Harry Potter Pops I own and forgot to show you.

I was doing a little surfing on my own blog (it's fun when you have an interest in something and find out you'd already done some writing on it in the past) and came across my post on the collection of Harry Potter Funko Pops I own. I had almost completed the full set of the first wave (minus the exclusives, because there was no way I was getting three Harrys), and had only about four listed for the second. I realised that, since then, I've acquired a couple more from the second wave that I neglected to post about. That isn't because I didn't like these Pops, but rather it just... slipped my mind. I'm not  particularly skilled at recalling information (or writing, apparently), so it fell to the recesses of my mind. My poor, beleagured mind. Just kidding, folks. So, I figured I'd discuss the Pops I neglected in this post!

Since I last posted about my own HP Pop collection, I've gained a grand total of (dun dun DUN) three new ones. I know, so many. It's crazy. I've got a fair few on my list for my upcoming birthday (someone get them for me), so I am getting back into the habit (habit?) of buying these and amassing gazillions of shiny-eyed, big-headed witches, wizards and other magical creatures of Rowling's creation!

 I bought Sirius not long after I purchased Dobby and Yule Ball Hermione in Perth city, that one time I actually had money to spend and a means to spend it physically. I love Sirius - admittedly the character more than Oldman's portrayal. Am I the only one who had an issue with the way he was portrayed? He was meant to be in his mid/late thirties (no guy in their thirties looks that old), but he was aged up to around fifty for some reason. I get that they wanted him to look parent-y, but I just always pictured Ben Barnes (mouth watering thinking about Prince Caspian) in the role. I also have beef with the fact that Lily and James Potter were cast really similarly - they looked parent-y. They were, like, twenty when they died; basically teenagers. Just why? Why? Anyway, that was a massive tangent. So I love Sirius in a sexy way. If I could choose a husband from the HP world, it'd be Sirius. Yep. ILY, Sirius.

 I bought Neville next - I actually can't remember where I got him. Wait - I do; he was a bulk purchase I made with Arya Stark and Cersei Lannister at a small gaming and hobby shop a little ways from where I live. They had some sort of sale going on - I think it was a buy two, get one free thing - so I saw a sad little Neville in the back corner and told myself I was gonna get him. He's now happy, sitting with his Gryffindor classmates and cowering from the dreaded Professor Snape. I really love the addition of Trevor the toad perched in his hand. As a Pop, Neville looks really similar to Harry - it kinda struck me how Neville and Harry were virtually exchangeable; that Neville could just as easily been the Boy Who Lived.

Cedric Diggory was a really recent purchase. I couldn't believe I'd failed to get him for my collection, and I decided that I'd order him from Popcultcha.com just in time for my re-watching of Goblet of Fire. I bawled; it was great. He's so cute as a Pop! I particularly love the colour of his hair; I just think that burnt-mustard colour is mesmerising. I also love the disparity in colouration between the eyebrows and the hair, and it wasn't something I noticed about the character until I went back and looked at Robert Pattinson in the Goblet of Fire. Speaking of Robert Pattinson, the Twilight Funko Pops have come out recently. Thoughts, anyone?

I'm hoping for the Dementor for my birthday, as well as Triwizard Harry and Yule Ball Ron. I also want the SDCC Newt Scamander Funko Pop, seeing as Fantastic Beasts was my favourite of the three "textbooks" from the wizarding world. I'm so excited to see the movie!

Thanks for reading, guys! See you all soon!
