Of course you know, Anake, that you can sell anything if you market it right.  Remember the movie "Wag the Dog"?

  Well, t-shirts rule and I would love to have a HP shirt, but EVERYTHING HP can get
  annoyingly crazy. For instance, I live in Kansas City (this goes with any American
  Football town) and there are KC Chief crap everywhere. Shower curtains, and even a
  crock-pot (sp?). I can imagine a Hogwarts Crock-Pot. 
  "What better way to cook your roasts than with a Hogwarts Crock-Pot. You can
  guarentee your little wizards and witches will want to eat their dinners now! Don't
  be a Muggle; buy your Hogwarts Crock-Pot today! Available at your nearest retail
  store!"
