Eight, Uh, Unique Bits of <em>Harry Potter</em> Merchandise

Movie franchises with notoriously devoted fanbases tend to share similar traits: seemingly endless sequels, at least one highly attractive up-and-coming star, and—most crucially—a vast collection of official and unofficial memorabilia that makes buying birthday gifts for fans an absolute no-brainer.
