I'll admit, I like Harry Potter. I read the books kicking and screaming, but really ended up enjoying them. I also love the design the used for Voldemort in the movies. I got the Euro exclusive figure, but wasn't too happy with it (among other things, the plastic cloak really restricts movement, and it's green instead of black for some reason). So I decided to whip up my own.

Unfortunately, due to the skin color, this thing was a [LASER BLAST] to photograph. It's much less washed out in person.

You know, I cannot seem to make it through even one of the eleventy films in this series, but that is just a wicked figure.

Ghastly cool custom for sure. Great job.

I've enjoyed the movies personally, though since I've not read the books I feel like I'm usually missing out on something that I should know more about than I do.

The figure is a great likeness. Very well done.

The first, second, fifth and sixth movies stay fairly true to the books (or at least you can watch them and they make sense). Three and four (especially three) leave out gigantic chunks. Give the books a shot...if nothing else, they're super fast reads.

This looks pretty cool. Now do you have the Euro Voldemort figure?? It's a great figure in it's own right.

I do, but it's in my trade-fodder pile right now (minus the wand, which I used here). It's not bad, but the green, the movement-impeding cloak, the small head and the movie-inaccurate sleeves killed it for me.
