Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince merchandise

The Harry Potter merchandise for the new film, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, is growing in numbers every week! Here's a rundown of what is on the way or already out in conjunction with the sixth film in the Harry Potter movie series.

Some of the best new Half Blood Prince items include: A Half Blood prince messenger bag, a new edition of the novel, a sticker book, key-rings, calendars, posters, T-shirts, a video game, mugs and glasses, statues, action figures and more.

While the merchandise for previous Harry Potter films has been impressive, these new items are looking set to be the best yet. With vibrant images of the stars and high quality sculpts on the action figures and statues that are on their way out in time for the film's release, fans are going to be spoilt for choice.

Something I found interesting is the slight shift away from so many items being aimed at children. Is this a sign of the Harry Potter merchandise audience maturing a little? I believe so. Whatever, there is a huge number of great items on the way, and we'll be covering them all right here!

Harry Potter collectables and Merchandise

Welcome to our new blog all about Harry Potter collectables and Merchandise!

JK Rowling's boy wizard would have needed more than just the Philosopher's Stone in order to predict just how much of an impact his adventures would have on global culture. For a series of children's books to become so massively popular, spawning movies and all manner of merchandise, the chances are ridiculously small. Harry Potter did it though, with each of the seven novels becoming firm favourites the world over, and several of them being listed amongst the greats as some of the finest books ever written.

While that last claim is open to debate, there’s no denying that the Harry Potter story and characters have become so firmly ingrained in the modern psyche that it can be strange to think of a time before Muggles and MudBloods were common knowledge to millions of readers.

So welcome to our new blog, where we will be covering the best of recent and classic Harry Potter merchandise in detail!
