Minifigs in the 2022 HP AC
WARNING: potential spoilers follow as this goes beyond visible box art.
Max at Promobricks (the gent we have to thank for the Hogwarts Express D2C info) had a bit of extra info about the minifigs we can expect to see in this year's calendar in Promobricks' latest livestream:
In addition to the Tonks and Harry, who we can see on the packaging, the AC should include Neville Longbottom from the 7th [book] bearing the Sword of Gryffindor, Sirius Black in a brown jumper (Max wasn't sure what scene he's from), Moaning Myrtle (no further details provided) and Voldemort (not illogically, Max assumes it's the one for whom we've seen the leaked head).
For me, Myrtle seems the oddest inclusion, the other five all appear at the Battle of the Ministry of Magic together, so I wonder if it's Ginny or Bella instead, neither of whom we've seen yet this year. (In fact, adult Fawkes and Ginny are the only two members of the BotMoM team!Harry to not appear in a set at all this year.) Then again, I'm not sure how a Firstie Harry (those short, short legs) fits in the same set with a seventh year Neville, but I'll be glad to see Nev in his Fair Isle jumper. That's one of the minifig character variants we're still missing since the 2018 reboot. Another oddity, it'll be the fourth Sirius Black in a year that's had only one Snape and McGonagall, and (not counting the polybag) one Dumbledore, and no Hagrids either. So, staff was somewhat sparsely represented*, but we get four Sirius Blacks this year? (Sirius' Rescue, Shrieking Shack, 12 Grimmauld Place, and now the Advent Calendar) No clue. I'm rather hoping that's a misidentification (but then admittedly Sirius was never one of my favourites).
So on the off chance it isn't Sirius, can anyone recall if there was someone else who appeared at the BotMoM in a brown jumper?
* Mind, I'm dead chuffed about Pomfrey and Pince, and Filch and Mrs Norris are certainly welcome, as are Moody and Trelawney... The more staff, the better, I reckon. 😉
