Yeah, just googled it, I’m now very happy, as long as it comes with plenty of newspapers, I am however now worried that the wanted poster stickers aren’t from the Leaky Cauldron and are in fact from the Daily Prophet office, damn ?

Yea I doubt we are getting LC at this rate, especially if they have WWW. 

[Crookshanks]

I hope this mean we're getting Lockhart and Skeeter

I don’t think 1 building means not getting another tbh

[Balrogofmorgoth]

Even if Gringotts isn’t included, at least it could easily be a standalone Deathly Hallows set, hopefully with SS Easter eggs like vault 713. But unfortunately it doesn’t look like the Leaky Cauldron or Borgin and Burke are included either. Then again, there could be more sticker sheets

Anyone got any idea what those 3 stickers above the Ollivander’s signage on sheet A are? They look like something handwritten on parchment.

Do not worry! In sheet C there is another Sirius poster left

I don’t think the Prophet office means we’ll get Rita Skeeter, there are a lot more important figures that they need to put in the set before one who is only ever actually seen at Hogwarts

Especially since it’s the same color as the DP sticker I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just on the outside of the DP office ?

That is true, and that would make sense to be the one on its own for the newspaper Mr Weasley has ?

Why? The leaky Cauldron is iconic. It's the threshold in which Harry steps through to enter the wizarding world for the first time.

I’m just saying with a $400 and 4000-5000 piece ceiling, there may have had to be cuts. WWW had the case that it wasn’t from year’s 1-3, but if that is included I think the next off the block would be a full sized LC. I do think, however, we will get some kind of “entrance”

Personally, I see LC and Gringotts like the beginning and end pieces of DA. Without them I’m afraid the street wouldn’t really feel complete

Exactly, and the other ones could be the printing press making the newspapers like we see in HBP with undesirable number 1 or whatever it says

Now people get my comment on for Fred and George in the cmf 

[BacktoBricks]

When you go away for half an hour and you come back to three more pages and you think there must have been a leak because we have simply exhausted all other small talk and speculation! ?

I'm so happy we are getting WWW and if Skeeter is included (don't tease me Lego with that door!) I will be even happier.

As for Gringotts, I just can't see it not being in a DA set. Other than the Gringotts lettering on the front of the building I don't think they necessarily need many printed parts or stickers for Gringotts so I'm guessing the parts required are either printed or we're not seeing a sticker sheet. That being said, they could do it as a standalone like @Balrogofmorgoth says but I think they must know they'd face backlash for it. ?

what are the sand green stickers?

[Metanoios]

The 3D puzzle has Ollivander and Scribbulus together as one module

[Marvelous Spidey]

Certainly looks like WWW is the “centerpiece” of the set. There’s so much detail done with the stickers

as does the film set.  scribbulus, olivander, x, icecream, florish and blotts

I'm hoping that the parchment stickers (above Ollivanders sign) are papers from Gringotts, but chances are that's not the case.

 Doesn't necessarily mean that it' the center piece. After all the shop, in universe, has a lot of detail.

I wonder whether QQS will have a new broom mould... I would love that, but if there was, it would've been in the cmf with Kingsley

[RODDY]

Amazing stuff, all the shops I want are in it from Flourish and Blotts to Quality Quidditch Supplies. And I was right about WWW, it’s just too iconic to leave out. I highly doubt they would leave Gringotts out especially if Scribulus and the Daily Prophet are in. Betting it would crack 5,000 pieces with how many shops we are getting.
This could really be one of if not the greatest lego set ever, really can’t wait to see the minifigure selection which I assume will be just as incredible based on the awesome Harry variant and Florean Fortescue. Really looks like this is going to be the end all be all Diagon Alley set.

Definitely one of the best if there are no obvious exclusions. I think what makes WWW and Gringotts so unique are their creative exteriors. It would definitely feel weird and perhaps “empty” not having that crooked white tower overlooking the street.

And if for some reason Gringotts isn’t included but coming in a future set, they better hint at that immediately if they don’t want to get into shit with the AFOL’s lol
