Great! Thanks Christopher!

Yes, thank you!  I am looking forward to the pictures from the display and
the press kit.

ditto! this is very interesting.

[...] What does everyone think?

I haven't been following the predicitons for HP stuff, but I had feared they
wouldn't use minifigs when I heard it was falling under LEGO Creator. I'm
extremely happily surprised at what I see. I recognize many elements as already
existing, and the new things look pretty good. I admit, I don't know much about
the HP stories, I haven't read them, but commenting as a Townie:

The hair pieces seem to have taken one more step toward naturalistic - away from
the symmetrical patterns of the past. I'm not sure I'm happy about that, but I
am sure I'll use lots of them.

I like the girl face.


I like that owl (I asume it's an owl), sure looks Playmobil to me...

I like the owl too!


In the castle: Looks like droid escape pod elements as castle walls - very cool.
Some have a brick pattern on them. Nice to see the small arched windows there
too. I'd love to know what angle the straight roof is on and how it's held
there.. looks like the low ramp element stuck to studed angle bricks (3x1x3.3).
I see a quarter-round railing element - cool to have more of those! I'll be
delighted if they're gray. Lots of flames there. Gray-blue roof with gray walls
should look nice.

I think the round sign is from Fabuland, also Mickey Mouse.

Of course you are right about the sign originating in Fabuland.
[Fabuland 3662 grey, 3682 grey, 3675 red, 3719 yellow - all in 1987]
The sign itself is not in MM.  You might be thinking of the FL grey street
lamp which is in MM 4166 or the FL white sign post column which is in 4167.


Always nice to see the round clock element (once again in synch with minifig
clocks everywhere).

Nice lamp the tall guy has.

I don't think those are SCALA book elements. At least not at that scale. I had
expected the HP sets to use that opening book piece, but it'd be half the height
of a fig. Hard to say how realistic this art is supposed to be.

I found the age recommendation interesting-

About the Hogwarts Express train on the box front: There is no set number involved here (unlike past LEGO train sets). The 5972 numbering is the actual number on the train used in the film. See: (URL) (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) The sign is also used in white in a Belville set (the princess's bedroom). Frank (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
