For the last few Harry Potter movies, the action figures that came out left much to be desired. NECA is attempting to remedy this by putting out this set of Harry Potter action figures from the Goblet of Fire. I just got this set the other day and in my opinion the sculpts look pretty accurate. You only need to look at the pictures here in Amazon to see how accurate they are.

NECA also has another set out that depict Harry, Hermione, Ron and Sirius from the upcoming movie, the Order of the Phoenix. If you're a Potter fan like I am, you'd probably want to check those out too.

I am leaving the same feedback for 4 of these products.

All in all my kids absolutely love these 7 inch Harry Potter figures. They play with them every day and it really has them using their imagination in their play. They were very excited opening this on Christmas too so the wow factor is very high. They are very realistic looking - not sure why someone in another review said they were not.

The absolute only negative I can give here are the wands. Of the 12 figures we have, 11 have wands (the 9 inch Hagrid does not). Of the 11 wands, 9 have broken so far and the kids have only had them 1 week. Most of the 9 broken wands broke in the first 2 days. All broke when the figure was standing on the floor and fell over. We're talking about a toy that weighs a little less than 1 pound fall 7 inches. Not exactly rough housing here. The wands are very thin plastic and you can tell they are not going to last long. A big disappointment as the wands really add to the magic. They should make these with a steel pin inside. However - we bought these having read from someone else that the wands broke so I am not surprised.

Anyway - over all I am happy with the figures. My kids love them and the loss of the wands has not bothered them *too* much. For now we are using toothpicks cut in half to mimic the wands.

Modeled very true to the characters, so they are artistically beautiful. Larger than original action figures. Not sure anyone needs two deatheaters, because set is more likely to be purchased by collectors...not kids.
