I don't know about you but last time I checked LEGO wasn't EA And the connection points on the Great Hall, Whomping Willow and Clocktower sets don’t do anything if you haven’t bought the others either... your point? I’m not suggesting a set up where both sets wouldn’t look good on their own, just a configuration and connection points that would allow one version of the room to be slid out and the other to be snapped in its place.
Brickity Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Oh, the small pleasures in life such as seeing the orange tag in an Eurobricks topic. I’m very happy with the rumors so far. The astronomy tower sounds heavenly. It seems strange to me that the room of requirements supposedly includes 3 figures only. And as I said, I hope we get a 2nd wave consisting of more than 2 sets! Heh.

I suggested earlier that they could have a separate body piece that has torso and leg attachments. That would make it easier to fit into a blind bag and more versatile.

djmangunz Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I’m a little surprised and disappointed that we didn’t get a Grimmauld Place or Tonks and Kingsley for this wave. I’ve literally been waiting 13 years for an official version of that set and those characters. But the inclusion a CoS version of Privet Dr. gives me a small hope that it may be made in the future. I have followed most of the well-known Lego leakers for years and I’ve never heard of these folks, does anyone know if they’ve ever scooped anything before? They seem like they’re legit so hopefully their list comes to fruition.
Huigberts Builds Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) I was thinking, what hairpiece will they use for Umbridge? I really hope they'll bring back the old one or make a new one that's similar. I've bought it separately when I got the bricktober pack back in 2018 and the figure is really looking better with it. 22 minutes ago, djmangunz said: I have followed most of the well-known Lego leakers for years and I’ve never heard of these folks, does anyone know if they’ve ever scooped anything before?

10or Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I for one am excited about Privet Drive! I have been wanting an update since the original and all three Dursley’s to be represented in LEGO. I hope they include the cupboard under the stairs. Now I have to get the Knight Bus so I can display it with Privet Drive.
Brickity Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Some speculation: 1. Okay, so for the room of requirements, the students in their uniforms are a given. I’m thinking Harry will have the mutt williams hair mold, Luna will most likely reuse her CMF hair, as for Hermione, I’m kind of hoping they make a new mold that finally suits her and reuse for the rest of the movies. 2. The grawp set will have new torsos for Umbridge and Harry, but Hermione wears an outfit which is almost identical to the version in the hogwarts express... mhmm. As for the centaurs, I don’t know if the CW padme hair would be a good fit. 3. I initially thought Ron and Harry wore the same clothes from the whomping willow scene in privet drive, but they will surely get new prints. The shaggy - fred - mr incredible hair molds are somewhat decent options for Vernon. The lupin hair could work for Dudley, and the current Umbridge hairpiece for Petunia. 4. I’m the most curious about the tower. As some mentioned here, it could be based on the slug club party thing. However, Ron and Lavender weren’t present, so they could sport different outfits from another scene. Slughorn wears the same bricktober pack outfit doesn’t he? An updated hairpiece or grad cap would be nice; Neville wears a white waiter outfit which would be fantastic getting; hair looks generic. It would be awesome for Luna to have her strange silver dress. Harry could get a new torso print. Lupin’s hair for Draco would fit nicely, as this time it isn’t swept back as usual. I’m thinking Lavender will probably get a new hairpiece unless they choose to recolor Dorothy’s braids. But being a biiit more realistic, they will probably all come in their student uniforms and the room of requirements will be a cheap way to get 3 of those figures ;) Well this was fun.

I’ve literally been waiting 13 years for an official version of that set and those characters. It’s possible that the unknown $40 set that wasn’t on display at Toy Fair is a Ministry Battle set, which could theoretically include Tonks and Kingsley. It’s even more likely that they’ll be included in the CMF where Lego can just go whole hog on the details and printing for them. Personally, I’d already kind of accepted the fact that the only way we were getting a proper version of the more colorful OotP Tonks was in the CMF with all its extra printing and budget for multiple new hair colors.
LordVoldemort Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 The mysterious disappearance of Ginny continues..... WHERE IS SHE. I wonder if it’s possible someone has mistaken Ginny as hermione, lavender or Luna... would have to be someone with no HP knowledge. also for some reason I thought divination was in the astronomy tower, am I wrong about that? I feel like this is probably the last “tower” we’re getting, so I hope it’s included. as for the big D2C non playable set- I’m assuming they would do a micro scaled diagon alley or hogsmade, to go along with the micro hogwarts

DNSNVN01 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Does anyone else think the room of requirement will be like obiwans or yodas hut when it comes to size and detail. If star wars wasnt so pricy they would all be at that same $20 mark

I would agree with you both, except the patronuses included in the set are supposedly an otter and a rabbit. Hermione and Luna's patronuses are an otter and a hare, so even if the leaker is not knowledgeable about HP characters, the patronuses suggest they have the figure selection right. Ginny's patronus is a horse.

Cut the Kragle Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Little disappointed that the Observation Tower isn't being based on Dumbledore's death scene, judging by the minifigure selection anyway.
lego_guyon02 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Divination isn't in the astronomy tower but the north tower, after Firenze took over it was given on the ground floor Just now, Cut the Kragle said: Little disappointed that the Observation Tower isn't being based on Dumbledore's death scene, judging by the minifigure selection anyway.

Seaber Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Looking forward to this wave! I've done a little plan of which minifigures from films 1-6 we are still missing. I've only included characters with speaking roles or prominent screen time, so some students, death eaters and order members haven't made the list. Obviously there are lots of varients of currently released minifigs (including young versions) that haven't been produced, but these are not included here. Gryffindor: Ginny, Fred, George, and Percy Weasley, Lee Jordan, Pavarti, Padma, Colin Creevey, Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, Cormac McLaggen, Romilda Vane Slytherin :Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson Hufflepuff: Leanne Order of the Phoenix: Molly and Arthur Wesley, Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt Hogwarts: Profs Lockhart and Sprout, Madam Pomfrey, Moaning Myrtle Death Eaters: Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, Fenrir Greyback Wizarding World: Mr Borgin, Madam Rosmerta, Igor Karkaroff, Barty Crouch Sr, Amos Diggory, Rita Skeeter Muggles: Frank Bryce, Aunt Marge

Personally I think it'd be so much more interesting if it came with some Death Eaters, considering that scene is the last time we see masked Death Eaters in any of the films! Also the plot of HBP mostly revolves around Draco trying to bring them into the castle (well, and killing Dumbledore lol) so the addition of Death Eaters would make for many more interesting play scenarios! It's a shame as well as I doubt the CMF could include generic figures like the Death Eater from the graveyard. My ideal scenario would be that two generic Death Eaters are included in a ministry set and then masked variants of Lucius or Bellatrix can come in the CMF - that way Lucius could have a new mould for the snake on his cane!
