That's a lot of money but that was a lot of map as well.  I hope the map looks as lovely in real life - I bet some little kid somewhere will have the time of their lives with map

The map is really nice, but wow, that's a lot of money!  Maybe I should get back to work on my Lockhart book.

Heres the right part and the middle of the map used in the movie. Looks as if the Quidditch Pitch is on the left.

JTobcat,

How's the Chocolate Frog coming

[JTobcat]

ha, so i completely forgot to put pics up when i finally finished it. 

      

[JTobcat]

and these are the dimensions

Looks just like it came from Honeydukes

[JTobcat]

Lol, thanks.  It actually did say honeydukes on the front and back of the box also.  But WB pulled it from ebay b/c of that, so i had to remove it in order to keep selling them.  Kind of like my Marauder's Map, i had to remove all Harry Potter related names from it in order to sell them still.  But its ok, i now make custom maps for people to order and you jsut tell me all the names you want on it and the name of the school and stuff.  You can check it out if you want at my shop The Wizard Store.  Click the banner in my signature to go to it.  I have butterbeer labels under the free props section also so you can make your own butterbeer bottles. Check it out if you want.

I notice that in your banner when you posted

^{*I hope you dont mind me posting this but*}

Good prices I might have to buy a few Chocolate Frog boxes

[JTobcat]

Yea, my two current projects are a remembrall (Glowing Orb), and the monster book of monsters (Monster Book).  The Remembrall will actually light up red when you hold it (i hope  ) either by a thermal resistor that is heated from a hand holding it or i might just make it a push button.  Whichever is easier and wont cost me a fortune to make, and be abel to replicate.  The monster book of monsters is about halfway done.  I made it to scale so its pretty big.  I used a keepsake book box for the base.  Basically its a book shaped box that you can store items in.  Yea, some other items that are in predesign stages still are my fizzing wizzbees and exploding bon bons.  Ill post pictures here once i get them done hopefully.

Great Everything looks so movie accurate

You do great work.
The small mainded marketing people at WB sure missed several boat lads of money by not developing more products.
They must all live in a plastic world...meaning little kids' toys.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

They'd make millions off making replicas of all the Candy wrappers and other litlte props.

[JTobcat]

The thing i hate the most about WB is that they dont make half this stuff and they never plan to either. But when people make it for themselves and sell it on ebay WB gets mad and pulls it all off.  Like i could see them doing that if they had there own version of it being sold, and people were selling knockoffs, but the fact that they dont make make their own and and dont plan on it is what makes this stupid.  I mean, like my marauders maps, everyone wants one, and when WB pulled it off of ebay a bunch of people contacted me saying they still want one because its a popular item, and WB isnt going to make one. (This in turn lead me to open my own store, lol)

Noble Collections said something about making licensed paper props. They replied to my message "We have licences to make a few more props to me announced this Spring on are site including some paper props, a first for Noble."  I could be wrong because I deleted the actually message a few weeks ago. I sent the e-mail off about 3 or 4 months ago so I don't really know if its still be discuss or not but what do you think the price would be for a Map Expensive I'm sure

[JTobcat]

Maps would probly be expensive.  This is mainly because there is no real cheap way of making these (this is why i dont think they make them now).  For their wands, they jsut have a machine pour the resin into a mold and a wand pops out.  For maps, unless if they just make it one long flat thing with no flaps on it (Which wouldnt look anything like the movie one), theres no way for a machine to make it easily, or at all.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I think they might not make them now, I had the same thought But I'd hate to have some really stupid paper prop but Noble really doesnt do that stuff so maybe it was a thought they were looking into it. Ether way, I'm making my own
