Each puppet took roughly about 10 hours to make. I designed each of the faces and hair by watching the various Puppet Pals videos many, many, many times, and tracing various screen shots.
Each puppet has at its core a wooden dowel with part of a popsicle stick glued on at the top to form a "t" shape. The top of the "t" is inside the head of the puppet. The top bar of the "t" allows the entire puppet to rotate properly when you twirl the rod. The "t" was inserted into the pre-sewn head through the bottom of the long neck tube then I stuffed it very firmly with poly stuffing wads poked in with a knitting needle. Then I sewed shut the bottom of the neck tube. The black robes were sewn separately, then sewn to the neck tube to complete the puppet. The robes are slightly longer than the dowel rod.
The puppets are made out of felt and the facial details are painted on with fabric paint. Voldemorts eyes were first painted red, and while the paint was still wet I sprinkled on red ultra fine poly glitter (then vacuumed up the excess after the fabric paint dried). I then outlined his eyes in black and added the black pupils. Harry's glasses were painted white, with opalescent poly glitter sprinkled on the wet paint. Voldemort's eyes look fantastic in the way they reflect the light. I am very fond of Voldemort-the-puppet. He has a great personality.
The Gryffindor badge on the puppets was something I found on the internet and I just scaled it appropriately and printed it out, cut it out, and glued it on to the robes.
Each puppet has a piece of white "loop" velcro sewed to each hand. This is so that they can "hold" props like wands (to make wands I bought el cheapo kids paint brushes and cut the handles off and wrapped the thicker end of the handle with black "hook" velcro such that it would stick to the loop velcro on the puppets' hands). The puppets also have a thin strip of elastic tacked on by the ends such that the elastic lies across the puppet's palm. A rod with a loop on an end of it can be hooked on to this elastic and then used to move the puppet's arm.

You can only make the cartoon version of potter puppet pals without making the puppets.You can make stop-motion slides with the scene creator. Just go to: http://pppscenemaker.webs.com/
You should see a little white dot. Drag it out.
yes you can
There ar some web sites that let you make a ppp animation but there is usually no sound only subtitles
The puppets are hand puppets not finger puppets and you can make them. Click on this link to see a picture of someone who made them and how : http://radio.weblogs.com/0151290/2008/01/11.html#a194 Or you could just make one scene and print the screen onto Paint, then put them on windows movie maker. The print screen button is after F12 on the keyboard. The website to go to to make a scene is www.pppscenemaker.webs.com Happy animating! xxx
