I like Harry Potter merchandise as much as the next girl — I’m even jealous that my brother got a timeturner for Christmas. Sometimes though, unofficial merchandise goes a step too far.
I understand Harry Potter jewelry and t-shirts, but a knitted hat for dogs (above, Gryffindor Dog Hat, $20.00)?? Cute pug, but the hat, not so much. And there’s more ridiculous, random and useless stuff where that came from (which is Etsy, of course).
Tissue Holder, $4.00
Plush Toys, $50.00
Custom Prints, prices vary
Mounted Elf Head, $60.00
Prefect Short Shorts, $22.00
Gryffindor Bikini, $30.00
Owl Crayons, $28.00

I would never be able to use those crayons, they’re so pretty!
guest
Prints are not bad… especially when the artists portray them well. Sometimes, you just really don’t want the picture of the Harry Potter movie cast as your poster.
guest
Are the plushies’ mouths wide open because they’ve just seen Fluffy? Is that also why they don’t have arms?
@LeahGypsy@xanga - I thought the exact same thing!
guest
I SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I AM UP TO NO GOOD.
Poor pug! He looks confined and uncomfortable!
I guess the tissue box holders would be good for the finale to harry potter- a lot of tears if not from character deaths (*spoiler!* Remus & Tonks- tear-) then the fact that the magic is all coming to a close!Haha, the prefect shorts though seem smart-ass….get it??? :p
MISCHIEF MANAGED! (especially with that last pun, haha)

Dude I would buy a million of those crayons
guest
That bikini scares me.
guest
I would totally get the bikini, but it looks like it’s knitted… ? IT’S SO CUTE THOUGH<3
Yeah, just looked, and you can’t go swimming in it -____- and it seems kinda hot if you were going to just sunbathe in it… Gross. I wish it was a normal bathing suit
I would also get the prefect shorts! Or get ones made at the boardwalk that say “Head Girl” hahah
guest
I hope those crayons have gross names like the jelly beans they came out with. Bad. Ass.

if you were into the whole dressing up your dog thing I think the hat is kind of cute
guest
the plushies make me laugh. Don’t think i’d use the crayons are too cute. the bikini doesn’t seem to functional as a swimsuit as it’s knitted wool?
guest
The owl crayons are seriously the shiz!
guest
the mounted elf head is a bit creepy
guest
Hahaha, I think I like the pug hat the best.
guest
The dog hat is actually sort of cute. I’d get one in Ravenclaw colors <3
guest
The push trio is seriously creepy. Who is with Snape in the drawing? Is it Lily or Hermione?
I like the crescent moon tissue holder.
guest
the owl crayons are amazing! and i think the prints are nice too, definitely not as weird as some of the stuff on etsy.
guest
Honestly, unless those were gifts, I wouldn’t buy any of those, save for maybe the owl crayons to just keep.
I really regret not buying more souvenirs last summer when I got to go to the HP theme park!!
guest
The Owl Crayons are so cute!
guest
prefect shorts. yesssss!!! hhahah but looks like that dog is not really enjoying that hat very much hahaa
guest
LOL AT PUG. The owl crayons are so cute!

I like the prefect shorts.
guest
I think my roommate would love the owl crayons. Not really because she’s into Harry Potter so much but rather because she loves owls.

Those owl crayons = want.
The mounted elf head was a bit creepy. D:
guest
The owl crayons are actually kinda cool.
I bought a few HP things off of Etsy, including a bracelet, a shirt, and fake dark mark tattoos. =P

Prefect shorts: cute. Plushies: …really disturbing. Kind of reminds me of Picasso’s “The Scream”.

I wouldn’t buy the dog hat because my dog would just tear it up, I don’t use tissue holders, the plushies & elf head’s are odd.. so no, and the bikini is useless if it can’t actually be used. But…I will take the prefect shorts & owl crayons. =)
guest
I definitely want those shorts. The crayons are so pretty! I would probably keep them forever and never actually use them because I wouldn’t want them to be gone.

My husband bought me a time turner for my nineteenth birthday. It was like he knew feeding my obsession was the thing to do.
Anywho. Even if that hat is ridiculous, that is the cutest dog I have ever seen. Ever.

I just bought 40 cent crayons at Target, I can’t imagine spending 28 dollars!
guest
I bought a pair of snitch earrings from Etsy, very high quality and I was satisfied. My next purchase (when I save the money) will be a timeturner..

I would totally get the tissue holder!

the owl crayons are awesome!
guest
That poor dog. I bet he’s a hufflepuff.
guest
I actually want those owl crayons. And those plushies are scary! They’re gonna give me nightmares.
guest
lol I’m not even a hardcore Harry Potter fan, but these are actually not too outrageous for etsy.
guest
haha, some of these are cool!
guest
I am obsessed with harry potter. It has changed my freaking life.
guest

guest

@cherrysakura88@xanga - It’s Lily. The only way I could tell is because she’s holding a lily lol
guest
Is that a romantic drawing of Snape and Hermoine…?
owl crayons are awesome. mounted house elf head is awesome. what is not to love..
guest
@cherrysakura88@xanga - I think it’s Lily because there’s a white lily coming out of that thing she’s holding but, I’m not really sure. I think it’d be kinda creepy if it was Hermione. o.O
guest
The print with Snape on it kinda reminds me of Ichabod Crane.. O_o

I want the plushes!

@beautifullymindedx@xanga - my thoughts exactly

Those owl crayons are so cute!
But some of these are wayyy over the top haha
guest
I love the crayons! They’re so clever! I’d find a way to use them every day (^_^)
guest
YOUR BROTHER GOT A TIMETURNER?!?!?!?! I’m super jealous! As much as I love movie merchandise, these things are all kind of weird… The Prefect shorts are kinda funny because an actual prefect probably wouldn’t wear them
guest
that poor dog can’t even put his head down–he’s forced to keep it upright like that. how uncormfortable! Ditto on the crayons being too pretty to use!
guest
I’d buy the hat
guest
I would buy the tissue holders but they don’t look enough like Harry Potter print.
guest
Is that bikini…. knitted? For SPEW, perhaps??
guest
I love pugs.

I guess I am just not a big enough Harry Potter fan to get some of these things…. Meh. I can live with that.

One of the few HP things I’ve seen on Etsy that I’d really want is a lightning charm necklace.
