My fear is that the main characters will be depicted by these new figs, and
hagrid by a larger version, perhaps a technic fig. It would be terrible if
this was the case, and wizards hats, hairpieces etc from the new figs were
not compatabvle with good old fashioned minifigs! Imagine many strange
coloured wizards hats which were no use for standard castles ;(
