Harry Potter
Year Released
2018; released as part of the first wave of the rebooted Harry Potter theme coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the books in some regions.
Rarity
Uncommon; exclusive to a single larger set (75954 Hogwarts Great Hall), though widely available during its shelf life.
Head
Light flesh, dual-sided printing: one side features a stern, authoritative expression with thin lips, the other a warmer, slight smile. Shared with other flesh-toned McGonagall variants.
Torso
Dark green with detailed robe printing. The design includes a black undershirt, silver brooch at the collar, and intricate 'emerald' swirl patterns meant to simulate velvet texture.
Legs
Dark green with printing that continues the robe pattern from the torso down through the hip and the front of the legs. This creates a cohesive full-robe look.
Accessories
Includes a black pointed witch's hat (mold 6131). While not shown with all accessories in the image, it officially comes with a reddish-brown wand and often a 'trans-bright green' cat representing her Animagus form.
Color Scheme
Primarily dark green (Earth Green) for the robes, accented with black and silver detailing. Flesh-toned skin and a black hat.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back, as well as the legs and dual-sided head. The intricate line work on the robes is highly detailed for this era.
Variants
Distinct from the earlier yellow-skinned version (hp021) and the later school-uniform versions or the 2021 anniversary version (hp300) which has a new hat-hair piece mold.
Condition Notes
The dark green plastic is resilient, but the tip of the pointed hat is a common point for paint rubbing or stress marks. Print on the torso/legs should be checked for fading.
Estimated Value
Used: $8 - $12 USD; New: $15 - $20 USD. Value is stable as she is a core character for any Hogwarts display.
Price (New)
N/A individually; part of set 75954 which retailed for $99.99 USD.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Professor of Transfiguration, Head of Gryffindor House, and Deputy Headmistress at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Known for her strict but fair demeanor.
Design Notes
This 2018 version marked a significant upgrade in print detail compared to the 2010 version, utilizing the new color palette and more realistic facial features.
Similar Minifigures
hp021 McGonagall (Classic), hp300 (2021 Anniversary version with hair/hat piece), and other Hogwarts staff like Dumbledore (hp147).
Collectibility
High; as a key member of the Hogwarts staff, she is essential for collectors completing the Great Hall or teachers' lounge scenes.
History
First debuted in 2001 in yellow skin; this 2018 version represents the modern standard for the character's appearance in her signature emerald robes.
Interesting Facts
The emerald green of her robes is a specific nod to her description in the books, whereas many other character designs pull more heavily from the films' darker palettes.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed at a teacher's podium or alongside Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape in a Hogwarts classroom or Great Hall MOC.
Modification Potential
The head and hat are excellent for custom witch figures; the dark green robes can be used for noble or wizarding backgrounds in Castle/Fantasy themes.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Harry Potter minifigure. Excellent print quality and character accuracy make it the 'definitive' McGonagall for many collectors.
