🌱 “Mandrakes are extremely dangerous… their cry is fatal to anyone who hears it.” Straight from Professor Sprout’s Herbology class comes this wonderfully weird mandrake maquette from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). Instantly recognisable to fans, these shrieking, root-like creatures became one of the film’s most memorable magical lessons - earmuffs firmly on, of course. Created as a color reference model during production, it captures the intended final look of the mandrake in remarkable detail. From its scrunched, baby-like features to the earthy textures of its roots, this maquette offers a rare glimpse into the design process behind one of the Wizarding World’s most iconic creatures. For collectors, it’s a chance to own a piece of the magic and a behind-the-scenes artefact that helped bring Hogwarts to life. Equal parts charming and slightly terrifying, make sure you check this magical piece out in our #PropstoreLiveAuction now 👉 https://bit.ly/springliveauction2026 #HarryPotter #Potterhead #MagicalCreatures #HarryPotterFan #ChamberOfSecrets #Mandrake #Hogwarts #DanielRadcliffe #Magic #WizardingWorld #FilmProps #MovieMemorabilia #FantasyFilm #BehindTheScenes #Propstore - @.propstore
