According to Reuter's :

They have "signed a deal with Hasbro to market Harry Potter trading cards
and trading card games, role playing games, candy and electronics. Mattel,
home of Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels, signed a similar licensing deal to
sell other Harry Potter items such as figures and board games."

I hope Ms. Rowling is doing well by this but I fear we're about to see
Harry go the way of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Really big for a
while, thousands of completely unrelated products and then oblivion. Maybe
my daughter will want a Harry Potter Tooth Brushing Wand. I hope not.
