The merchandise we have in the UK is truly horrible.  Apart from the 
boardgames, which I think are quite cool, and logo T-Shirts/baseball 
caps, I am really disappointed. Whoever modelled the figures, 
obviously did not use his imagination when creating the images of 
R/H/H, used for all the globes, figures, bookends etc. etc.  Hermione 
looks nothing like I imagined, Harry looks like a geek and as for 
Ron... words fail me.   In fact, they all look like standardised 
characters from stupid cartoons.
I am not buying any of them (except maybe Hedwig, which I think is 
cute - I mean, how wrong can you go with a pure white owl?!)
