Hannah Abbot is also done well too I think. I love getting all these secondary characters. Interestingly, Cho's hairpiece in this is more accurate to Goblet of Fire and works better with the sets from last year, whereas the Cho hairpiece from the CMF is more accurate to her OOP look. The fact that we have her with both looks is great though.

Just saw it on IG. Dont know what to think about it. Great because of uniforms... but looks cheap in some ways
Scarlet_Patronus Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Do we know who the Hufflepuff is supposed to be?

Wow they are awesome! A shame it’s Harry and Malfoy but hey ho, it’s more house torsos, and kinda expected. Edited May 18, 2020 by sammy_zammy
Jinzol Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Now I can finally make a Harry Potter Army^^ 100 Harry Potter against 1 Voldemort^^
sammy_zammy Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) This isn’t meant to be racist, but it’s a shame they used Cho as the Ravenclaw again. Simply because most Harry Potter characters that we know of are white, and the torso has Cho’s hands, so that really limits reusability on other characters... then again we don’t know many other Ravenclaw students at all apart from Luna obviously so I guess it’s not like we won’t be able to create a favourite character.

You do realise that minifig hands are removable, right?

I'm disappointed too, but mostly for different reasons. For some reason Lego seems determined to make Cho an inaccurate skin tone just because she's PoC. It'd be better if they gave her light nougat skin and made minifigures of more PoC characters. The Gryffindor could have been Lee Jordan, and Blaise Zabini exists too.

Balrogofmorgoth Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 The real question is does this release in June in the US or will we have to wait until August for this too?
TheRandomBlocker Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Am I the only person that cannot stand that hairpiece for Draco? Surely the Lupin hairpiece from the Hogwarts Express set would’ve been more accurate, which is weird to say because I hate that hairpiece on Lupin, so much so that I actually changed it to the Peter Venkman hairpiece ?
Salix Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 I wish LEGO had used someone else instead of Harry and Draco. We already have millions (slight exaggeration) of Harry and a few of Draco, I'd rather have other characters like Hannah Abbott. So far Cho Chang has only appeared once so I'm not too fussed about her being in this set as well, but I kinda hoped for another Ravenclaw that hasn't appeared yet as minifigure.

Finally! an easy way to get torsos for display random students around Hogwarts. :D ( A little disappointed that It comes with Harry and Draco head)
Clone OPatra Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 You know, the only thing that was ever going to matter about a student pack was the torsos, and they delivered the torsos. They could've given the students the classic smiley face and it wouldn't have mattered. Now we can all amass all four house sweaters easily, in equal numbers. People have wanted that for years.

That is very nice indeed.
Minga 089 Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Are you sure the Ravenclaw is meant to be Cho. For me it is Padma Patil. I know that she is not Ravenclaw in the movies, but in the books and the figure is in my opinion much more looking like her then Cho.

I personally would’ve preferred Percy or any of the Gryffindor Quidditch players and Crabbe, Goyle or Pansy Parkinson instead of Harry and Draco

Exactly. Everything on top of the torsos is just a bonus, and they also delivered on that front with the two exclusive prints
doclord Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Isn't the reason that Cho is that color is because Dr. Wu and Wong minifigs are that color? I think her hair is honestly worse, or maybe it's her face, because I don't remember seeing the others get complaints.

Yeah, I thought it was Padma Patil as well, but then I checked and this minifigure is very similar to the Cho Chang minifigure from the CMF.
Bernar Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Does anyone know where the figures pack might go to sale? Does the lego shop usually sell them?
Micmac Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 The maps looks great and hopefully this is a set that repeats each year so we might get robes next year.
