  I was looking at the advent calendars for Harry Potter, and I noticed a discrepancy.

the 2019 advent calendar lists the snowman as a minifig, whereas the 2023 one

I know that statues are listed as minifigs, so it stands to reason that snowmen
would be too.

Is there a reason the 2023 snowman is not a minifig?


Unfortunately, most of the snowman builds should have never been entered into
the catalog as minifigures, and the ones that are already in the catalog will
most likely be removed at some point in the future.

As a general rule, we are no longer accepting it if it is just a generic snowman
and not meant to represent a specific festive version of another minifigure (such
as the snowman R2-D2).


  Or is it simply because
no one has entered it as such? Even the snowman from the Christmas Accessories
polybag is listed as a minifig. Hol170

It seems to me, that these Advent Calendar days should have a listing for the
snowman as a minifig.
76418-25 Harry Potter
76267-6 Avengers
76231-18 Guardians of the Galaxy

Also, ID conventions...
The Harry Potter "Snow Wizard" is cataloged as generic hol161.
But other licensed themes are listed as follows.
sh759 "Snowman Iron Man"
sw1134 "Snowman - Rebel Pilot Helmet"
sw0424 "Astromech Droid, R2-D2, Snowman"
sw1133 "Snowman - Imperial Pilot Helmet"
sw1120 "Snowman Gonk Droid (GNK Power Droid)"

The Harry Potter snowman should be renamed to match this ID convention.


The numbers are unimportant due to the fact that many of them will most likely
be removed at some point (for example, hol161).
 

  If this is something that I can do, I will start working on it.

Thanks.
