Figure ID
hp094
Theme
Harry Potter
Year Released
2010. Released during the first major 'reboot' wave of the Harry Potter theme, coinciding with the transition to more detailed printing styles.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited edition, this specific torso variant was only available in one set (4841 Hogwarts Express).
Head
Double-sided head; one side features a determined/confident expression, the other a scared/shouting expression with glasses and the signature lightning bolt scar. Note: The provided image is missing the head and hair pieces.
Torso
White V-neck sweater over a white collared shirt and black tie. Features a small Gryffindor crest on the left chest and subtle grey crease lines. Includes white arms and black hands. The back is unprinted.
Legs
Dark bluish gray, standard adult-sized legs without printing.
Accessories
Typically packaged with a reddish-brown wand (30374). Since this is from the 2010 era, it often appeared with the 'new' wand mold introduced that year.
Color Scheme
Primary white and dark bluish grey, with black, gold, and red accents within the crest and tie printing.
Printing Details
Sharp pad printing on the front torso. The crest is highly detailed despite its small size. This era marked a significant improvement in the crispness of neckline prints.
Variants
Standard Harry Potter figures usually wear school robes (black). This 'civilian' outfit variant is specifically based on the scene involving the Dementor attack on the Hogwarts Express.
Condition Notes
White torsos are highly susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check for 'neck cracks' (vertical splits in the plastic) and friction wear on the hip joints. The hands are black, which can show white stress marks if accessories are forced in.
Estimated Value
$4.00 - $7.00 for the torso and legs alone. A complete Harry Potter hp094 figure in good condition typically sells for $12.00 - $18.00 USD.
Price (New)
N/A (Included in set 4841 Hogwarts Express, which retailed for $79.99 in 2010).
Compatible Sets
4841 Hogwarts Express (2010).
Character Background
Harry Potter as he appears at the beginning of the 'Prisoner of Azkaban' film. This outfit represents his travel clothes to Hogwarts rather than his formal school uniform.
Design Notes
This design was a departure from the earlier 2004 light-blue jersey version. It uses a cleaner, more modern graphic design language that defined the 2010-2011 Harry Potter wave.
Similar Minifigures
hp117 (Harry Potter with blue jacket), hp037 (Harry Potter in blue sweater), and any standard Gryffindor student in robes (hp093).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a desirable variant for Harry Potter completionists, though later 'civilian' Harry figures have since been released with even more detail (like leg printing).
History
Follows the evolution of Harry from the 2001 yellow-skin era to the 2004 flesh-tone transition, landing in the 2010 high-detail era. This figure was replaced by the 2018 reboot designs.
Interesting Facts
The crest on this torso is so small that the lion of Gryffindor is essentially a gold blob, yet it is instantly recognizable to fans due to the color blocking.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside or next to a LEGO Hogwarts Express. Use a clear 1x2 brick to elevate him if posing with a Dementor (hp101) from the same set.
Modification Potential
The sweater torso is highly versatile for creating MOC (My Own Creation) private school students or professional characters in 'business casual' attire.
Overall Assessment
The figure in the image is an incomplete Harry Potter hp094 torso and leg assembly. While the torso is in good condition, the lack of the unique 2010 Harry head and hair piece significantly reduces its value to a collector.
