I'm usually really into new merch from Potter, but this just seems like a quick cash grab.

you know it

but yeah i think they're trying to make the franchise relevant to their target market and even expanding their target market by coming up with things like these. i know theres been an HP TCG before, but its not quite as developed as the big ones like LOTR or even Magic the Gathering-- and with that comes a certain demographic that the current HP fandom is a bit lacking on. so yeah to me it makes sense.

plus its bloody friggin cool

imma go get this when it comes out xD
