Retailers give OOTP merchandise thumbs up

Cards Inc., the company that recently received the European license for Harry Potter merchandise, has released some new details pertaining to their Order of the Phoenix line. The firm understands the Potter audience is maturing, and will therefore be aiming its OOTP products at both young and old consumers.

Some major retailers have already been given previews of the upcoming line of toys, and have been hugely impressed by both their range and quality. Items which garnered particular attention were the "stunning" Death Eater mask and Lucius Malfoy's interactive wand game.

The first wave of this exciting new HP merchandise will hit stores this June, in conjunction with the July release of the fifth movie. Once the products are available, you will most certainly find them at MuggleShop, your one-stop location for Muggle merchandise.

MuggleCast #67: Responsibility

In this week's episode of our Harry Potter podcast, Jamie teaches us all another life lesson, I have a big update on my Wizard Rock band, and much more:

- How much of Draco will we see in OOTP?
- A discussion on traitors and innocent characters.
- Is McGonagall a spy?
- Will Ginny be used as a traitor in Book 7?
- What happens when a Horcrux is destroyed, but a fraction of it resides inside of a host?
- Can R.A.B. lead us to more clues about the Horcruxes?
- Could Draco build up enough hatred to AK anyone?

To listen, we recommend subscribing (for free) in iTunes to have the show downloaded to your computer automatically each week. You can also download each episode directly off the MuggleCast website. Low-bandwidth versions are also available for those of you on dial-up connections. Enjoy!
