It would be nice if there is a Deathly Hallows McGonagall coming, even if it is more likely he's misinterpreted the Hogsmeade one.

Does he have past form for leaks or something, that he's worth taking stock of more than Joe Randomer? He's a tricksy Hobbit who either gives hints about upcoming leaks or leaks stuff himself in a very ambiguous manner. Last year for instance he revealed the Molly and Arthur minfigs by having them in the background of a regular innocent picture of some other random HP figures

Baby Harry was a living horcrux with no ability to speak and no sense of empathy. What bigger monster is there than that?

With a constant Horcrux constantly near them for 11 years, they took on the bad attitudes. Mind shattered.

I have a fan theory that Trelawney made Aunt Petunia into a horcrux when she was a child, which is why she never had magic and why she was so unpleasant.
Lion King Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 I didn’t know who was Kingwong but I saw that image of McGongall in that black dress. It was kinda cryptic with no captions but Defintiely not DH sets IMO. 18 minutes ago, Alexandrina said: I have a fan theory that Trelawney made Aunt Petunia into a horcrux when she was a child, which is why she never had magic and why she was so unpleasant. I’m not trying to transport ourselves into some strange off-topic lands but why should Trelawany making Aunt Petunia into a horcrux with a piece of her own soul? I heard another strange fan theory that Hagrid was a Death Eater or Snape survived Nagini’s attack.

It’s not necessarily a misunderstanding Sure, a picture of PoA McGonagall would have been more accurate, but we already know thanks to the catalogue that the minifig won’t sport the hat from the Hogsmeade scene but a hairpiece instead. So a DH picture was a better way to tease the actual minifig, even though it’s technically the wrong version

I can't go into too much detail without straying off topic, but there's a reason Professor Dippet left Hogwarts. I'll say no more!

Mostly asking because I already got two of that element from Build a Minifigure so have a vested interest in it being a recolour Edit: googled 'McGonnagal Prisoner of Azkaban' and this came up, it seems to be her most likely outfit just without the hat (in the actual scene outside Three Broomstick she's wearing this distinctive tartan hat so her pointy hat would have been inaccurate anyway.

When you already know the solution, you find immediately all the links If we hadn't know June prelim images, we would have thought that a DH McGonagall was coming.

Nope, because the Dursleys were awful in chapter 1 of book 1, before they'd ever even met Harry. Also, if this were the case, Harry would've had a negative effect on Ron, Hermione, Neville, Hagrid, McGonagall, etc. Not a bad theory in concept, but it just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. 12 minutes ago, BrickMatit said: Isn't that something really true for all types of riddles, hints... not only Lego related?.

Well, the only DH set that would really make sense for McGonagall would be a big Battle of Hogwarts set, so I don't think there would've been that much hoopla over it.

Flixter Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 I don't think Kingwong is mistaken. It's probably us who don't understand him, yet. Maybe he is hinting at Golden Figure, who knows
Seaber Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 McGonagall arriving at the Three Broomsticks in travelling cloak and hat. McGonagall inside the Three Broomsticks. It's a bit blurry as we're looking through the invisibility cloak. I can't quite tell, but inside the Three Broomsticks it looks like she might be wearing the same costume as she wears during the start of term feast and when she says Harry cannot go to Hogsmeade without a note.
