Hello, my lovelies! We have some news on this year's D2C (Direct to Customer, lego store exclusive) for the lego Harry Potter theme and it's going to be a Hogsmeade Village set, 76457 with a confirmed piece count of 3228, to be released in September, presumably as part of the now annual "Back to Hogwarts" event on 01 September. No word yet on the price.

We're also getting a Retail Exclusive set 76458, as part of the summer wave, with 548 pieces and expected to retail for $70 with a 01 June release date. ( Read more... )

We have two more pix from lego Harry Potter's 76435 Great Hall at Hogwarts set (1732 pieces $200 - $220), and they're sharper:( Read more... )

SPOILERS, and therefore spoilered. DO NOT CLICK THROUGH UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE THE CONTENTS OF THE CALENDAR!!!! Be smart about this. Know yourself and don't inadvertently ruin your fun; I'll survive without the extra views, trust me. 😉( Read more... )

We're not expecting to see any official news on the summer sets until May, and as any good fan knows, 02 May 2023 is the canonical 25th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, so I'm hoping for a nice promotional event. (lego, are you listening?) In fact, it fits so nicely, I'll be seriously disappointed if they don't do it. Seriously, they do a "May the 4th be with you" event every year for the Star Wars fans, so I want to see some love for the Harry Potter fandom, too. Full stop. That's me, greedy, needy and oh so demanding. 😉

Official plans aside, promobricks (PB) had a German podcast on this for Easter, eurobricks' bRICKbRAT provided the missing set names, and yesterday the English promobricks (PBeng) video channel updated with the new info, and appearing more or less at the same time, an article on the German StoneWars (SW) site, with an assist from Brick_Clicker, added still more details. Unfortunately there are a few discrepancies between the versions, so I'll try to highlight them. ( Read more... )

And that's all the news on the sets we're expecting in the near(ish) future.

What If...

What if the 2022 Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar focused on the Order of the Phoenix's Christmas at 12 Grimmauld Place in 1995? With the release of the lovely Grimmauld Place set this year and an abundance of canonical Christmas material, it seems such a shame that it didn't, so with the magic of Mecabricks, let's just pretend it did... Hey Presto!

The calendar starts here with Day 01.
