I wonder how much they paid for it...and will it be worth it? I don't
think people would buy toys based on a book (I don't know, can anyone
with kids answer?), and if the movie flops (which it proably won't),
there will be Harry dolls overflowing in the bargain bins.

If I were a kid, I think I would prefer to make my own toys --
paint a ping pong ball gold and attach wings to it...steal my mother's
broomstick...mix up a few jelly beans for every flavor beans....etc. But I
guess some kids are used to having everything provided for them, so they
are going to want little HP dolls and plastic broomsticks with lightning
bolts on them.

I guess I sympathize, I always loved Willie Wonka candy because I thought
it was cool that they invented a candy brand based on the book...

I have to admit, since I don't like dealing with chocolate, I'm looking
forward to buying Chocolate Frogs. *sheepish grin*
