Light flesh, dual-sided: one side with a slight smile and round wire glasses, the other with a determined/frustrated expression. Classic lightning bolt scar included. Messy black hairpiece introduced in 2018.

Accessories
Standard 2018-mold wand in reddish brown. These wands were introduced with the 2018 reboot, featuring a handle end and a tapered tip.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Blue and Medium Nougat, with accents of Flesh and Dark Gray. Represents Harry's casual muggle-world clothing during the hunt for Horcruxes.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso (front/back) and head. Clean lines on the zipper and glasses. No leg or arm printing is present on this specific version.
Variants
Similar versions exist with different colored shirts (hp175) or with smaller 'short' legs (hp140) to represent earlier year versions.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include neck cracks on the torso and hair looseness. The dark blue torso shows scratches/scuffs more easily than lighter colors. Check for 'bite marks' on the soft plastic wand.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New: $6.00 - $8.00 USD. Value is steady but low due to high availability.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $20.00 (75950) to $70.00 (75953) at retail. CMF versions of Harry sold for $3.99, though this specific outfit was set-based.
Compatible Sets
75953 Hogwarts Whomping Willow, 75950 Aragog's Lair, 40289 Diagon Alley (Microscale promotional).
Character Background
Based on Harry Potter as seen in the later films (Deathly Hallows), wearing muggle clothing while traveling and adventuring rather than Hogwarts robes.
Design Notes
This figure marked the transition to the 'new' aesthetic of Harry Potter LEGO, featuring more realistic hairpieces and skin tones compared to the 2001-2011 runs.
Similar Minifigures
hp140 (Harry with shorter legs), hp175 (Harry with blue shirt), hp244 (Harry from 75968).
Collectibility
High for completionists, but low as a 'grail' item. It is an essential basic figure for any modern Harry Potter collection.
History
Part of the massive 2018 Wizarding World reboot which updated all character designs from the original 'yellow' and 'early flesh' eras.
Interesting Facts
The jacket torso is highly versatile and frequently used by MOC builders for urban-themed custom minifigures because it lacks specific 'Harry' iconography like the Gryffindor crest.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Ron and Hermione in their casual 'woods' outfits from the Deathly Hallows or in front of the Whomping Willow set.
Modification Potential
Excellent; legs can be swapped for dark tan or black for different outfits. The torso is excellent for custom 'City' theme civilians.
Overall Assessment
A solid, standard-issue minifigure that accurately captures Harry's look from the second half of the film series. High quality but very common.
