Description
This gold figurine of Hedwig, the owl from the Harry Potter stories, sits perched on a stack of four old books, as if she has just landed. Every feather is picked out in fine relief, from the soft ruff around her face to the long, layered wings folded at her sides, and her sharp, watchful eyes give her plenty of character. The books beneath her carry their own detail, with stars, small symbols and banded spines down one side and ridged page edges along the others. The whole piece wears a metallic effect gold finish that catches the light warmly. She stands 20cm tall, 13cm wide and 9cm deep.
With its stack of books, this owl figurine feels most at home among real ones, on a bookcase, a study shelf or the corner of a desk where you read or work. It sits just as happily on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a dressing table, and the gold finish looks especially rich against dark wood. At 20cm tall it has enough presence to hold its own on a shelf, while its 13cm width and 9cm depth mean it fits a narrow ledge or a windowsill without crowding it. Detailed on every side, it looks good from any angle, so it works as well in the middle of a table as against a wall.
The owl and its books form one piece, so there is nothing to assemble. It stands freely on the flat base of the bottom book and needs no fixings, so it can move from room to room as you please. To keep the metallic effect finish bright, dust it with a soft, dry cloth and avoid polishes or harsh cleaners, which can dull the surface. If you are giving it as a present, tuck a favourite book alongside and it becomes a gift with real thought behind it.

Frequently Asked
How big is the Hedwig figurine?
It stands 20cm tall, 13cm wide and 9cm deep, a size that suits a bookshelf, a desk or a mantelpiece without taking over the space.
What colour is the owl figurine?
It has a metallic effect gold finish all over, on the owl herself and on the stack of books she sits on.
Does it need fixing to a wall or shelf?
No, it is freestanding and sits on the flat base of the bottom book, so it needs no fixings and no wall space.
How should I clean the gold finish?
Dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid polishes or harsh cleaners, which could dull the metallic effect gold finish over time.
Is the back of the figurine detailed too?
Yes, the feathers carry on all the way round the back of the owl, and the books show their page edges, so it looks good from every side.
