Is it true that the license is only for the 1st 2 movies?  Basically, is what we
see out now all that we are getting?

No , Lego is NOT done with HP...

Is there any news release out that says so?  I clearly a news release (which I
cannont find at the moment) that states that LEGO was granted a 3-film
license.  LEGO can and probably will make arrangements that will extend the
license for the 4th movie, but that is not guaranteed at this point.


Even though I am a Harry Potter fan, I hope that LEGO does not continue
the license because most of the sets have gone down in demand since
the first year.

Side Note: even though there is a reduced demand, I thought the Chamber of
Secrets sets were great, particularly the 4 Privet Drive set.

Harry Potter is keeping us from getting new Castle sets.  Though having
new castle sets does not necessarily mean great sets.  LEGO is still
having its love-affair with Juniorization, at least as far as I'm concerned.


Intrested in HP or not the Lego series has brought a lot of great parts out that
would other wise never have been made. A lot of the LOTR creations I've seen
make extensive use of HP elements. Juniorized or not a look at Brickshelf shows
the bar of excellence in MOC castle construction is being raised frequently.

And there will probably at least a couple gems in the next round of Harry
Potter sets, both in general set design, and (hopefully) in the rare piece
selection.
