Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion

[Clone OPatra]

We've let this discussion meander quite a bit, and it's time to get it back on track.

So please, no more discussion of what's going on on Instagram (unless there are Harry Potter leaks, which are relevant and ok to discuss). No more discussion of other themes you'd rather buy or not buy.

This is the LEGO Harry Potter thread, for discussing LEGO Harry Potter.

Thanks

does one of the new ninjago sets have a green flame(plume) piece?'

Oh cool lots of them do. guess that means we get those in both dc2 and burrow.

It seems like, but which color is this? It is very hard to see...

Instagram is actually 13+, which is why all these accounts going around harassing people with foul language pisses me off so much. Plenty of legitimate leakers (or reposters) tag their stuff with more general lego hashtags as well as #legoleaks so it’s not unlikely that there are kids out there who follow the stuff getting posted there. The rampant bullying and name calling going on in there could encourage those kids to emulate that kind of behavior or just scare them out of the community all together and that’s just awful. 

LEGO leaks is a general LEGO hashtag if not a pretty general hashtag period. Many of us forget as we block accounts but if you visit the tag without anything blocked most of the time 90% of the stuff is just general LEGO, photography, custom minifigures, and collections. 5% is completely unrelated to LEGO and only that last 5% is anything actually leaks or related to leaks. This can change sometimes when there are lots of leaks from different themes (like right now) and when someone is intentionally trolling (how have there been multiple people over the last year who troll a tag for a hobby and think they are doing a great service to the world?)

Looks like trans bright green to me, but maybe I'm just projecting because it's my favorite of the three current shades of trans green

The possible d2c seems so much more like it could be either great or super disappointing.

I'll keep my expectations for the D2C low, the Jurassic Park D2C sadly taught me that

Is there anything we can do besides report them? 

Track their IP adress and smash their electronic devices? Anyone know a decent hacker?

Going back to Lavender... Was potentially doing a Bricklink order. Is this the item people were saying would be good to add to Lavender's hair?

It's like 1p so I thought I may as well lol

That’s one of the options, I’m not sure if there are more bows or not (I don’t follow Friends). However, my guess is that she comes with the Friends hair piece specifically to use a bow that is probably included in the set. I would also hope she has a cloth skirt as well

You're right, it's the best one 

You might be right with your guess as well. At the first sight, it looked like a new color for me but that's very unlikely so I suppose the picture is not 100% accurate.

Do you guys think that beauxbatons carriage will be retired this year?

It's feeling like it's not that popular like the other sets?

Yeah, but upon searching I found two more:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=92355c#T=C

Seeing how they bothered with making that friends hairpiece in a new color, I think the bow is a given. I would’ve preferred they invested in leg printing or a skirt in this case (be it cloth or the new plastic one) Batgirl’s skirt from the CMF could work but it’s too big I think.

Ah ok thank you! I'll probably not worry then, save my 1p.

I can see why you'd think that. But it only came out August 2019 so won't for a long while as yet.

A printed piece of this leaked, idk if it's legit and where it's coming in

[Accio Lego]

So the Jurassic World sets have started leaking on Instagram, fingers crossed that’s a sign we’ll get more licensed themes soon. 
 

In more relevant news, a new printed tile just leaked that’s definitely a Ministry Of Magic issued poster but hard to tell if it’s a leak or custom since it’s not a well known image. 
 

Edit: Looks like I got ninja’d 

Edit 2: I’m looking it up and it looks like the image above @Guyon2002 posted which the tile is loosely based off of isn’t even an official Harry Potter image?

I already checked the original source of the JW sets and the HP sets aren't on there (well they are there but not with videos like the JW ones). We'll probably have to wait a little longer

Ignore what I had just sent, I’m stupid and saw it wrong

What unexpected piece to have, I'm so pleased about those random details LEGO designers are putting in this reboot, I did not expect that at all

I found the same thing. It’s not exactly a known reliable source who posted it. Idk at this point it could go either way but considering it’s the most exciting HP thing that’s happened today, I’ll take it

On one of the ninjago sets that has been leaked, it looks as though there are white mixel joints, I may be seeming that wrong but it could be an indication of a gringotts dragon? A very far fetched idea but they don’t normally do new mixel joints colours 

Not sure it’s any type of indication but it would certainly be useful in constructing one

It's probably the one of most likely sets to retire this year, the only ones that will almost certainly be retained are Whomping willow and the 2020 Advent Calendar. After those I would guess these are the next in order of most to least likely to retire, Quiddtch, Hogwarts Express, Carriage, Great Hall, Rise of Voldemort. 
 

the August wave is usually a bit more limited plus the Carriage isn't the most popular so it's possible it will go and it's the most likely 2019 set to retire. I wouldn't worry about it though. It probably won't be retired this year and even after it's retired most stores will probably still have leftover sets to sell.

It would be nice though, especially if they'd done it last year so that my Ideas Dinosaur Fossils wasn't all white except for the grey joints along it

Just don’t get too hopeful. The original image definitely wasn’t done by the Harry Potter graphic designers, and the fact that the tile itself isn’t as accurate to the original image as we’d expect for lego’s current quality in the theme.

I know, I was being more morbidly sarcastic than anything. This day dragged me down a little not gonna lie. 

[lego_guyon02]

Marvel and Ninjago sets are showing up on the same place as Jurassic, HP isn't there yet but might be soon

[Portal Out]

Yeah I’d put money on that tile being fake.  I feel like it would’ve been a sticker if it were real, and there’s something that’s just a little off about it.  If anything, it could be an accessory for a minifigure from the new series, but I highly doubt it.

Biggest red flag is that poster not existing in HP as @Accio Lego said

[SupesBatsy]

A bunch if Marvel, JP, Ninjago and Hidden Side leaks are coming!
