My New Custom Hogwarts Teachers
« on: February 24, 2012, 00:08:33 »
At last I got around to making more of my Hogwarts staff.
I tried to make them as near as I could to the descriptions in the books but also used photos of the film characters as a guide as I thought that more people would recognise them.
For those who don't know Harry Potter I have made up  photos with all the staff on them so you can compare them with the Playmobil ones.
First ...
Professor Dumbledore...





Professor McGonagall





Professor Dolores Umbridge...





Professor Flitwick...



Argus Filch and his cat, Mrs Norris...





And one of my favourites - Madam Hooch - The feathers in her hat remind me of the wings of the golden snitch!...



These are the pictures I based them on...



Some more staff...

Hagrid... (for those who don't know, he hides his wand in a pink umbrella)





Madam Pomfrey - the school matron...



Professor Sprout - the Herbology teacher ...





Professor Snape - potions teacher...





Professor Trelawney - the divination teacher...



Professor Sinistra - the astronomy teacher...




and where I got the ideas for this last batch of staff from...



Finally two teachers that I forgot to add on the list...

Professor Vector the arithmancy teacher ...



and Madam Pince - the librarian...



If anyone wants to know, I can let you know where most of the parts came from, although a lot of painting was needed.

I'll post the student pics in a seperate thread when I've uploaded them.

Wow! These are really good. So much detail! I'll ask my daughter, a Harry Potter fanatic, to identify the character in each picture. These are so accurate, she'll probably have no trouble whatsoever!

Excellent custom creations, Elaine!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

They're all outstanding, Elaine! Minerva Mc Gonagall is my favourite. The work on Rubeus Hagrid is impressive, how tall is he compared to a classic clicky?
Best,

Though I don't know the characters, love the customs.

Sent the link to a friend who's a HP fan and she loves them :)

Excellent customs, Elaine, and wonderful painting of them.  Harry Potter fans will have no problem recognising them, even from only reading the books.
