars UCS Assault on Hoth and a smaller Hoth set released concurrently. Quote
RealGeronimo11 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 We still don't know what the CoG one is so maybe it'll be another section of Hogwarts so we have the Great Hall, something else and then the rest of the castle as the D2C set Quote

That would be pretty cool, though I would hope that it would be configurable like the most recent Hogwarts. I think it was 2010 or 2011.

And it should be pretty big judging by the price tag We have prices for the sets from Mario.power56. They Are: Aragog - $14.99; Newt's Suitcase - $24.99; CoG set - $29.99; Ford Anglia Escape - $69.99; Great Hall $89.99 Edited January 3, 2018 by RealGeronimo11 Quote
Legocollinfreak Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 the castle should be like the universal studios Hogwarts. That way you get the silhouette of the castle. Quote
