Balrogofmorgoth Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Anybody see anything for the Leaky Cauldron? Some of the smaller ones are too hard to make out

I truly don’t understand people’s obsession with Rita Skeeter, she’s one of the most boring/bland characters in the entire franchise ??, but each to their own I guess ??♂️
BacktoBricks Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 I'm thinking if anything is left out it will be Borgin and Burkes, but the Knockturn Alley sign is a, excuse the pun, sign we will get it as a standalone set. Now I know Borgin and Burkes is not in Diagon Alley, but that didn't stop Lego putting it in the last DA set. Thankfully now this theme has grown to a place where Lego could easily do a Diagon Alley set and then a separate Borgin and Burkes. Good times!
AdriWho Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Any thoughts on how they will have designed the Weasley big head on the facade? Brick built or those weird Star Wars buildable figures?

What's not to love? ?

Brick built or those weird Star Wars buildable figures? I would assume it would be brick built. Similar in style to that of the giant figures such s Grawp.
bluedog1111 Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 lets all hope there is another sticker sheet with a leaky cauldron and Gringotts sign.

deskp Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 the balcony build of Gringotts might now allow for a sticker or a print. Rita is colorful! and quite different to a lot of the other figs we have.
sammy_zammy Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Wait, EIGHT shops?!?! And here I was hoping for six at best! And come on, Gringotts has to be there as well surely... this Is looking better than we ever imagined... Also for some reason I assumed the Harry leak was Borgin & Burke’s but i guess Ollivanders also makes sense.

I haven’t read the books in a while, but I remember disliking her in those too, or rather, less disliking her and more not caring about her as a character/plot point ?

I guess so, there's also missing another sign for Florean Fortescue's Icream parlour. It's "weird" that they have included a sticker for the menu but not for the sign

bluedog1111 Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 I think there might be hope for a Gringotts/leaky cauldron sticker sheet because when you have a very unimportant shop like Scibbulus take up a place on the sticker sheet that could easily be taken by Gringotts sign I think it just means that Gringotts will probably have either a huge sign or ton of sticker and the same with leaky cauldron.

It is not stupid, the version of Dragon Alley in the theme parks is not completely movie accurate. They made the ice cream shop bigger and placed in another location to welcome more clients hehehe

lego_guyon02 Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Finally some news, very exciting! I love how many shops we're getting but I'm a bit worried about Gringotts. But I guess the sign is really the only thing in terms of prints or stickers Gringotts really needs so I wouldn't say it's definetely not included yet. Idk why so many people are concerned about the Cauldron, there are 3 stickers for it on sheet B
