Demented newborn baby? No—creepy "reborn" baby modeled after what Lord Voldemort would look like straight from womb of his pure-blood witch of a mother. As if reborn babies weren't disturbing enough, artist Tracy Ann Lister has gone and created a slew of ultra-realistic baby dolls fashioned after the characters from the Harry Potter series. It was bound to happen someday.
Reborning requires great skill, even more so for these horrifying Harry Potter collectors dolls. They're not exactly something you'd want to get your kids, but they're definitely worth adopting if you're a fan. And yes, "adopting" is the right term in the reborn industry, not buying.
Some diehard fans debate whether or not Baby Voldemort would have had evil eyes as a newborn, since he wasn't always the Dark Lord. He was first Tom Marvolo Riddle, half-blood son of a witch and Muggle. But so what if Baby Voldemort didn't have evil eyes when he was born? It's still a freakishly fun doll to have if you're a Potter enthusiast.
Let's just hope we don't see "adoptive" mothers carrying around these creepy Potter babies like their own flesh and blood. They've been know to do it for normal looking dead dolls. Maybe there's someone out there who thinks she's Lily Potter... and she's probably the highest bidder for Harry, which is running at over $640 right now, with an asking price of over $900.
They're all currently for sale on eBay in the UK at Artful Babies. See some of them below (with links). And good news for US fanatics... she does ship overseas, but it's expensive.

ugh those are going to give me nightmares
Is this part of the new American Dolls collection? And Ron Weasley, he looks worse than he-who-should-not-be-burped.
He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Burped= Epic WIN! XD
I love Harry Potter, but those... Those are just plain creepy!
WTF???
First - Ewww. Second - Sorry to be picky, but I actually read the books and Voldemort and Lupin were transformed well after birth, Harry didn't get his scar until he was about one, and who knows what a house elf looks like when it's born . . .
True on all accounts! But somehow I doubt she would be able to sell these reborns if they didn't have those unique identifiers. Otherwise, they'd just be like any other baby.
I kind of think the point is to turn the characters into baby versions of themselves, as they are as adults... not to try to revert them back to babies. If that makes any sense. I mean, Snape probably wasn't a baby death eater, but the snape we know was, so they just took that Snape, and made him a baby.
lol since when is snape asian?
snape is not asian... he's just suspisous hehehe
where can i adopt one of these?
Is it weird that I like these?
