That's very sweet of them. i wasn't collecting minis at the time so I gave mine away to my friend and uncle. Sorta regret it now but nothing I can do about it. I'm trying to be HP Pop! complete at some point but gave up on minis. I'll collect any new minis that come out but I'm not going back. Except for Sirius. I want his 2 minis one day.
I really want a 'dapper' Sirius Black - him once he's at Grimmauld Place, rather than Prisoner Sirius. Hoping it comes sooner rather than later! That's terrible that you didn't manage to get the Sirius minis when they were out. I actually had a box that I was sure had Sirius in it, but left it at HT for another collector to find. Wish I'd snagged him now so I could pass him on! You never know that who'll have one just waiting to trade or sell for a reasonable price!
So finally made it to HT this evening. They're sold out of Buckbeak!!
One of my next closest supposedly has 20 available though, so I'll head there this weekend to bring that big guy home!
I would love a dapper Sirius. Who am i kidding, I'd love any more Sirius Blacks they are willing to release. My friend just got a new dog and I'm trying to convince her to name him Sirius. He's mostly black and such a cutie. She's not a huge HP fan though so it's going to be a struggle. I told her I'm calling him Sirius regardless.
Now that i'm wise, I'll keep a better eye on mystery mini boxes and plan accordingly. I'll buy the minis soon, maybe even as a Christmas gift to myself.
Bummer on Buckbeak! I hope you are able to go to the next HT and pick him up. i finally got him from my friend and hope to take some pictures during my Christmas break. As long as the weather holds up. He's quite cute in person.
Yeah, you're definitely a biased audience! If your friend isn't a big HP fan, how does she feel about astronomy? Sirius can work that way just as easily! Of course, I'm biased here as well - I have a Sirius-kitty! He generally goes by Siri though, so of course everyone things I'm really into Apple products!
Merry Christmas to you! Hopefully there's a reasonable one for sale soon.
I almost waited too long on Buckbeak - got sidetracked with shopping, and forgot I was going to pick him up! Went over Sunday afternoon, and managed to get the last one in the store (out of the 20, two days earlier!) YIKES! But happy to report he is home and looking forward to his permanent place on my HP shelf! And appropriately, when I found his mini, it was with my god-daughter, and she was with me when I bought the pop!
