Character Background
Headmaster of Hogwarts. This specific design reflects Michael Gambon's portrayal after taking over the role from Richard Harris.
Design Notes
Notable for using the slope piece instead of legs to represent robes, and for being one of the earliest HP figures to switch to flesh tones.

Collectibility
High for Potter completionists due to its unique transitional era status and exclusive lavender color palette.
History
Represents the second generation of Dumbledore figures, moving away from the bright yellow 'classic' LEGO look toward licensed realism.
Interesting Facts
This minifigure's lavender color is relatively rare for torso pieces from this era, making it a favorite for custom builders.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the 2004 'Prisoner of Azkaban' cast or within a Great Hall diorama using vintage tan bricks.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are excellent for custom old-man figures; the lavender slope piece is highly useful for MOC royalty or mages.
