If so, is it any wonder that the theme discussing sets five months from now has more pages of discussion than the theme discussing sets three months from now? There's also a Marvel D2C this year; Harry Potter had that last year with Diagon Alley, and last year's thread was a bona fide behemoth. I wouldn't worry about the amount of discussion on the Harry Potter thread this year. I don't think Lego are making their decisions on next year's themes based on how many pages of discussion the Eurobricks thread generates, but even if for some reason they were Harry Potter is doing very well. Imagine being a Minecraft fan trying to discuss this year's sets!

I like the June sets for what they are but they would be so much better if they were in the reboot style of buildings and compatible with the current modular Hogwarts sets. If the August sets really are that disappointing that it just makes for a dud year for lego HP. Hopefully next year will return to the normal expected quality of sets, and I see no reason why it wouldn’t.

No, its no wonder and thats why I said that I hope we get some info about remaining summer sets from promobricks too. Also yesterday I asked why leakers are allowed to share Marvel sets info but not Harry Potter sets if they are all (most of them) supposed to release in june and the answer I got was that this is behind the scenes stuff which we dont understand. I am rly jealous at Lego Marvel fans because it seems they are getting exactly whay most of them wanted :D Edited March 11, 2021 by Textorix

If the sets are indeed released in August as originally thought, then we shouldn‘t be surprised The earlier the leak, the riskier it is for everyone involved. If the sets are also released in June as suggested by the current list on Promobricks, then we should hear about them pretty soon

I wouldn't get your hopes up for more June sets, though - I suspect our assumptions were correct and the other sets are coming in August after all.
Seaber Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 6 hours ago, Ferder said: The HP Wiki is an excellent resource for this, especially for where the locations are portrayed in the films. For instance, if you look up Hogwarts Library, it tells you at the top which section of the castle it is located (in this case, the Training Grounds Tower, on the other side of the courtyard from the Long Gallery). You can follow the link and see what the Training Grounds Tower looks like, and how it’s changed appearance over the films. https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Hogwarts_Library It is a great resource, but it mixes book and film lore - the location of the library is a prime example of the two worlds being combined. 14 hours ago, Bugbot20082 said: I would love to see those notes too, I enjoy going into the detail locating all the rooms, stairs etc in the castle :) — The pic bellow is a nice shot of Buckbeak’s flight... How about a PoA themed castle section, could be called ‘Sirius Black’s rescue’ to be more marketable: includes Buckbeak, Sirius, Hermione, Harry, but also Lupin and some other students and a few Dementors. The interior would be PoA scenes such as Lupin’s Boggart lesson, and his office. Side connecting building is the dark tower/holding cell. Yeah, I'll see about getting my notes in order when summer is here and I am finally reunited with them... and all my Lego! I really like that PoA idea too, sort of a mixture of two of the 2004 sets.
lego_guyon02 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 The releasedate for the second batch of sets being August is simply a piece of info relayed to me by my source a while back. But do take in mind these releasedates can be wrong or eventually change, especially considering the current state of the world. Regardless these sets are highly unlikely to come out in June, if they were they should've appeared in the catalog alongside the other sets.

Thats true, if they were supposed to be june sets then their prelim pictures would leak too
krimimimi Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 20 hours ago, Otherworld said: IMO the DA figures are bland (and I actually love the builds) so if that standard for minifigures is what would “save” the lackluster August’s sets, then they’ll be an easy pass for me. So far I haven’t seen a set from the reboot where the builds are lackluster while the minifigs are great, it’s either been the other way around or a nice balance between the two. DA seems like it has a lot of details going for it, but I just can't get around the colour choices. I might have been able to stomach Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes on its own (I wouldn't have liked it, but I could have coped, and eh, it's at the end of the street), but not with the humongous QQS build in the same set. So if I ever do break down and get it (presupposing I ever save enough first... ) there are two buildings right off the bat I'd want to replace most of the bricks of, which is prohibitive. So at that point, even "bland" minifigs become the bigger draw for me. (That said, I do want Lockhart and Lucius and the grown up twins, and I didn't find them bland. Draco's Slytherin robes are also nice, and I certainly wouldn't mind the DP photographer or Florian Fortescue... And you can see how that quickly gets pricey. )

Brick Clicker Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Yeah I think the second wave is launching in August rather than June as they'd be listed on retailers with the other June ones if they were coming with June and probably would of leaked with the other preliminary images so looks like it will be August...
PsychoBuilder Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) First, I agree with the above, Marvel actually is largely behind us in leaks, because we have photos of the June wave. Second: A bit back we were talking about the eyes of the 2010 characters, and I mentioned my that my brother and I drew in eyes on a Dobby that had faded.

Thanks, DS, I'll try to work on my colour biases. (Fwiw, I do feel like I'd be missing out. The interiors were clearly made with much thought and love.) @Brickroll Yikes! That's beyond disturbing. Looks like Bella lost her patience (again) and enucleated him.
