Update - Harry Potter Funko Pop Wave 3 Additions

Now, I'm pretty sure everyone's already aware of the existence of these, especially if you keep up to date with Hot Topic's release info. But, seeing as I had previously posted about the third wave of Harry Potter Funko Pops, I figured it'd make sense to continue updating you guys that may not be in the know about things.

I mentioned last time that I wasn't sure if the Wave 3 promo pics were real or just really good edits - seeing as the net has had a sudden influx of these pics and a number or reputable news sites confirming these, I'm pretty sure these are all real. EDIT: these are all officially listed as November 2016 pre-order figures on Popcultcha.com in Australia, as well as on Hot Topic and Funko's own site. At the very least, the Hot Topic exclusives are real. Exclusives, I say? Yes, of course, Hot Topic has exclusives. While I admit I will be eschewing these in favour of the basic line of Wave 3 figures, I have to say that these are all pretty great exclusive releases. In the exclusive line-up, we have Triwizard Harry Potter, Christmas Sweater Harry and Ron, Death Eater Lucius Malfoy and Azkaban Bellatrix. Here they are:

I'm a little underwhelmed by yet another set of PS/CoS-based Harry and Ron, I'm really quite impressed with that fabulous Bellatrix Lestrange in her Azkaban outfit! The reddish tinge around her eyes makes her look delightfully insane. Still, I do confess I prefer the look of the basic Bellatrix better - I also already have the basic Harry and Ron, so I won't be getting these exclusives. I had a rule whereby I only get one of each character - I broke this when I got Yule Ball Hermione, but it's Harry Potter, so the rules can be broken. I do enjoy looking at these, though!

Are you going to be getting these?

Harry Potter Funko Pop - Wave 3

Hello, everyone! So, I was snooping around on Facebook tonight as I'm prone to do, when I came across some 'glam shots' posted by the person who runs the Facebook page Funko Pop Checklist - they had a bunch of promotional pics for the next wave of Harry Potter's Funko Pop line! A quick disclaimer; I don't own these pictures and I credit them entirely to the page (and the group) I found them on, and to the producer of said images - Funko. Also, I cannot testify as to the validity of these images - they may well be very good Photoshop attempts. Either way, awesome!

We have in the line-up so far: Harry (the Department of Mysteries/Prophecy), Fred and George Weasley (Order of the Phoenix), Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Minerva McGonagall, Alastor Moody and Dolores Umbridge. There are a couple gaps in numbering, so I'm assuming this isn't the full line that will be released.

I'm really excited to see this line - quite a large number of fresh faces to be seen. While I liked the last wave, there were a few too many repeats. I confess that I'd hoped to finally see Ginny in this line (I'd really like her to be in the kid format; you know, the Pops based on the earlier characters that are slightly smaller than the rest? Yeah, I want her like that to match my other basic figures). I've been dying for McGonagall and Bellatrix, so I'm super excited to see this! As of today, I have no idea when these are going to be released. Sorry.

Who else do you hope to see from this line? Thanks for reading!
