The movie already screwed up Grawp with rushed CGI (the animators themselves were pretty unhappy about it as I recall from the behind the scenes), so in some ways it's possible LEGO can't do any worse than that. Well, Order of the Phoenix's CG is a little patchy, I always thought the Thestral's in the films looked subpar in comparison to the more blended practical and CG effects of Buckbeak. Plus it was rushed as Dumbledore vs Voldemort at the Ministery had to look amazing first. I think the films could've left Grawp out all together really.

I agree, especially considering they didn't use him after OotP. Either use him in all movies after his introduction (Dumbledore's funeral, Battle of Hogwarts etc.) or don't use him at all

The most important (only important really) characters are Greyback, Bellatrix, Harry, Ginny, Molly, Arthur, Remus and Tonks so that's already a full lineup for a 100$ set. And if you want a robed Ron just make one like @deskp said. If there is one thing we don't need more of in this theme it's Gryffindor robes I'm certain we will get another Ron in the burrow. Every year we have had an equal number of Ron and Hermione figures. This is how we ended up with the rather pointless figure of Hermionie in the advent calendar (especially pointless now that we're getting a third different griffindor wearing robes and scarf print).

I'm certain we won't, that would be a stupid and illogical inclusion. Right now I think you're kinda looking for patterns that don't even exist. But we'll see And Hermione in the AC wasn't pointless imo

Well I don't think that was pointless :( it was the best way to include a Christmas Hermione. This scene talks by itself
Legoniche Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 19 minutes ago, Zedro said: The figures look amazing, at first the hermione looked the same included in the set Hogwarts express but is diferent. I don't worry about the lack of print on the slughorn's legs, but for some reason I was hoping it would appear with the characteristic hat despite not wearing it in the scene (it would be unlikely that the lego would do that) Umbridge is the best figure achieved, although this is a figure to include in the Forbidden Forrest set, it would not be surprised that the AT set had a small space saved for the umbridge office, I think there is no rumor about it. I would love for her to have an office in the astronomy tower, it would give me a place to put my bricktober variant. It’s the same issue I have with trelawny, I have nowhere to put Her, I hope at some point there’s a diviniations classroom in one hogwarts set installment. Luckily there’s a greenhouse for professor sprout. However the chances of there not being an umbridge office is baiscakky 100%- we would have hear about it if there was.
Icebrick Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 I can't believe that we've gotten four new leaks today. Hopefully that does mean that the sets will be revealed soon. The figures themselves are rather interesting: Harry potter looks great in the updated slughorn party outfit. Differently looks better than the 2011 one which was pretty good in my opinion. The hair choice they used for him isn't that surprising and makes sense. Hermionie looks alright. I love her sweater. The plain black legs is understandable since she is wearing black pants in the scene. Still not crazy about the face or hair however it is growing on me. Umbridge looks fantastic. Like many I didn't expect such detail. The new face print is great and reflects her look of horror at seeing Grawp, and being carried away by the centaurs, quite well. Also I don't know if this has been said but her smiling expression looks to be different from the one in the bricktober pack as well. I love the darker shade of pink and the fact that she has the printed heels. While I understand the preference of her 2007 hair piece this one has more texture and still works really well even though it doesn't have her signature curl. Slughorn also looks goods but the lack of excitement is understandable. Not having they lighter grey hair printed on the side is a downgrade. It also doesn't help that this outfit is so similar to the other one that we've gotten for him which is more of the fault on the in universe design then Lego's. I honestly think that having unpainted brown legs was the be best way to go. After all, he is wearing brown pants in that scene. I don't printing the robes would have turned out that well considering the problems that LEGO has been recently having with the printing. As to the hair I feel like the doctor who hair piece would look better As to the reused facial expressions, it makes sense. Neither Harry or Hermionie change that much , in regards to their facial features, between movies 3-6 although new expressions would have been nice. As to Slughorn, most of his time in HBP is spent with him either smiling or frowning with a look of concern on his face. The only scenes that I can recall him having a broader range of expression are the scenes with the tampered memory and in the night of Arago's burial. 5 hours ago, Guyon2002 said: Yeah it doesn't really matter how they do it because he will always look sort of inaccurate, Grawp is a very difficult character to capture in LEGO form. He'll most likely have a printed face but the rest will be stickers just like Ares and Ant-Man Has it been confirmed that Grawp will be built in that style. He would be too square but more importantly would be way to big.

Jarreth2 Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Wonder why Lego decided to replace the original Umbridge hair ? I just tried the older hair on the Bricktober figure and it looks so much better : (

Pulp Detective Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Do we know if there's any tree builds in the Forbidden Forest set?
Brickity Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Harry wears the exact same jacket from the CMFs in the Grawp scene, what should we expect? An unzipped version of it?

As i've talked about before here, its not the EXACT same one. the cmf one is from HBP with specific details from that film. on the torso print. However yea, its so very similar it will be real odd if lego makes a different print to be the proper ootp jacket. Maybe they will reuse the fig form the room of requirement set. Unless its another cmf series 1 Malfoy situation......

An unzipped version of it? If it wasn't for the CMF, I'd expect them to just use the existing print of a light-bluish grey jacket over a red tee. I'd honestly prefer that over getting the CMF torso in a $30 set, but the latter is the more likely option.

Unless its another cmf series 1 Malfoy situation...... I always thought the HBP version just had the colors inverted (red jacket, grey shirt), that’s why I pretty much skipped that conversation hah. In that case, we certainly can expect a different print (although very similar) They just did it with Hermione and her striped hoodie, I always thought they would reuse her Hogwarts Express version.

I just wish the piece had some printing like the Filch piece. I remember in 2018 someone said Slughorn looked more like the one from the flashbacks, which is kinda true. Especially with the unprinted hair in the AT.

Any idea why this happens? Isn’t it One expensive mold that goes into an expensive machine, not a whole new machine? 1. I don’t know, but many of the CMF’s printing looks cheaper in quality, I imagine the bricktober pack was made where the CMFs are usually made. By cheaper I don’t mean awful, but the prints are smudgier/thicker as opposed to set quality, where prints come out much finer (this is NOT in every case though) 2. As far as I know (I could be dead wrong, so take it with a grain of salt) a new mold means setting up another line of production (machine), which is super expensive, in case they don’t replace another mold. I will look this up, as I’m pretty much ignorant of this process.
