| It drives me insane when I look at Harry Potter products. i really really like to buy them, but they are just so massively overpriced. Oh, well... I suppose it's worth it seeing as it's Harry Potter... |

The games are quite a rip-off, but ALL games are, in all fairness.

| The X-Box 360 and PS3 new releases are $60.00! Soon it's going to be like $80.00! That is ridiculous. I can't buy the new harry potter game right now because it cost that. |

All Harry Potter merch is overpriced for one simple reason: Profit. OBVIOUSLY! The sellers realize Harry Potter is one of the biggest movie/book/merch franchises in the world right now; so, everything costs about $50 more than it should.
F*** you, WB.

Hmmm...
Does anyone else think it is a bit of a coincidence that Warner Brothers overprices all their Harry Potter merchandise to get MORE MONEY, and now everyone is mad at them because of the HBP delay, just for MORE MONEY?
Just another perfect example of how very greedy and selfish they are.

/\ We never said that. We just said that everything doesnt need to cost 20 bucks more than it should be.

All HP crap (albeit posters and SOME clothes) have to be bought over the internet. Shipping&Handling adds up.

| I agree.Most merchandise is fake wands/clothes/figurines or cloaks.I had a Snape chemistry set ages ago, it cost heaps, but it lt me make lolly concoctions, and all I remember from it is putting the wrong thing together snd getting a reaction ( In othher words, an explosion ) I don't think they sell them anymore though. Pity.. They were good fun. |

mhm. Just like all Disney stuff is more expensive than random things. It`s business. They know kids will buy it even if they spend all their pocket money. (If they have it) HP is freakin` wanted!!
