Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back. Face printing is sharp with metallic-look glasses frames. No leg or arm printing.
Variants

Character Background
Harry Potter is the protagonist of J.K. Rowling's series. This figure represents him during his first year at Hogwarts, specifically the sorting ceremony scene.
Design Notes
The 2018 relaunch introduced the new 'Short Wand' mold and updated the head prints to move away from the classic 2010 stylings toward more screen-accurate features.
Similar Minifigures
hp140 (Harry with hair), hp175 (Harry with Gryffindor sweater), hp153 (Harry with casual clothes).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a staple figure for any Potterhead, though its high availability keeps the investment upside relatively low compared to retired exclusives.
History
This figure marked the triumphant return of the Harry Potter theme in 2018 after a long hiatus since 2011, establishing the 'New' standard for HP minifigures.
Interesting Facts
The Sorting Hat piece used here was a brand new mold in 2018, featuring a texture that mimics the folds of the face seen in the films.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a beige baseplate inside a Hogwarts MOC or alongside other first-year students like Ron and Hermione in front of a Great Hall facade.
Modification Potential
The torso is excellent for MOCing other Gryffindor students. The head can be swapped with posable 'mid-legs' to represent a Year 3 version of Harry.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Harry Potter minifigure. Excellent print quality and a fantastic unique mold for the Sorting Hat make this a core piece of any modern Wizarding World collection.
