| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth-portrait right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as rendered by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II and NIUE appear above the effigy, with the date 2020 and denomination 2 DOLLARS inscribed below. At the lower portion of the field, the inscriptions 1 oz 999 Fine Silver and HARRY POTTER © & TM WBEI. (s20) appear in two lines. The overall outline of the coin is shaped to follow the silhouette of the Hermione Granger character, with the obverse field left largely plain to accommodate the figural contour. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a colorized chibi-style depiction of Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter franchise, rendered in full color against the shaped planchet. The character is shown in a frontal, full-body pose wearing Hogwarts robes in black with a Gryffindor house scarf striped in red, orange, and gold, and a matching house badge on her chest. Her voluminous wavy brown hair frames an expressive, stylized face with simplified features characteristic of the chibi artistic convention. The coin's shaped outline precisely follows the contour of the character's silhouette, including her distinctive bushy hair and robed figure. No inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
Niue has operated as a licensing vehicle for novelty bullion since the early 2000s, issuing coins under its sovereignty while the New Zealand Mint handles production. This Harry Potter series, released under license from Warner Bros., represents straightforward silver bullion dressed as numismatic product — the legal tender face value is nominal against melt, and these trade almost entirely on collector demand rather than monetary function.
Mintage figures for individual characters in the series varied, with some issues selling out quickly on release. Secondary market premiums depend heavily on character popularity rather than numismatic factors.
