The december 15, 2000 issue has a half-page story on Potter-Phenalia wioth
reviews of 6 different "products" - here's the list & the # of wizard hats each
got (not repeating the whole story here because of copyright issues (ew owns
'em)
1. Bertie Botts' Every Flavor Beans - 2 and a half Wizard Hats
2. Quidditch Card Game "really casts a spell" - 3 Wizard Hats
3. Becham's Sourcebooks; Exploring Harry Potter - they HATED this (and rightly
so) and call it "pretentious", saying the "deconstructions are dim witted" -
Penny, do you want to write a letter to the editor as Listmom of this mailing
list, saying that we, as a list, agree with them, because there's nothing in the
book which we haven't already discussed here, in more detail and (without
sounding egomaniacal) with TONS more insight - they gave it 1 Wizard Hat
4. Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone Trivia Game - "only obsessed wizard
wannabes will survive" - 4 Wizard Hats
5. The COllector Stones Series I - one does not have to be a wizard to realize
that "three shards of colored resin" aren't worth five dollars - half a Wizard
Hat
6. Harry's Glasses - "shabby chic" - 4 Wizard Hats
