We now have some fairly reliable new leaked information.( Read more... )

That's what we know for the moment, rumour is we can expect to see the set officially presented next week. As it's a D2C, we're not likely to see much by way of leaks before then.

So after my multi-paragraph whinge about the planting in the lego Harry Potter set 76445 Hogwarts Castle: Herbology Class from the 2025 summer wave, we're now seeing a preview of a new set in the Wednesday series. And why do I bring it up, you might ask? Also bearing in mind that this is the theme that brought us the adorable gargoyles last year (later used in the 2025 76453 Malfoy Manor), 76784 lego Wednesday Black Dahlia Flower is well worth mentioning in its own right (and certainly in this context) because in addition to a buildable flower (a dahlia, obvs), it includes a mini-greenhouse, also worth mentioning because that greenhouse (in stark contrast to the 2024+ Hogwarts Herbology greenhouse) contains some nice plant builds, certainly for the price.

And we have two more leaks! Photos from the Quality Quidditch Supply & Fortescue's Ice Cream Shops Set and the Herbology Classroom: ( Read more... )

Fateful is back with a new leak, and they've got this summer's version of Fluffy for us. WooHoo! And he's looking good. We can expect it to appear in the 76454 Hogwarts Main Tower set for something like $250 (more on that in a later post), which confirms rumours that it's a Philosopher's Stone / Sorcerer's Stone based set from first year.

And we have our first leak from the summer 2025 wave of Harry Potter theme lego! It's from Aunt Marge's Visit to 4 Privet Drive! More beneath the fold... ( Read more... )

Pics of the two sets from the 2025 Lego Harry Potter Winter Wave are beneath the fold... Frankly they're good enough that even if you aren't normally the sort to peek at spoilers, this one is worth it.

Both sets come with a portrait from the collectible series introduced in 2024.( Read more... )

In honour of Snape's most excellent arm printing (thank you, lego!), here Potter Puppet Pals' "Snape's Diary", which includes the even more excellent Snape's Ode to his Buttons (it begins at the 1:57 mark, but the embedded player doesn't seem to want to start from there):

Pix have leaked of the new lego Harry Potter Winter 2025 wave set 76443 Hagrid and Harry's Motorcycle Ride with Hagrid on his motorcycle and Harry in the sidecar with a buildable Hedwig. The set with 617 pieces is due out in January 2025. ( Read more... )

It appears to be from promotional material sent to stores and affiliates, where several of the same images have been used in a variety of configurations and at least two potential campaigns. We definitely have 'Back to Hogwarts' and 'Happy Birthday, Harry' material. The first segment below comes from a South American ad celebrating Harry's birthday, and contains no spoilers (the same can't be said of the Back to Hogwarts posters below the fold from a Chilean lego store, if you'd care to avoid them):

The sets should have a January 1st, 2025 release date. ( Read more... )


It sounds like they're trying to appeal to different tastes and budgets, which is great, and it appears they're also paying appropriate attention to those of us who feel we've purchased enough castle variations in the recent past, and aren't enticed by the new Great Hall. I like that they appear to be trying to find a way to still draw us in. It's a shame to leave devoted fans behind when you have such a talented design team. The breadth of the selection also means there's likely to be less "pressure" to chase after the entire wave, which is probably good news for everyone's budget.

And thanks to JBSpielwaren, we now have more pictures of the lego Harry Potter Summer 2024 wave of sets, primarily the Diagon Alley sets and the Potions set. w00t! We also have box pix from several of the others, so without further ado...( Read more... )
