Wizengamot News: Merchandise!

I decided to take photos of some of the Harry Potter stuff I own which, other than the figurines, isn't actually a lot. However, I have two new additions to my collection well worth showing off. This is because they've just opened up a 'Global Gear' near where I live, a shop that specialises in movie replicas. So, I had a little bit of a splurge.

This is Hermione's wand, a present from the ever-generous, handsome and all-round lovely Jeff (whose decision to spoil and encourage my obsession rather than scoff at it, I will always be thankful for! =P).


































We went back on Wednesday and they were still on sale, so I bought myself Sirius' as well.


































They each have a tiny button hidden on them which activates a LED light in the tip. Jeff tells me that they use these in the movies too, so the Special Effects guys know exactly when to shoot the spells. Either way, they're awesome.

Here are a few other bits and pieces I own. Alarm Clock (which no longer works, but is still cute), Harry Potter 20 Questions, Enviro bags and a giant Order of the Phoenix Poster.

I've also got a couple of companion books which I bought on sale after the release of Deathly Hallows. They're a lot of fun to read retrospectively. My favourite part to read in 'The Great Snape Debate' in 'The Case for Snape's Guilt' section is "Interestingly, some readers believe that Snape was in love with Lily Evans Potter from their time at Hogwarts and that Snape's treatment of Harry stems from a grudge about her marrying his rival. While this is a lovely thought, Snape's actions do not support it."
Ahem, Burn.


There's also a sticker book and the pencil case I stole from my brother about a year ago and have been taking to Uni ever since.





And, of course, my beloved shelf of figurines.
