Funko Pop Professor Quirrell | Harry Potter figures

Professor Quirrell (Harry Potter)

A terrifying appearance

For this exclusive action figure at the 2018 New York Comic Con, Funko has therefore represented Professor Quirrell. He wears his sober costume with his gray wizard robe acting more as a cape revealing the sleeves of his brown suit. But above all he wears this funny purple turban that is a bit different from the rest of his outfit and that never leaves him. But what makes this figurine so special is that the turban is removable and that underneath, we can see Voldemort’s face with his gray skin, his almost absent nose and the scars on his face.

A Terrible Secret

Professor Quirrell is the professor of defense against the forces of evil in the first Harry Potter book. Harry first met him at Leaky Cauldron when Hagrid introduced him to the world of magic. He seems rather shy and even stutters a bit. While Harry is accompanying Hagrid to the bank, Hagrid picks up something for Dumbledore. Later that year, Harry learns that it was the Philosopher’s Stone and that someone tried to steal it from the bank and then from the school where it was hidden. Harry and his friends’ suspicions immediately turn to Professor Snape and his somewhat dark reputation. But when they decide to go and steal the stone themselves to protect it from anyone who wants to steal it, they are surprised to find that it was Professor Quirrell who wanted to steal it and not Snape. But he didn’t want to steal it for himself but actually for Voldemort who was neither dead nor completely alive was like a kind of parasite hanging on the back of the professor’s skull.
