We, too, have been looking for toys, and I assumed because the 
movies get scarier that there would be less toys.  Obviously, I 
didn't think about it until we were looking for toys! ;)  And then I 
thought about PoA, and how the only real toys available were the 
action figures.  Remember for SS and CoS?  There was Hogwarts Castle 
(we have that) and the attachments (have a couple) and all the other 
little bits and bobs you could buy.  Not anymore.....not that I want 
an action figure of LV, but I'd like some new action figures to play 
with ;)
