The name of the store IS actually just literally "H&M".  It stands for Hennes and 
Mauritz but really nobody knows that but their moms and their lawyers.  And 
even though New Yorkers might think that everyting in the world is based in NY, 
H&M is a Swedish chain that operated for years in Europe before crossing the 
pond. 

There are no Gryffindor-looking scarves at their stores in the Boston area. Since 
winter clearance is just about done, I think they're switching over to spring stuff 
now. Back to eBay!
