Silly question?!?  How dare you insinuate anything related to Harry Potter
is silly! :)  I, in fact, collect pretty much all of the HP toys.  So far
I've got all of the main action figures from the first movie, every Harry
action figure made, and all the CoS figures yet released.  I also have the
dolls.  I have Magical Talking Hermione (incredible, highly recommended),
Wizard Sweets Harry and Hogwarts Heroes Ron.  They make a Hogwarts Hero Ron,
Harry, and Hermione.  They make Wizard Sweets Harry and Hermione.  The only
Magical Talking doll (so far at least) is Hermione.  They also made another
series, with only Harry and Hermione, something with their magic stuff.
Can't remember what it was called.  Something about spells, maybe.   So,
once again Ron has been cheated. :(  Only one doll to Harry's three and
Hermione's four.

Another aggravating thing here, they are supposed to be making a "Great Hall
feast' table to seat these dolls.  And it seats four.  There are only three
different dolls.  What about the fourth?  It's not fair!  I'm kind of hoping
they'll make a Ginny doll.

If one kids dares to ask me where my tie is, I will snap at them quite
severely!  Pull out my wand even, and say something impressive. :)  My shoes
aren't Mary Janes either, but they are black.  And my knee socks are trouser
socks, not regular knee socks.  Since trouser socks are so much thinner I
thought they'd be cooler.  As for the Symposium, I doubt it.  I really want
to go, but my mother keeps reminding me of the trip to London I want to take
in a couple of years, and how much money it would cost to go to Florida.
Then again my best friend keeps reminding me that I've got the rest of my
life to go to London, and Nimbus 2003 only happens once.  <sigh> What to do,
what to do?!
