Rarity
Common to Uncommon; it was widely available but specifically tied to a popular entry-level set and a promotional polybag.
Head
Light flesh tone with printed round glasses and a lightning bolt scar. It features a dual-sided face with a neutral/slight smile and a worried expression. Hair is a black, messy texture mold (part 36240).
Torso
Dark red open plaid shirt over a Medium Blue t-shirt. The plaid pattern includes Dark Blue and Orange-ish lines. High-quality pad printing on the front and back showing jacket seams.
Legs
Tan (Dark Tan) short legs, signifying the character's young age (Year 1). These are static, non-bending short legs.
Accessories
Includes a standard reddish-brown wand. In its original set, it also came with 'Hedwig' the owl and a small luggage cart.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Dark Red and Tan, with accents of Medium Blue and Black. It represents Harry's 'muggle' attire from the beginning of the first film.
Printing Details
High detail pad printing on the torso (front and back). The face print is sharp, featuring the updated 2018-era aesthetic for the glasses and pupils.
Variants
Very similar to several 'Young Harry' variants, but distinguished by the specific dark red plaid pattern and tan leg combination over the blue shirt.
Condition Notes
Check for 'neck cracks' in the torso and bite marks on the short legs. The hair piece can sometimes show white stress marks if pried off aggressively.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD. New/Mint: $6.00 - $10.00 USD. Value is stable due to the high volume of sets produced.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 75950 for $14.99 and polybag 30407 for $3.99.
Compatible Sets
75950 Aragog\'s Lair (2018) and 30407 Harry\'s Journey to Hogwarts - Polybag (2018).
Character Background
Represents Harry Potter as he appears in 'The Sorcerer\'s Stone' specifically during his journey to Hogwarts and the encounter with Aragog (creative license).
Design Notes
This figure marked the transition back to flesh-colored skin for the HP theme and the introduction of the new more detailed messy hair mold.
Similar Minifigures
hp175 (Harry with Blue Jacket), hp395 (Harry with Gryffindor Sweater), and hp140 (Cmf Harry Potter).
Collectibility
Moderate; essential for fans of the first film, though common enough that it is not considered a high-value investment piece.
History
Part of the 2018 'Wizarding World' relaunch which modernized the scale and printing of the characters after a long hiatus since 2011.
Interesting Facts
The shirt design is highly accurate to the oversized 'Dudley hand-me-down' clothing Harry wears in the earliest scenes of the film franchise.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Diagon Alley or Forbidden Forest MOC. Pairs perfectly with the 2018 Ron Weasley or Hagrid figures.
Modification Potential
The torso is excellent for custom 'City' theme civilians or 1990s-era MOCs due to the generic plaid style.
Overall Assessment
A solid, era-defining minifigure for the modern Harry Potter collector. It captures the character's 'Year 1' innocence and vulnerability perfectly.
