Theme
Harry Potter
Year Released
2018; released during the massive Harry Potter theme revival which introduced the modern 'short wand' piece and more detailed torso prints.
Rarity
Common; this figure appeared in the widely distributed Great Hall set and was later available through more accessible entry points.
Head
Light flesh tone with a stern/smirking expression. Features light yellow eyebrows and a dual-sided head with a scared/frightened expression on the reverse. Dark Tan hair piece in a swept-back style.
Torso
Dark bluish gray V-neck sweater over a white shirt with a green and silver striped Slytherin tie. Features a small Slytherin crest on the left chest and green horizontal stripes at the waist. Plain dark bluish gray arms and light flesh hands.
Legs
Black Short Legs (non-posable), representing his younger appearance in the earlier films (years 1-2).
Accessories
Standard modern-style LEGO wand in dark brown. This specific wand design debuted in 2018 with a slightly tapered, ergonomic handle.
Color Scheme
A sophisticated palette of Dark Bluish Gray, Black, and Light Flesh, accented with Slytherin's signature Emerald Green and Silver/Light Gray.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front and back of the torso. The back features subtle sweater knitting lines. Alignment is typically very precise for this era of production.
Variants
Variants of Draco exist with long legs (older version), Quidditch robes, and the 2010 version which had a different hair mold and different face print.
Condition Notes
Main wear points are the light flesh hands (which can loosen or crack) and the hair piece, which is prone to small scratches. The print on the tie is durable but can fade with heavy play.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New: $6.00 - $8.00 USD. Value is kept low due to high production volume.
Price (New)
Originally included in sets ranging from the $14.99 polybags/small sets to the $99.99 Hogwarts Great Hall (75954).
Compatible Sets
75954 Hogwarts Great Hall (2018), 71043 Hogwarts Castle (microscale-adjacent promotion), and various Harry Potter Activity Books/Build Your Own Adventure packs.
Character Background
Harry Potter's rival at Hogwarts, a pure-blood wizard from the wealthy Malfoy family. This version represents him as a student during his first or second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Design Notes
The 2018 update significantly improved the house tie detail and modernized the hair accessory compared to the 2001 yellow-skin or 2010 flesh-skin versions.
Similar Minifigures
hp143 (Harry Potter), hp144 (Hermione Granger), and hp145 (Ron Weasley) all share the same sweater-style aesthetic and short legs from the 2018 wave.
Collectibility
Moderate; essential for completing the main student roster for the modern Hogwarts castle sub-theme, but not highly speculative or rare.
History
Draco was one of the first figures produced in 2001. This 2018 version marked a return to the character after a 7-year hiatus in the theme's production.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an antagonist, this version includes a 'scared' alternate face, likely referencing the Forbidden Forest scene in 'The Sorcerer's Stone'.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 2x3 brick tiered stand with other Slytherin students or placed inside the 75954 Great Hall set on one of the house tables.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The torso is a perfect 'blank' Slytherin uniform that can be used to create custom house students by swapping the head and hair.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential modern Harry Potter minifigure that perfectly captures the character's early film likeness. High quality and essential for fans of the franchise, though very affordable.
