There has been no offical announcments. From hanging around people who know
more than I know I can tell you the new releases will coincide with the movie
release. I know that an old favorite will be re-released (not un like the

From there I can only guess but I can't imagine not seeing a Knight Bus and
Hippogriphs!
In the Mean time here's one of my wifes custom creations from her expanded HP
world:

This and much more will be on display at the Cantigny Park show. hope to see you
there!-ken
