I’ve seen some rumors online about 2020 Potter releases, in summary:

75966 Room of Requirement 20-25 USD

75967 Forbidden Forest (Umbridge/Grawp Scene) 30-35 USD

75968 Privet Drive 70-80 USD

75969 Astronomy Tower 100-110 USD

????? D2C Unknown, likely Diagon Alley

These seem realistic, and follow their pattern of 2 movies per year, with these releases following the 5th/6th movies. Unfortunately, nothing about a ministry of Magic, Prophecy room, or locket cave, which I have wanted for a long time. I was also hoping the D2C would be Hogsmeade, but I knew that was highly unlikely from the start

The scene depicted in the set is from the Order of the Phoenix movie, there was never an attack on the Burrow in the book . That wouldn't happen till Deathly Hallows .

Ahh, okay, I get what you mean now. These sets are more faithful to the new "Wizarding World" opposed to the book content, but i was indeed asking myself what movies these sets are representing. So I imagine there will be one more round of Sets to complete the movie representation?

anyone think collecting patronis' will be a thing?

not counting the current shortages...the fact Great Hall is still un-retired, and now with a 4th connecting building component suggest to me that LEGO is trying to give late comers to the series a chance to buy all at RRP. Not great for resellers, but I appreciate LEGO doing that as a consumer....interesting that you can build all four for about the cost of 71043 (Big Hogwarts).

Assuming the Astronomy tower connects to the clock tower like whomping willow to the great hall, etc. Wow, what a display piece all four will become together! I'm not huge into HP but my wife collects them.  She's excited.

I want hedwig as a display piece and I like the motion from the turning gear.  Reminds me of Tyler and Amy's final build on Lego Masters (US).

we need a greenhouse too !

The Astronomy Tower includes a small version by the looks of it:

 

I love all of these. Adding the astronomy tower is so great - really creates quite the play set when you add the other three parts!

I know it's kinda blocky but I love that they made a Grawp in the Umbridge set. Centaur figs are also cool.

I was going to say, that should be a HP 6 with Slughorn set, which it looks like that is what they did.

I wish they would have done Privet Drive from Order of the Phoenix. This would have made sense for several reasons: it would align with the 5th/6th sets this summer, could have included a small alleyway build w/dementor instead of the Ford Anglia, and we could have avoided getting another one of the new Dobby's. No reason to put Ron in the set at that point though, so maybe 2 dementors instead of Dobby and Ron. Just a thought 

75981 - 2020 HP Advent Calendar

6 minifigs:  Harry, Hermine, Ron, Padma, Parvati, and Cho

Looks like a Yule Ball/Christmas party mashup.

^ I really like this in that it actually serves as a good addition to the current lineup of minifig scale dioramas.

Also, is this the first Padma and Pavarti minifigures?

May sure to bow prior, and don't break eye contact (or blink I think).

Wow. Anyone want to take a stab at the RRP? At 5544 pieces and an HP license, I'm guessing $600.

71043 is 6000+ pieces and $400. It all depends on the number of small pieces included - could be as low as $350 or as high as $500-$600.

No Gringotts or Borgin & Burkes.  Looks like I'm picking up a 10217 as well. 

I’m guessing 399

I'll go with 399.01, Bob!

Oh wait, this thing isn't going to be under $399.

OK?  It was still in the original along with Gringotts and I never held onto 10217 so I'm wanting it to complete the buildings that have been made.  It would be cool if they started with this set and then continued to make additional buildings to add to the world.
