Scarlett: I agree with you… we took a personality quiz – I am a Hufflepuff and my husband is a Ravenclaw. We would definately buy those products.
Jess: I’m right with you. Everytime I go to Leaky’s page I am hoping to see the trailer. One of these days when we least expect it, I’m sure!
The reason why the trailer is not out yet is because they havnt finished editing and doing CGI’s, Robbie Coltrane said yesterday in the interview on Jonathon Ross. Can’t wait till they have finished!!
Yepp, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stuff missing. I am a Gryffindor, but I don’t think it’s fair. I mean, come on, what would Hogwarts be with only Gryffindor and Slytherin??? And the Quidditch Cup would be soooooooooooo boring!
As for the trailer, I’m a bit scared to see it o.Ô….
Scarlett: I completely agree. We Hufflepuffs are very neglected. But I’m really excited about the new merchandise. I usually buy most of Hot Topic every time a new movie comes out. Got to start saving some money ;)
"Right then," said Professor McGonagall, looking up at the hourglasses on the wall, "well, I think Potter and his friends ought to have fifty points apiece for alerting the world to the return of You-Know-Who! What say you, Professor Snape?"[br]"What?" sn
YAY! HBP product love! But honestly, it’d be nice if they one day branch out and do Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw stuff too.
