Powers, aka Authorities, are the armed warriors of the angelic hierarchy. More than tht, they are the bearers of onscience and keepers of history, and the most loyal types of angels. Some traditions hold that Satan was formerly a Power, others a Cherub, and others an Archangel, but note that the Powers are important enough to be included in that group.

DOLLS IN LINE: Harry; Hermione
SPECIAL FEATURES: Changing mirror images; magnetic broom & snitch; owl's wings flap; Sorting Hat's mouth opens
PERSONAL FUN FACT written by my sister: I favor the side of the mirror with the silver shiny paper instead of the side shown for some reason. I think--and this is going to sound crazy--it's because that shiny silver sticky paper (and I'm pretty sure that's all the silver side is) reminds me of my Memere! She had some in her art room when I was growing up and it mesmerized me. This mirror is the biggest accessory I have for my dolls. It's so tall that it keeps my Magical Powers dolls on the middle shelf with the taller dolls from 2018 and later instead of on the top shelf with the shorter, older dolls. If I get anymore Harry Potter dolls (which I'm not banking on because Mattel supposedly isn't going to make them anymore, but I never expected a 2018 relaunch), the mirror will have to be put away so that Harry and Hermione can move to the top shelf, which is shorter. I'm honestly happy that it presently gives me an excuse to keep them in the middle shelf of the display. I like that they are nearer to me. They are still my favorite pair in my collection. Harry's outfit isn't nearly as impressive as the Quidditch uniform that comes with my Quidditch Harry. However, the white corduroy fabric appears to be the same. It's such a soft, beautiful material. The shirt is adorable, with its yellow stripes. I love the Gryffindor badge on it. I've always liked his brown loafers. They look comfortable (if plastic shoes can be comfortable). The arm and knee pads are a thoughtful addition to the set, but completely impractical. They don't stay on unless I use elastics to keep them on. The same can be said of his glasses. They are a pain. The Snitch can be held to his hand by a magnet. His broom can too, but it doesn't stay in place nicely if I try to get him to "ride" the broom. The broom is really heavy. All the accessories are excellent quality. His wand is so cool. Back when the older dolls were my only dolls, I guarded my Magical Powers wands--the only two in my collection that came with wands--very safely. Nowadays, they are in a compartment of a craft box with a lot of wands, but they are easy to distinguish because they are a chunkier design and thicker plastic than the newer wands. The Sorting Hat is awesome. It doesn't stay on his head well, but if you push into it, the hat's mouth will move! Hedwig can also move her wings. She's really cute! I still play with these accessories, even in my 30s!

William T. Powers and his family arrived in Grand Rapids June 1847 from Troy, Rensselaer, New York. He was a successful lumberman, one of the first furniture businessman in early Grand Rapids 1840s–50s and owner of the Powers Grand Opera House/Theatre. He never sought office but was elected mayor of Grand Rapids in 1857. He is closely associated with John Ball who married his cousin Mary Thompson Webster. John Ball's sister Deborah (Ball) Powers was William Thompson's aunt through marriage.
William T. Powers, manufacturer and capitalist, was born at Bristol, Grafton, New Hampshire, July 8, 1820. His parents Jonathan and Anna (Kendall) Powers, were natives of the same place involved in the making of fabrics along the river on Central Avenue in Bristol. In 1826 the family removed Lansingburgh, New York, where he received a common school education, and after he was eighteen years of age learned the trade of cabinet maker. He early showed aptness and skill at machine work, a faculty which ever after proved useful and profitable to him. In June, 1847, Mr. Powers and his family, then consisting of his wife and one child, came to Grand Rapids. His chief business capital at the time was a good trade, about $300, in cash, a pair of willing hands and a spirit of energy and determination.
Here he began work in a small shop at the southeast corner of Fountain and Ionia streets, where he rented bench room. Soon afterward he secured better quarters by the east bank of the river above Bridge street and began working by machinery, using water power; making furniture of nearly all kinds then produced, and chairs, not only for the home trade, but for exportation, and having a salesroom near the foot of Canal Street. In 1849 he formed a partnership with Ebenezer Morris Ball, under the firm name of Powers & Ball, in the furniture trade, their business place being near where is the south entrance to the Arcade.
In 1852 they built a sawmill to which they added a larger structure for a factory, on Erie street, where the business grew rapidly; soon giving work to some forty employes [sic], and establishing an export trade in ready made stock for chairs, furniture and reapers. In January, 1855, this partnership was dissolved and Mr. Powers turned his attention to lumbering, operating a steam mill with a circular saw, the first of its kind in this part of the State, which the firm had built above Leonard street on the west bank of the river. About the same time he constructed a machine with a gang of circular saws for slitting thick plank into siding and flooring. Again he added furniture making to his business, and for a time before the civil war had an extensive sales room on Canal street, near Erie.
In 1865 and 1866 he purchased the river frontage necessary and in the three following years constructed the West Side Water Power Canal, a description of which is given in this book. As a builder since he came to Grand Rapids, Mr. Powers has erected some thirty or more structures for houses, mills, stores, factories and other purposes. Most prominent among these is Powers' Grand Opera House. Notable in his work, also, is the Arcade artesian well, where so many thousands daily partake of its refreshing waters, free - a public benefaction.
In 1880 he caused the organizing of an electric lighting plant and company in this city, the first city lighting by electricity in the State. The works are operated chiefly by water power. William T. Powers & Son in 1885 purchased and have since operated the Michigan Iron Works at the foot of Louis street. Indomitable and persistent industry and energy have marked the career of Mr. Powers in Grand Rapids; and besides his successful enterprises at home he has been actively and prosperously engaged in the development of valuable properties in and near Spearfish, Lawrence county, Dakota Territory - the Black Hills region - where he has a water power of some 300 to 400 horse power, some manufacturing buildings, and about 400 acres of land. He has always exhibited great interest in the material growth and advancement of Grand Rapids.
He was chosen City Treasurer in 1853 and again in 1854, serving two terms. In 1857 he was elected Mayor and served one term, during which he started and gave a lasting impetus to the system of street improvements that has been so prominent a factor in city development and progress. Similarly he has stimulated municipal growth by his service in the Board of Public Works from 1873 to 1878, where he was prominent in the establishment of the water works system. As a politician he has never sought office, but has been a steady and active adherent of the Democratic party.
As a man, an influential citizen and a neighbor, he is held in universal esteem. From a modest beginning, he has built himself a fine estate and secured a handsome competence, in the accumulation of which he has exhibited rare forecast and sound judgment. He is yet vigorous and in active business. Mr. Powers married, in 1838, at Troy, New York, Louisa Hall, a native of London, England. of six children born to them, four are living - William Henry, Sara Anna, Mary Louisa and Charles Ball Powers.
He died at the home of his daughter Mary Louisa (Powers) Spooner, College Avenue, Grand Rapids.

PERSONAL FUN FACT written by my sister: This may be the coolest Harry Potter doll I own. Aside from my Magical Powers Harry, this is the doll I most vividly remember getting. I was ecstatic the night that Shelly and Dad came home from buying pizza and surprised me with her! I guess that our family hasn't changed much in more than a decade--my sister and I still frequently come home with toys when we're supposed to be grocery shopping. I hadn't gone with them on the pizza run, which ended up involving a pit stop for toys, because I was studying for a history test. I was in tenth grade and it was sometime in the fall. I still remember where I was sitting at the dining room table when Shelly pulled Hermione out of a bag! Aside from being one of the best surprises I ever got, this doll is just so cool. Her outfit is adorable and her accessories are even cooler than any of my other Harry Potter dolls'. I played a lot with the cauldron, trunk, and potions bottles. The doll herself has a less attractive face than the Wizard Sweets and Magical Talking dolls, but her theme, outfit, and accessories are pure awesomeness. Of all my Harry Potter dolls, she is one of my favorites sentimentally and, while I prefer the styling of the 2018-2020 dolls in general, I still think this doll's basic Hogwarts attire and awesome accessories still make her one of my aesthetic favorites too!

Hiram Powers (June 29, 1805 - June 27, 1873) was an American neoclassical sculptor.
The son of a farmer, Powers was born in Woodstock, Vermont, on the July 29, 1805.
In 1818 his father moved to Ohio, about six miles from Cincinnati, where the son attended school for about a year, staying meanwhile with his brother, a lawyer in Cincinnati. After leaving school he found employment superintending a reading-room in connection with the chief hotel of the town, but being, in his own words, forced at last to leave that place as his clothes and shoes were fast leaving him, he became a clerk in a general store. At age 17, Powers became an assistant to Luman Watson, Cincinnati's early wooden clockmaker. Powers was skilled in modelling figures. Watson owned a clock and organ factory, Powers set himself to master the construction of the instruments, displaying an aptitude which in a short time enabled him to become the first mechanic in the factory.
In 1826 he began to frequent the studio of Frederick Eckstein, and at once conceived a strong passion for the art of sculpture. His proficiency in modelling secured him the situation of general assistant and artist of the Western Museum, kept by a Louisiana naturalist of French extraction named Joseph Dorfeuille, where his ingenious representation of the infernal regions to illustrate the more striking scenes in the poem of Dante met with extraordinary success. The idea for this entertainment was conceived by Fanny Trollope. After studying thoroughly the art of modeling and casting, at the end of 1834 he went to Washington DC, where his remarkable gifts soon awakened general attention.
In 1837 he settled in Florence, where he remained till his death, though he did travel to England during this time. He developed a thriving business in portraiture and "fancy" parlor busts, but he also devoted his time to creating life-size, full-figure ideal subjects, many of which were also isolated as a bust. In 1839 his statue of Eve excited the warm admiration of Bertel Thorvaldsen, and in 1843 he produced his celebrated statue The Greek Slave, which at once gave him a place among the leading sculptors of his time. It was exhibited at the centre of the Crystal Palace Exhibition and Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote a sonnet on it. The sculpture The Greek Slave became an abolitionist cause and copies of it appeared in many Union-supporting state houses. Among the best known of his other ideal statues are The Fisher Boy, Il Penseroso, "Eve Disconsolate", California, America and The Last of the Tribe (also called The Last of Her Tribe).
