You can't really compare one license to another, especially Star Wars. It's a highly inconsistent theme, sometimes a $30 set has 4 figures and an $80 set has 3. Harry Potter is completely it's own thing. Kingnono's hint also isn't necessarily hinting at a large amount of figures, maybe they're just very detailed

If someone's trying to get all figures those 4 will definetely be something nice (or awfull) but for me personally, as someone who even keeps FB and HP seperate, I'm completely fine with not having the Founders This is me, I collect figures of characters that can be used on display in my Hogwarts/part of my overall display once all the sets are out, those 4 characters aren't necessary for either

The most we’ve gotten in a set is 10 with the Great Hall I believe, so 15 would still please me very much as a minifigure collector

Accio Lego Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Since we’re speculating on the number of figures in the D2C, there’s also kingnono’s ‘Thorsten and Torben’ riddle to unravel. It’s been pointed out that the names probably refer to Fred and George, who could only be appearing in the D2C, and kingnono has hinted that the ‘can’t change tires between Saturday and Sunday’ part is reference to F1 racing. I’m not familiar with the sport, but according to my research an F1 race takes place on Sunday and has 20 cars. The qualifying rounds take place on Saturday, and the top ten cars from those are required to use the tires from their fastest run in the Sunday race. This could suggest a few things: - 20 figures overall with 10 (including Fred and George) being exclusives - 10 figures overall (including Fred and George) - 10 exclusive figures (including Fred and George) with some other number overall.

SuperChris Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I really can’t imagine getting 20 figures in the Diagon Alley set. I’ve listed 20 that could appear, even if some stand no chance (Would we really get Quirrel again? Borgin only ever appeared in a deleted scene IIRC). What does everyone else think? The ones in bold I think have the highest chance of appearing. Harry Ron Hermione Hagrid Tom (Barkeeper) Lucius Draco Ginny Lockhart Goblin #1 Goblin #2 Fred George Olivander Borgin Quirrel Fudge Bellatrix Narissa Greyback Edited May 19, 2020 by SuperChris

I only put Fudge on the list because of kingnono’s “He’s back” hint.

Harry Ron Hermione Hagrid Tom (Barkeeper) Lucius Draco Ginny Lockhart Goblin #1 Goblin #2 Fred George Olivander Borgin Quirrel Fudge Bellatrix Narissa Greyback That's an interesting list, it's certainly given me some thoughts. One thing that is a bit of a head-scratcher for me is that because the Lego sets are so specific nowadays with the different character age groups and how they are represented as figures I'm not sure how many films they can draw from in one set - although it happened in the CMF I can't imagine getting two versions of Harry in the same set. But then the designers would either have to pick between when the minifigures look the same, such as either choosing the first two films or Half Blood Prince or Deathly Hallows when they will likely pick both for the definitive version of Diagon Alley. So I'm just going to break down the characters by each film to try and wrap my head around this: Philosopher's Stone: Harry Hagrid Tom the Innkeeper Quirrell Goblin Griphook (Philosopher's Stone version) Ollivander Chamber of Secrets Harry Hagrid Ron Hermione Mr Weasley Mrs Weasley Ginny Lucius Draco Lockhart So just going by these two films where all the characters are the same age you could get 15 different characters just there, and with accompanying buildings there could be recreations of the scenes at the Leaky Cauldron, Gringotts, Ollivanders, Borgin and Burkes and Flourish and Blotts (which is definitely not very likely to turn up). Also thinking about it I don't think many Prisoner of Azkaban features would turn up, except maybe some small built-in references in the Leaky Cauldron like maybe a bedroom, a wanted poster and the Monster Book of Monsters. But then based on Half-Blood Prince you've got: Harry Ron Hermione Ginny Fred George Draco Narcissa Malfoy (not very prominently tbf) Fenrir Greyback Masked Death Eaters (for the initiation and Ollivander's abduction) Bagged Ollivander And then Deathly Hallows as well, which is centred mostly on Gringotts. Honestly looking at how the biggest selection of characters and locales is in the 1st, 2nd and 6th films I feel like the events at Flourish and Blotts offer the least amount of playability, so then by putting the characters from the 1st and 6th films together the only crossover is Harry. Maybe we could see two generations of Harry minifigures in the same set. I'm really considering this now because otherwise in omitting him Lego are removing lots of chances to recreate scenes from the films with just the figures from the sets. Also there's a large part of me that thinks Lego won't miss the opportunity to have the figures of the characters from HBP, the same age as the ones in this year's sets, exploring Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Also just a disclaimer that the selections I've examined are very much based on my biases for what I'm expecting for the set, and not an exhaustive list.

RealGeronimo11 Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 If the Great Hall was £90 and had 10 minifigs, I'd assume Dragon Alley would have quite a bit more

I’m sure I read a kingnono hint about Harry in DA being based on his PoA appearance. Something about him changing his jacket.

KilZol Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 If we were going on the book it could be a way to get a young Tom Riddle as he worked in Borgins.

Metanoios Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) At least one or two generic wizard civilians would be nice to populate the scenes (instead of Fudge and Quirrel because we already got them) Edited May 19, 2020 by Metanoios91

Side notes: 1 Does anyone have any idea when Expecto Patronum popped up at Walmart last year? (I know it was earlier than the US release but was it earlier than the European release as well?) 2 Has anyone seen the mini figure pack available for preorder online yet, or do we think it will just show up everywhere on June 1st (I am wondering whether to place an order today on LEGO.com or wait until the minifigure pack comes so I don't have to pay for shipping twice )
