The dolls I showed you the previous few days are mine. But today's doll is one that was around here from the stuff we used to sell. (I think Emma had at least one from this line though.) He fit the theme we've been on, so I thought I'd show him to you. He's Gryffindor Friends Ron Weasley.
The Gryffindor Friends dolls came with a charm.
This guy is about 12 inches tall.
He was made by Mattel in 2001, and copyright Warner Brothers,but he's not in the likeness of the movie characters.
He still looks like the book Ron as far as his clothes. In the books the kids didn't wear school uniforms. They just wore robes over their jeans and shirts. Ron was depicted in a lot of the artwork as wearing a purple shirt, Hermione in a pink shirt,and Harry was depicted in a red and white striped football/soccer shirt.

| Don't mind Ron's linty robes. They all wore tennis shoes,or,as they're called in England, trainers. |
His robes have a Hogwarts crest.
Of course, the Weasley's are known for their red hair.
They even gave Ron freckles.
That's today's doll. Tomorrow we'll see a non-Harry Potter doll.
I'm not sure about this one, but then I am not into soft bodied dolls. I think I like them in their uniforms best. It's funny that you say they didn't wear uniforms in the books, bearing in mind that the majority of schools in the UK wear one sort of uniform or another. I wonder why JK Rowling had them wearing regular clothes? Just curious.

He's a cute doll but I can't see Ron Weasley in them. I guess the movies have tainted me there. Much more huggable though.
ReplyDeleteThe dolls made before the movies were quite different from the ones that came after. The Ron of the books was tall and skinny and covered with freckles.
