Harrypotterfreak Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I think he's joking! Or perhaps you meant 'would' i AM joking, but hey, if they're gonna make more sets, why can't it be The Wedding?! Quote
Legomaster34 Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) The minifig has been revealed! Dress Robe Harry. Disappointing. I was hoping for a significant secondary cahracter like Tonks; or at least Hermione with a new torso. I suppose the torso is new; and can pass off as James Potter... Link Darn it! I was hoping for a new Triwizard Tournament First Task Harry, but this is still awsome. And now we have a minifig only from the fourth book/film. I do agree with Nick Wolfe that he should have a cape, but it would be impractical as it would get wrinkled in the little pocket, plus I can always buy a black cape off Bricklink. Wedding set hmm...I love the idea! Edit: I just watched Goblet of Fire yesterday and Harry's dress robes look a lot different, so maybe this is Harry from the wedding?

lightningtiger Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Harry in a tux, okay....I'll leave him in the book cover, might be worth something in a few years (as long as my son doesn't customize him ). But is he in this costume from the fourth or latest movie ? Keep on casting spells ! Quote
Clone OPatra Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Now, the question is which outfit? They've already done his Triwizard tournament outfit (albeit a while ago), so perhaps a Yule Ball/dress robes outfit? We'll just have to wait and see. I guess I got that one right. It isn't the wedding costume, it's the Yule Ball outfit. Here's a film still; the designers got it spot on: I have no problem with this outfit. Like the SW book, I bet they were going for an outfit that would for sure never be made otherwise, and they did a very nice job with it. Quote

I do agree that it does look pretty similar to the Yule Ball pic, but you pulled an image from towards the end of the Yule Ball scene, as you can see from my pic, he does have a cape at the beginning and he takes it off. If you can see past Ron's pink ruffles, you can see Harry does have a cape and it actually makes him look like a wizard. I, personally would have rather had Ron in dress robes. They are definitely more iconic that Harry's. Quote

Yes, but… so what? The minifig is still accurate to the film costume, even if it's the costume from the later part of the scene. Stick some black arms and a cape on him, and there you go. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Having not seen that particular HP yet....I must say - goodness who raided someone's 70's chest of horrors especially Ron ! I do agree Lego got the torso for Harry spot on ! Quote
Eskallon Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) He looks ok and it is fairly accurate to the film. I won't buy the book for the fig but I might buy it for general interest. While it will be easy to add a cape and black arms, it would have been nice for Lego to have given us the full minifig. Edited March 20, 2011 by Eskallon Quote
Clone OPatra Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I don't feel like it's skimping to just have Harry in a vest. It doesn't seem to me like this is only part of a figure, or something. Honestly, if they'd made the figure with full robes then it would've had different printing, which might've looked funny due to the fact that it would be a printed coat and then a cape. I like this vest that we are getting; it will have a wide range of uses. Quote
Internets Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I knew it'd be Harry but I was really hoping for an open cardigan OOTP Harry as opposed to a GOF Yule Ball one. Quote
10or Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I wish it was a Harry in his DH clothes, would have loved it much more seeing as we won't be getting one in these 3 new sets. I do think this fig looks good, it just won't be any fun since we don't have any other figures in their formal attire. I wish they based this off of the wedding tux, it had more color to it. Edited March 21, 2011 by 10or Quote
Sirius Black Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Well, I can't say that this is an exciting choice by TLG for the exclusive figure. I too would have preferred a Triwizard Harry, as the dress robes seem rather ordinary. I'll probably pass on this, or see if I can buy cheap on eBay. I would have preferred a less ubiquitous figure as well. Quote
sebarabas Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Does anyone knows if the video game "LEGO Harry Potter Years: 5-7" has been confirmed and if there is gonna be any other new sets to accompany its release? Quote
Oky Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Well, I think it was pretty obvious from the start that the minifig would be some new version of Harry; the only question was which one, and I guess all you ball dress guessers were right. It makes sense when you think about it, but I'm still disappointed. I think I'll only get it on sale. Does anyone knows if the video game "LEGO Harry Potter Years: 5-7" has been confirmed and if there is gonna be any other new sets to accompany its release? No, it hasn't.

Harrypotterfreak Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 No, it hasn't. Well, it HAS been proven that there will be a Years 5-7, but new sets have not. Quote
10or Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Well, it HAS been proven that there will be a Years 5-7, but new sets have not. where has it been proven? Quote
Bella's my gurl! Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Well, it HAS been proven that there will be a Years 5-7, but new sets have not. Yeah, where has it been proven? I hope that they do make it, though Thi is also my first post. Yay! Quote
Ceroknight Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Nice, the torso will be useful outside of harry potter Quote
ADHO15 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I've just seen two new Harry Potter promotional sets. I don't think they've been posted here. There are official instructions, so I don't think they're fake. 30110 Trolley 30111 The Lab Quote

ADHO15 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 They look fake to me. But if they're not, then, cool. I agree that the pictures do, but with official instructions and promos popping up in all themes, I would think these are real. Quote
Oky Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Yeah, Brickset isn't usually known to do April Fools pranks (one of the reasons why I like that site), so these are real. It's just a big coincidence that all these instructions were added on April 1, or a bad joke by the Lego employees themselves. Anyway, I believe a deeplink is in order: They aren't great, but they do look nice. They're good parts packs and I wouldn't mind getting a couple of them. Edited April 2, 2011 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Downloading the instructions right now....if wi-fi lets me ! You're right 'Oky Wan', handy parts packs and who doesn't need more Harry's eh ? I wonder if they'll do the same for Cars2, well there are the POTC twin poly bags and now here HP poly's. Brick On while casting spells ! Quote
