Harry Potter
Year Released
Released in 2018 as part of the Wizarding World relaunch, appearing in the LEGO Harry Potter / Fantastic Beasts Collectible Minifigure Series (71022).
Rarity
Uncommon. As a blind-bagged Collectible Minifigure (CMF), it was widely available at retail, but is now retired and must be sourced from the secondary market.
Head
Light Flesh head with a brown beard and mustache printing. It features a dual-sided print: one side with a calm, stoic expression and the other with a slightly concerned or alert look.
Torso
Light Bluish Gray suit jacket/vest. The printing features a dark red and gold tie, a patterned waistcoat (sweater vest), and a subtle grey pinstripe jacket texture. Back printing includes the continuation of the jacket seams. Light Flesh hands.
Legs
Plain Light Bluish Gray legs matching the suit jacket. No printing on the legs or hips.
Accessories
As an incomplete figure in the image, it is missing its original accessories: a black wand and a small book (printed tile) representing a Hogwarts textbook.
Color Scheme
Primarily Light Bluish Gray with Light Flesh skin tones. Accents include Dark Red and Metallic Gold in the tie and vest detailing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the 2018 CMF line. Detail is concentrated on the torso vest and the facial hair, which has fine line work to simulate texture.
Variants
This is the only version of 'Young' Dumbledore from the Fantastic Beasts era released in the CMF line. Other versions of Dumbledore exist but represent his older self from the Harry Potter era.
Condition Notes
Typical wear includes 'neck marks' from turning the head and potential loose arm joints. In the photo, the figure is missing its hair piece (a short, dark brown hair element). Check the hands for small cracks at the wrist.
Estimated Value
Complete with hair and accessories: $5.00 - $8.00 USD. In the current incomplete state (missing hair/wand/book), value is approximately $2.00 - $3.00 USD.
Price (New)
Original retail price was $3.99 USD per blind bag in 2018.

Character Background
This represents Jude Law's portrayal of Albus Dumbledore in 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.' At this time, he was the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, long before becoming Headmaster.
Design Notes
The design accurately captures the character's dapper, more modern aesthetic compared to the robes of the Harry Potter era. The use of 'Light Flesh' marks the transition to licensed skin tones that began in 2004.
Similar Minifigures
Newt Scamander (hp143), Percival Graves (hp150), and various versions of the older Albus Dumbledore (e.g., hp141 or hp086).
Collectibility
Moderate. While not the most valuable figure in the Series 1 CMF, he is a primary character and essential for fans of the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
History
This figure was a milestone as it was the first time LEGO produced a Young Dumbledore, bridging the gap between the established Harry Potter line and the prequel films.
Interesting Facts
This figure's torso is often used by fans for custom 'civilian' or 'professor' minifigures due to the generic but detailed nature of the grey suit printing.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Newt Scamander or against a Hogwarts-themed MOC. Due to the light flesh tones, keep out of direct sunlight to prevent UV discoloration.
Modification Potential
High. The torso and legs are excellent 'purist' parts for creating 1920s-1940s era custom characters.
Overall Assessment
A solid, screen-accurate representation of a major character. While currently easy to find, the unique torso printing makes it a useful addition to any Wizarding World collection.
