LEGO Harry Potter Summer 2024 Wave Review

[@TheApple176]

Having 1 student from each house should be the norm for the school sets, particularly the classroom sets. I know they have to include the main trio in most sets, but it would be so nice to be able to fill out the school with lots of different students from across the houses.

[@FHT1883]

love the headphones for the Mandrake review

[@ajames3062]

This Harry Potter wave reminds me of 2014 Star Wars and the final waves released on the movies before the sequel trilogy released like they knew it was their last time for a while they'd make sets because new movies were coming. Kinda like they know these are the last waves of Harry Potter movie sets before they're going to have more of a tv focus so they're just really hamming it out.

[@koppolaholland9949]

Dang...didn't think about that. So while this year and next year should definitely use designs and people from the movies, it could swap over in a couple years to designs and people based on the show. Wonder if that will affect how the castle system will flow together with it's expansions.

[@maggie198333]

31:05 There is a play feature. You can knock out the bathroom with the troll’s bat

[@acertainredpanda1115]

The Great Hall is my second favorite set I have ever built, my favorite is the UCS Millenium Falcon (2nd edition).

[@АндрейСапонов-р1л]

Thank you for the choice of music. Ambient from the old Chamber of Secrets game is an automatic like from me. As for the sets: Aragog - I got 5 of these and together with 6 copies of 76432 and some 50 spiders (not to mention Ford Anglia and Fang) I've recreated the most detailed Aragog's Lair scene yet (c)(tm); the whole dark blue thing lends itself well to that. I did not expect this kind of customization potential from Harry Potter of all themes, so I'm very happy with how it turned out. Diagon Alley - I haven't built this one yet, but I'm happy to have another line with potential for expansion, excited to see how it'll look like in a few years. While individual parts might be not as ambitious as those large UCS sets, put together as a whole they can accomplish what a single $400-500 set can't. Also, Harry Potter is that one theme where I thought it wouldn't be possible to force inclusion into because of well-defined characters, but they've gone and done it ^_^ Mandrake - with Chamber of Secrets being my favorite getting this one was a no-brainer. However the mandrake not actually screaming is a missed opportunity for Lego Group, they could've easily gotten $50 more out of me by adding this feature. Nevertheless I welcome a touch of Botanical Collection in Harry Potter and if they ever made a similar-style Whomping Willow - I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Buckbeak - between it looking too mechanical, me not being a huge fan of Prisoner of Azkaban, the side build having no real potential to be combined with other sets and me having 6 spare Buckbeaks from my Aragog endeavour - it stands to reason I did not get this one. Triwizard - way I see this it was a mistake to try and combine so many things into a single set at this price range. Sacrifices had to be made, and the carriage is smaller and simpler compared to 75958 and feels like a side build. While the ship, supposedly a star of the set, also ended up kinda cramped and unwieldy. I did not get this one either. Potions - it's pretty impressive how much they accomplished with such a limited space. But I'd liked it more if ingredient holders came with lids so that those small pieces didn't fly all over the place. And then there's an elephant in the room - this build is obviously more detailed to those that come with 76435, making them look inferior next to it; and you also end up with 3 while you can only display 2 of them at a time. Great Hall - I saved building it for last, but overall I was happy to discover Atticus designed it and it offers a welcome change from those small and boring Boathouse and the Owlery. I agree it's a bit early to pass judgement on the castle system as a whole and looking forward to see what future holds for it.

[@NightOwlStudios21]

That's a lot of words. Bah dum bum bah dum bum. Too bad I'm not reading em.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Just a few alineas (enters) would have helped make it more readable, but I can understand where you are coming from. Making your own spider lair seems like fun thing and I think your points about the ship are valid. Holly basically comes to the same conclusion that the ship is just too small. This is a case where being too stingy with it's relatively high budget really hurt the viability of the set as a whole. I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole for its price. Also, why include only 1 pegasus for a carriage that clearly has 6? At the very least they could have tried using 2, potentially 4. This clearly should have been a set on its own, to give them both the love they clearly didn't get from the designers. Even if this is featured together in the movie, they are seperate entities and a lot of people just would want 1 of these and not both. With freeing up some of the parts budget they could have made the ship wider and more accessible and the carriage could be a real set with enough pegasi to make it closer to the one it is supposed to resemble. Once again, I'm not a HP expert at all, but sometimes the perspective of an outsider looking at them as just Lego sets, can really help to get out all the fanboism / fangirlism.

I have a really cool idea that they can do for the Hogwarts Tower and that is for each floor is a different set and with the floors they could add in different classrooms and the Gryffindor common room and the staircase

[@kaskovic1993]

They need to make a set that does the Great Hall justice! I feel like because they always concentrate on the outside and because of that the inside of the hall feels blend and very tiny compared to the real thing!

[@funnyhappystudios]

You ARE able to destroy the bathroom stall in the Great Hall set. It’s why the pieces are attached together only by jumper plates. Also, you can remove one of the candles to attach the Fat Friar to make it look like he’s flying

My thing with the Buckbeak is that it really could’ve used custom molded pieces to save it from looking like a… janky, clunky mess. Hell, they made a custom mold for the troll and that’s just one part of a huge set. For a dedicated set for Buckbeak, could’ve really benefitted!

[@lexibroadbent1467]

I was so excited for the diagon alley expansion when it was being leaked, but I’m actually disappointed by it and probably won’t get it 😢 Padma’s new skin tone makes her not look like Parvati’s twin, and I think the old one looked more accurate. And you voiced my thoughts exactly with the lack of details. Weasleys Wizard Wheezes stood out to me for the amazing minifigure selection and niche references, and this just doesn’t reach that level for me. But I guess that’s the benefit of this new system; I can pass on this one, and still build up a diagon alley over the next few years ❤

[@marknieuwstad2504]

Great review, as always. I just finished building the Potions Classroom and Olivanders/Madame Malkin's. I think they're both great. The only fault I could give is that the arch pieces (in the classroom) could have been printed instead of stickers. You get 6 of them in the set, that should make it worth being printed. Next up is the Great Hall. Can't wait!

I don't agree that the potions classroom price is unreasonable. The previous potions classroom released in 2021 was 30 USD, and if you compare the 2, this new one from 2024 is so much better, more sturdy, has an extra minifig a lot less stickers, so many more details and connects to the castle. So given that the old potions class was 30, having this reimagined much better version costing 39.99 isn't unreasonable. Now, one might argue that 30 dollars for the old one is too much, but thats a different conversation 😅

The potions class and the others rooms I will display wide open apart from the great hall, I think that the interior is beautiful. I really liked the sets of this year!

My issue with Buckbeat (the Griffon) is that not only are the proportions off for its own body, it also doesn't scale to minifigure level at all. I'm not an expert, but when I looked up a piece of video, it was slightly taller and bigger than a horse, but double the width. For me, as a non Harry Potter fan, I was interested in it just as a creature on its own, just like Agagog. This however, seems a bit overpriced and overbuilt. They could have made a much smaller set, skip the sidebuild and slap a 25-35 dollar price on it and be done with it. The other set that was interesting was the ship, which I might have a use for in a medieval settings. Sadly this isn't a very usable ship. I think it looks way too slim, too tall and still basically too small for the type of ship it is. Not being able to access the interiors is just sad, you should be able to play in a ship, as it is much larger than a building but just built wrong. Interesting for someone to display, but not for me. I think the 3 in 1 pirate ship is a much better investment if you just want a good looking, somewhat realistic ship. Thanks for going into the entire line, this is great for Harry Potter fans and non Harry Potter fans alike.
