Pippin ... "had nixed such ideas as a candycane striped umbrella."

Sometimes I have to wonder just what JKR is up to with the 
merchandising.  It's one thing to gripe at how she feels able to let 
them charge such incredible prices when she was once struggling on 
state benefits - but a striped candy cane would be in, my opinion, in 
good taste, and a lot less gaudy and unattractive than the rest of 
the WB sanctioned artwork.  Of course, that isn't stopping me from 
laying my hands on as much of it as I can - or endeavouring to, as 
sketchy student funds permit.
