That’s what I meant by “better than the alternative” What‘s even funnier to me, as discussed before, is the circumstance that we‘d probably still think it‘s a Marvel series if it hadn‘t been for that leak Sure, a lot of web stores list 71028 as what it is, but a vast majority of them probably saw that leak too since the shops that do list it as „HP Series 2“ are mostly brick-related and thus likely pay attention to such news.

I almost think it would be better if we did think it was Marvel. That way we wouldn't be waiting for it and then it would be a huge surprise.

Surge Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Is there any chance that it isn't harry potter and that leak was just a really well made fake?

That’s the impression I think @Falconfan1414 was trying to give us with that comment, as well. Maybe he can confirm if that was his intention or if he just meant they will both, undoubtedly, be great. We are dying over here.

Modal Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Such a slow Monday compared to the past two. LEGO stop torturing us!
Falconfan1414 Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 All I will say is those assumptions are not entirely accurate. It will be interesting to see which comes first diagon alley or cmf. If the cmf is still indeed September (it would be something else if it turned out to be not Harry Potter and Harry Potter was pushed off) I would expect a reveal probably sometime around the August 1st similar to series 19

DocStrange Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 okay guys...try to forgive me...i have been trying to keep up, but I lost track of everything going on at page 250. So when are the sets supposed to come out in the US? Is it still August for the regular sets and September for the CMF and the D2C? I feel very stupid for asking this, but I am rather confused with everything going on right now.

I feel very stupid for asking this, but I am rather confused with everything going on right now. Currently, we know that the sets are NOT releasing August 1. Barnes & Noble says that Hedwig is releasing September 1, and Target is releasing the Burrow August 15, so I think that they will all be out by September 1 one way or another.
Brickhero Studios Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 What is going on with the rumored Hogsmeade GWP that was supposed to come out this summer? I thought it would be released in August with the Harry Potter wave, but do you guys think it may come out in September?

It was rumoured only by one person who was revealed some time ago to be a complete fraud. There is currently no valid information or rumour regarding a GWP.
Metanoios Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 I think the reveal for Diagon Alley will be on August 1st (date of Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley). The CMF could be revealed sooner

But out of those 2 August 1st would definetely make more sense

But regardless I'd say either July 31st or August 1st are likely to get at least something, at least a teaser
BrickBob Studpants Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Out of these two dates, the 31st makes a lot more sense since TLG don‘t usually reveal stuff on weekends, as @Modal points out However, my money is on the 30th
Accio Lego Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Why are we even discussing August 1st as an option? Not only is it a weekend, when Lego typically doesn’t do reveals, but it isn’t the date of Harry’s first visit to Diagon Alley. Hagrid breaks down the door of the-hut-on-the-rock just after it strikes midnight and becomes July 31st, he gives the whole “yer a wizard Harry” speech, they both get a few hours of sleep, wake up after the sun’s risen, then Hagrid takes Harry directly to Diagon Alley still on July 31st. By the time August 1st rolls around Harry is already back at No. 4 Privet Drive. If Lego wants the use a date significant to the story they’re only option is July 31st (unless the really reach and use Neville’s birthday I guess, but that’s still not in August).
