LEGO Harry Potter Series 1 - Mad-Eye Moody Minifigure (14/22) Bagged

Product Information

Sneakoscope: Moody's Sneakoscope was large, and Barty Crouch, impersonating Moody, said that he disabled it because it was constantly spinning and whistling due to the large number of students who were practising untrustworthy behaviour in the vicinity. In reality, it was constantly signalling that Barty Crouch was committing a deception. In the films, Moody is portrayed considerably different from his literary counterpart. Differences between his description in the book and his portrayal on film include his magical eye being held in place by an eye patch-like strap and brass ring, having a less mutilated face, including a full nose instead of a piece of it missing.

Working hard and using all of his cunning, Crouch, as Moody, ensured that Harry Potter would get into the Triwizard Tournament and ascend to the Third Task. Upon doing so, Voldemort used Harry Potter to return to life in a body of his own with all its powers once again. When Crouch learned of this upon Harry's return, he tried to murder him, but Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, and Severus Snape stopped him. Wand: Like most wizards and witches, Moody owned and carried a wand. [6] If he was ever deprived of his wand he would use his staff instead. [49] My favourite details inside the classroom are the book and the chest where the real 'Mad-Eye' Moody is imprisoned. The book contains an exclusive printed 1x2 tile, featuring the Dark Mark, while the chest houses a tiny Alastor Moody figure! The decoration is inevitably simple, but the character's white clothing and missing eye are present. Moreover, the pearl dark grey chest is only available here and includes the new lid. Alastor Moody was born into the pure-blood Moody family. The precise date of his birth is unknown. [4] His father and mother were both Aurors, [8] as were many of his ancestors - the Moody family gained a reputation for producing many "renowned Aurors." [4]Harry Potter: " Professor Moody?" Moody: " I don't know so much about 'Professor'. Never got round to much teaching, did I?" — A discussion on Moody's failed teaching career [src] Apparition: Moody, like most accomplished adult wizards, could Apparate at will. He originally intended to bring Harry away from the Dursley's through side-along apparition. Alastor Moody was tough, brave and a consummate survivor, as well as an excellent fighter. He had a gruff, surly disposition. Having encountered many dangerous experiences throughout his career, he was hyper-paranoid and thought of by many as being delusional.

[15]

Two students are included, beginning with Hermione Granger. This minifigure takes inspiration from Hermione's appearance during The Goblet of Fire, so features a wavy hair component and medium legs. These approximate the onscreen character and this Hogwarts uniform looks great too, displaying the Gryffindor colours and emblem.Herbology: As an Auror, Moody was skilled in Herbology, as he had to have received at least an Exceeds Expectations in his O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. for this subject. [45] In the films he has hair that is blonde but greying rather than hair that is completely grey, and is somewhat overweight. His artificial leg in the films is made of metal rather than wood.
