So if 2021 is predominantly Deathly Hallows based and includes a Gringotts and Hogwarts Bell Towers, after that what major scenes do we still have left uncovered? (I'm thinking out loud here with this list, so do add anything I've forgotten.) Forbidden Corridor / Fluffy Leaky Cauldron / DA entrance Chamber of Secrets Shrieking Shack / Hogsmeade Durmstrang Ship Lake challenge 12 Grimmauld Place Department of Mysteries Inferi Cave (I can't see Lego covering this one at all, but ...) Mix these larger sets in with some smaller sets, such as maybe a Hagrid's Motorbike, Quidditch World cup tent, part of the Triwizard maze etc, and I'd say we could easily have until 2024 like @Guyon2002 says even without remakes, especially if Fantastic Beasts sets take a couple of slots one year.

Not sure about years, but I can think of a number of sets... in addition to the DA sets, there's Hogsmeade - the three Broomsticks and the Hogshead. (Rosmerta, Aberforth, Portrait of Ariana.) Honeyduke's. Madam Puddifoot's tea room. Katie Bell and the cursed necklace. HBP Snape teaching Harry Occlumency. HBP Ron getting dosed with the love potion, getting cured, getting poisoned and landing in the Infirmary. We've already got two Slughorns, but we could use some furniture for his lounge, the love potion / chocolates, the port Sluggy offers the boys, a Poppy Pomfrey to care for Ron. (We have the Infirmary.) (This would make a decent advent calendar.) HBP Albus showing Harry Riddle's exploits in the Pensieve... HBP Scrimgeour and Albus' bequeathals, presenting the Tales of Beedle Bard, the Deluminator and the Snitch to HRH. (All four of those would make decent CMFs.) DH Maybe the Potters' grave, the Christmas scene with Harry and Hermione. It was touching, but perhaps too much of a downer for Lego DH Nagina masquerading as Bathilda Bagshot could be interesting, but the cottage would probably be too much. I'd be very curious to see some rendition of that scene, though. Armchair, bed, table, little old lady... Harry spends the next several months with a broken wand thanks to that scene. DH (I could also see both of those as part of an advent calendar, but unfortunately that's probably too dark.) The scene where Harry follows Snape's doe to the lake to retrieve the sword, and where Ron returns and fishes him out of the water. (Small set like the one with Sirius and Harry's Patrons. Harry, locket, doe, Ron, water, sword, maybe a rock for the shore. If we're pushing the envelope a little, Snape hiding behind a tree.) DH The tent. Ron and his Deluminator. Complete with the dread locket of misery, it could stand in for the scenes of Ron leaving or returning. (Tent, cot, Harry, Hermione, Ron, locket.) DH Flight from the snatchers... Tricky, because how many trees do we really want, or HRHs for that matter? But I'd like to see Scabior at least in a CMF version DH Malfoy Manor. There was that concept sketch for a smaller set from years ago... Something in that line. I can't see them issuing the torture scene per se, and they've kindly given us two Bellatrixes already , but Harry's swollen and unrecognisable face, Draco not identifying him, Narcissa dithering, or Pettigrew's moment of hesitation, recognising his debt to Harry (that leads to his arm killing him...) DH Gringotts I could see making two sets out of, one the above ground floors, possibly with the dragon, and a second smaller one, maybe about the size of the RoR, Bellatrix's vault. Room of Hidden Things. Piles of stuff, Rowena's Diadem, maybe some Fiendfyre... DH Going back to the older books... Devil's Snare, the Winged Keys, Chessboard, Potions Challenge PS The Bogart Cabinet PoA Edited October 3, 2020 by krimimimi
lego_guyon02 Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Summer wave for Potter consists of 8 sets and an advent calendar, setnumbers 76386-76395 Got this info from a source of mine who has been incredibly reliable in the past and has given me the go-ahead to share it. But as always I'd recommend taking it with a grain of salt.
krimimimi Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 6 hours ago, Legoman123 said: Out of interest how many more years do you think we have left in Harry Potter? Snape treating Albus' arm after he retrieves the Gaunts' ring. HBP / DH flashback The Headmaster's office, Albus telling Snape they'll have to sacrifice Harry, Snape sending the doe off, "Always." DH flashback (If they made the sword retrieval scene and the cursed arm scene, we wouldn't need this one separately.) Some version of Arthur having been attacked in the DoM. Either the attack or the recovery. Maybe St. Mungo's. The Longbottoms, Lockhart... HBP "Damage packs" to make DA and Hogsmeade look shabbier once the Death Eaters come to power. Wanted posters, broken windows, boards to cover windows. DH

I think it will go on as long as it is a bestseller There is still a lot of scenes that are missing from the films as people are mentioning, but also a lot of characters and it seems that lately e.g. the CMF they are giving us variants instead of a lot of new figs (I assume to save them for future sets). In addition to remakes they can also do things like the Hogwarts D2C, the classrooms/art coming next year and Hedwig etc

broadwaybocaj Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Something weird is happening with my bags (hopefully just #6) in my Diagon Alley. I opened all of the #6 bags with the period next to the oval of the six, telling me that's a bag six. But right away i noticed tons of pieces missing, then i skipped ahead pages and realized a lot of pieces missing. I've been looking in the box and not finding any more bags. So upsetting. But then, I found a bag with no period next to the oval, but the bag number and qr code under it (unlike on the 9 bag)....I think this is the other 6...Am I crazy? I guess I just open it and make sure I keep any remaining pieces if I screwed up?!

It should start at 8:07, which is immediately before he shows the main bag 6.

We'll definitely get Gringotts and another Hogwarts expansion, but I wonder if we'll get any sets not based on TDH, like last wave we got a CoS set in OoTP/HBP wave.

It wouldn't surprise me if we get 1 or 2 sets based on earlier movies (just a guess, not based on some kind of info I have )
Seaber Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Assuming the information is correct (even from trusted leaker a pinch of salt is advised as mentioned by the OP) it's good to have the advent calender confirmed, even though it seemed likely from the start. The last two waves would suggest a Slug Club themed calender (Great Hall and Clock Tower got extra minifigs and decorations the last two years) and decorations for that would seem easy to produce. New minifig wise Cormac, Dean, Zabini and Malfoy in suit are candidates, maybe Marcus Belby, although he only appears at the first dinner, or the film only Carrow girls. Otherwise Christmas at the Burrow or Grimmauld Place could reuse some figures from the Burrow set and give us some new variants. Regarding the eight other sets, there are plenty of brand new locations from the final two movies, if that's what this wave is based on as we presume - Malfoy Manor, the Wedding Tent, the Cafe, the Tent/Pool, Godric's Hollow, Lovegood House, Shell Cottage are all new, as well as revisited places like Gringotts, Hogsmeade, Ministry of Magic, Grimmauld Place and the Flying Motorbike which have been seen in other films but still not appeared in the rebooted theme. Oh yeah, and more Hogwarts!
