You guys haven't seen any pics of those HP sets yet have you. I looked around and found some of the SW sets that are coming out. Seemed like the same old blather to me and that wampa seems way too squat to me. I have hardly bought any SW sets this last 4 or 5 years. I bought some of the silver and black droid sets, but mostly for all the silver parts. Still haven't done anything with them.
Without seeing the new HP sets it's hard to guess what they are doing but I am betting that the sets will be limited to the first 4 books, which ties in with the video game. I could be wrong but it seems that I heard something about this somewhere. Memory is going and I don't bookmark enough pages.
No matter, I still am dancing a jig for new sets. And by jig I mean sitting in my chair and smiling to myself. I bet half the sets I ever bought were Harry Potter. There was a period about 2003-4 that the LEGO company was doing poorly and there were tons of sets on clearance. I bought a lot of HP sets on clearance. I bought over 20 of the Aragog in the dark forest set for 7 bucks each at the LEGO Imagination Center in the Mall of America. $20 set too. I have so many of those black tenacles that I'll proably never run out.
Here's a list of possible sets from Brickwiki.
4737 Quidditch Lesson (2nd version, 3rd if you count the Flying Lesson)
4738 Hagrid's Hut (3rd version)
4840 The Burrow (the one I am really curious about)
4841 Hogwarts Express (4th version)
4842 Hogwarts Castle (4th version)
see ya.
