Below, we'll give you a quick recap of Dobby's unforgettable journey, along with the details that make our figurine so special!
Dobby's Journey
Dobby the house-elf has an amazing character arc and is easily one of the most lovable and important side characters in the Harry Potter series. Dobby is introduced as a loyal, yet mistreated house-elf who serves the Malfoy family. He warns Harry Potter of danger, specifically about the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, and initially hinders Harry's efforts to return to Hogwarts, even going so far as to cause trouble in the Weasley Household.
As the story progresses, Dobby's backstory is revealed. He is bound by magical enslavement to the Malfoys, forced to serve them despite the abuse he suffers. Harry Potter, seeing his suffering, tricks Lucius Malfoy into freeing the house-elf by giving him a sock. This moment is a turning point for him, as Dobby is a free elf now!
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Dobby reappears as a free elf working at Hogwarts in the kitchens. He's happier, though still somewhat awkward. His sense of loyalty to Harry Potter still remains strong, and he continues to look out for him in subtle ways.
Dobby's ultimate act of bravery comes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when he helps Harry, Ron, Hermione, and other prisoners escape from Malfoy Manor. In a tragic turn of events, Dobby is fatally wounded during the rescue, but not before he expresses gratitude to Harry for giving him his freedom. His final words, "Such a beautiful place, to be with friends. Dobby is happy to be with his friend, Harry Potter," show his growth from a subservient broken creature to a self-aware being with a sense of purpose and belonging.
And to honor Dobby, we have decided to recreate him in brick form! This playful recreation feels like a fun way to honor such an unforgettable and adorable character who stood for bravery, loyalty, and friendship. We've carefully crafted every detail to capture his charm, and we'll take a closer look at his design below.
