The only thing I hope doesn't occur is that we get minifigures that are so slightly different that as a collector you feel compelled to get them even though in reality there's just a clothing crease in a different direction or something. 

I agree. I don't plan to buy the Horntail so I hope the minfig/any accessories isn't desirable.

Wouldn't be the first time they mix elements from multiple films in the same set

That's true. And this would be the first DH set.

If Ministry of Magic set is DH based, why the golden statue?

I suppose someone confused deatheaters with dementors (both with hoods and capes) and the set is OotP based. This would be coherent with the golden statue.

My guess is that it is based on both

Thought. If it is deathly hallows based what if they do the alternate face thing for Harry Ron and Hermione like in the bathroom set

I hope. If the set is DH-based I would like it. I could see it including Umbridge's office. I also hope to see the elevators and a representation of the courtroom. And that way we could still see a playset of the final OoTP battle in the future.

Me neither. I'm out with the brick built creatures. I just don't want a Lego Star Wars scenario where you have to buy expensive sets to get figures that aren't much different, but just have arm printing etc. I hope they reuse the Harry from the last one, but I feel a small change might occur.

In their video, promobricks have said there is a sort of side module that COULD represent the hall of prophecies, but they're not certain about it and wouldn't vouch for it 

Edit: It says so in the descriptions as well, whoops

Since the last First Task Harry had him without the outer cloak on, this set will likely have him with it.

Either way, this will be my easiest skip in all five years of the theme, and potentially the only one from the summer wave I skip on.

I know. It's very confusing. I just find this set to be very messy from the description. I have always wanted a MoM but I imagined getting the Order of the Phoenix and Death Eaters galore. Here's hoping lots of people enjoy it, and down the line, we get the minifigs to fill the holes that are missing for me to enjoy it. I wonder if they couldn't include the veil because of the death association. 

Also, this could have been the set to get Sirius in his suit.

Maybe the brick-built Dobby is actually a Brickheadz set? 

I would die of cuteness. And I still want my Neville/Luna duopack.

Disagreed. Finally some redemption for that chicken cosplaying as a horntail from 2019!

Okay, everything said it's definitely of note that not a single playset is from Goblet of Fire. Either LEGO wised up to how terrible that adaptation was and are ceasing to make playsets based on it or, more likely, I'm betting that it's what the $120 set is based on.

I have to agree with this. GoF is my least favourite movie and the only one I cringe at while watching. But I still would like the missing scenes and characters from it.

I mean, we still haven't seen if it even is better. And my point was just that I've never cared about the Horntail in the slightest, so one out of minifigure-scale holds no desire for me. I'm glad others are excited, though.

[Textorix]

Also I am not sure if it was mentioned here, but the coolest thing is that Dumbledore office can finally allow us to connect Hogwarts sets into 90 degree angle... gosh I have been waiting for this, because I was running out of options how to connect new system sets to 2018-2020 ones.

Now that is the minifigure that I also wanted rly bad, but I am optimistic that these minifigure descriptions are not final

The only scene I can picture Ginny in in POA is the 'Fat Lady: She's Gone!' line. I hope that means we could see a representation of the staircase in that set.

...Okay, the Fat Lady and an accurate moving staircase could make this one of the best HP sets of the wave- we haven't gotten either of those since the 2004 Clock Tower!

I agree, but I can't see that + a courtyard + the dark tower for that price.

I mean, I could see them doing it where the stairs are around the back of the bottom floor (courtyard interior), then the Dark Tower consists of two more modules: one with the Fat Lady portrait and a top module with Sirius's jail cell.

This Ministry set really excited me. I have a feeling its set up to make room for expansions in future waves, like the fountain battle and prophecy scenes

[Childe_Roland]

Yessssssss, we're getting a shrieking shack! I've wanted the original for sooo long, been very tempted to buy but glad I held out.

The thestral carriage sounds adorable, definitely a buy for me.

The ministry sounds intriguing, but I think I need a picture before I decide. Could be cool but sounds a little hodge-podge. Maybe a buy for me.

The castle expansions sound neat, but I've not purchased any on the new style and don't really plan to. Maybe if there is a cool character but I'll prolly just bl them.

Pass on the horn tail for me

No new info on those last two sets, still hopeful for a Gringott's, but if it's not my wallet will be thankful. At the price for the smaller I figure it could be a new set of build able figures, but I'd be esstatic if it was a No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

I just realized that Horntail is not actually a remake, as it is rather continuation of buildable Hedwig and Fawkes line... lol that means hard pass for me and I am only getting the exclusive minifigure (wonder what it will be) :D So as someone said here pretty much no remakes in this wave if we don't count sets before 2018, that is great.

Harry in his First Task outfit but with a tear on his shoulder.

I hope Lego takes some artistic license and puts Luna in her barefoot outfit in the Carriage because I always wanted that version of her, and since we're getting the baby Thestral in the set, it's the only way we'll get her. And I hope they include an apple (like in the SpinMaster playset).

So basically batlle damaged version of the minifig that we got in 2019, that would be cool.

[Axxe90]

I‘m also a bit surprised they are covering 3 movies with this wave. Would that mean that 2023 could be covering 6, 7 and 8?

…Before in 2024 the HP Theme will get the next remake?

By then the new modular Hogwarts system would have been on the market for 3 years, just like the 2018-2020 line.

[1234567892022]

Seeing this list has left me with more questions than answers. It's going to be a looong wait until April.

Given the fact we only get Luna and Harry in that set + the baby thestral and that the scene with the baby thestral also only contains Luna and Harry, I personally think it is a given that we get Harry and Luna based around the thestral talking scene, were both variants of Luna and Harry are new.

What is in April? Official reveal?
