Year Released

Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited convention exclusive, it was only available in one specific advent calendar set (75981) for a single holiday season.
Head
Light flesh tone, dual-sided with a smiling expression and a worried/unhappy expression. Features bushy brown hair piece (Part 20857).
Torso
Dark green torso with a 'Fair Isle' Christmas sweater print featuring white and dark red patterns. Dark green arms and light flesh hands.
Legs
Short, non-poseable dark bluish gray legs, representing her younger appearance in the first few films.
Accessories
Standard tan-colored wand (Part 6124). In the original set context, she was accompanied by buildable Yule Ball/holiday themed micro-builds.
Color Scheme
Primarily dark green and dark bluish gray, with festive red and white accents in the torso printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front of the torso. No arm or side leg printing. The facial print is sharp and uses the modern 'fleshie' aesthetic standard for the theme.
Variants
This is a seasonal variant. Other Hermione versions include her school robes, Yule Ball dress (hp202), and casual wear (hp182). This specific Christmas sweater is unique to hp252.
Condition Notes
Watch for tiny cracks at the heels of the short legs and torso side-seams. The tan wand is prone to chew marks or bending due to the soft plastic used.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $4.00 - $7.00 USD for a used complete figure, and $8.00 - $12.00 USD for new condition.
Price (New)
Included in set 75981 which retailed for $39.99 USD. The price-per-minifigure reflected the value of the 24 daily builds included.

Character Background
Hermione Granger, the brightest witch of her age. This outfit represents a cozy, casual holiday look seen during the winter months at Hogwarts.
Design Notes
The sweater pattern is a deliberate 'homely' design meant to evoke the feel of the Harry Potter holiday season. It utilizes the standard 2018-era Hermione head mold.

Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'must-have' for completionists specializing in the Harry Potter theme or those who collect every iteration of the main trio.
History
Part of the second-ever Harry Potter themed advent calendar. It marked a shift toward providing exclusive 'civilian' variants of characters in these seasonal sets.
Interesting Facts
The sweater design actually resembles traditional winter attire more than the hand-knitted 'R' and 'H' sweaters famously given by Mrs. Weasley.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Great Hall winter MOC or on a dedicated Advent Calendar baseplate alongside the 2020 Harry and Ron figures.
Modification Potential
The torso is highly versatile for Christmas-themed MOCs or custom 'ugly sweater' party scenes in a LEGO City layout.
Overall Assessment
A charming and affordable variant of a central character. Its unique torso print makes it a standout for holiday-themed displays despite its commonality.
