Warner Bros in the UK and West Ham Utd.

All this talk of WB closing down made me head for our store in 
Bluewater ( a mall in Kent which is supposed to be the biggest in 
Europe).  I assumed that they were closing down, as the one on Regent 
Street in Central London has done so, and last time I looked 
everything was discounted - but was also the tackier end of the 
merchandise.

So imagine my surprise when I realise they have extended their range 
of products, the items are no longer on sale, and the sales assistant 
tells me that all the big stores have been closing down because WB 
have decided to open smaller shops in more places instead - in the UK 
at least.  I consoled myself with the lack of bargains by buying the 
table clock (Harry with Hedwig at Platform 9 and 3/4, to add to my 
Sorting Hat bookends.

What I want to know is - which is the best site for HP merchandise?  
Is there a site which is more reasonable than the Sylvan Lane 
Shoppe?  I really want to try the Bertie Botts beans, and I have as 
yet been unable to find them in London.

BTW:  I can't remember who was asking about them, but West Ham Utd 
have a shop in Bluewater.  It seems to do quite well which makes me 
think that the fanbase isn't confined to a small area of East London, 
but must surely have quite a number in Kent as well.    My step-
daughter's in-laws have been Hammer supporters for years and they 
come from Kent as well.
