The 108th American International Toy Fair is currently under way in New York City this weekend, and SnitchSeeker was on site to get the latest information in a variety of Harry Potter-related new merchandise set to be released later this year to tie in with the opening of the eighth and final installment of the film series,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, out in July.
LEGO will be releasing three new sets this June, including the Forbidden Forest set, from the famous "The Forest Again" chapter of
Deathly Hallows, where Voldemort and Harry face off. The set features a forest tree, Voldemort and Harry with wands at the ready, and Bellatrix Lestrange, Nagini the snake, and Hagrid in the background. The second
Deathly Hallows: Part II-related
LEGO set is the aptly-named Battle of Hogwarts; the set includes two Hogwarts turrets and Astronomy Tower, and a variety of characters including Harry, Neville Longbottom, Remus Lupin, Lucius Malfoy, Professor McGonagall, Gregory Goyle, and a dementor. The third and final set is actually the Knight Bus set from
Prisoner of Azkaban, featuring Harry, Stan Shunpike, and driver Ernie Prang before the huge three-decker bus. A video of the set at the Toy Fair, and numerous photos, can be found below and in our
galleries.
ScreenLife, the makers of the Scene It? DVD games (who released the
first and
second edition Harry Potter games), announced that they will be releasing a third Harry Potter film game, this time encompassing the entire eight-film series. The third edition, titled "The Complete Cinematic Journey" will feature images and clips from all the films, including
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. The set will be available for purchase in August 2011, SnitchSeeker can confirm. Photos of the cover set can be seen here.
