Introducing new Harry Potter characters and sets now available from schleich® – Fantastic Beasts and thrilling figurines from Hogwarts
The magical journey continues with plenty of exciting news for Harry Potter fans. In July, schleich® will introduce three new characters from the Fantastic Beasts film series and two figurine sets. Children and grown-ups alike will love re-enacting the exciting magic with the lovingly detailed new figurines.
New York in the 1920s: Fans will recognise the setting of some of the magic found in the Fantastic Beasts film series. From July, three magical beasts from this wizarding world will join the Harry Potter collection. The Occamy with its shiny blue and purple scales resembles a giant serpent with moving, feathered wings. There’s another feathered creature, too: the Thunderbird, whose mighty wings can unleash powerful storms in flight. A little Niffler with Gold prefers to stay on the ground. He is drawn to all things shiny, fiercely protecting his pile of gold coins.
New figurine sets from Hogwarts
The figurine set Mad-Eye Moody & Draco Malfoy with Ferret brings two very important individuals to schleich’s world of Harry Potter. Mad-Eye Moody is an Auror with a characteristic magical eye and a scarred face. The set represents a scene from the fourth Harry Potter film, in which Mad-Eye Moody transforms Draco Malfoy into a ferret. Both characters have moving arms. If you like to live dangerously, the Werewolf vs. Animagus set is for you. The Animagus Sirius Black transforms into a black dog to battle a werewolf. His opponent has moving arms and a grey, skeletal body – terrifying! Who do you think will win the fight?
The Harry Potter characters and sets transport children aged six and above to the magical world of Harry Potter. They are enchanting toys made for re-enacting the scenes from the books and films or come up with their own imaginative stories.
