Thumbs down Merchandising

What do you think to the merchandising of Harry Potter?
Too much/too little?
good/bad?
Tell us what you think.... #

I've seen lil models of all the characters seperately, like Hedwig, Harry, Ron, Snape, Dumbledore and a few others. They r made out of china or clay or something and they r collectables so they r quite expensive...

They don't look much like the film characters tho, dumbledore looks completely different.

Cool

I've got some models too. Harry sitting on the sorting hat and Hedwig on a perch(looks like a scroll). Also have some sorting stones. And now possess the HP game. Had a quick go of it last night. Seems very good, graphics are kewl. Only thing can't play for long cos gives headache(well, me anyway). This is for the PC by the way.

Usually games from films r really bad, and they r short too. You'll have to tell us how long it is, cos i might buy it, depending on its ratings...

Cool

From the short play I've had :- you collect Bernie botts beans, cast a spell to help u find and collect the beans, have to find a wizard card. You get help from various people such as Quirrell, George & Fred, Hermione and Nick. Its pretty good.
