The last of the Marauders. The wrongfully convicted. The godfather who never got enough time.
Sirius Black arrives in Harry Potter's story as a name whispered with fear — an escaped Azkaban prisoner, a supposed servant of Voldemort, a man the entire wizarding world has spent twelve years assuming is guilty. He is none of those things. What he is, beneath the gauntness of a decade in the world's most miserable prison, is one of the series' most vivid and most tragic figures: the best friend who survived, the godfather who came too late, the man who finally escaped one cage only to spend the rest of his life in another.
Sirius Black is chaos and loyalty in equal measure — the boy who chose his friends over his family at sixteen and never once second-guessed it, the Marauder who could turn into a great black dog and who, even at his most broken, never stopped being exactly himself. Gary Oldman's portrayal in the films caught something essential in the character: the coiled energy of a man who has been wrongly contained for too long, and the warmth underneath it that imprisonment hadn't managed to extinguish. He deserved considerably more time. The story knows it. The fandom has never forgiven it.
Our Sirius Black collection brings together officially licensed figures, accessories, homeware and gifts celebrating one of Harry Potter's most beloved characters — for the fans who still feel the loss of that particular chapter, and for those who think a great black dog deserves far more shelf space than he typically gets.
Always. In rather a different sense than usual. But still.
