When I initially suggested it looked microscale you disagreed and said it looked system/minifig scale. Personally I’d love them to release Diagon Alley as separate highly detailed modular buildings that they release each year. But I can’t see it happening. Whatever the outcome, I think the strategic placement of it in the Hogwarts designer video has had the desired effect; the online discussions would be invaluable market research for TLG. 

It could happen, kind of like the way they've done two different parts of Ninjago city

If you watch the video in action, looking at the distance between that model and the Whomping Willow Set that can be seen in the foreground, it certainly looks smaller than minifig scale. The windows at weasleys could easily be 1x2x2. And as I said before, it looks like the top hat is just a minifig top hat, and one of the 4x4 or 6x6 domes is on top of Gringots, both are far too small for a minifig scale set

Just rewatched the video looking out for the Willow and you might be right. Now you have cast uncertainty in my belief of Diagon coming out soon. Unless this is a hint and they are hiding the actual model.

Yup, that top hat is just a minifigure's top hat piece. The orange windows looks like headlight bricks to me. I can also see the studs at the top of the purple building, I think, and the windows seem to be 1 stud wide.

It's definitely Diagon Alley back there, and it seems to be very tiny. Mabe it's just something the designers built for fun? Or it could be a prototype? But why release a Diagon alley that small?

Yeah, it’s possible. Just not likely imho. I think it’s more likely they would release a complete updated (& probably higher piece count) version of the original, which is such a great set. Having said that, I would never have imagined The LEGO Ninjago Movie spawning two huge modulars!

I ordered my Hogwarts last Wednesday morning and it is STILL showing as in warehouse. Has anyone else had any issues?

[AusMinifig]

As much as I love the new Hogwarts D2C set, i would be disappointed if the diagon alley set was non minifig scale. Like people have said in the video the it does kinda look like on the smaller scale side  The first release of diagon alley was so fantastic and based on what we have seen so far of all the current new sets I’m hoping they release a new diagon alley set with the amazing detailed interiors and new buildings which weren’t previously released. Wishful thinking would love a modular version.. How LEGO love to tease us, unfortunately time will tell and now it’s another waiting game...

It's funny, I emailed them at 6:45 PM and I got my email dispatch at 7:09PM. Have you still not got yours??

There's no way the Top hat is minifig scale it's almost as big as the wizards hat in the foreground, And the top, right most element appears to be a 1x1 cylinder atop 2 or 3 2x2 round bricks.

I hate to break it to all you system scale lovers- the diagon alley leak is 100% a d2c microsale set. I was right about Hogwarts d2c having a ton of interiors and I’m right about this. Every hp d2c will be in micro scale. 

Too much of a risk to sell each individual shop in system scale, especially considering you still have the hogsmade shops. It won’t happen. Don’t worry though- they will give you one or two shops in the regular scale- it just won’t be all of them together like the d2c leak^

i’m very excited to situate this next to my d2c Hogwarts.

There is 0% evidence for that atm

Agreed. Hogwarts in microscale makes sense. Diagon Alley in micro scale would never make sense at any level.

Sorry if I missed it- do we know how many bricks will be in the micro Hogwarts? I’m assuming it’ll be much Taller than then Helicarrier, and bigger since it could potentially be over a $100 more.

I’m predicting the Gryffindor tower to be the biggest section and tallest- the great hall attached to that, the clock tower, bridge, and one other building with potential greenhouses connected. I think it will all sit on a rock mountain- and I bet we’ll be able to remove part of the mountain and see dungeon interior/ potions class/ Slytherin Common room and potentially chamber of secrets.

Will probably be able to see inside Gryffindor common room/ great hall. And a transfiguration classroom. 

I think we will get a lot more interior because of how many secondary character nano figures leaked. 

My dream would be to have all 4 common rooms, and I’m hopeful because of how many student nano figures we got from each house. But probably unlikely.

I see I’ve triggered you all forgive me lol the fear mongering comment made me laugh. But unfortunately for you I am right about the D2c micro scale diagonal alley.

I dug up my old prediction about the d2c Hogwarts back in June for proof^

reading the comments back then most of you were saying the rumors about a micro scale Hogwarts were ridiculous and impossible. And multiple people told me the Hogwarts wouldn’t have any interior.

This guy. You guessed one thing right and now you think you know everything. We don't even know if this set is going to be sold or not regardless of scale. The illusion of foreground makes it uncertain if it's micro or system. I honestly can't tell because I switched from micro to system to micro. This could be a MOC for all we know and lego is screwing with us. Microscale Hogwarts (though I'm not a fan) makes sense cause it could capture a good portion of it. You can easily capture the important parts of Diagon Alley with one System Scale set. I personally believe a system scale Diagon is coming soon from speculative evidence but there is definetly evidence against as well. Have your opinion but nothing is truly known. Clouded the future is.

Unless you have inside information that nobody else does, a micro scale Diagon Alley just wouldn’t make sense. Microscale Hogwarts makes sense because of the sheer size of the castle but Diagon Alley in microscale would be a big mistake on the part of Lego. And unless your information comes from a reliable source, no one will believe you. A lot of your predictions about Hogwarts were wrong anyway

So you guessed right once and now you declare yourself a soothsayer?  

Don't say things are 100% without anything other than your own predictions to back it up, that's just spreading false rumours IMO.

In the designer video talking about the random first set he ever bought (with the diagon alley micro in background) he says 

’lucky coincidence, and I’m sure fans will enjoy even further Easter eggs that we’ve hidden’ 

he literally says THAT^ directly after we see a glimpse of the d2c diagonal alley. It’s happening.

You guessing a Hogwarts would have interior is no way a validation on any upcoming set though...

You’re simply making assumptions, as everyone else does.

Again it's all speculation. Maybe it's a coincidence. Unless he said straight up Diagon Alley is happening, it's not confirmed. Maybe it was a nice background piece. Who knows. I think it will happen in system scale thanks to the Ollivander figure, but we will see. Right now its firmly a rumor and while we all have opinions, no one is for certain. Turn down the ego notch a little. Thanks.

None of us know if that is the actual set, or that it is going to be a D2C set. It is probably a hint that we will get some parts of Diagon Alley in a set, but we didn't really need a hint for that did we? It is after all one of the more interesting locations, and it's well suited to both a regular set or a D2C. From something like the 79109 Colby City Showdown to something like the previous Diagon Alley set. Naturally I'm hoping for the latter since that is one of my favourite HP sets.

They would never show the final design for a future set in a designer video. It was a hint of what’s to come if anything. That’s all. I agree that his Easter egg reference was dedicated to the build in the background as well as things in the Hogwarts Castle set. But it would not have been a final product, they can’t show that yet. It looked more like a MOC than anything, but I do think it’s a hint. That’s all.

Comparing the leaked MOC of the d2c diagon alley to the actual diagonal alley on the studio set, they are nearly identical-

heres the image I’m referring too of the studio tour- you’ll see gringotts  the far left, ollivianders, 3 mini shops, and weasleys joke shop at the end. It follows that exact same pattern of the leak.
