The Patronus is really cool (and i want more), but the glitter dish should come from a wand (from a timetraveling Potter as others said lol). There are already several transparent dishes and effects (from the marvel series) that with just two matching transparent cones can attached to a wand. It looks really cool! So that's what I most looking for in 2020: magical spells also for the Harry Potter series. The most iconic set i can imagine is when Voldermort's and Harry's wands connect. It could be the Hagrid's motorbike scene or the final battle. The magic effects already exist from the marvel series. Seems that the tower of Astronomy is one of the most popular request, but i'm surprised no one mentioned the Morsmordre mark. I want that green floating skull! It's terrifying. It really makes you feel things go dark. Characters I wish: Rita, Sprout (in a greenhouse set), Myrtle, Kreacher and Nicholas Flamel. When we expect news for the releases? Somebody said late setember and we are still wondering lol Spells are most likely not gonna happen. The wands are made to look like wands, not to connect to anything. Even if they made specialised pieces to attach to the wands I don't think it would be possible for them to connect properly. I already tried using some of the superhero blast pieces as spells and I think they look awfull in combination with Harry Potter stuff. The Dark Mark is very important in the novels/films but I don't think it should show up in sets. I'd definetely like to see a figure with the Dark Mark on his/her arm as a print but a giant floating skull would do nothing for a HP display (just imagine the amount of pieces needed to make that thing appear like it's floating in the first place, those pieces could be put to much better use). The sets are slated to hit shelves in summer, probably june just like last year. That means we're not getting any official news untill mid to late May. Leaks can happen anytime so we can't really give an estimate, theoratically the leakers could show us a figure tomorrow but it could also be somewhere in march or april. Patience is key

Patience is key Exactly, it’s a coin toss as to when leaks will start. Hopefully we’ll get set names soon, and then at some point, figure leaks will follow. I’ll be satisfied just to know what sets to expect, and then we can have fun guessing the figures included until image leaks start coming in. We already have four set numbers, I’m honestly kind of surprised we don’t know set names yet, or at least loose translations

HalfBloodPrince Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Is it confirmed there are only 4 sets for the summer wave?

There are only 4 confirmed sets as of this moment, but time will tell if it's just 4 or maybe a couple more. But if it's just 4 sets that wouldn't be too bad as the theme most likely has the same budget as last year and less sets with the same budget means higher quality

In the words of Jedijacpenguin: SUMMER WAVE : 4 Sets (NOT EVERYTHING!) ( GET READY! THERE IS ALOT COMING! ) (MORE INFO TBA) So I'd expect there to be more Besides, last year's first list also didn't include all of the sets, only the 5 sets released in June.

I can say this as I have been guilty of it myself. I do think we’ll be getting more than four sets in the first wave, and then a couple more later in the year like last time. Plus we’ll the CMF series and most likely another Advent Calendar, not to mention an exclusive minifigure with a book. I’m still hoping they don’t do another D2C for this theme until next year, for the sake of my wallet Just now, Lego-Freak said: In the words of Jedijacpenguin: SUMMER WAVE : 4 Sets (NOT EVERYTHING!)

So chances are slim there for leaks Well last year we had RandomBlocker (I believe that was his name) reporting from LTF but we haven't seen him in a very long time so I doubt we'll get any information from LTF this year. NYTF is at the end of february but has barely shown us anything new for the last few years so I'm not expecting anything from that. If only those ''stupid'' knockoff companies didn't steal so many designs we'd be sure to see new sets during the TF's, though I do fully understand why lego stopped showing sets very early

If nothing else, the trolls should come out of the woodwork to give us some fake set names and cmf lineups.

I just hope the super early CMF leaks for the DC series weren't a one time thing and happen with the HP CMF as well, though even if they leak as early as the DC CMF figures did we wouldn't see them untill somewhere around may

For all we know, this time around, they’ll take a break from their chronological waves and do a wave of missing sets from years 1-4 (which I wouldn’t not be opposed to).

It would be perfect. Even if it’s an OOTP set, it would go with both years just like this year’s Clocktower set. I need some Death Eaters and Order members out of this upcoming wave. Let’s finally get some Weasley love. Fred and George would be prime CMF candidates. Edited January 5, 2020 by Balrogofmorgoth
LordVoldemort Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/B622FhJpvnh/?igshid=9sohdfi10xf is this a new hermione face?^ I have a feeling instead of spell sets we’re gonna get classroom sets, which could be fun to continuously add to the castle. Will probably look like mini towers. I can’t wait for bellatrix, tonks, Ginny, The burrow set with every weasley, honeydukes and wizard wheezes, gringotts, a Christmas hogsmade set would be amazing. would be a let down if divination isn’t in the astronomy tower, I really hope they give us another big castle set. Does anyone know if the clock tower sold well?
