HARRY POTTER Paper Figure Set
(as always, click the images for full sized version)
This week's paper figure set is certainly the most grandiose: there are fifty-five figures total. Presenting, the characters of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, for you to download, print out, and assemble yourself! Absolutely free, of course. Click here to download the file. Depending on your browser, you may need to right click and choose "save link as." It's big - 66mb, I think - so don't do it on your phone unless you've got a heck of a data plan.
I put a new figure set up every Monday. Feel free to check out the other ones.

I gave him snake lips and longer fingers/toes, but otherwise it's pretty much the movie version. Likewise, Sirius Black has a mustache rather than a bear, another nod to an excellent film design decision. Otherwise, though, I think the choices are mostly my interpretations of Rowling's descriptions,
Oh! There are two exclusive figures that you can't get here! One is at School Library Journal's GOOD COMICS FOR KIDS section, the other is on BLEEDING COOL. So if you want Moaning Myrtle or Buckbeak, scurry that way, too.
