‘Bring a touch of magic to the world of muggles with these movie must-haves.’
What’s wrong with the world? In fact, what’s wrong with Lakeland? This excellent mail order company that can make almost anyone want anything, and especially that which we don’t need, believes Harry Potter is a film.
Well, it is, of course. But it’s mostly a series of books. Still. Even though someone made films about the books.
And I understand that the film company bought all the rights to everything Harry Potter and in many instances they came up with the designs, so us muggles will know what Harry’s stuff looks like.
But still. They are surely not movie must-haves?
When I think of Harry Potter, I continue to – mostly – see my own pictures of the books in my head.
If these magical mugs and cauldrons were to make me weak at the knees, it’s not because of any Hollywood films. It’s because J K Rowling wrote seven fantastic books containing some weird and wonderful things.
Besides, surely Lakeland’s customers are serious enough to approve of mugs inspired by books? Movies aren’t everything in this world. Even if the movie company owns the rights to all that we see.
