Year Released
Released in 2021 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the LEGO Harry Potter theme alongside the revamped Hogwarts Castle sets.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While mass-produced in specific sets, it was a limited-run anniversary exclusive that will not be reproduced in future waves.
Head
Pearl Gold head with reddish-brown printing. One side features a slight smile with glasses and the lightning bolt scar; the other side features a shocked expression.
Torso
Pearl Gold torso with reddish-brown printing of the Gryffindor sweater, house crest, and sparkles to denote a 'golden' effect. Pearl Gold arms and hands.
Legs
Pearl Gold short legs (fixed/non-posable type) with simple belt line printing at the hip.
Accessories
Originally included a Pearl Gold wand and a 20th Anniversary display stand (dark tan/black base with printed plate). The figure in the image is missing these accessories.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Pearl Gold. Accent printing is in Dark Brown and Metallic Gold to provide contrast for the facial and clothing details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head (dual-sided) and torso front. Back printing is also present on the torso. The sparkling star patterns are a unique 20th Anniversary touch.
Variants
This is a unique commemorative variant. It differs from standard Harry Potter figures (like hp175 or hp233) by utilizing a monochromatic gold aesthetic similar to trophies.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to 'swirly' patterns in the pearl plastic. Common wear points include the neck post (cracking) and the gold paint on the torso wearing off with play. Current image shows good print retention.
Estimated Value
Approximately $5.00 - $8.00 USD used and complete; $10.00 - $12.00 USD new/unassembled. Value is slightly lower for loose figures without the wand or stand.
Price (New)
Included in set 76386 Hogwarts: Polyjuice Potion Mistake which retailed for $19.99 USD. Not sold individually.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Representing the 'Boy Who Lived' in a trophy-style format to celebrate two decades of the LEGO theme based on the Wizarding World.
Design Notes
Uses the modern short-hair piece mold in Pearl Gold. The design aesthetic was inspired by the limited edition gold 14k C-3PO but made accessible to the general public for the anniversary.
Similar Minifigures
Other golden anniversary figures: Hermione Granger (hp306), Ron Weasley (hp307), Lord Voldemort (hp308), Severus Snape (hp309), and Albus Dumbledore (hp310).
Collectibility
High. Collectors often seek to complete the set of six anniversary figures. Stable investment potential as a milestone release.
History
First and only release of this specific golden mold in 2021. This follows the tradition of NinjaGo's 10th-anniversary golden figures released the same year.
Interesting Facts
The printing on the back includes a 20th Anniversary logo. This set (76386) was the most affordable way to get one of the golden figures.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a dedicated LEGO Harry Potter anniversary display case. Pair with the other 5 golden figures and the Hogwarts modular sets.
Modification Potential
Low for purists, but the gold hair piece is frequently used by MOC builders to represent statues or golden idols in adventure builds.
Overall Assessment
An iconic commemorative figure with excellent pearl gold finish. While the base character is common, this anniversary variant is a 9/10 must-have for Harry Potter fans.
