Harry Potter
Year Released
2018. This figure debuted in the Great Hall set, marking the revival of the Harry Potter license after a seven-year hiatus. It introduced a new 'mid-size' scale for Hagrid, replacing the older, larger molded versions.
Rarity
Uncommon. While it appeared in high-volume sets like the Great Hall, it is an essential character that was later replaced by variants with different torso prints, making this specific original 2018 version slightly more sought after.
Head
Light Nougat head with thick Dark Brown hair and beard combination (one single large mold). The face features a friendly expression with dark brown eyebrows and a bushy beard that covers the neck area.
Torso
The figure uses a unique large-scale torso/coat piece. It is Medium Nougat with a Dark Purple vest, a Dark Red shirt peek, and a Dark Brown belt with a silver oval buckle. Front and back printing includes coat pocket and fabric fold details.
Legs
Dark Brown short legs (non-posable) which are attached to the bottom of the large torso-wrap piece to give Hagrid his signature tall and broad stature without being a full 'big-fig'.
Accessories
Includes the iconic pink umbrella (used to hide his wand pieces) and a black lantern with a trans-yellow round 1x1 brick inside. These are character-accurate staples for Hagrid.
Color Scheme
Earth tones dominated by Medium Nougat (coat) and Dark Brown (hair/legs), accented by a splash of Dark Purple and Dark Red for his inner clothing layer.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the oversized torso component. It features clean lines on the belt buckle and subtle shading for the pockets. There is no printing on the legs or the back of the head due to the hair mold.
Variants
Variants include hp009 (original yellow, 2001), hp111 (tan coat), and hp234 (reindeer sweater). This specific version (hp144) is distinguished by the Dark Purple vest and silver buckle.
Condition Notes
The primary concern is the hair/beard piece, which can collect dust in the deep grooves. Check for 'play wear' on the pink umbrella handle and ensuring the lantern handle isn't stressed or cracked.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD | New: $10 - $14 USD. Values are stable as Hagrid is a foundational character for any Potter collection.
Price (New)
Originally available in Set 75954 (Hogwarts Great Hall) for $99.99 and Set 75956 (Quidditch Match) for $39.99.

Character Background
Rubeus Hagrid is the Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. A half-giant with a love for dangerous creatures, he is Harry's first introduction to the wizarding world and remains a loyal friend throughout the series.
Design Notes
This design was a significant upgrade in 2018. It utilized a 'minifigure-scale' head and arms but a custom molded body 'shroud' that fits over a standard torso to create weight and height while remaining compatible with standard studs.
Similar Minifigures
Similar to hp009 (2001 classic Hagrid) and the newer Hagrid found in the Hagrid's Hut: An Unexpected Visit (2024).
Collectibility
High. Every Harry Potter collector needs a Hagrid, and this 2018 version is considered the 'standard' modern representation of the character.
History
Hagrid was one of the first figures produced in 2001. After the 2011-2017 hiatus, this 2018 version redefined how LEGO handles 'large' humanoids, moving away from specialized arm molds to standard minifig arms for better playability.
Interesting Facts
The pink umbrella accessory is a deep-lore reference to Hagrid's wand being snapped and hidden within the umbrella's frame, allowing him to perform magic (illegally) while serving as groundskeeper.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the core trio (Harry, Ron, Hermione) or in front of a Hogwarts Castle MOC. Using a 2x2 jumper plate helps stabilize his wider footprint.
Modification Potential
The arms and hands are standard LEGO parts and can be swapped easily to give him different colored shirts or gloves. The hair/beard piece is often used by MOC builders for custom dwarves or wildmen.
Overall Assessment
An excellent and essential figure. It perfectly captures Robbie Coltrane's likeness through its unique scale and iconic accessories. A must-buy for anyone starting a Wizarding World collection.
