Hard to say, but I think that's a wanted poster for Fenrir Greyback in the first pic! Kind of helps justify his presence in the set (it'll be easier for people to recognize that this is supposed to be a bad guy/convict, even if they don't necessarily remember his role in the books/films).

It could also of course be Sirius or some other figure, but it better resembles Fenrir from what I can see.

Also something that's bugged me since Diagon Alley was first revealed: the magical pets sign gives prices for owls, bats, and cats. There are owls and bats in the set, but not a single cat. Unless LEGO's been hiding one... (i.e. accidentally failed to photograph it with the official pics).

Also Borgin & Burke's is gorgeous in the second pic, but I wish there were a little more interior detail. In the very least they could have crammed a checkout counter in there to fill out some of that empty space. Granted, the Vanishing Cabinet would fill in part of the space and the figs of Lucius Malfoy and Fenrir (plus any others from other sets like Bellatrix) would take up even more. Still, the place looks awfully empty without the figs present and I wish they'd done something about that.

Hey guys. I've only been recently interested in the HP line. Well, aside from the Diagon Alley, will there be any sets next year? More specifically, sets from the Deathly Hallows movie? I mean, Toy Story went this route, releasing sets from past movies before moving on to the latest one. Thanks.

In case anybody's interested, I was checking the LEGO Magazine Flashback section of the LEGO Club website and found this PDF. It's an alternate model the the Burrow. Not sure if this is the same "alternate model" that was going to be given out with early orders of all six Harry Potter sets (normally this section is for stuff you get with club codes, but that has a little icon saying so most of the time I think), but it looks pretty cool. People who own the Burrow or are interested in building this with LDD or other replacement parts should take a look!

Oh I just saw the express has now a little animation like all the other sets on the lego page :D

I noticed that too. I like the animation, but it has a Hermione instead of a Ginny. It also shows Luna's reverse face.(YAY!)

Thanks for that! I'd say it is most likely this is the alternate design lego were promising people.

Thank you very much!! I was looking for this but it's not a very shocking alternative model... :hmpf_bad:

That's pretty neat, it's like Hagrids Hut in the basic shape. Biggest problem I see, if you already built the burrow. The front window to the right of the door is the base of the clock. One of two things, you'd have to take off the sticker or have a pendulum in the window.

Anyone? An odd question, I know, but still.

It's not an odd question, but no-one here knows yet. If there are, they won't be out until the second half of the year so it's too far away to have much reliable information.

I don't know, but I really hope there is! I mean, sets from the Deathly Hallows would be wonderful. I hope they make some of the sets from the Harry Potter Ideas Collection...

Since LEGO will presumably be releasing a "LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7" video game, it seems likely that there would also be physical sets. With a movie as hyped as the Harry Potter films, there's no reason LEGO wouldn't want to cash in in as many ways as possible.

Fact is, though, that LEGO has done a ridiculously good job of keeping their licensed themes under wraps in the past year. I imagine that it certainly won't be until 2011 actually arrives that we'll know about the 2011 wave of Harry Potter sets, and even then the first pictures will probably be from a ToyFair somewhere in the world, not from a leaked catalog as has been the case with most of the other 2011 sets we've learned about.

My twin brother is holding out for a Ministry of Magic set. :classic:

Ok, thanks for the info!

They've used up their big exclusive Ministry of Magic chance by doing Diagon Alley instead. I have no problem with that. :tongue:

Why do you say that? Because Diagon Alley is an exclusive? If so, then maybe. But I'm still hopeful they'll make more, coinciding with the movies, it would make sense to make a Ministry of Magic set.

Something amazing just happened! I walked into London Drugs, and found the new castle for only 140 dollars, regular 175 Canadian! That's a savings of 35 bucks!

Any of you living in Canada should check out their local London Drugs!

I really like how ToysRUs is putting the sets as "on sale" and they are only marked down as their intended price.

Got the Hogwarts Express! LOVE IT!

So far, I've got everything aside from the train and Diagon Alley. :classic:

Nice!

I need Diagon Alley, Hogwarts, and Hagrid's Hut

Target is currently holding a sale where you buy one Harry Potter sets and get the second 50 percent off. I think I am gonna take advantage and get the Hut and Castle!

Great that you'll be getting yours on sale! I live in Canada, and got my Hogwarts on sale for only 140 bucks at London Drugs (which is awesome, considering the regular price is 175) :classic: !

SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE! WHY?????

I was watching on the news that Hogwarts is among one of the best sellers for this holiday season. I went to 5 Targets and they were all sold out the castle, the burrow, the train, and the Hut.

I hope this means we can get more sets for Deathly Hallows.

DEATHLY HALLOWS IS OUT! too bad I have to wait till Wednesday to see it.

AND! The LEGO video game is available on the IPod Touch, Phone, and Pad! It is great!
