commercialization of HP

I just got the latest Warner Brothers catalog in the mail today; and 
there is a whole @#$#)%load of Harry Potter crap.  Mostly the same 
stuff as has been on their website - tons of t-shirts, baseball caps, 
ornaments, frames, bookends, backpack (although the Quidditch sports 
bag, t-shirts and hats are not in the catalog), 5 different watches, 
etc.  There is also a trivia boardgame, another boardgame and a pack 
of UNO cards.

Like many, if not most people in this group, I have mixed feelings 
about this stuff.  Part of me is really disgusted by the 
commercialization of the HP books, but part of me is reaching for my 
checkbook - after all, I do need a new watch....
