Well, Harry Potter's return has been announced with a bang. The Hogwarts Great Hall set will be released August 1st, 2018. It comes with 878 pieces, 10 Minifigures and has a price of $99.99.
This set looks fantastic! I love all the new figures and molds. There are at least 6-7 new molds in this set. I love all the detail in the figures. The new Hagrid is fantastic, the new mold is so much better than the old one. The sorting hat has a new mold as well. The new wands are excellent, you can actually point them out from a Minifigure! We also finally get Nearly Headless Nick in a set, and the updates for Dumbledore, Quirrel, and all the students are amazing. I think the departure from the sand-green towers is a nice update. I think the weakest point of the set is the Basilisk. This is also supposedly connectable with the Whomping Willow set. Here is the official LEGO description:
