But that's the commercial stuff that's created to sell around the time that movies are out and popular - that kind of thing does come in and go out of style quickly, and movies come out, are in theatres for a few months at most, and once the initial surge of everyone seeing the latest thing is over, they are relegated to Netflix or whatever. It's the *books* that I was referring to, not the movies. The HP books are classics and are bound to be around for years and years.

If Star Wars product line can be around permanently, so can HP! I assumed HP lego sets would be around for a long, long time and I was thinking of getting one fancy set per Christmas and building it as a family. SO of course hates the entire fantasy genre and loves Star Wars so he has this self-congratulatory smile every time we walk into the Lego store.

I remember when HP books were so popular that I couldn't walk around bookstores, library, or elementary school campuses without bumping into children reading HP books. It brought excitement about reading to a whole generation of children. I too believe that HP books would be around for many years to come but it isn't quite the same. I don't know if my DD would ever have a chance to have a sleepover at a bookstore in celebration of a book release. Well, I suppose we'll have to host our own HP sleepover parties.
