Hi --

Can anyone tell me why all the Christmas ornaments that used to be in
the "Harry Potter Store" on wbstore.com are no longer there?  Are we to
believe that they are sold out?  Must I resort to ebay now?

My chief complaint about their online site is that things seem to just
"disappear" rather frequently.  I wish they would list out ALL the
merchandise, with an indication that it is "in stock," 'temporarily back
ordered," or "sold out, no longer available."  Why would this be
hard???!

Very annoying.  I was trying to list out stuff I want for Christmas
gifts & I can no longer describe the WB ornaments since they are no
longer there.  I just remember that I liked a few of them.

The other thing about the merchandise . . . WHY does Harry need to look
stoned?  I *hate* the WB artist who has done the mugs, calendars,
posters, etc.  The bookends & some of the other stuff looks fine to me,
but in the mugs, etc., he looks *stoned.*  Doesn't he?  Ron doesn't fare
much better I'm afraid; he looks a bit weird as well.  Hermione looks
"okay," other than they have made her a blue-eyed blonde.  Do the
artists *read* the books?  I realize I'm preaching to the choir but . .
. good grief.

I bought 2 of the Dept 56 "secret boxes" at B&N today.  The boxes are
exactly the same size, and I assumed my boxes would be the same size.
No, Harry in the Sorting Hat is quite a bit larger than Hermione the
Bookworm.  They look a bit weird sitting side by side but . . . there
they sit.  Why aren't they proportional?  It's intended that the
consumer will buy all 6 of them so . . . why wouldn't you design them so
that they would all look proportional when displayed next to each other?
