I visited the WB store in our shop with best intentions of buying presents for my niece and nephew. I got them some really cool Harry Potter gear, but the best thing, by far, I got for myself. Now that I am over the guilt, I thought I would show everyone my own personal Hagrid!

He's made by Gund. He has the boots, the coat, the scarf, EVERYTHING! His coat comes off, but the rest of his clothes don't--not that I was curious or anything! :D The pockets in the coat are real pockets! He even has keys, which you can see in the pic below.

Hagrid has very good taste in websites, wouldn't you agree!? The hat in the top picture was an impulse buy. It was on sale! Anyway, besides the books and some bookmarks, this is the first HP stuff I have bought. It's addictive--now I want more!

So, what HP stuff do you guys have?

LOL! That's awesome, VW. (Is that really what color the MI is on your screen?)

Hm... Harry Potter merchandise. I love the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.. they're so much fun. Then I own the two DVDs, the books.... and um... that's it. I think. I wouldn't mind a realistic Snape action figure, though.

Did anyone ever see those Nimbus 2000 vibrating broomsticks in toy shops? They were discontinued after people put rather... controversial reviews on Amazon. Older teen girls. *shudder*

I have the Quiddich card game, quidditch throw, quidditch pillow, the Bertie Botts beans, the cutest little sorting hat keychain you've ever seen...you shake it, like an eightball, and your house comes up! I also have some stickers, an owl made out of volcanic ash I call Hedwig, a calendar, all the books, both DVDs...Oh, and a Snape Mousepad. :D

Hehehehe, awww, Hagrid's a cutie! :D

I think I've seen that Hagrid in shops, but I haven't got one. All I really have is the 4 books (plus the two little ones) and a Golden Snitch keyring which I got for a present. :)

Wow, Rivenlas! What a collection! I don't think I'll ever manage to have as much stuff as that! :eek: :notworthy: :)

Most of the HP stuff I've got was semi-joke gifts from my mom and sister: HP shampoo and soap, glow-in-the-dark band-aids, and a throw blanket (which we've never even used). I *did* see the Nimbus 2000 when it first came out, and might have gotten one had I known it wouldn't be available for long. The only things besides The Books that I bought for myself are some party hats and napkins laid aside for a future birthday party with my geeky gaming buddies ;) and of course, the Snape action figure that keeps me company when I surf at home. Yeah, I know his PS/SS figure wasn't perfect, but I had to have one, and this also doubles as a reminder of the Quebec Pony Meet (I found mine at a mall in Ste. Foy as we were driving home from the Meet... I've even kept my little Snape inside his multilingual packaging to prove I got him in Canada.)

Alright, who thinks they need a Lucius action figure? That's the only one I REALLY want.

Oh Graham Norton loved them! He went on for ages on his show about them :D

I personally dont collect the WB merhcandise, but I love your Hagrid :D lol!

I collect HP books from different countries, or, well I intend to. I'm getting my french ones on Thursday :)

If anyone sees a Prof. Snape for sale... Please let me know. I wouldn't mind buying a doll. :)

:trout:

It's an ACTION FIGURE, silly. ;)

I've been on the lookout for one myself, actually.

Well... I was hoping to find one the size of a doll. A bit bigger then an action figure. Nowing my luck... they don't make them.

They've got one here (http://toys.giftvault.com/index.php/mode.toys/op.browse/bid.712314/page.1/textquery./sfID.1978/sfmode.toys/) ... but it's actually an action figure, not a doll. And there's no image available. :(
