giggitygoo Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I'm sceptical... Professor Sprout has only appeared in one single movie, I doubt she'd be in Deathly Hallows Part 2, and I can't think of any sets she'd be in. Besides, It's niot because a fig has tan clothes and a hat that it's necessarly professor Sprout. It could be a man after all, we can't see the face. It could be anything, a random Wizard, or even Mister Lovegood. By the way, it could be possible the colors are not 100procent known yet. Last time they change the colors of Voldemorts clothes, and they changed Filch's face, remember ? why coudn't be that tan wizard be a blue one : Trelawney come back, throwing magic balls to the death eaters like in the book ? I'm pretty sure it is'nt sprout but It could be anything ! I have looked it up and Professor Sprout does appear in the Deathly Hallows pt 2 Quote
Vindice Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I think the fact that the Hogwarts castle set has Professor Flitwick made it quite likely that Professor Sprout could make an appearance especially as she has no small part to play in the battle. I can't imagine that Neville would be left out of this set to be honest. Be nice to see one or both or Lupin and Tonks too. Quote
giggitygoo Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Cant wait for coverage of the Toy fair (and im getting a wee bit impatient) ahaha Then again the New York Toy Fair should be better as we will be able to get pictures Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 And there's also the Nürnberg Toy Fair (February 2nd-8th), but in the past we haven't got that many pictures from there, NY Toy fair is still the main event Anyway, I still hope we'll get some news today even though it's getting less and less likely Quote
Sirius Black Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I just checked Brickset, and the top news link states that there are indeed quite a haul of new HP figs. The three sets have appx 15 figs, and half are estimated to be new. Im looking forward to some pics. With 6-7 new characters, who can we expect? I am hoping for Sirius and Remus myself. Sirius Quote
Gregorovich Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Is anyone here a Brickset member? If they are, could they ask what the new figs were? I'd do it myself, but I'm not a member. Quote
buddy Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Is anyone here a Brickset member? If they are, could they ask what the new figs were? I'd do it myself, but I'm not a member. I've just asked on Brickset what the new minifigs will be. ~buddy~ Quote
Ravenxl7 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Well, it's not much, but at least it's something. I was hoping Brickset would go into more detail than that, but it's better than nothing. Hopefully someone there asks if they could get into more detail about the minifigs. 12-15 sounds really good for only three sets. I'm beginning to think that the Knight Bus set might have a Sirius minifig in addition to his dog-form/the grim. By the sounds of it, the Battle for Hogwarts set should have at least 6 minifigs in it. I'm still hoping that the Knight Bus has a minifig head painted up as the shrunken head guy. Doesn't need a hair piece, but that would make it even better. Although I would settle for him not having a hair piece if it meant he was more than just printing/sticker on the windshield. Anybody else more excited for these three sets than last year's sets, even though we don't even have a list of the minifigures they'll contain? I've just asked on Brickset what the new minifigs will be. ~buddy~ Awesome. Hopefully they'll be able to shed light on what they minifigs will be. Edit: Just came up with an idea that, imo, would make the Battle for Hogwarts set epic. It'll never happen, but I think it would be great if the set had a Blast-Ended Skrewt in it. Might have to try making one on my own, lol... Edited January 27, 2011 by Ravenxl7 Quote
tin7_creations Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 12-15 figs, half of them new.. so that's 7 new figs. I can already make a guess. We've seen Sprout, so that leaves 6. I'm guessing: Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Narcissa Malfoy, Stan Shunpike. The last one I'm uncertain. ~t7_c Quote
Kyp Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 damn, i can't wait for more infos or even pictures >.< i'm refreshing the site every 15 minutes just in case :D Quote
Gregorovich Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I've just asked on Brickset what the new minifigs will be. ~buddy~ Thanks very much! It would be great if there was a Sirius in the Knight Bus, but he wasn't on it. A more likely fig would be Aunt Marge, which I'd prefer. I can't wait to hear more news and get some pictures! Quote
commanderneyo Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Hmm so 12-15 Figures with half of them new. That leaves either 6 or 7 New Figures. We know Sprout is one so the others are unclear. I'm guessing 1 New Figure (Ernie Prang or Marge or even a Re-designed Sirius or Stan Shunpike) for the Knight bus. Forbidden Forest I am unsure of. The New Figure or Figures could be a Centaur (Firenze) Magorian if its based in Order Of The Phoenix possibly or Narcissa Malfoy if its based in Deathly Hallows part 2. I'm guessing 2 new Figures for this one. That leaves Battle For Hogwarts. I am thinking there will be 3 new Figures then for this one excluding Sprout who we know. Maybe a New Hogwarts Student (Probably Neville), One of the Carrows Maybe and maybe a Member of the Order Of The Phoenix (Preferably Tonks for me) Quote
RubeusHagrid Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Huw at Brickset just replied to me with > Can you tell us what the (or at least some of the) HP minifigs were? I can't remember much of the last book but I believe they tie in with it. The Battle for Hogwarts consists of a couple of towers and an entranceway and 4-5 figs, one of which is what looks like a student in a new uniform and McGongagall I think it is in a dark tan dress So much for Sprout then, or he could be mistaken. Maybe it comes with Neville :-) The Knight Bus is much like the old one, and comes with c.3 figs: Harry, the driver and another old guy. 'another old guy' Ernie Prang Hopefully. The Foridden Forest recrates the scene when Hagrid is captured and comes with an adult female who, if you're familiar with the story, you probably know who it is. I can't remember, sorry I'm being a bit vague: the lady on the stand didn't know their names either :-) I'm not really sure what he means, in COS or OOTP or DH??????

Gregorovich Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Huw replied! He says the BfH has McGonnagol in a tan dress ( he says he's not familiar with the characters, so it could be Sprout), and a student in a new uniform (Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff possibly?) and 3 more figures (I'm guessing the trio). FF has Hagrid and a female (Narcissa?). KB has Harry, the driver and another old guy. I think he meant Stan as the driver and Ernie as the old guy. Well, I think it's sounding good!

CMP Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 About 7 - Sprout and possibly Neville, leaving 5 new figs for 2 sets. I'm sure the Knight Bus either comes with a new Stan or Ernie, possibly a new Sirius...that leaves about 4 for Battle of Hogwarts. Quote
buddy Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 All of these new minifigs sound great and very promising. ~buddy~ Quote
Eskallon Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Great news, I was just thinking though, the female could be Madame Maxime from the GOF film where Hagrid leads her and harry to see the dragons. Probably wrong but speculation is speculation. Also the figure next to sprout looks a little like Viktor Krum, mainly by his torso. It has been made before so it might be made again. Quote

Ravenxl7 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Definitely some interesting news. Nice to have the theme of the Forbidden Forest set confirmed. I'm really hoping that since he mentioned Hagrid, that he's actually in the set itself. Definitely sounds like he got Sprout confused for Minerva, and the new student sounds like it'll be Neville. With the new info, here's my guesses/assumptions as to the minifigures (minus animals and other creatures) for each set: Forbidden Forest: -Harry Potter -Hagrid -Voldemort -Narcisa Malfoy Knight Bus: -Harry potter -Stan Shunpike -Ernie Prang Battle for Hogwarts: -Harry Potter -Neville Longbottom -Pr.Sprout -Voldemort -Snape That's 12, maybe the BfH set has more than that. I would love it if Hagrid was in the FF set, but I have a bad feeling he won't be. I put Snape in the BfH set because of that leaked photo of the four minifigs. Would be nice, since I don't have a new Snape, but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't in the set. Can't wait to finally see pictures of these sets. Will have to find a way to get my mind off these sets between now and then or I'll go crazy, lol. Quote
SuperChris Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Huw at Brickset just replied to me with [/color] The Foridden Forest recrates the scene when Hagrid is captured and comes with an adult female who, if you're familiar with the story, you probably know who it is. I can't remember, sorry I'm being a bit vague: the lady on the stand didn't know their names either :-)[/size][/font] I'm not really sure what he means, in COS or OOTP or DH?????? That's gotta be Deathly Hallows. Narcisa Malfoy is it! Quote
Ravenxl7 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Out of curiosity, could someone ask if he meant that Hagrid was actually in the set, or if he was just using Hagrid as a way to reference that scene without ruining it for those reading the article who haven't read the book. I'm really hoping that Hagrid is in the set (would be nice to be able to get him in a cheap set), but at the same time part of me has a really hard time seeing that happen. Edit: Honestly, there is no way that the woman in the FF set is Maxime. Hagrid only get's captured in DH. In CoS he went willingly, and in OotP they tried to capture him, but he got away and went into hiding. It's almost certainly Narcissa, due to her importance in that scene. Only other possibility would be Bellatrix, but I don't think it's her, as she wasn't that important in the scene (not compared to her sister's importance anyways).

tin7_creations Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 This is the best screenshot I could get of it: I am not completely convinced that they are all 2010 figures. That tall, tan wizard is defiantly new and the other is not Hermione Granger, you can tell by her hair colour, the other two are of course Harry and Severus Snape though. What do you think? Eskallon I have a feeling that these could be the Battle for Hogwarts minifigs. Since Huw said theres' 4-5 figs in the set: Tan figure = Sprout The figure next to Sprout should be Neville. The other two are just Harry and Snape. Quote
Internets Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 one of which is what looks like a student in a new uniform Pleeeeeaase be a Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Quote
