InkyStar Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 QR Code on the Lego Page is now active, it takes you through a odd sort of animation of Diagon Alley, with you peering through the brick wall. Its hard to see much though, but not long to go now for it go live!

lego_guyon02 Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Huh, that plaque is definetely weird. Why did they put Hagrid on the box but was Year 1 Harry nowhere to be seen? Not that I'm complaining, this makes the set even better!
lego_guyon02 Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 The interview with the designers and Phelps brothers is now up, it's 32 minutes long!

They added the connectors to give options, hardly a great deal of effort. The similarity in size between 1st/3rd and 2nd/4th is just because of the baseplates. They obviously wanted 4 modules, 1 per base plate. With 6 shops (not counting the DP door and entrance to KA) that meant two would fill a base plate each and 4 would share 2 base plates. QQS and WWW are portrayed as bigger shops in the films so they got a base plate each. This then forced QQS to fill a base plate which may explain why it seems slightly larger than it perhaps ideally would. But we’re into the constraints of designing and building in Lego here, nothing more. Well would you look at that.

It won't be all that pretty (IMHO) but it will be easily done. I'll bet a million theoretical bricks on it.... You won the bet Edited August 31, 2020 by Metanoios91
Tariq j Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 The buildings looks so good when they’re displayed opposite one another. It’s a shame that feature wasn’t shown off more on the box. I think QQS could have used some textured bricks for the exterior of the second floor.
InkyStar Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 First initial reaction for me is WOW. The detail is incredible, and I am relieved to see the pink isn't quite as neon as it first appeared. Christmas is an awfully long way away!
MaxHeadroom Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 If we're getting Harry here then what is HP-4? UCS Dobby's Sock GWP?
Falconfan1414 Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Has it been said before that the secret is there is a box 21 with a minifigure stand the leak Harry and the regular hagrid

UCS Dobby's Sock GWP? Could HP-4 not be the Hagrid and Buckbeak Brickheadz? I know there's a pricetag attached, but promos often do now.
MaxHeadroom Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Watching the interview right now and I love that they have the old HP statues behind them that we saw in the designer section of the original DK book. I wonder where those were kept while the line was dormant.
Fuppylodders Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 So I'm wondering, all the assumptions that there could be a GWP 2 months down the line (perfectly reasonable assumptions based on the fig and previous precedence, but given that fig is now in the set) , is it possible it won't happen? And they actually pulled the GWP in line with the release? I'm thinking going to try get it straight away to get those gwp's...
YetiZombie Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 There's an alternate face on Lockhart and it's great!!!
