Summer LEGO Harry Potter sets revealed!

Book nook, Norbit and the shield are the ones I'll get

Knockturn Alley, Easy Wing are great looking sets

No interest in any of these as sets, but I'm tempted to get the basilisk from 76473 on Bricklink after it releases. If Or its pieces show up on PaB, I might get the pieces there; I usually get at least one creature (whether real-world or not) every time I place an order. I also like the touch of the hidden Founder items in 76462. (That sword is something else I might get on Bricklink one of these days.)

The flying Phoenix mold is super cool.

At first I thought the book nook was part of the castle system and was surprised at how large and how much detail the designers were able to put into a small container. But honestly this might be the first book nook set I pick up. Obviously on discount though.

That East Wing is glorious. Atleast we get amazing boxes still with these non 18+.

And I called it that the Bloody Baron would be in the next wave's Hogwarts expansion.

HORRENDOUS prices. East wing looks super cool but should be 200 dollars.

A new Basilisk.

76469 looks like it could be reconfigured into a Mr. Boss MOC

Harry Potter’s made good use of that Aspheera head mold. Would still like to see variants of her from when she has neither fire nor crystal powers.

That Dobby somehow looks even more off-putting than the last one. The Crest and the plants seem quite cool, I can see the latter fitting in with some of the botanical sets I’ve got

2,164 pieces + 13 minifigures + new crookshanks print + new fawkes + new doe patronus + what looks like a new basilisk head for $200. Lol.

Christ alive, maybe give some sort of trigger-warning before you spring Dobby on us. I thought we were done with that creepy monster, but I guess he wasn't quite done with us yet.

I only care about the doe piece and I don't want it in that colour

that's highly debatable

Based on Price per piece this could be justified at around 250, But looking at the set it just feels small for 270 dollars. Also I wouldn't base value of a set on the amount of new parts unless the set was mostly made of new parts rather than a few animals. I see your point though.

Dobby's an elf, and they're innately magical. He can apportate wherever he wants.

East Wing is way overpriced. The last Chamber of Secrets was half the price and had a great hall. So much wasted space within the castle. I feel like a lot of these "most detailed hogwats ever" sets are swinging and missing on actually executing on good, detailed castle interior. I think I would even prefer the 2021 chamber itself to this chamber.

Now that's how you do a booknook! Alas, the creator, so no money from me.

I’m starting to see the Disney price creep show up in WB properties, which is sad…

That being said the east wing does look phenomenal, and this book nook is only the second one that I would want for the purpose of being a book nook (the first being the Sherlock Holmes one), it feels full and decorative and a great use of space and techniques

I like all of these, and may buy more than one. The new basilisk makes up to me for never having bought an earlier one.

crookshanks? I'm pretty sure she is Mrs Norris

I'm sick and tired of those stupid photos of kids building their sets with a tablet—Lego spams us with them in every set! WE WANT paper instructions—is that too hard to understand?

Hogwarts East Wing and Dumbledore’s Office book nook are definitely the best of the bunch.

The designs work really well. I'm torn on repeats again though. I don't need another Dobby (I haven't build the last one yet). And another Dementor attack...

I haven't been building the castle sections so likely don't need this one either. I'll look for a few figures online sometime.

And wait for sales of course thanks to how everything is.

I've just realized something....

The "leaked" draft / sketch of the East Wing slightly looks different than the official released images of LEGO.

In the sketch, there's an entrance to the Chamber of Secrets (the door with several snakes, as seen in the movies) and Lockhart's classroom. You can see an elevated platform where Lockhart introduces himself to his students. In the official model, this has been replaced by the corridor where Mrs. Norris was found petrified. The entrance to CoS is also nowhere to be found.

Kinda sad that they omitted these details. I know it was probably done to reduce the price, but such omissions are glaring, especially if they've been hyping these sets to make the most detailed Hogwarts Castle ever.

Indeed. The inserts --while they are a smart way of incorporating the smaller sections of the castle-- aren't doing justice to interiors of Hogwarts. Only the Potions and Charms classrooms were neatly executed. The rest just feel bland and uninspired.

And I agree: the 2021 Chamber of Secrets had a better and more convincing design for Slytherin's face. My only real issue with the sets from that wave was the overly blocky and open-sided layout of the castle.
