Ah but arn't Minifigs already 2 or 3 times as wide as an average person (at
scale of course). Sometimes I laugh at discussions about scale using LEGO.
Mainly because most scale discussions start with a Minifig and working from
their. To me that makes it a flawed discussion from the start because Minifigs
themselves are not to scale with an average human.
To me Minifig scale is a purely fictional scale in itself. Most modern LEGO
vehicles can only hold 1 fig across where there real life counterparts to those
vehicles usually hold at least 2 people across. Thats when you talk about
cars. Don't even get me started with airplanes.
As far as Hagrid goes I don't know him or his importance to Harry Potter as I
have not read the books. If he/she/it is important enough to the storyline
that TLC thinks they have to do it then my guess is that it will be a special
mold for the character like the Rock Monster although I doubt it will be 2xH
and 5xW to a Minifig.
