Custom Harry Potter minifigs & ideas

[Ravenxl7]

The main Harry Potter thread was getting off topic, so as suggested by FilmGirl27, I've made a new thread for this topic, and to allow the other thread to get back on track.

Basically just a thread to post your custom minifigs, ideas, suggestions, etc...

Edit: Personally, these are the one's I'm planning on making (don't have all the parts yet).

-Kingsley Shacklebolt

-Madam Pomfrey

-Fred Weasley

-George Weasley

-Aberforth Dumbledore

-Death Eaters (2)

-Myself (basically a theoretically version of me within the HP universe)

I have some more in mind, but those are the only one's I'm currently planning on doing.

Just made a massive order of hair, heads, and body parts! Can't wait!

I found the best hair for Narcissa but it is brown! :( It is the Qui-Gon Jinn hair piece. Does anyone know a good paint I could use to make in blond?

Also some mini figure heads have hair showing and I want to paint over it, any suggestions? Thanks

Since I've got Aberforth mostly done, I might as well put up some pictures of him. All I need to do now is take the paint off of the torso and put a custom decal on it. The head, hair, beard, and hands are from a GoF Albus minifigure, and the arms and legs are from an old jedi minifigure. The colors seem odd at first, but they work for Aberforth, imo. I've unfortunately misplaced his wand, but that's not a big issue. Oh, and the chair, well honestly, I was just bored and made it out of some spare parts I have. Don't have any plans to use it down the road.

Oddly enough, as close as I am to completing this guy (in contrast to the others I have planned anyways), he's the one that I'm most likely to change in the future. It really depends on what his outfit in DH looks like. I'm hoping it isn't too different from the one they used in OotP, but as it's with a different actor, and a much larger and important role, the costume will probably differ.

Interesting, I would have never thought that would work, but it does. I'm not sure what kind of paint you should use, but there's bound to be someone on here that can help you. I don't have any experience painting stuff as small as Lego minifigures. Though I have painted some Transformers, and honestly, my detail work on those isn't good, lol.
