I've made a new "set" on mecabricks. It's public, so anyone can play with it.

The most exciting thing about Professor Binns' History of Magic class is the fact he's a ghost, which is a bit sad really, because one might think the goblin wars were an interesting period, but no. Not the way he tells it. Unfortunately in addition to his wanting delivery, he also doesn't seem to believe in light or heat, leaving students to take matters into their own hands. That doesn't always end well. Luckily Blaise knows just the right spell. Read more... )

So, fangirling took place, because I'm me and fundamentally can't help it, and MicMacPadWac took another crack at it and redesigned the build as what it might look like if it were a Hogwarts Moments set, and now the world has this, which is too cool for words:

Contrasting it with the original SEC,

we see the Moments version has gained in height and shortened in both the width of the central piece (from 10 to 4 studs) and the sides, but it's a strong contender as set design goes. (One guess as to what I'll be doing with the extra pieces from that Potions set I ordered last week. 😆) Headcanon: they wouldn't need the ladder at all (what are wands for?), except Narcissa is too nearsighted to read the titles on the upper shelves and too vain to wear specs. 😉



I think I'm going to try to take a shot at widening the set while attempting to keep the book format, and perhaps there'll be room for those armchairs while I'm about it (to say nothing of the Caol Ila...😉).

A decade or so ago, there was a bit of official concept artwork for a potential Malfoy Manor set that unfortunately was never realised. Here that excerpt from the 'Lego Harry Potter - Building the Magical World' book:

And a happy Valentines' Day, everybody. ❤️

These are all the sets in the current series of Harry Potter lego, arranged approximately chronologically as they occur in the books and films. (Notable exception: the Fantastic Beasts sets are at the end of this list.) Each set is identified by name, set number (linked to its brickset entry), the appropriate films, and the characteristics that make it applicable for a particular book / movie.

Given the Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales and Christmas shopping, this seems a useful list to cobble together. This is an attempt to list all the sets from the current series of Harry Potter lego, by year of release, with notes as to which sets are officially retired already or should retire soon, the books / movies they represent, and the minifigs included in the sets.

As for anything that hasn't been listed as "retired" or "retiring", I'd still prioritise buying the older sets off your wishlists first. Stonewars.de is the source for the information on which sets will be retiring soon or in 2021, as for the ones marked "RETIRING NOW" they are currentlydisappearing from lego stores around the world, and brickset lists them as no longer available in some countries' online lego stores. Don't panic, often you can find a recently retired set in toy stores near you, but if you want one, you need to act soon so you won't find yourself paying exorbitant prices on the resale market.
