So, Leanne, I believe is supposed to be a younger version of one of Katie Bell's friends from the Half-Blood Prince. I have no idea why she's in this set, but I think they're just running out of characters.
That's crazy lol. Hey, I'm all for the variety. It's better than getting the same characters over and over again and will always add some variety to the scene!
I love the new Troll & the fact that Lego is using the Avatar long arms & legs more often now which some other recent characters really could’ve used (Sauron from Barad Dur & Gru from the new Despicable Me 4 sets) & it’s nice that we are finally getting more ghosts but my favorite will always be the fully glow in the dark minifigure Lego did for Nearly Headless Nick. It’s just such a great idea to do a fully glow in the dark minifigure as I didn’t think Lego would ever do something like that.
Just looked and I'm actually shocked that's how they did Gru, hes got basically the same build as Eggman, why make him look like a secret third Wet Bandit?
As far as I can see, Padma/Parvati Patil is the new Siena skin color, isn't she? That makes her the first minifigure to have this skin color + hands in the color.
Same here. It is simply another relaxed Cheesey video that delivers. Getting schooled a bit in themes I know nothing about, which is quite normal for me. Some of these themes are far better than I expected, even a lot of the discontinued ones.
It’s nice that the Snape is back with the “Snape legs”. The piece for his 2018 figure have been reused all over the palace, so it’s nice to see Snape himself using them again.
It's another great wave of sets. Lego really perfected this theme with so many great sets and minifigures. My favourite figure is Professor Vector. I just love collecting new and lesser known hogwarts staff. However I started to feel that lego is running out of ideas for sets. Hopefully they don't discontinue the theme like 2011
It is hard for them to get new sets if there isn't any source material to go off. That is why licensed sets are always at a slight disadvantage. I'm not an expert, but from what I've seen and heard about Lego Harry Potter, they redid a bunch of the sets and minifigures and improved quite a bit over time in quality, which must be great to have as a fan of the franchise.
Leanne was friend of Katie Bell's and McGonagall briefly says her name in Half-Blood Prince right after Katie's accident with rhe cursed necklace. I also love the new Igor Karkaroff, since that hairpiece came out in Friends I've wanted lego to reuse it in a different colour and Karkaroff is the perfect start to that!
Oh man I love those new potion elements although I will say a bit specialised and kinda takes away from say the use of say Bellville jugs in mocs 🤪. That new buff gym troll is amazing and that victor krum aswell, overall excellent wave!
As always, great video ! In my opinion, Wizard and Witch are a great characters, as they allow children to imagine out of the boundaries that the movie sets.
I love the Durmstrang guys. One looks like the perfect northern lord in full fur and ready for a hunt, the other one ... not sure what to make of it, but I like it. The professors have great arm and torso prints. I might have to start collecting Harry Potter soon enough ...
@@CheeseyStudios I already got the thestrals and the griffindoor banner (to use in my lion knights castle) last year - liked the experience - hate the full price and non yellow minifigs :) - got the banner at around 50% off. I will most likely get the ship this year and maaaybe the hogwarts combination sets ... not sure I will have slots for them though .,.. between barad'dur , snow white's cottage and 2 or so medieval villages...
Love the professors and trolls included in this great hall, but probably holding out on that one for... a while. As nice as it is, that price tag is hefty, so I'll likely wait until it either drops a little or we get a fuller picture of the new Hogwarts system to sell me on it for good - I do prefer the new, more detailed modular approach to the last iteration's flat, blocky and flimsy one, but it is quite a bummer that you can hardly choose your preferred one, given how one will be partly off the market by the time the next one is revealed. Still looking forward to see what this series of Hogwarts sets has to offer - Here's to hoping the final product will look good enough for me to finally put Hogwarts set purchases to rest.
Cool figures, but idk i think im starting to get fatigue? The only HP set i rly want is the Durmstrang Ship but the castle and building sets are no longer doing much for me. Which im kinda sad about but I suppose that's just how these things go for so long.
The new potions bubbling potions pieces are cool The minifigures are awesome The standard wizard minifigure is actually great, reminds me of Newt Scamander The arm printing really adds a lot
@@CheeseyStudios I think the designing options for Harry Potter D2C sets are running short. We already have Castel, Diagon Alley, Train station and a few display sets.
Comparing them side to side, I can say Shelob looks a bit more realistic (if you discount the enormous size it is meant to be) but Aragog is indeed a bit more creepy. I think I prefer the more 'chunky' Shelob, but that might be just LOTR bias.
@@pinobluevogel6458 I agree that Shelob's proportions are more realistic but for some reason she doesn't bother me at all. Aragog though sets off my arachnophobia a lot. I think it's because she's skinnier and more "spindly" if that makes sense.
I was hyped to get the new great hall but then I realised that I can actually finally get Gringotts instead soon! I’m so damn hyped. Maybe I’ll get the great hall in a future sale
@@CheeseyStudios I knew i had already committed once i started measuring my shelf space to see if where id put Gringotts 😂 Hopefully next week I’ll get it
The spider is fine to use with other fantasy based themes. It is great that Harry Potter is available en masse in ordinary stores, which means you can pick them up at a discount to have relatively cheap pieces on occasion.
This is probably the thing holding me back most. I can afford to buy some lego if I keep it reasonable, but over time the display space and storage just runs out.
Gotta say that new troll looks very much more like a troll. The other one took a bit too much Ozempic. Coincidently, I also like this troll the most out of all the minifigures. It reminds me of the LOTR Cave troll, which is basically the same color, has a different head and is quite a bit larger. It is becoming a trend for me to say this about almost every theme, but I'm not very much into Harry Potter. :) Still, the theme has some excellent fantasy creatures and I truly love the design on the big owl from the Hogwarts Icons set. Also a great theme for sand colored parts, I'm currently building a modern style appartment, where 50% of the Tan parts are from Harry Potter buildings that were in 2nd hand collections I got. So thank you Harry, for making building in Tan a bit cheaper.
I don’t get why Lego gives Harry Potter minifigures dual molded legs every opportunity they get but for Star Wars there’s no way you get them for less than 600 bucks
Do Starwars minifigures need them? A lot of the Star Wars figures have basic color schemes because of what they are supposed to resemble. Maybe it would fit a more specific character.
I don't like lego harry potter too much, I mean, I like the books, but I don't buy harry potter sets. But damn, this spider is something I need. It isn't an expensive set, but it looks great. I'll buy it more to my lego fantasy/DnD, but I really love how he is builded, almost like I imagined him while writing the books
I really like the new troll, but besides that the whole great hall set doesn’t interest me - I have the 2018 and 2021 (apologies if that date is wrong). Will probably just wait till it’s on eBay/bricklink
Is just me, or do the newer minifigs lack quality, often see those little scrabs on the bottom of the torso, dont think I ever had this with my older figs
i love all these new characters & the wave in general, but it's kind of a shame that this is the 3rd great hall we got in the reboot of lego harry potter, esp. since i personally prefer the sand green roofs. it's great to see the long arms so much more, tho it's weird to call them avatar arms when they originated in the toystory 3 line. even more so a shame is it then, that the troll doesn't have a movable head like the original one. especially now that the new thanos & hulk all have head connections & the big head mold is used on minifigures & even the small dreamzzz figures.
I have a question- why are people so interested in Minifigures? IMO, they are often the least interesting parts of sets, unless they have a really cool accessory. Is it because of collection purposes?
Some people definitely collect them, though not solely by buying sets that include them. Some minifigures come in quite expensive sets, so then you're better off buying them on the aftermarket. Often enough, it is the minifigures that bring a build to life. (If you build at minifigure scale)
Personally I'm really glad they didn't do that for Sauron - the proportions are just too weird. Love having a standard minifigure for such an iconic character
@@CheeseyStudios I get that... but I HAVE to see what it'd look like in comparison. Sauron is crazy tall compared to a human, I think he could pull it off. The printing would have to be top notch all through the limbs though. Maybe I will do a figbash in the future just to get an idea.
So basically the old troll was much skinnier thus he went to the gym so it could make an epic comeback
And what a comeback it was
I mean look at the size of that unit
Yo facts!
So, Leanne, I believe is supposed to be a younger version of one of Katie Bell's friends from the Half-Blood Prince. I have no idea why she's in this set, but I think they're just running out of characters.

Yet another common Spore Shroom W

I have never really been a Harry Potter fan, but these sets look cool(I just came here to watch your review)
It's a pretty solid wave! Lots of cool new stuff, and the figures are especially awesome this year.
Same

We need to stop calling them the Avatar legs! It’s the Toy Story Woody legs, dang it! Never forget your roots

Right?! It's such a great wave when it comes to the figures. Love getting the obscure ones!
I'm all in , these Minifigs are Great! Thanks for the review Cheesy! 💕
they did Snape right. especial after that version in the advent calendar
Quirrel and the Troll are my faves!
Leanne was friend of Katie Bell's and McGonagall briefly says her name in Half-Blood Prince right after Katie's accident with rhe cursed necklace.
I also love the new Igor Karkaroff, since that hairpiece came out in Friends I've wanted lego to reuse it in a different colour and Karkaroff is the perfect start to that!
These really give off the 2002 vibes, I dig it. Still haven't gotten any new HP sets, but maybe when I am back in America I will pick one up
I don't really care for Harry Potter much anymore but enjoy your videos and you were my favorite on Lego Masters. Thanks for the entertaining videos!
I'm super excited for all of these minifigures and sets.
As a lover of Harry Potter, IM QUITE EXCITED FOR THESE SETS!!
When are we getting a review video for the new wave of HP sets? Yours are the best
Can’t wait for that Great Hall set
Oh man I love those new potion elements although I will say a bit specialised and kinda takes away from say the use of say Bellville jugs in mocs 🤪. That new buff gym troll is amazing and that victor krum aswell, overall excellent wave!
Can you compare the different diagon alley sets. 2 new ones are coming out and they look very similar to the old set
I believe there was a Barty Crouch minifig in the previous Hagrid Hut set. Along with the executioner.
You're thinking of Cornelius Fudge! They've got similar costumes :)
As always, great video !
In my opinion, Wizard and Witch are a great characters, as they allow children to imagine out of the boundaries that the movie sets.
Definitely! It's always good to get figures like that
Love that purple (lavender) turbine.
Combine that new Snape but swap out the head with the Order of the Phoenix set Snape (and throw in a cape), and it would be the deluxe Snape.
Order of the Phoenix Snape head is PEAK
I love the Durmstrang guys. One looks like the perfect northern lord in full fur and ready for a hunt, the other one ... not sure what to make of it, but I like it. The professors have great arm and torso prints. I might have to start collecting Harry Potter soon enough ...
There's a lot of fun sets in the line. Might be worth picking up a smaller set to see what you think!

I’m always ready to get a new Snape mini fig. Looks like a great set too.
The new potion bottles are so awesome! Makes me want to do another custom Potions Classroom.
@@CheeseyStudios I’ve done Two myself and it is great to get new pieces!!
"Leanne" is a friend of Katie Bell, a Chaser on Gryffindir's Quidditch Team, who indirectly caused Katie to need Saint Mungos in the 6th book.
The new potions bubbling potions pieces are cool
The minifigures are awesome
The standard wizard minifigure is actually great, reminds me of Newt Scamander
The arm printing really adds a lot
Love to see more arm/leg printing. It just makes the figures feel so special!
Not mentioning the new wand molds included in the DA expansion?
Most of the new minifigures are awesome! Can't wait to build the Durmstrang ship.
I could probably do a whole standalone video just on those wands! They're so cool (and quite unexpected too)
Is the "wizard" minifig is with the Pippin torso? Also I love this lineup, the potion class had been already preordered!
I think you're right! The Potions Class is super fun. Love the new pieces
the generic wizard from the Olivanders set actually reuses Pippin's torso from Lord of the Rings, so it's nice to see that part outside of Rivendell
I thought that looked familiar! That's a great inclusion
Please do a full review of the new Great Hall!! I love the new system and want you to love it too 😂😂
I'll do my best! Hopefully I can find some time :)
Great minifigure selections! I'll wait until September since Lego usually have hp exclusive GWP. Or black Friday when lots of hp sets go on sale
I'm surprised we haven't heard about any fall Harry Potter rumors. Hopefully there's something still coming this year!
@@CheeseyStudios I think the designing options for Harry Potter D2C sets are running short. We already have Castel, Diagon Alley, Train station and a few display sets.
Is the memorable character "Wizard" actually using Pippin's exclusive torso from 500$ Rivendell?
i really wish i could get those cauldron bubble pieces and the new beakers without buying the potions class set
I bet they'll show up in other themes eventually! Maybe even on Pick-a-Brick
So so happy to have Barty crouch sr favourite book character.❤
I can't believe it took so long to finally get him in minifigure form!
Aragog is easily the best spider Lego's ever released, I can tell because every time I see it it sets off my arachnophobia.
Yeah there's just something about it. Shelob from Lord Of The Rings never really bothered me but this Aragog is so creepy.

Any idea when you’ll be dropping some more exo force vids?👀👀
There'll be a smaller Exo-Force video coming in a few weeks 👀
I was hyped to get the new great hall but then I realised that I can actually finally get Gringotts instead soon! I’m so damn hyped. Maybe I’ll get the great hall in a future sale
I think you'll enjoy Gringotts a lot more :)
@@CheeseyStudios I knew i had already committed once i started measuring my shelf space to see if where id put Gringotts 😂 Hopefully next week I’ll get it
Personally not the biggest fan of harry potter, but I want to get the Aragog set just for the pieces it comes with!
The spider is fine to use with other fantasy based themes. It is great that Harry Potter is available en masse in ordinary stores, which means you can pick them up at a discount to have relatively cheap pieces on occasion.
Me and my mother both love Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and we always joke around with Aragon and Aragog, now I don't know who's who.
Oh no 🤣
Funny how most Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw characters are unknown or "deep cuts"
It's one of the biggest flaws to Harry Potter as a series.
The new Dumbledore, troll and Snape look exquisite; might have to bricklink the Dumbledore...
Hopefully the aftermarket prices don't get too crazy on these guys. It's a great group of figures!
I love lego but i aint got enough room

New big fig is a total win
I always figured they'd make him brick-built! Glad the mountain troll got the deluxe treatment here

Yeah! It's crazy that piece is still in production. Just saw it in a DreamZzZ set I was building yesterday too 🤣
Are you planning on doing Lego Minecraft: The End?
I'd consider it if it ever got a major in-game update!
I love new big fig😁😁😁
It is quite fun 😂
Sadly cost too much to get into this set. But man I'm getting the ship and mandrake at least this year
Hopefully they go on sale before too long. Both of those sets are awesome, and you'll enjoy them a lot!
you got a lot of Weasleys
Ginger Ginger Weasley Weasley
yep
it's quite the sea of red heads

Great video but the best minifigure is Olivander
He does look pretty awesome
The troll would be 10/10 if it had bigfig head/ or normal head even.
This one looks way too realistic in shame and just clashes with Lego style
Those sets look awesome, but I didnt watch any Harry Potter movies so I dont know what all the things mean😂
The movies are well worth your time - they range from good to great!
damn cant believe i lost an arm and a leg, but hey atleast the lego sets are cool
so worth
I have a question- why are people so interested in Minifigures? IMO, they are often the least interesting parts of sets, unless they have a really cool accessory. Is it because of collection purposes?

You call em minifigures but they look like shrunken Playmobil men to me.
Wth
Shrunken playmobil, that comment is gold :)
So they can give madame maxime avatar arms and legs but not sauron?
🤦
Personally I'm really glad they didn't do that for Sauron - the proportions are just too weird. Love having a standard minifigure for such an iconic character
@@CheeseyStudios I get that... but I HAVE to see what it'd look like in comparison. Sauron is crazy tall compared to a human, I think he could pull it off. The printing would have to be top notch all through the limbs though. Maybe I will do a figbash in the future just to get an idea.
