>about the plan to merchandise Harry Potter toys, action figures etc?

As with the discussion regarding pictures in the books, I think that
these images (be they pictures, toys, movie) are going to spoil the
images we already have in our minds.

These books have encouraged both children and adults to use their
imagination. Every one here has a slightly different view of what the
characters and locations look like.

While I have gone out and brought the T-Shirt and Mug - I am not very
likely to buy things that have other peoples images of the characters. The
T-Shirt and Mug have the Hogwarts School Logo - which is printed in
the books. This as far as I am concerned is the only image we should be
shown - as it identifys the school houses and motto (which I think may
be important in a later book).

It's a hard call - part of me would like to see a movie of the
books... part of me would not. Maybe I will get the movie on video -
and watch it after all the books have come out.

Nick.
