Speculation on Harry Potter Series 3!!!

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

I really think we should be calling Floo Power Harry "Diagonally Harry"!

I am absolutely in love with that ideal :love7: if there is any way for Funko to pull that off I would be way over buying trying to get one.


Maybe wave 4...ya know, if they're keeping track here what we really want!

I agree some weird choices, looks like a heavy emphasis on Years 2 and 4. I am loving Moaning Myrtle, Sepia Tom and Fleur. And of course, the Basilisk. I do love some monsters.

So which 3 of the common set do we think will swap out for the store exclusives? I'm kinda thinking (and am not happy about it) - Moody, Skeeter and Harry?

That's pretty much exactly where I'm at! Really glad I have a lot of Targets, but after the common case fiasco of the IW minis, I'm not looking forward to an entire day shot going from Target to Target!

I just hope that some of the new characters will make their way to Pops - especiallyMoaning Myrtle, Rita Skeeter, Krum, Fleur, Crabbe, Goyle and Filch & Mrs Norris. I like that there is only Harry & Malfoy in the regular set as repeated characters. The Quidditch World Cup ones are really adorable! All of the exclusives turned out way too great as I need them all! But why oh why did there have to be Target exclusives! I can handle Hot Topic and B&N, but Target is horrible at stocking them past the first case.


I'm just thrilled that the trio aren't going to be 1/6s this round! It's not a great scenario for them to be exclusives, but I'll take that over a pile of extra trio minis!!

If this set is anything like the prior two... it’s gonna be a nightmare to complete. Having to find three different store exclusives can be a pain even if all turn out to be 1/12.

Target is iffy on getting cases out on time, and employees check them. HT normally gets one case now, and Barnes is Barnes. Who’s ready for July!?

Those quidditch World Cup Target Exclusives are everything ... I have the worst luck with finding minis though so may have to rely on some helpful friends haha

Love this set - nice balance of characters and a nice variety of secondary characters to help fill our collections which is always nice. I like that they are keeping the Harry Potter line and Fantastic Beasts lines separate even though they are the same universe.

Hopefully we will have some kind of sweet spot/area to help narrow things down a little bit and cut down on the doubles. We did at least with S2

Ugh, Target (and further ugh, Hot Topic). Not looking forward to this mess. Awesome character selection, no fault there...maybe the odds will be better this time 'round, but I'm not holding my breath. Am a bit disappointed, though, that Tonks and the Weasley parents didn't make it. I mean, seriously, Floo and Hogwarts robes Harry?

I'm really hoping for 1/12, since there doesn't seem to be a 3-set Funko exclusive batch (at least, not listed yet!) to swap out with the exclusives. That reminds me of how the Incredibles 2 set was listed. So here's hoping!

I would be thrilled with Skeeter and Umbridge, at least. The fewer duplicates of those I end up with, the better!

What's Funko's recent track record been on odds for new releases?

Lots of 1/6 ratios, and crazy hard to find 1/36 and/or 1/72 exclusives for store exclusives that never put them out on the shelves. Good times...

Looking at LOTR and Infinity Wars, it was bad. Rick and Morty s2 and Nick 90s Cartoons sets were both magically 1/12s though! Maybe we will get a miracle lol


Please let this set be 1/12! Please!! [-o<

As per the post above yours, the Funko blog post showed the three Funko 'exclusives':

And I wouldn't get my hopes up about 1/12, there's ZERO chance that Funko will do that with these and even hoping that they will do a 1/6, 1/24 and 1/72 at least for their exclusives is beyond reason as well, seeing as who are the Funko exclusives...

Well, I won't be heartbroken if I manage to get through this set with just one Umbridge. Not even sure I want the one! But Moody and Skeeter are musts! As is most of the set.

And I know, realistically, that a 1/12 set is very unlikely. But I can hope! My trade pile keeps telling me to hope!

Saw this on Facebook. Turns out that the ratios on these are all messed up too. It’s mathematically impossible to have these ratios, so we’ll wait and see as to where Funko have messed up again.

Yeah it doesn’t add up at all. The 1/6’s would take up 10 spots alone in a case

The only variants I want are the Quidditch Cup set from Target. Hopefully they are all 1/12... Not gonna go crazy on this set, but I feel the Hot Topic ones will be rare. Hopefully none become the Buckbeak of the group. Will focus on characters they haven't made yet.
Main Collections: Star Wars (Pops, Minis, Dorbz), Harry Potter (Pops & Minis), DBZ, Sailor Moon, Stranger Things (Pops, Dorbz), various animation/TV sets
