Anyone know anything about rumours of the return of Harry Potter sets?

I'd read that they were releasing another Lego Harry Potter videogame. I didn't
read or hear about anyt new sets coming out, since the series has become darker.

Hmm, I hadn't heard any such rumors, but it would make some sense to have some
sets released in conjunction with the LEGO Harry Potter video game next year.

Last I heard, they had announced that they weren't planning to make any new sets
this year (though they still have the license), which means there likely won't
be any sets based on the upcoming movie.  They are, however, having TT Games
make a Harry Potter game in the style of the LEGO Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Batman
games, which will cover the first four movies.  There was a trailer out at some
point, but all it had were cutscenes and a general announcement of what the game
would be (HP 1-4) and when it would come out (next year, I believe).

I have seen a few articles hinting at the fact that The LEGO Group might be looking at releasing new sets (or re-releasing old ones) to coincide with the release of the video game. The most recent article I saw was on ‘The Leaky Cauldron’, a big HP news website.

Link to the Article

In that article they reference Arthur Parsons of Traveler’s Tales games. Parsons said at a recent industry appearance that:

“Lego are actually turning some of the ideas that TT came up with into toys, and are actually re-launching the Harry Potter range to coincide with the game and what is in it.”

He’s not a LEGO official, so take it for what it’s worth...but it’s a good sign.

Hope this helps.
