First peek at the official photos of the summer HP wave!

[gingerwitch]

We've seen Dobby and the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes pix already, now we've got a peek for you at the remaining four sets. I'm still expecting the full reveal sometime today, because you don't release the first ever Battle of Hogwarts set the week of the 25th anniversary of the BoH without somehow reflecting that fact, darn it. (Or if you do, you need

I actually like the designs for the Patronus, well both I guess, but I really think they would have been better in glitter trans light blue bricks, or even the opal version? Something to make them shimmer more than plain medium azure bricks with trans light blue accents. But maybe that's just me, thinking how nice it would be to add lights to make it glow... flat blue bricks won't glow. Sigh. Also wonder why the black under body constructs? They have creatures that stand alone already

I was wondering how they would handle the colour differences, because the Patronuses were always very bright at their cores, but had those wisps all around them, so although I would have preferred to see an illuminated trans blue build like you would, I can't say I was all that surprised at this result.

I imagine the black support is to make it possible to put the Patronus in a running pose? It also means your MOC Patronus design doesn't need to be particularly stable. 😆

I objected to the Quidditch gloves less than the mittens last year. At least here it makes sense. After breaking off a pin on one of those minifig hands a while back (and making the torso useless in the process), I completely get why they wouldn't set things up so you had to switch the hands around. The only problem is going to be getting enough hands in the various colours at a latter point so the heads can be used on anything other than Quidditch players. Otherwise you're basically relegating most of Hogwarts' POC to the sports team, which feels seriously sus as

Ehhh, pearly gold money ... meh. Yeah, the bullion bricks don't impress me much, now coins, etc., still prefer the old way.

Yup, the Lee hair is awful, period. They had Way better options, like the one on Dreamz you showed.

Agree on Bella's arms, much more fitting. Ummmm, what do you mean black!McGonagall? LOL Lego's Epic Disagreement set!

Maybe Dark!McGonagall? But McG in her black robes.
