Overheard in Target the other night:

Teen #1: “Harry Potter is so, like, overdone!”
Teen #2: “Well, it is like so popular, with the books and movies and everyone reading them.”
Teen #1: “Yeah, but it’s on everything. Look: there’s Harry Potter pens and bags. I’m so sick of Harry Potter!”

And you know, in a way, Teen #1’s right. It’s one thing to sell a book or a movie, but the world is totally saturated with Harry Potter stuff. From low-end items like gift bags with Daniel/Emma/Rupert’s faces splashed on them, to the higher end stuff, like the Triwizard Champions wand set, which sits proudly in M’s room.

So, in honor of there being only two days left until the end, I set out to find the most unusual, most unique Harry Potter kitsch out there.

In my looking, I found lots of the usual stuff: t-shirts, posters, bags. This was my favorite:

Amazon had a whole four pages of Harry Potter watches. And if you aren’t a Gryffindor fan, there are shops for Ravenclaw, Sytherin, and Hufflepuff houses, too. They’re even pandering to the parents who want educational toys for their kids, but still want Harry Potter toys (there’s this one, too). It’s never too early to get Halloween costume ideas. You could try McGonagall, Flitwick, Hooch, or Dumbledore this year, instead of the usual Harry/Hermione fare.

Though, I have to admit, this is rather frightening:

The merchandise isn’t limited to the tons of costumes or Lego toys out there. Love Harry so much that you would like to have him around all the time? Try the Dumbledore’s Army throw pillow:

(Throw Pillows not your style? Try the Marauder’s Map wall scroll instead) Even better: have Daniel Radcliff right next to your head every night!

Under the category “completely impractical but probably collector’s items somewhere”

And, hands down, the thing that made me laugh the most (found on Ebay, of course):

Try that one on for size. I’m done being saturated.
