Harry Potter 2020 - Rumors & Discussion

[deskp]

As for Fleur, I don't consider Lego to have made any faces for her.

she reused the 2018 Sattler head in first half of 2019

then the phoebe head in the second half of 2019

Do what I did and replace every Fleur head with the head from the Beauxbatons carriage, that way she isn’t twins with Hannah Abbot ??

The Elsa head from Disney CMF 2 works also very well for Fleur. And I think the head they used for Hannah is good. Just Fleur should have gotten a better one from the start

The Beauxbatons Carriage came out first though, August 2019 vs September 2019 ?

Releasedates so close to each other don't mean anything. The Ant-Man/Firefly helmet first appeard on Firefly but was clearly designed for Ant-Man who came in a set later

I 100% agree, Fleur and Krum were both screwed out of accurate faces, just a shame that we haven’t had an accurate Krum, hopefully in a Durmstrang ship set ??, and I never even thought of Elsa tbh

Spiderman 3 from 2002 I think. 

It’s from one of the Spider-man 2 sets released in 2004  That colour doesn‘t even exist anymore (medium brown).

The Beauxbatons carriage set still came out first meaning it’s Fleur’s head over being Phoebe’s head, Fleur is no doubt going to come in other/later sets, I doubt very much that Phoebe is ever coming in another set because I doubt more Friends is coming

Why does this matter? It's a lego minifig head it can be who ever you need it to be.

That's my whole point, if I think it counts as a Sattler head it is exactly that for me. Idc what is ''factually correct'' in this case. 

But we should probably move on from this before we force the mods onto ourselves

This pack is amazing. Finally a way to get all 4 torsos in one cheap set. I like that Draco and Harry are there, I'm not buying AT and I really want to include their toilet duel in my display. It's nice getting another Hufflepuff character, but I don't like Cho again. Why do they use this skin colour for Asian characters? Build is also cool and I LOVE Marauders Map.

I hope we get other pack in the future, especially ones like Death Eaters or Hogwarts Teachers.

What is it about the AT that is making you not want to buy it? Genuinely intrigued as someone who buys every set in a theme even if I don’t like it ☺️, I agree with everything else, especially the one about Death Eaters and Hogwarts Teachers

Personally I'm hoping for a Quidditch Pack with all four houses, ideally dual molded legs with leg and arm prints like Black Widow in the Marvel pack

I love a student pack with all four torsos and will buy a few, but did we really need another Harry Potter?

They probably did it to get parents to buy it for their kids  Most AFOLS have more than enough pieces to replace those head and hairpieces

Ooh, I did not know that, I thought they were exactly the same, ok, I’m less annoyed now, still annoyed about Dobby and Cho though ?

Come to help you less annoyed about CMF Dobby,
On a bright side, at least it has unique face print that different from Private Drive set.

Ahh, that's it. It was quite a good colour, but sadly gone the way of Sand Red and Medium Orange. It's the only skin tone I don't yet own. 

I didn't realise that each torso has different crease prints until today either. Lovely stuff!

Hmm, intriguing, it would’ve annoyed me less if CMF Dobby had 1 half print or (even better) half mould grey leg for the sock Harry gives him, but tbh, if he has a unique face print I guess that’s the most we can expect because even when he’s not a slave all that changes is he wears some boots ??

I would rather had gotten Marge instead though, but then that would’ve combined 2 movies at once rather than it just being film 2, in all honesty I would rather had gotten PoA Dursley house with Marge and maybe even Padfoot and a more impressive interior instead of Dobby and the Ford Anglia

Some of us just don't have the space, or the money.

[Crookshanks]

I didn't think we get a student pack without a Harry.

I really like the student pack, but i'm little disappointed over we dont get printed legs. And like another says, the face print look cheap, especially Draco. But the best in this set is the Maruders map! I'm so happy that we will get the map!!

But overall I really like it! I hope they release the polybag as a gwp 1 june. Then it will be perfect to order this

I totally agreed about Marge, And if we don’t get another Ford Anglia, we’ll definitely has a bigger house. But I get that they need to add selling point for kids.

PS. Private Drive already has 2 movies in one set. It based on SS ( Harry’s bedroom under the stairs, Hogwarts mails scene) and CoS ( Harry’s bedroom and Dobby). If they added Marge, it’ll be 3 movies lol.

That’s fair, I don’t really have the space tbh, especially for the huge Hogwarts that is gradually being built, but I still buy them, stupid idea, but that’s my head ?

Yes, the movies robbed us of getting to see Dobby’s spectacular hodgepodge wardrobe as described in the books and I’ll never forgive them for that.

I’m personally hoping for a Quidditch player pack so those Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tiles in the Quidditch Pitch set can actually be of use, but I definitely understand the appeal of a Death Eater pack, particularly with Deathly Hallows sets presumably coming next year. 
 

As for Teachers, who would be included? We’ve already got McGonagall, Quirrell, Snape, Lupin, Flitwick, Trelawney, Moody, Umbridge, Slughorn, Hooch, and Hagrid, and we know we’re getting Sprout and all rumors point to us getting Lockhart as well. Who’s left? We never really see Charity Burbage in her teacher role, and while Professor Sinestra has a canon appearance in the movies she’s never addressed by name in them, she’s just a cool looking character filling a seat at the head table. Not that I wouldn’t like Lego to give us a better McGonagall variation, but a teachers pack wouldn’t have any army building appeal and who would be the exclusive character?

I went on Amazon UK to look at the sets to see what I was missing seen as I didn’t realise Umbridge, Dobby and Slughorn are unique, and yeah, I noticed that Privet Drive has Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets in it, so yeah, I guess 3 films in 1 set is too much, but if you think about it, technically Hogwarts (although many little sets) is one big set and that has many different films in it ?, I jest ofc, I would rather it be mainly PoA with a hint of PS, rather than what it is, mainly CoS with a hint of PS ?, I also noticed that the images on Amazon of the Astronomy Tower, in the Ravenclaw bedroom (I’m assuming that’s where Luna is) it looks like she’s on the toilet ??

They really did rob us of so much to do with House Elves, Dobby in GoF, Winky, SPEW etc

It would be so nice to get some figures based on the books, at least then Lego could have some creative influence over their design, I mean there’s Professor Binns, Sinnistra, Firenze and many others that would make perfect figures, I’d love to see a Lego Peeves as well, shame he was cut from Philosopher’s Stone ?

Oh no I actually love this set (except sand green parts and white door frames). It's just I don't want to spend all my money on one set, so I usually distribute it to get lot of smaller sets, which gives more minifigs.

For example this year I'm getting either one of two from Room of Requirement, Forbidden Forest and 75978 (I need to see 75978 to decide which ones of those I'll buy), Advent Calendar, Student Pack and a few CMF characters (like a half or more).

It also has (very) small hint of PoA too.
They added lily and james photo frame that appears in PoA
