Harry Potter under your pants & other HP merchandise...

Harry may be very brave, willing to fight Voldemort, and to venture 
into the unknown, but one place I never expected him to venture was 
just where he has- into people's underwear.

I was suprised to find Harry Potter boxers at the WB store today.  Ok 
I know that making boxers w/ popular characters isn't that rare, but 
honestly where else can Harry go...no don't anwser that.

I agree, those stones are, erm...did anyone on this group actually 
buy them? Also you mention those figurines in the tubes, well I 
thought they were cute, but once I inspected them more closely I 
found that they were all chipped and broken even though they were 
still silled in the containers.  Not a good sign.  

I've decided not to hoard all the HP "stuff".  I would much rather 
have a collectible edition of the book than a stoned rendition of 
Harry, or a Hermione with the wrong colour hair (even though some 
would argue that it IS brown). I just don't want it to be destroyed 
by merchandising.  I know that it may not, but it might.  I know I 
can't stop it, but I want to try.  I don't want all the kids (b/c I'm 
going to hope adults can handle it) to forget what's so special about 
Harry Potter-the magic.
