Theme
Harry Potter
Year Released
2021 (Harry Potter Advent Calendar)
Rarity
Uncommon. Exclusive to the 2021 Advent Calendar (Set 76390). While produced in significant numbers for a single year, it was never released in any other set.
Head
Double-sided HP-specific skin tone head with medium nougat complexion; features Kingsley's trademark calm smile on one side and a more determined expression on the back. Topped with a dark brown/black textured hair piece with a small purple and gold cap (kufi) printed or molded on.
Torso
Red 'Ugly Christmas Sweater' pattern. The print features a stylized gold-colored Owl (Hedwig) in the center of a sweater knit pattern, decorated with white snowflakes and Christmas tree borders. Red arms and dark nougat hands.
Legs
Plain black standard-sized legs with no printing.
Accessories
Standard tan-colored magic wand. In the original advent calendar, he may have also been associated with a small tile or 'Chocolate Frog' card build, but the wand is the primary accessory.
Color Scheme
Bright red torso, black legs, and nougat skin tones. The sweater features gold, white, and dark red accents to mimic a knitted texture.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back). The knit pattern is very dense and precise, typical of modern LEGO seasonal 'ugly sweater' figures. Head features back printing.
Variants
None for this specific festive version. However, a standard 'movie-accurate' Kingsley Shacklebolt (hp231) exists with purple robes from the 2020 CMF Series 2.
Condition Notes
Watch for scratches on the torso print, especially the gold owl design. The dark nougat hands can sometimes show friction wear from holding the wand. Check for torso cracks on the sides, though less common on newer 2021 parts.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New (taken from sealed calendar): $7.00 - $10.00 USD. Prices are stable due to its seasonal nature.
Price (New)
The 76390 Advent Calendar retailed for $39.99 USD, containing 6 minifigures and various mini-builds.

Character Background
Kingsley Shacklebolt is a powerful Auror and member of the Order of the Phoenix who eventually becomes Minister for Magic. This version depicts him in a rare, non-canonical festive outfit for the holidays at Hogwarts.
Design Notes
A creative 'what-if' design. The use of the gold owl on the sweater is a clever nod to the Wizarding World mail system. It reuses the head and hair mold from the CMF series but puts them on a completely unique seasonal torso.
Similar Minifigures
Ron Weasley (Red Sweater), Harry Potter (Blue Sweater), Hermione Granger (Seasonal Sweater), and other members of the 2021-2023 festive Harry Potter lineups.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a must-have for completionist Harry Potter collectors or those who collect the specific niche of 'LEGO Star Wars and Harry Potter Ugly Sweater' figures.
History
Part of LEGO's tradition of including exclusive festive-themed characters in holiday calendars, a trend that began heavily in the Star Wars line before migrating to Harry Potter in 2019.
Interesting Facts
Kingsley is one of the few high-ranking Ministry officials to receive a 'silly' seasonal variant. The sweater design was part of a unified aesthetic for the 2021 calendar characters.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a winter-themed Hogsmeade or Great Hall MOC. Pairs perfectly with the 2021 festive Hermione and Harry figures.
Modification Potential
The red sweater torso is highly versatile for any 'Winter Village' or City-themed holiday MOC, as the owl isn't overbearingly 'Harry Potter' to casual viewers.
Overall Assessment
A charming and affordable exclusive. While not as valuable as a rare CMF, its unique printing and character choice make it a highlight of the 2021 holiday wave.
