Character Background
Arthur Weasley is the patriarch of the Weasley family, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and works for the Ministry of Magic in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office.
Design Notes
First introduction of the white 'swept back' hair mold for this character to signify his older age and thinning hair, contrasting with the vibrant orange hair of his children.
Similar Minifigures
Other 2010 Harry Potter figures such as hp095 (Molly Weasley) and hp096 (Bellatrix Lestrange). Design-wise, he is similar to other 'generic' dad figures but with magical charm.
Collectibility
High for Harry Potter completionists. This 2010 wave is considered a 'Golden Age' for the theme's reboot, making the original Weasley parents highly sought after.
History
This figure marked the transition of the Harry Potter theme from the older 2000s aesthetic to the higher-detail modern era before the theme went on hiatus in 2012.
Interesting Facts
The white hair piece is historically used for older characters like Professor Dumbledore, suggesting LEGO designers wanted to emphasize Arthur's maturity compared to his earlier appearances.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the 4840 Burrow or within a Ministry of Magic MOC. Keep in a UV-protected case to prevent the delicate olive green printing from fading.
Modification Potential
The head is frequently used for custom 'grandfather' minifigures or office worker MOCs due to the realistic glasses and 'surprised' expression.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Harry Potter minifigure that captures the charm of the character perfectly. Essential for collectors of the 2010-2011 wave.
