Does anyone else find those HP icons from Lands End to be really
appalling? I mean, I am as much of a sucker as the next consumer when it
comes to commercialism -- after all, I already own 2 Hogwarts t-shirts
and a mug -- but those figurines are downright ugly.

And these people clearly did not even read the books. Many of the titles
so weird that they are funny:

"Hagrid in the birth of his Norwegian Ridgeback" (is that English?)

"Hermione has just received the wooden flute from Hagrid" (she doesnt,
Hagrid gave it to Harry

"Hedwig, doing what she does best, deliverying mail to Harry"
(deliverying?)

And why is Dumbledore wearing sunglasses?

"Ron Weasly in magic class where he discovers he is not a natural" (huh?)

"In the climax of the story, Harry takes over the playing of the wooden
flute as Ron and Hermione open the trapdoor in hope to find the Sorcerers
Stone" (this one reminds me of those translated directions you get with
cheap imported products from Asia like "to put Tab A on to Tab B you
will be assembling your new furniture"; its also not the way it happened)

Get ready, folks, in a couple of years we will be buried under mounds
of cheesey Harry Potter merchandise. Yech.
