 is the eponym of the whole thing!) and one girl.>>

It's actually what they believe will sell the most. Of course it's all about 
making money! :) And Ron, as a secondary character, they don't believe will 
sell as much so naturally he is on less items.

As it gets closer to the release of the film, there will be a lot more 
merchandise. Think the stores are flooded now? Heh. Wait until the film's 
release!
