acciobrickLego Harry Potter 40695 Borgin & Burkes Floo Network (8+, 190 pieces, 1 minifigure), this year's HP gift with purchase (GWP), has appeared on ebay, of all places, and here are the pix:
It contains a fireplace and one shelf of spooky cursed goods, but no exterior walls, as was to be expected in a set of this size (190 pieces). The fireplace looks like it uses the same mechanism we see in the Collectors' Edition Burrow set (lego Harry Potter 76437 The Burrow: Collectors' Edition D2C, 18+, $259.99, 2,405 pieces, 10 minifigures) for the Floo network. The GWP includes a single minifig: what appears to be a thus far exclusive Lucius Malfoy.
Interesting detail: although there's a good chance it will remain an exclusive Lucius, as they've done in the past, even if that's the case, it may technically be a downgrade of an affordable minifig (hp255 without the leg printing), so it wouldn't be costly to replicate for your collection, if desired, should you miss out on the GWP. It's a little difficult to say for sure from the picture, however. There's a chance hp255 has yellow / gold printing on the cravat / tie pin, and this version doesn't.
