Which is actually understandable - Warner Bros. has a rule that no online 
store can directly sell licensed Harry Potter products unless they have a 
brick-and-mortar equivalent. You'll notice Hasbro and Mattel.....don't sell 
any of their HP products online. Places like Sylvan Lane Shoppe buy them at 
the WB Store themselves and have to account for the markup to make somewhat 
of a profit. Otherwise, they wouldn't exist.

Plus, there's no way for people overseas to get a lot of this stuff 
because, again, they're not in overseas stores and cannot be found online. 
Expres, who does the mugs, doesn't sell stuff online either.

It sucks.
