OK, so I did this a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have my old digital
camera set up until recently, so here goes...

My take on the Harry Potter minifig.

The photos:

1) Harry as he would be in his Muggle clothing, from the book illustrations,
waiting at the station.

2) Harry at Hogwarts from the movie trailer.

3) Harry on his broom.

4) Harry with his wand (boy, I hope they make a new wand for the sets...the
star just ain't doing it for me).

5) My original Illustrator art for the Harry fig...I wanted to do a scarf
like the movie, but couldn't make it work. Also, note the cloak...it's a
LEGO cape-and-a-half that I made up. They would neve make it though, since
it requires the removal of the arms to make it work right. Also, note the
Hogwarts crest on the chest...just like the movie cloaks.

6) A close up of the face to show the details. BTW, the hair I used on the
fig is the ponytail girl hair piece with the ponytail lopped off. I sculpted
a custom hairpiece out of Sculpy, but it looked just like this when I was
done, so I figured "what the heck".

WoW, that’s a fabulous ‘cloak!’ it's Star Wars caliber… Perhaps in early 2002 with the second installment of Star Wars, Lego may introduce cloaks to supplement the minifig garb instead producing those ubiquitous black capes. Oh, and the face is (...) (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.starwars)

(...) totally satisfied. Which, of course, means they'll find a way to botch it up. :D eric (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) Looks cool, all we need now is Hedwig. I don't know how they would do Hagrid though. He'd probably have to be the size of two minifigs. mark (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

That Potter is darn near perfect. I like the angle of the white scar, and the expression on his face is classic. It makes me want to go and scalp all my female mini-figs...resist, resist. mo www.galacticbrick.com Your Star Wars LEGO Connection (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) These rock! I think you have predicted what Harry will look like pretty closely. If I am wrong, I will be bumming!!! ++Lar (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

Hey Matthew! Just wanted to echo what everyone said here - *wow*. Good stuff. I really like your designs, and I too hope that TLC's designs are somewhat similar to yours. All the best... -Shiri (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

In an interesting turn of events, it looks like your minifig MOC is being mistaken for the official Harry Potter minifig! I visit filforce.ign.com on a fairly regular basis, looking for general movie news, and this morning I saw a headline saying (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
