For years, Harry Potter fans have lamented that Sirius Black never got the screen time he deserved. Gary Oldman's portrayal of the wrongly imprisoned wizard was brief but memorable, appearing in only a handful of films before his tragic demise. Now, the beloved character is making a comeback in a new form—Funko Pop! vinyl figures.
Funko has announced a new collection dedicated to the Marauders, the four Hogwarts students who created the Marauder's Map. The set includes Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, each standing on the enchanted map that reveals the castle's secrets. The figures are priced at $14.99 each in the U.S. and £13 in the U.K., and are listed as "Coming Soon" on Funko's website.
Sirius leads the lineup as Pop! #222, featuring his signature long hair, beard, and green jacket from the films. James Potter follows as #223, complete with his round glasses. Remus Lupin is #224, and Peter Pettigrew rounds out the quartet as #225. Each figure stands between four and 4.5 inches tall, making them perfect for any collector's shelf.
The Marauders—James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter—were inseparable friends during their time at Hogwarts, known for their mischievous exploits and the creation of the Marauder's Map. Their friendship is a cornerstone of the Harry Potter saga, with Sirius becoming Harry's godfather, Remus later teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Peter's betrayal setting the story in motion.
Oldman first appeared as Sirius in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, alongside David Thewlis as Remus and Timothy Spall as Peter. James was portrayed by Adrian Rawlins in flashbacks and photographs. The new Funko Pops capture the likenesses of these actors, giving fans a tangible way to celebrate the characters.
This release comes as anticipation builds for HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot series, which is currently in development. While details remain scarce, the new series is expected to adapt the books more faithfully, potentially giving characters like Sirius the depth they deserve. For now, fans can enjoy this nostalgic nod to the original films.
For those eager to revisit the wizarding world, Chamber of Secrets is currently surging on HBO Max as the reboot approaches. And if you're curious about the reboot's release strategy, HBO's Harry Potter won't be an annual event, according to Casey Bloys. The series has also been making casting news, with Rafe Spall joining as Arthur Weasley for season 2.
Whether you're a die-hard collector or just a fan of the Marauders, these Funko Pops are a fun way to honor the legacy of these characters. Keep an eye on Funko's website for the official release date, and get ready to add a little magic to your collection.
