The one I saw in the store last week was the same as yours.  I know I 
sound like a one-note Charley about this, but I don't think any of the 
merchandise was very good and all the artwork was substandard. It 
absolutely was a cash-in quick deal.  What compounds it are all the 
willing victims out there who'll shell out for this stuff no matter 
how bad it is. (present company absolutely excepted)>>>

The film, and anything to do with the film is hot stuff right now.

Hopefully the market won't be flooded with merchandise similar to the way the new Star Wars film market was flooded. With all kinds of merchandise that you never wanted to see on the shelves and merchandise produced where you just have to ask...why?

I'd like to think that will not happen but....it's all about the allmighty buck nowadays unfortunately.

I too saw the WB logo come up during the Superbowl and became excited for just a split second even though I was unable to confirm by the time I left work on friday if the trailer would actually be shown during the game.

The film is still in production so I do doubt they'd have enough done to be able to slap together an exciting and captivating 30 sec trailer. Especially when they are being methodical and careful with anything to do with Harry Potter. It has to be just perfect...

Imagine, all the fingers in the harry potter pot and everyone that has to agree on the look and feel of the film.....Bwahahahahaha. Not gonna happen!

Rowling has retained creative control of the look of many characters but, unfortunately, what everyone imagines the look of the characters to be may not be what is portrayed on the screen or even in the merchandise, as we have seen everyone complain about.

Now that I've rambled long enough...back to work!
