Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion

And the hint doesn‘t necessarily refer to the quantity of minifigs, I could just as well indicate their quality

Molly seems to use the slope dress piece 

Good catch  If those really are the new Weasley parents (and not just customs they snuck into the picture), I wonder what hairpiece they used on what looks to be Molly. Doesn‘t look familiar, but maybe that‘s just the quality of the picture

The death star got 23 figures and cost 500USD
The D2C is more likey gonna have around 10-15. At least that´s my guess

I still think that’s unrealistic, even with the hint. I feel like 10-15 would be more realistic and still justify the clue

Maybe you guys are right- I don’t want to be too hopeful and be disappointed ? to be honest tho, I’m really getting this set for the set and not the figs, providing it’s not micro scale aha.

I’d atleast expect it to come with yr 1/2 Harry, yr 2 Hermione, yr 2 Ron, 2 goblins, hagrid, ollivander, Fred, George, Lockhart, Lucius, Draco yr 2, molly, Arthur, Ginny 

thats 15

But since we DO get Fred and George- they might pull a death star and add in yr 6 Harry, yr 6 Hermione, yr 6 Ron, yr 6 Ginny, yr 6 Draco, narcissa, bellatrix, fenrir, 

thats 23

add in a couple wizard/ witch shopkeepers and you have 25

but obviously that spiraled drastically and I’m being dramatically hopeful. The first 15 sound good

Apparently mini figure collectors will love the D2C, I’d consider 15 to be pretty average amount for a set of that price- do in order to satisfy the statement, I reckon, there’ll be 20 or 20+

Nah, that just means there will be some great figures.

Come to think of it. I just had a terrible thought for many people's wallets. What if the Weasley's aren't coming in a Burrow set at all, but rather in a d2c diagon alley. I mean if the Harry in that set is based on poa, as implied by King nono, then it would make sense if there would be other figures from those scenes as well. And the entire weasley family showed up at the leaky cauldron in that one. There's also the Fudge rumor, which would also fit the poa scenes. Although then the pig comment of kingnono wouldn't really make sense.

I swear this looks like a "Who can post the crappiest pic?" contest 

[Legoniche]

I reckon it’s real since I looked on BL just now and there isn’t a skirt piece in that nougat colour

Never mind, just saw the leak, these aren't the clothes they wore in that scene.

Yeah it's definitely new. This guy has been getting his hands on a lot of figures lately so I would say he's reliable.

Helga Hufflepuff has a printed version of it and an unprinted version was recently available as a BAM piece

I am less sceptical now as many reliable leakers follow him.

I agree, that does help in trusting him a little more

I wouldn't hope for specific characters/variants to appear because that will definetely lead to disappointment

There is. There is a printed version for Helga Hufflepuff and an unprinted version appeared in the BAM stations about a year ago

To be fair, the original picture is focused on Ron rather than his parents in the background and is not that blurry overall. The reposts however...

The original is just a ''classic Kingwong post'', a picture of existing things with something new hidden somewhere. If previous leaks coming from him are anything to go by we'll see the full figures in the coming days.

is that the old Hermione hair ooor?

 

Is Arthur wearing the scarf piece in a new color?

I'm about 90% sure it's the current Hermione hair

Also, it looks like Arthur has dualmolded arms

[kirkwoodproductions]

The back of Molly's dress already has me nervous. (I think) all minifigures with printed dress slope pieces from actual sets (not CMF) have had printing on both the front and back of the piece. The back doesn't have any printing - so it doesn't bode well for the front.

Yeah seems it's not printed.  Not the greatest loss but it is complete printing that makes most figures stand out as great.  Legs/skirt, torso and face all being unique ..

I can live without her skirt being printed.

 

[TurboTj-DK]

Who was the first to share the picture? I find it hard to trust. The hair looks like the old hermione hairpiece. the skirt has been in the BAM tower for ages. and her torso looks like the old. Arthurs torso looks a bit like "973pb0648c01" from prince of persia  but well the quality that the picture is in, it could be any thing

Old molly torso didnt have the nougat skirt printed on the back of her torso, she had the apron strap only.

His name is kingwong75 and he has posted pictures like this for a while with real upcoming figures and hasn’t posted a fake one yet. That’s the original poster

Yeah alright I see. Thank you! 

[Balrogofmorgoth]

Nice! Arthur and Molly will be great additions, it’s nice to see physical evidence 

[Tariq j]

Nice to see the new dress piece utilised here. Hopefully will have some printing on it.

According to Bricklink there are 16 different printed skirts, 15 of which appear in either a CMF or set (there is one printed skirt in BAM currently).

CMF 1 side: 5

CMF 2 sides: 0

Set 1 side: 2

Set 2 sides: 8

I'd say it doesn't look like Molly will have a print on the front of her skirt but it's not impossible.

[TurboTj-DK]

weren´t the D2C first to release in August? So the weasley parrents must be from a retail exclusive then, right? 

[Balrogofmorgoth]

Unfortunately it looks like Arthur uses the same inaccurate hair piece he used last time
