Are there any  others lic. to sell potter merchandise.  I have them 
up for sale and not sure  what to call them

I've seen HP merchandise in all kinds of places, including Avon 
catalogues and a wide array of local stores. Also, in the Sears 
Christmas Wish catalogue, there are three stuffed critters (bear, 
dragon and owl) wearing wizard hats and caps and carrying 
wands with stars on top, though they are not specifically 
connected to HP. Sears just calls them 'Wizard Characters.'
Hope this is helpful.
