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...

And one of my favourites - Madam Hooch - The feathers in her hat remind me of the wings of the golden snitch!...(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/MADAMHOOCH.jpg)

Some more staff...
Hagrid... (for those who don't know, he hides his wand in a pink umbrella)
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/HAGRIDFRONT.jpg)
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/HADRIDBACK.jpg)
Madam Pomfrey - the school matron...
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/MADAMPMFREY.jpg)
Professor Sprout - the Herbology teacher ...
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/PROFESSORSPROUT.jpg)
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/SPROUTBACK.jpg)
Professor Snape - potions teacher...
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/SNAPE.jpg)
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/SNAPEBACK.jpg)
Professor Trelawney - the divination teacher...

Professor Sinistra - the astronomy teacher...
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/PROFESSORSINISTRA.jpg)
and where I got the ideas for this last batch of staff from...
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/HOGWARTSSTAFF2.jpg)
Finally two teachers that I forgot to add on the list...
Professor Vector the arithmancy teacher ...
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/PROFESSORVECTOR.jpg)
and Madam Pince - the librarian...
(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/PLAYMOBIL%20HOGWARTS%20STAFF%20AND%20STUDENTS/MADAMPINCE.jpg)
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!
-
Those look great! I really love :love: the McGonagall outfit, great job on that plaid. It looks like fuzzy woolen :)
-
Nice customs! I like the herbalist the most. :)
-
Excellent custom creations, Elaine!
-
great work elain . :) they all look identical :o
-
Excellent customs Elaine!! Very good and highly detailed work!!!
-
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,
Arnaud
-
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.
-
Thank you everyone. I loved doing them :love:
I restricted the figures I did to just one year at Hogwarts as regards defence against the dark arts teachers, but would like to try making all the teachers from other years, also thinking about Voldemort and some death eaters - when I get time!

Thank you, I was pleased that it had achieved the look I wanted, like a type of tweed material.
Likewise with Dolores Umbridge's outfit. She is described as wearing a fluffy pink cardigan so I tried to put the paint on the arms quite thickly to give the appearance of it not being smooth.
I think I will change Snapes face though - he looks too nice :lol:
The work on Rubeus Hagrid is impressive, how tall is he compared to a classic clicky?
Only slightly taller - I'll post a photo of him stood next to one of the others.

Professor McGonagall's dress it my favourite too! :love:
They are all fabulous. :clap: :hatoff:
-
Really cool all of them! Specially McGonagall, I love her!!
I've never seen professor Sinistra before. Which movie is she featured in? ???
-
Thank you Verity and Gaston.

According to the photo here Gaston, it must have been either the Philosopher's Stone or Chamber of Secrets.
I think probably Chamber of Secrets because she is certainly mentioned in that book, although I'm sure she's mentioned in later books when they talk about the homework they have to do for her.

I do remember her from the books, but not the movies. It could a shot of the teacher's table in one of those you mentioned. :)9
-
I said I would post a photo of Hagrid stood next to another klicky, here he is with Dumbledore, almost a head taller...

those are so cool! being a Harry Potter fan i can really appreciate all the work and the true awesomeness of these!
-
Thanks for that latest pic, Elaine. I agree on Snapes' face, he looks too happy. Maybe the turned down smile face from the convict in Fi?ures serie 2/3 (don't remember which) would look better. Just my two cents.

Skypurr, I love your creations :love:
You're really good at customizing Playmobil, and as a Harry Potter fan I have to say that those are just perfect :)9
I hope you continue creating more Harry Potter characters :wave:
-
Beautiful set.
I love Albus' little glasses and Minerva's plaid print: Great painting there!
I too would agree about Severus' eyebrows. His scowl is almost defining. I would add to cowabunga's suggestion that you could PAINT on new eyebrows instead of swapping heads. If your hand is steady enough to make a plaid dress, the brows should be no problem, AND face would be unique. (A rarity for Playmobil faces...) You could make them triangular as seen here: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm172605184/ch0000988 (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm172605184/ch0000988)
I have hesitated to bring up this venture, because I haven't had success yet, but for Giant figures I wondered how a 1-2-3 head (or whole figure) would work...?
Finding compatible arms for a 1-2-3 body is proving tricky to me, but a leg extension (Like you did on your Hagrid base figure) of a 1-2-3 adult makes a beefy giant. I would love to see a bulkier Hagrid, but we are limited by Playmobil's uniformity in this case.... unless venturing into 1-2-3 parts for bases.
Anyhoo, great batch of customs, recognizable at a glance!
