17th Anniversary!

Today marks the 17th Anniversary of Tektonten Papercraft! To commemorate the day this year, I am featuring some of the Harry Potter papercraft I have done in previous years. Pictured left to right are:

Lucius Malfoy's Wand (2013)
Hogwart's Well (2019)
A Flying Key (2022)

Thank you everyone for your support over the last seventeen years! It has been much appreciated.

Harry Potter Papercraft: Hedwig

I have been reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The book has me thinking about Harry Potter's owl, Hedwig. "Transplaner," a DIY Harry Potter blog offers this Hedwig paper model which was designed by Jeanne, the blog's author. The template for the model and instruction photographs may be found here. Hedwig is a female snowy owl, a species that is native to the artic regions of North America.

Harry Potter Flying Key Papercraft

In the movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry and his pals must capture a flying key to unlock a door. The problem is, there is a roomful of winged keys whizzing about and only one of them works on the door! This paper model depicts how the keys appear in the 2001 PC video game released in conjunction with the movie. In the game, the keys are gold when they are calm, but if "angered", they turn red. The PDF templates for both types of keys may be downloaded here. The finished keys are 4" (10 cm) long.

I don't release my own paper model designs as often as I once did. In fact, this is my first release since 2020! I hinted in 2018 I might release this particular papercraft.  Finally, today have I been able to follow through.

Chibi Harry Potter Papercraft

I haven't come across a better collection of papercraft Harry Potter characters than these "chibi" figures by Claudio Dias. Ten figures in all, the collection includes characters not typically seen in papercraft form, such as Draco Malfoy, Minerva McGonagall and Sirius Black. The PDF template for each character may be downloaded from Dias' website located here. Assembly instructions are also available.
