Mattel Harry Potter-Expecto Patronum Harry 8'' Deluxe Action Figure

I purchased three of this figure; one to display on my desk, one for my entertainment center, and another for the bookcase in my bedroom. I'm very satisfied with the figure. It was sculpted very realistically, and looks exactly like Harry Potter.He is no longer a child by the third movie, and it shows in the figure, too. I did not use the plastic magical spell thingies that came with the Harry Potter Expectro Patronum figure, as I felt they detracted from it's realistic appearance.He looks great with my other Harry Potter figures, and he'll look great with yours, too.I gave a high rating for durability, because I'm a middle aged man, and have the figure in a plexiglass case...For me, it is for display, not for play, so, at least in this instance, it ought to last the rest of my life. The figure does not look very fragile, though I cannot say how long it would last if it were used for play, but children should have a lot of fun playing with Expecto Patronum Harry Potter. There are small parts, so it is not a good idea to give the figure to a child younger than four years old, due to a choking hazard if parts are swallowed . The figure can be considered educational, as it could encourage children to read the Harry Potter books.I rated the figure 5 stars overall. It looks very realistic, and it is fun to look at it. The Harry Potter books, cd soundtracks, movies, and figures have given so much enjoyment to so many people, including myself. Buy an Expecto Patronum figure if you come across one! I'm glad I have mine.
