Now most of the toys were seen at the Toy Fair in January but we've got some new pictures (well, for me anyways Grin)

The "relics" look like they could be really neat.  I wonder what's in the jar?

Yup! Looks like my lad will be adding these to his list too! Roll Eyes
But .... you'll love this one ... he asked me earlier this evening - 'What would you say if I asked you for a Barn Owl for my birthday?!" *insert hopeful face*
I replied - "I'd be shocked!!"  Shocked

*sighs* I should've expected something Potterish shouldn't I!? Roll Eyes ROFL!

I didn't notice the POA folders either - I've just bought one from a lady up in Scotland! Roll Eyes
The Asda in Derby usually has the HP mugs - the 'wedge-shaped' ones - nice quality they are too!
I haven't seen any just recently but I imagine they'll be having a TON of fresh stock nearer the time of the film release and of course ... Christmas! Roll Eyes

Much as I loathe the place (cos the service is usually dreadful and none of the staff appear to know where anything is!) ... Toys-R-Us will be the place to keep checking regularly for this kind of merchandising.
Don't know if the Co-Op or good old Woollies willl have them, again it's worth checking to find out.  Wink

Well we got dragged into T-R-U at the weekend as Adam had seen the GoF LEGO which had been posted on the Forum and naturally wanted to see if they had any in stock! Roll Eyes
There was only one of them - can't remember which one either - and nothing else fresh, which was disappointing for him ... we heaved a sigh of relief because of how expensive the sets were from the earlier releases. Shocked
So, I'm sure we'll be dragged back there kicking and screaming as his birthday draws nearer and I'll have to make a point of going into Woolies too, to check what they get in stock. Wink

The mugs are wider at the top and taper to a narrower base - a bit like a cocoa mug but with straight sides.
I *think* mugs have been done for all three films so far, though I'm not too sure how many different ones for each were produced.

Here's one so you can see what I mean ...

... and another ...

The pics don't do them justice - the photos on the sides of the mugs are lovely, especially those for the POA! Grin

Here, people are selling it but still have their Halloween decortations up. Most stores start taking it down and putting up Christmas the day after Halloween and stocking all the new toys.
