Harry Potter
Year Released
2010 (Set 4842)
Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to certain sets during the second wave of LEGO Harry Potter, it was produced in relatively high numbers compared to earlier versions.
Head
White head with unique Voldemort face printing: sunken grey eyes, high cheekbones, no nose (slit nostrils), and a wicked grin showing teeth and a small tongue.
Torso
Black torso with simple V-neck robe printing in dark grey/dark green highlights. Includes black arms and white hands.
Legs
Black 2x2x2 slope brick (item 6041) representing a long formal robe, without printing.
Accessories
Usually paired with a white wand (the Elder Wand). Note: The accessory is missing in the provided image.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic: predominantly black and white with subtle grey/greenish highlights on the chest and face detailing.
Printing Details
Simple but effective pad printing on the head and torso front. No back printing was standard for this era and version. Alignment is typical of 2010 quality controls.
Variants
Variants include the 2005 glow-in-the-dark version (hp068), the 2011 version with a slightly different robe, and the modern 2018+ dual-molded leg versions.
Condition Notes
The white head and hands are prone to dirt buildup and yellowing if exposed to UV light. The black robe slope piece often shows light scratches or 'scuffing'.
Estimated Value
Used: $8 - $12 USD; New: $15 - $20 USD. The value is relatively stable compared to more rare HP variants.
Price (New)
Released in set 4842 (Hogwarts Castle) which retailed for $129.99 in 2010.
Compatible Sets
4842-1 Hogwarts Castle (2010), 10217-1 Diagon Alley (2011).
Character Background
The primary antagonist of the Harry Potter series, Tom Riddle, known as Lord Voldemort. This look represents his resurrected form from the later films.
Design Notes
This was the first version to move away from the 'Glow in the Dark' gimmick and use a standard white head to better match the film's aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
hp068 (2005 version), hp197 (2019 version), and 'He Who Must Not Be Named' variants from various CMF series.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is an essential figure for any Harry Potter collector, though the newer versions are considered more detailed.
History
Followed the 2001-2005 run. This specific 2010 version marked the revitalization of the HP line ahead of the final film releases.
Interesting Facts
Despite having no nose in the films, LEGO designers use faint grey slits to imply nostrils without breaking the classic minifigure face template.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Death Eaters or in a duel scene with the 2010-era Harry Potter. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent white parts from yellowing.
Modification Potential
The head is frequently used for custom 'Pale' characters or ghouls. The slope brick can be easily swapped for traditional legs for more mobility.
Overall Assessment
A classic 'mid-era' LEGO figure. While missing its wand in the photo, the print and plastic quality represent a significant jump from early 2000s versions.
