A world of yes! Of course, I've also been wanting them to make real-looking Hogwarts House clothes, and not just for Gryffindor.
I'm *still* looking for a Ravenclaw prefect's badge.
I was just at the library, and they had huge banners for each house hanging in the atrium. I think I squeed just a little bit.
I
so
want a Beauxbatons Patch. Or a Durmstrang Patch. THAT'S the kind of merchandising I like - like being able to buy mugs that are the same shape and design as those used on
Star Trek,
rather than mugs with Picard on the front. Merchandising that only other hardcore geeks are going to really clock.

Aaaaand the two-tone silver Hogwarts patch that I just bought: [link]
OOh. I want those. I feel like Fay has first dibs though.
You go for it, love. I can't get 'em, 'cause I don't have a credit card. But I can admire them from a distance.
My problem with the Snape thing is that
I'm mostly just tired of Dumbledore swearing up and down the he trusts Snape, without telling anyone why. Maybe she'll explain why telling Harry would have been a Very Bad Thing, but I'll take some convincing (And is there no one else in the Order he can trust with the info, so that, if he dies, it's not lost, and just an issue of faith in Dumbledore). I'm tired of it, and I feel like it's been beaten into the ground, and can't possibly live up to the amount of time she's spent hammering "not evil, just an asshole"
You go for it, love. I can't get 'em, 'cause I don't have a credit card. But I can admire them from a distance.
Or I could buy them both and then send you one if you send me a mailing address.
Dumbledore's the king
of not explaining things, though.
It's one big reason I don't like him.
Anne, that sounds cool.
Debet, I hear you. We'll see.
Perkins, you are an angel, but I couldn't put you to such trouble.
...otoh, I may end up using my Dad's Paypal account to buy a Ravenclaw patch, or an Atlantis Patch. Or, and this one REALLY tempts me, a
Wormhole Extreme
patch.
