I get your frustration with some of them. Mrs Weasley I personally stick to the 2010 which is such a great figure. For Vernon, I used this customized version for ages before the official one, which I personnaly really like and will probably use now. And Lavender's torso design is great, not fond of the face or hair combo so switched back to my personal preference.



I see a lot of people using that hair piece for Lavender Brown, and I have one (not in the right color) but It has no holes. How are you fitting the bow in there?

I'm going to give Tonks Qi'ra's hair from Star Wars Solo and Mrs Weasley the 2010 version hairpiece. For Vernon I was looking at using the Antoc Merrick face as it looks more like his hair colour in the early films with either the standard male hair, or the 'Mutt' hair in dark tan. 

I have Antoc Merrick, but I wish he had an angry expression, or even just a frown because a smile and a bigger smile doesn’t seem like expressions Vernon would use all that often

You have to upload then to a photo hosting site then link to them here, Eurobricks isn't meant to be one (only for your avatar picture). Flickr is a popular choice these days.

I made a few more purist custom figures:

This is my take on Professor Vector (if lego did an official figure of her I think they should use the CMF princess hair-hat combo), Beauxbatons Carriage driver and a random Ministry official. 

These are full leg ‘room of requirement’ versions of Dean Thomas and Cho Chang, using the new student pack for parts :D. The last figure was inspired by youtuber ‘PotterMinifigPals’ and is the unnamed(?) student from PoA who gets a few creepy lines about Sirius Black.

Finaly for today Pansy Parkinson using Rose Tico head and hair and a very simple Herbology Seamus Finnigan

Thanks! 

So I’m planning to get the 2020 Advent Calendar, and have come up with some uses for the parts of the extra Ron and Harry (I already have the clock tower):

Using Harry’s body which has a white tie here is Neville in his Yule Ball suit:

I am going to use Harry's torso and hair for Roger Davies (Fleur's date)

Here are instructions for a few more characters using parts from the student pack as well as various heads and hair I happen to have in my storage.
To complete all of these you will need the Harry and Ron from the AC, and two extra student packs:

First is Pansy Parkinson, same as I posted earlier. If anyone is doing the popular head exchange for Lavender Brown this character would be a good use of the left over Rays’s head:

Next is Ron, who’s figure is annoyingly missing right now from the ‘Room of Requirement’ scene:

 

Nigel Wolpert uses a recolour of a hair which became available in BAM towers. Alternatively you could use a brown hair from Emmet, or one of Ron’s if you prefer.

Ernest Macmillan uses one of the extra Draco hair:

Another Hufflepuff Zachary Smith:

 

Finally a Ravenclaw: Michael Corner. I’m really pleased with how this one came together: he uses an extra Draco’s face and the long black hair from a Yule Ball Harry!

That works too! I might brick-link an extra torso then. I’ll want to pick a different hair however to make his look different. What face will you use? I might just use a Malfoy as there will still be extras leftover from buying 3 packs ?

So as you all know Diagon Alley is about to come out and if there's one thing that's a bit annoying about that amazing set it's the relatively small amount of figures. To make up for that I made a bunch of figures (custom, not based on anything really) with backstories and everything. This is a ''part 1'', I'll post more later. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr. Aligan - an extremely old wizard who ran a small shop in Diagon Alley for the better part of a century. Due to his age and his aching back his son took over his 'shop-duties' but he still loves to walk through the Alley and talk to his old comrades from time to time. 

'The Weird One' - a stranger who turned up in Diagon Alley one day and can mostly be seen lurking around the entrance to Knockturn Alley. Nobody really knows who he is but they do know he's not right in his mind. There are also some rumors floating about, telling stories of someone he might have pledged his allegiance to......

Edward 'Ed' Hallow - an elderly wizard who loves nature and brewing potions. He lives at the edge of a small town, comes to Diagon Alley 2 or 3 times a week for supplies and then goes back making his potions again. His neighbours think he's a weird man but behind his ragged looks lies a very friendly person who can become friends with anybody, is loved by many and is never too busy for a good conversation.

Aberforth Dumbledore - well.... you know who he is 

Alfonso Norrington - a self proclaimed 'adventurer', 'slayer of mighty beasts' and 'collector of vast treasures' who tells a lot of stories about his daring adventures. But the adventurer he once had inside of him is long gone, for he has become incredibly jumpy and gets easily scared. Why? Well nobody really knows for sure but there's a rumor it involves an ambush from a Chinese Fireball and the loss of his leg.

Harris and Eloise Dunsworth - these two fell in love years ago when they went to Hogwarts together, having both been sorted into Ravenclaw house. While Eloise generally stays at home to keep everything running smoothly Harris is a very ambitious ministry official who works in the Department of Magical Cooperation. Their youngest son Jackson will be starting Hogwarts this year and though they generally don't prefer one house over the other they secretely have their fingers crossed the Sorting Hat will pronounce Jackson a Ravenclaw, much like themselves during their Hogwarts days. 

Jackson and Buck Dunsworth - brothers and the sons of Harris and Eloise Dunsworth. Buck's a daring Gryffindor who doesn't shy away from trouble and will be starting his 4th year when he returns to Hogwarts. Jackson on the other hand will be starting his 1st year at the school and while he's definetely excited he's also very scared of what lies ahead.

Finally got the last part (the hat) for my Hogwarts Express driver based on this fellow from the theme park! :-D

They all look good! Looking forward to the next batch.

Thanks, that torso came from Nehmaar Reem from the Hidden Side Mystery Castle. It's available for purchase on B&P's (I ordered the legs as well but it hasn't arrived yet so I had to put some other legs on him for the time being)

This is my 64 HP customs figs.... Do you want a focus on these to see the detail?

6 last in preparation (the 4 marauders, Barty crouch Sr and Rita Skeeter in lemon suit) to have 70 to add in my official collection.

[Beasty_Boy0800]

I haven't tried it myself, but if anyone wants to update/create their own Karkaroff, you can use the Hanzo head from lego Overwatch. Thought I would share with whoever wants to try ?

[Metanoios]

I made a few more custom minifigs (to populate Diagon Alley and other parts of the wizarding world)

I love these, I might have to use that hood method on Kingsley myself. 

I posted an image of the owner on another thread I think, were the dark blue wizard parts from BAM? Looks good.

Yes the dark blue hat, torso and robes were from BAM. You can still find them in some Lego stores if you ask the staff, because they have unopened BAM part boxes in the back, or you can order them on Bricklink (just search "BAM").

@Metanoios91 what face did you use for scrimgeour?

Can someone answer my question?

Krennic from Star Wars. You can still get him as a really cheap key chain in some Lego store. You just have to remove the chain and metal rod, then you can use the head and white cloak just like on a normal minifig
