The Original Yahoo! Department 56 Collectors Group has come up with a brilliant idea for a new series - one that could be appropriate for a Halloween decor, in my opinion. Actually, several people seemed to echo the idea and say that they've sent suggestions to Department 56. The idea? None other than the world of Harry Potter. The idea is perfect and the number of buildings and accessories which could be released are endless.The idea began when a member of the group posted this question:
"Would you be interested in a Dept 56 Harry Potter village?".
Comments flowed back and forth the entire day yesterday:
"I always thought the Harry Potter theme would make a great lighted village - can you imagine a Hogwarts Castle or an entire Diagon Alley with all the shops from the book?"
"Dept 56 already has a couple of Harry Potter licenses - they made secret boxes and charms and I think a couple of ornaments. That's why I thought it would have been a natural for them."
"I think that this is an obvious way for d56 to reach out to new collectors."
"Can't you just picture Hogwarts Castle, The Burrows, the Ministry of Magic. And what about Diagon Alley with all those shops - Madame Malkins Dress Robes, Ollivanders Wand Shoppe, Flourish & Blotts, the Owl Emporium, Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, Quality Quidditch Supplies, the Weasley twins joke shop. And then there's Hogsmeade - Honeydukes, The Three Broomsticks, The Shreiking Shack, Madam Puddifoots."
"I think if they did a Harry Potter (BTW GREAT IDEA!!) they should make sets of Halloween decorations and Christmas decorations/snow that are removable. I know they did that for Seasons Bay but for Harry Potter I think it would work much better then at those two seasons it could be dressed up. Expecially for Halloween!"
do it please!!!!! i really want the whole HP village if they come up with one, and considering how many harry potter fans there are in the world, Department 56 would make bank!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis simply must be done.
ReplyDeleteI was one person who wrote to Department 56 to suggest this. Hogwarts could be made in pieces of 4 (Great Hall, Large tower, Astronemy towers, and back side.) with extra's like via duct, green houses, Hagrids Hut, and Diagon ALley. They would be an endless supply of $$. PLease do this now!!
