It's fucking scary. They're trying to get kids to pay for what exactly? I don't want to be the spoilsport here, but, erm... wizarding and spelles and all that shit is, like, complete fantasy, and so you don't need to pay $3.95 a month to figure it out for yourself.

$3.95 a month? Shit, lots of people used to pay $3.95 an hour for that sort of thing.

Shoddy toys break the Harry Potter spell: "The Telegraph commissioned the experiment after receiving complaints about the Professor Snapes Potion Class and Harry Potter Magic Wand, which are already among the most-wanted presents on children's Christmas lists...The gaudy green, purple, grey and orange-coloured plastic and cardboard parts made flimsy and disposable toys...Mattel, the American toy company, is the main Harry Potter toy manufacturer, responsible for the Potion Class and the spellcasting playset."

I got to play the alpha for Wiz Mansion, and it was actually pretty fun (in a waste your time neo pets sort of way) and they had some cute ideas.
I was dissapointed that they're charging so much, especially without letting people preview what they are getting. Oh well.

If you want, you can request a character as of the 18th of November, and the sorting starts on December 1st.
And: I just got back from the movie. I loved it.
