Head
Light Flesh piece featuring Hermione's bushy brown hair mold (part 24855). The face has dual printing: one side with a slight smile and the other with a determined/worried expression. Features brown eyebrows and eyelashes.
Torso
Black robe over a light bluish gray sweater. The printing includes a white shirt, a dark red and gold Gryffindor tie, and a small Gryffindor crest on the left chest. The back is printed with the continuation of the robe's hood and seams.
Legs
Short, non-articulated black legs (part 4187). These represent the younger version of the character (Years 1-2).
Accessories
Typically includes a dark reddish brown wand (part 15429). The image shows the figure without held accessories, but it is compatible with standard wands and books.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Black, Light Bluish Gray, and Light Flesh, with Dark Red and Bright Light Orange accents representing the Gryffindor house colors.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head (dual-sided) and the torso (front and back). The alignment of the tie and crest is generally precise. No leg or arm printing is present on this specific variant.
Variants
There are dozens of Hermione variants. Key differences include 'Medium Legs' for middle-year films (hp312), 'Long Legs' for later films (hp260), and various civilian outfits (Yule Ball, casual wear). This version is the specific 'First Year' student variant.
Condition Notes
Watch for 'biting' marks on the soft plastic of the hair piece. The neck post can become loose over time, and the light flesh printing on the head is susceptible to fading if exposed to UV light for long periods.

Character Background
Hermione Granger is a muggle-born witch and one of the three main protagonists of the Harry Potter series. This figure represents her as a young student during her first years at Hogwarts.
Design Notes
The 2018 hair mold is a significant improvement over the 2001-2010 versions, offering a much more accurate 'bushy' texture as described in the books.
Similar Minifigures
hp153 (Harry Potter), hp154 (Ron Weasley) in the same 2018 student outfit; hp167 (Hermione, CMF Series 1).
Collectibility
High for completionists, but low for investors due to massive production numbers. It is an essential 'base' figure for any Hogwarts layout.
History
This figure marked the 2018 return of the Harry Potter license after a many-year hiatus, introducing the modernized aesthetic that persists in the line today.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an 'early year' figure, the torso print is so versatile it is often used by fans to create custom background Gryffindor students.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside 2018 versions of Harry and Ron in a Great Hall MOC or on a tiered minifigure stand featuring the evolution of the trio.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are frequently used for 'Muggle' MOCs. The torso is excellent for building out a larger Gryffindor student body.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential modern LEGO minifigure. While not rare, the design accurately captures Emma Watson's early portrayal of the character and remains a staple of the Wizarding World theme.
