    It’s not the best Harry Potter, but easily one of the best Robert Smith amigurumis I’ve seen lately.

    I guess I missed the part where Hermione was a hobo/banshee.

    (Seriously. How hard would it be to just make… like.. a tiny tie for them or something so it’s obvious they’re the character’s you’re trying to represent?)

    Harry has terrifying bug eyes and it looks like the seller made Hermione’s body out of what she pulled out of her bathtub drain.

    That wasn’t a very funny first post (well, it’s my second post here, my first was indignation at a Mammy doll). Oh well. Hi guys.

    The whole point of amigurumi is that they be cute. Even an amigurumi Cthulu manages to be “awww, what a cute little evil guy!”

    These are not cute.

    These are so horribly off-model that I can only assume they’re actually cursed artifacts and the buyer is attempting to offload them as fast as possible by piggybacking them onto the merchandising for the latest movie. They should’ve just come out and admitted “Yeah, I pissed off a swamp witch and now these little guys follow me around stabbing my calves with upholstery needles, and also I’ve been peeing blood a little bit but that could be the hep”, people will totally pay out the nose for that. Or…well…out the calves, anyway.

    Ok. Why is Harry wearing so much eyeliner? Why is he wearing a black onesie? Why is he doing jumping jacks?

    The woman who makes these really, really needs to take a lesson from the lady who knits meerkats that look like people. Those little meerkats are sooo cute! And through the use of clothing and props the artist makes look like who they’re supposed to be.
    It would have been pretty easy to make these look like characters from Harry Potter if they had been wearing the uniforms! Or carrying little wands! Or anything other than doing jumping jacks in black onesies!!

    Odd- these suck, yet her other stuff is kinda cute. I bet a ton of people get earrings for their pal who loves Mario/Twilight/Starbucks etc. The festive skulls were gorgeous actually! I wonder if she’d do a charm bracelet like the Dr Who one except using photos from a client. Wouldn’t that be cool? Pics of one’s pets, or relatives, or BFFs…sweetness! (I don’t wear jewelry, but I’d recommend this to a friend.)

    But yeah…terrible dolls. I’ve never read or seen any of that franchise, but even I know he should have a zig-zag scar! And his pal wouldn’t have “rasta hair”(kudos to Glitterherpes for that lovely description!), as she’s rather a perfectionist, no? Wouldn’t a braid be more suitable? And I second the suggested school ties.
