Okay, I HAVE to ask

And so Alora and I continue this conversation:

Umm...collect them.  :)

Hmm, let's see.
The game instructions that comes with the starter set has this
confusing three level playing system for many age group's difficulty.
 I have never attempted to figure it out, so I can't really say
whether the game is good or not.  There is a powercaster game that
works with the stones and figurines.  It is a sort of duel between
characters using the power of the stones.  Kind of fun...I can fix it
so that Ron beat Malfoy and raise his ego.  Can't wait to get the
Lockhart figurine to pit him against my Snape.  Hehehe.

I guess I mostly like the casting stones because they are based on the
books.  There are stones for the chocolate frog wizards, Peeves, lemon
drops...most things the movie glazed over.

I haven't gotten into the dolls.  They look cute though.  I did wonder
why Harry and Hermione are the only ones that had "girly" toys.  At
least we could have a Ron doll too.
