Harry Potter: the character's complete collection in 2026

A lightning-bolt scar, round glasses and a red and gold tie: Harry Potter is one of the most recognisable characters in contemporary literature. The series of novels he stars in holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling children's book series, with more than 500 million copies recorded in February 2018, and the final book sold 8.3 million copies in twenty-four hours in the United States in July 2007. Few heroes have been turned into so many collectibles. Since February, Funko has released several figures of the young wizard, and two new packs arrive on 1 and 13 September. Here is a look at everything Harry Potter has in store for collectors this year: LEGO sets, Funko POP figures and Loungefly bags.

This feature only covers the character of Harry Potter: for the rest of the wizarding world, from Dumbledore to Voldemort, head to the complete Harry Potter collection.

Who is Harry Potter?

The character was created by British novelist J.K. Rowling. He first appeared on 26 June 1997 in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, published by Bloomsbury, the first of seven books released up to 2007, later followed by the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Warner Bros. adapted the books into eight films between 2001 and 2011, with Daniel Radcliffe playing the title role from start to finish. It is this film version, with round glasses and wizard robes, that almost all the merchandise sold today is based on.

In the story, his full name is Harry James Potter. His parents are killed when he is still a baby and he becomes the only known survivor of the Killing Curse, which earns him the nickname The Boy Who Lived and his scar. Raised by a Muggle aunt and uncle who hide everything from him, he only finds out he is a wizard on his eleventh birthday. At Hogwarts he is sorted into Gryffindor, becomes Seeker for the Quidditch team and makes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. His wand is holly with a phoenix feather core, his Patronus is a stag, his favourite spell is Expelliarmus and he speaks Parseltongue.

For manufacturers, the character has the advantage of being recognisable from very few details: the scar, the round glasses and the Gryffindor uniform are enough, even on a few centimetres of vinyl or in bricks. On top of that there is a set of instantly readable accessories, such as the wand, Hedwig the owl, the broomstick, the Invisibility Cloak and the stag Patronus, and several ages to choose from, from the eleven-year-old pupil to the wizard of the final battle. This is exactly what the ranges use this year.

LEGO Harry Potter 2026: the sets featuring Harry

This year's LEGO Harry Potter range marks 25 years of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, a mention found on several boxes. Many sets focus on places, creatures or other characters; some put Harry himself at the centre of the scene, and here they are.

LEGO Harry Potter 76459: Hagrid & Harry's Privet Drive Escape

Released at the start of the year, this small 124-piece set recreates the flying motorbike escape at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. LEGO presents the sidecar as its very first minifigure-scale model of Hagrid's motorbike.

The box contains four minifigures: Harry, Hagrid with his motorbike goggles, and two Death Eaters on their broomsticks. A section of Privet Drive completes the scene, with a street lamp and two flowerpots that tip over. Ages 8 and up.

LEGO Harry Potter 76475: Forbidden Forest, Expecto Patronum

Released in June, this 244-piece set recreates the scene from Prisoner of Azkaban in which Harry manages to cast his Patronus to drive away the Dementors. It includes minifigures of Harry and Sirius Black, two Dementor figures and a stag Patronus figure marked with the 25th anniversary.

The tree branches can be adjusted and the characters can be moved freely around the clearing, so the scene can be changed once the build is finished. Ages 7 and up.

LEGO Harry Potter 76466: Philosopher's Stone, Collectors' Edition

The largest set in this selection, with 1,571 pieces, for ages 18 and up. The centrepiece is a buildable Hedwig, perched on a pile of books and a school trunk. Three dials open the trunk to reveal a miniature scene of the troll attack in the bathroom, turn the owl's head and move the Queen from the wizard's chessboard.

The base brings together several items from the first book, a Chocolate Frog card featuring Dumbledore, the Philosopher's Stone and two Galleons, and minifigures of Harry, Hermione and Ron come with the set.

LEGO Harry Potter 76476: The Ministry of Magic, Collectors' Edition

Released on 1 September, this 3,491-piece collectors' edition recreates the Ministry of Magic on two levels, the London street above ground and the Department of Mysteries below, scene of the final battle in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

It contains 14 minifigures, including Harry, alongside Ron, Hermione, Sirius Black, Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort and several members of the Order of the Phoenix, as well as a figure of Kingsley Shacklebolt's lynx Patronus. For ages 18 and up.

The LEGO sets featuring the character and their current best prices are listed below.

Funko POP 2026: the new Harry Potter figures

Funko has already released several figures of the wizard since February, and several packs follow from September. Here they are in order of release.

Funko POP Harry Potter 196: the Resurrection Stone

Released on 20 February, this figure from the standard range shows Harry in a brown jacket and jeans, with his hand open on the Resurrection Stone. Funko links it to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 and lists it at about 4 in (10.2 cm), slightly taller than the usual size in the range.

Funko POP Harry Potter 197: Harry with Hedwig

Released on 26 April in the Harry Potter S20 series, this one shows the school outfit: black Hogwarts robes, round glasses and a clearly visible scar on his forehead, with Hedwig perched on his right hand with her wings spread. The box, titled Harry Potter with Hedwig, carries the Funko authentication sticker and its QR code.

Funko POP Harry Potter 205: the stag Patronus

Released on 1 August, this figure is part of the 25 Years of Magic series, whose banner runs across the top of the box. Harry is shown in wizard robes, with his stag Patronus in translucent blue vinyl beside him. Funko announces it as a retailer exclusive, at about 3.6 in (9.1 cm), and it comes with the new authentication packaging: a micro-optic sticker with a code that can be checked online.

The Harry Potter Bundle: four items in one box

Due on 30 October, this set brings together four items at once: a Harry Potter POP figure of about 3.6 in (9.1 cm), a Hedwig POP keychain of about 4 in (10.2 cm), a Harry Potter Mystery Mini in opaque packaging, so picked at random, and a Hermione Granger pen topper of about 6.5 in (16.5 cm) with black ink. The box has a window showing the four items side by side.

The five-figure pack led by Harry Potter

Dated 13 September, this pack brings together five figures in a single window box, with Harry Potter in front, wand in hand, surrounded by Lord Voldemort, Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore and Ron Weasley. The five characters are displayed on two levels, with no individual box number.

The Pocket Pop advent calendar: 24 mini figures

This advent calendar contains 24 Pocket Pop figures of about 2 in (5 cm) behind 24 small numbered doors. On the box, Harry Potter appears in a gingerbread outfit, alongside Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger in the same gingerbread version and Albus Dumbledore, among the characters announced by Funko.

Funko POP Jumbo Harry Potter in Quidditch kit

Part of the Harry Potter S21 series, this Jumbo version is about 9.8 in (25 cm) tall, more than twice the size of a standard figure. Harry wears the scarlet Gryffindor Quidditch robes, holding the Golden Snitch in one hand and his Nimbus 2000 broomstick in the other, in a victory pose after a match. The box carries the banner for the saga's 25th anniversary.

Here are all the POP figures of the character, with their current best prices.

Loungefly 2026: bags based on Harry's story

This year Loungefly has made several bags that do not show the wizard himself but objects and places from his story. The first two are linked to the moment he discovers he is a wizard: they are made of faux leather, with matching lining and embossed details.

The Hogwarts Letter bag, convertible into a backpack

Available since March, this black bag has a front pocket shaped like a Hogwarts letter, with the red wax seal as a PVC appliqué. The Hogwarts crest is printed in gold foil on the back.

A keyring is attached to the bag: a charm with the Hogwarts logo, plus one charm per house. The removable strap and the handle mean it can be carried as a tote or on the back. It measures 13 in (33 cm) wide, 11 in (27.9 cm) high and 3 in (7.6 cm) deep.

The birthday cake crossbody bag

Released in July, this one takes the round shape of the cake Hagrid brings Harry for his eleventh birthday. The pink icing and the green HAPPEE BIRTHDAE HARRY lettering are done in embroidery and embossing, with the crack in the cake moulded into the material.

An umbrella-shaped charm hangs from the adjustable strap, a reference to Hagrid's umbrella, and the inside lining uses the same colours. It measures 9 in (22.8 cm) square and 3 in (7.6 cm) deep.

Two mini backpacks and a wallet: Harry's birthday and Gryffindor

The July mini backpack shows Hagrid on the front, in front of a 3D gift box with a blue bow; the removable zip pouch shows Harry's birthday cake. The March one is red, quilted with a Gryffindor crest pattern, with a satin tie knotted on the handle.

The October wallet is based on the Gryffindor uniform: a knitted red and yellow scarf runs along the left edge, and the embroidered crest is on the black front. It has seven card slots and a clear ID window, and measures 6 in (15.2 cm) wide by 3.7 in (9.5 cm) high.

The Christmas at Hogwarts mini backpack

Released on 30 October, this red mini backpack has an oval gold frame surrounded by raised candles. On the front, a lenticular panel shows Hogwarts in the snow; when it is opened, Harry appears in wizard robes in front of a Christmas tree. A satin bow and a gold metal Hogwarts crest complete the front, and the crest also appears in gold foil on the back.

The wizard's chess crossbody bag

Released on 24 October, this crossbody bag is based on the wizard's chess game from the first book, which Harry plays with Ron and Hermione. The front shows a chessboard with red and beige pieces, some of which can be moved. The back is decorated with candles and the Sorting Hat, and the strap is adjustable. It measures 10 in (25.4 cm) wide, 7 in (17.7 cm) high and 3 in (7.6 cm) deep.

Here are the Loungefly pieces linked to the character, with their current best prices.

Books 2026: a special edition linked to the HBO series

In France, Gallimard Jeunesse is publishing a new paperback edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on 5 November 2026, called the HBO special edition. The book has 320 pages and contains the full text of the first book. Its photographic cover shows a young boy from behind, in a burgundy coat marked with the name Potter and a number, on a snowy street, with a mention of the new HBO Original series.

This release comes seven weeks before the Harry Potter series airs on HBO and HBO Max, announced for 25 December 2026 with Dominic McLaughlin in the title role.

Harry Potter, a safe choice for collectors

With the large buildable Hedwig, the Patronus clearing, Hagrid's motorbike and a Funko series covering both the Resurrection Stone and the silver stag, the character is covered from several angles this year: the scene to play out, the piece to display and the accessory to wear. And the catalogue does not stop there, as illustrated books, jigsaw puzzles, plush toys and older LEGO sets continue to fill display shelves all year round.

Here is a selection of Harry Potter items from every category.
