joeee Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Dang, if we are back to a 7(?) stud wide Great Hall, would a lectern with an owl wing-stretch piece take up most of that width?
Flixter Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 So, Hermione's cat head can be put on her basic minifigure head
Xcube Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) So the new Cathead is kind a hairpiece, so you have a normal headpiece under the cat Ninja'd ^^ Edited March 30, 2021 by Xcube
Tariq j Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 I love that Golden Hedwig. Good to see their finally going to do the lectern, (I think that was pretty much the only thing missing from the last GH).
lego_guyon02 Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Great to finally get that lectern (or at least the main piece needed to make a good one by yourself)!
doclord Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Between the lectern, the pixies, the figures and the basilisk, Great Hall 2021 is setting up to be one of the best Year 1-2 sets IMO.

Yeah, they're definitely loading this set with all sorts of fantastic new pieces, creatures, and minifigures to entice the fans who aren't sold on this new style of castle. In general, I'm really satisfied with how this Great Hall remake is done. It's in an entirely different style to the previous, and includes new scenarios and good figures. It definitely justifies itself, even if you already have a previous Great Hall (or if you're like me, and have every previous Great Hall). I wish more LEGO remakes could be like this, and less like what we typically see from Star Wars, though thankfully the 2021 winter wave also changed things up somewhat in the remake category.
Brick Clicker Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Personally I think all 3 hogwarts summer 2021 sets combine make for a pretty nice end result and nice display model
Zepthire Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 I can see the golden owl and the cat head removed but where are the other things people are discussing?

I think it’s easily my favorite Year 1-2 set. Don’t get me wrong the 2018 wave was great, but it didn’t really cover the climaxes of both films which this set fixes with having the Chamber. A great minifig and creature lineup it’s definitely the pinnacle. I just hope the Tower portion has some cool rooms in it like an expanded Dumbledore’s Office or DADA classroom.

bluedog1111 Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 I have a few quick questions directed at our reliable leakers if anyone could answer it would be highly appreciated but otherwise I can wait. Which variant of Dumbledore is going to come in the great hall? What (if any) class rooms are going to be in the great hall set? Is the second level of the tower in the great hall set 1 rectangular section or 2 small cubes? Same question for the bottom level of the tower. How does the part of the great hall on the far right connect to the castle? It seems like it would look out of place right next to the other parts. Why does one 2x6 in the great halls roof have a slightly different tilt then the rest of the roof? It is completely fine with me if none of you can answer my questions just thought I might as well try asking them.

That's why it is a little bit bulkier (to fit over a minifig head and incorporate a transformation feature)
karrit Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 I have not found anything that could be considered a Cho minifig wearing purple. The only female fig in purple I'm finding has a yellow head so I believe is part of the Ninjago theme. Don't know why some people are so quick to assume most every leak real or fake belongs to Harry Potter unless it's obvious that it belongs to something like Star Wars or Marvel.

One rectangular section. 4. One rectangular section. 5. It's attached on the left of the Great Hall. 6. Probably a rendering issue with the prelims, we won't know for sure until the end of April.

I bet the middle floor of the great hall tower is a class room and the bottom is the part of the chamber of secrets where Ron and Lockhart wait while Harry goes off and saves Ginny. I am surprised about the location of the building to the far right of the great hall in the original wasn't there something like it where a boat could go through it (I could be totally off here) but it might end up being some kind of boat house or at least something for a boat to go through though I doubt it considering as far I know it doesn't have a boat to go through it included.

That small build on the right is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, if you look closely you can make out the snake patternings on the door

I have mixed feelings about it now that I know what it is on one hand it will probably be able to slide open which is nice and more accurate instead of swinging open. On the other hand now it well seem really out of place considering that anyone who wants to get in would have to climb the mountain (or hill or cliff whichever it is) to get in to the COS. I just figured out the real reason there were no attacks from the basilisk for years after Salazar Slytherin built the COS the basilisk was having trouble climbing the mountain!

It doesn’t even have to be something big, just something small to acknowledge it’s existence is perfectly fine with me. One similar in size of the one in the museum of Ninjago City Gardens would be great.

(Insert Name Here) Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Just saw the golden owl piece. Exactly what I've been wanting/speculating ever since I saw the wing spread Hedwig. So yeah really happy were getting this.

I’m hoping there will be a trapdoor feature above the Chamber of Secrets so characters can drop down into it. Also it looks like there’s no solid walls on the sides of the rock sections, just arches, so maybe the rock archway can be pressed to one side instead of sticking out?
