No amount of magic is enough for Potterheads. Be it the generation that grew up with books and movies, or the ones who were introduced to the franchise later. Over the years, many moments and characters have become staples for the fandom. Later this year, a new generation will be introduced to Harry, Ron, and Hermione and their magical Wizarding World as HBO rolls out the new Harry Potter series.
The series, showrun by Francesca Gardiner and directed by Mark Mylod, promises nostalgia and is adamant to flesh out elements of the books that didn’t get screen time during the original movies, be it characters like the poltergeist Peeves or Harry’s life with the Dursleys before he got his letter, as teased in the trailer. To remind fans of the nostalgia and the wonderful world filled with magic and mayhem before the new series arrives, Funko has launched a new line assembling the Dark Lord’s faithful servants.
Fans will soon find Pops of Fenrir Greyback, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, and a Death Eater. For fans who’d love to start right away with their collection, figurines of Harry Potter with Hedwig, Aberforth Dumbledore with Mirror Shard, and Severus Snape with Patronus are available right now. The figurines make a perfect addition to any fan’s collection.

01
What quality do you value most in yourself? Answer as honestly as you can — the Hat always knows.

A friend is being treated unfairly. What do you do? How you protect others says everything about who you are.

What does success look like to you? What you’re working toward defines who you’re becoming.
04
What is your greatest fear? Fear is the most honest thing about a person.

The Sorting Hat Speaks Your House Has Been Chosen
After careful deliberation, the Sorting Hat has made its decision. This is the house your values, your instincts, and your particular way of being in the world were made for.
Gryffindor Tower · Scarlet & Gold
Gryffindor
You have nerve. Not the reckless kind, but the deep, quiet courage that shows up even when you’re terrified — especially then.
Gryffindors don’t act because they’re fearless — they act because they understand that some things are worth being afraid for.
You stand up for people when it would be easier to look away.
You charge toward what’s right even when the odds are terrible.
Harry, Hermione, Ron — the heroes of Hogwarts’s greatest chapter — all called the tower with the scarlet and gold home. And now, so do you.
Slytherin Dungeon · Emerald & Silver
Slytherin
You are driven, sharp, and utterly clear-eyed about what you want and how to get there.
Slytherin has long been misunderstood — painted as the house of villains when it is, at its best, the house of those who refuse to accept limits placed on them by others.
You are resourceful, strategic, and you play the long game.
You know your worth. You protect your own fiercely.
The dungeon common room with its view of the Black Lake is yours — and the ambitions that will take you further than anyone expects are yours too.
Hufflepuff Basement · Yellow & Black
Hufflepuff
You are the kind of person that makes the world genuinely better just by being in it.
Hufflepuff is not the “safe” house or the “leftover” house — it is the house of those with the greatest heart and the most unwavering integrity.
You show up. You work hard. You don’t need glory or recognition — you do what’s right because it’s right.
Your loyalty never wavers, even when tested.
Nymphadora Tonks, Cedric Diggory, Newt Scamander — some of the wizarding world’s finest. And now you join them.
Ravenclaw Tower · Blue & Bronze
Ravenclaw
Your mind is your greatest gift, and you’ve always known it.
Ravenclaws are the thinkers, the questioners, the ones who find a puzzle irresistible and a good book better company than most people.
Ravenclaw is not merely about intelligence — it’s about the love of learning, the pursuit of truth, and the rare courage to admit you don’t know something yet.
You see the world with unusual clarity and depth.
Luna Lovegood, Filius Flitwick, Rowena Ravenclaw herself — all extraordinary, all original. And so are you.
What Do We Know About the Upcoming ‘Harry Potter’ Series
Enough to get us excited, but not enough to keep guessing. The series has gathered a brilliant cast, including Dominic McLaughlin as the titular character, with Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger. Further filling the staffroom are John Lithgow as headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer stepping into the shoes of Minerva McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu as iconic double agent Severus Snape, along with Nick Frost as loveable gameskeeper Rubeus Hagrid.
In the longer TV series format, the makers are filling in some blanks with behind-the-scenes images showcasing Dumbledore meeting his friend Nicolas Flamel and his wife; some images also show Harry’s parents, James and Lily. With small elements such as these, even longtime fans will get something fresh in the reboot. Furthermore, some ignored characters like Peeves, who’ll be played by Peter Serafinowicz. With season 1 already under their belt, the second season is currently filming.
The new Funko line will be out soon. The new Harry Potter series will debut on 25 December. Stay tuned to Collider for more such updates.
