LEGO Harry Potter Series 1 - Mad-Eye Moody Minifigure (14/22) Bagged

Product Information

Barty Crouch Senior: " Rosier is dead. He was caught shortly after you were too. He preferred to fight rather than come quietly and was killed in the struggle." Alastor Moody: " Took a bit of me with him, though." — Moody's lethal duelling prowess [src] My favourite details inside the classroom are the book and the chest where the real 'Mad-Eye' Moody is imprisoned. The book contains an exclusive printed 1x2 tile, featuring the Dark Mark, while the chest houses a tiny Alastor Moody figure! The decoration is inevitably simple, but the character's white clothing and missing eye are present. Moreover, the pearl dark grey chest is only available here and includes the new lid. Potions: As an Auror, Moody was proficient in potion-making, as he had to have received at least an Exceeds Expectations in his O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. for this subject. [45] Indeed, Moody was capable of brewing the highly complex Polyjuice Potion, making enough of it to disguise all seven of the willing participants of the Battle of the Seven Potters as Harry Potter, to ensure the latter's safety, showing his great talent in this field. [12] Barty Crouch Junior (disguised as Alastor Moody) hired as the DADA professor, drinking Polyjuice Potion

Wooden Leg: At some point during his career, Alastor lost one of his legs and therefore relied on a wooden leg to replace his lost one.

Summary

In the films, Moody is portrayed considerably different from his literary counterpart. Differences between his description in the book and his portrayal on film include his magical eye being held in place by an eye patch-like strap and brass ring, having a less mutilated face, including a full nose instead of a piece of it missing. Neville Longbottom wears a similar robe, albeit open to reveal the dark bluish grey jumper underneath. Both torsos were introduced last year, so have appeared elsewhere. Neville's double-sided head is less common, returning from 75969 Hogwarts Astronomy Tower and including suitably prominent teeth. His smiling face looks nice, but something more expressive would have been perfect for Neville's harrowing experience in Moody's class. In 1994, he agreed to Albus Dumbledore's request to become the new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts; [11] however, he was kidnapped just prior to taking up the position by Barty Crouch Jnr, who subsequently disguised himself as Moody as part of a plan to kidnap Harry Potter on the instructions of Lord Voldemort. [15] It is requested that this article, or a section of this article, should be expanded - Extremely outdated section. So much chapter information from years 6, 7 and 8 needs adding!. Please help the Harry Potter Wiki by expanding this article to give more complete coverage of its subject. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures

Moody was described as having a growling voice and looking as though his face was roughly carved from wood. Due to injuries from his long career as an Auror, it was covered with scars, and a chunk of his nose was missing. He had dark grey, grizzled hair. He also had a wooden leg that was described as having a clawed foot.

Details

Of course, it is discovered that Barty Crouch Jr. has actually taken on Alastor Moody's identity during Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts, using Polyjuice Potion. The character's alternative face accordingly belongs to Crouch and appears outstanding, with his tongue visible! An appropriate hair piece is also supplied, again matching the Collectable Minifigure, alongside a wooden staff and a hip flask.

Constant Vigilance!" is Moody's supposed catchphrase. However, the phrase is never actually uttered by Moody, only by Barty Jnr when impersonating him. In the film adaptions, the phrase is omitted altogether (aside from one use that was edited out). Invisibility Cloaks: Moody possessed two Invisibility Cloaks, though he lent one to Sturgis Podmore, which was never returned. [29] It is also possible that Moody's travelling cloak was one of his Invisibility Cloaks.

His nationality is never identified in the book, although Moody is a surname common in both Ireland and Scotland, while Alastor (sometimes spelt Alistair) is a Scottish first name. Clear night. Could've done with a bit more cloud cover. Right, you, we're going to be flying in close formation. Tonks'll be right in front of you, keep close on her tail. Lupin'll be covering you from below. I'm going to be behind you. The rest'll be circling us. We don't break ranks for anything, got me? If one of us is killed —" — Moody cautiously preparing for flight [src]
