- Funko launched a new Harry Potter POP! Mystery collection with six four-inch vinyl characters—Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Luna Lovegood and twins Fred and George Weasley—plus a matching POP! card in every blind box.
- Harry Potter POP! Mystery collection sells each blind box for $14.99; the six standard characters have equal one-in-six odds, collectors have a one-in-72 chance at a special Mystery Chase, and an even rarer one-of-one Worldwide Chase is potentially hidden in the release.
- Funko’s buyback program offers collectors $10,000 in exchange for eligible one-of-one figures after verification.
- POP! Mystery line is Funko’s recently introduced blind-box range, whose earlier collections featured characters from KPop Demon Hunters, One Piece and Warner Bros. horror franchises.
- HBO’s Harry Potter adaptation premieres Dec. 25 on HBO and HBO Max, with the Funko release arriving ahead of it; season one adapts Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and stars Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout as the central trio.
- Francesca Gardiner serves as showrunner and executive producer, Mark Mylod directs multiple episodes, and HBO is already developing season two from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with Kit Harington as Gilderoy Lockhart.
Why it matters: For collectors, a $14.99 purchase adds a one-in-72 chance at a Mystery Chase and an exchange route worth $10,000 for eligible verified one-of-one figures. Funko places that blind-box release in the same launch window as HBO’s Dec. 25 television premiere.
