Harry Potter Lego


Harry Potter
There's something slightly hilarious about your favourite characters in a book being portrayed by Lego.
We were walking round Woolworths Saturday and Abby excitedly called me over to look at the Harry Potter Lego. It was Harry she was laughing at. Harry all square and a very yellow ace. Personally I diagnose liver failure. And those hips? tsk.

I can't think of anything sensible or witty to say (that'll make a change) about a plastic Harry Potter but give me time. Say 1000 years.

What about vibrators? You haven't done anything about vibrators for ages. Maybe there is a Harry Potter vibrator. Or a Christian vibrator that tells you to pray rather than use it. Or an exploding vibrator for self harmers.

You don't know how close to the truth you are. There WAS a Harry Potter Vibrator.

In 2002 they released a 'Nimbus 2000' Harry Potter Broomstick toy, that became inexplicably popular with teenage girls in the US & UK. It took adults quite a while to cotton on to the fact that it's electronic 'features' and the method of use (You straddle a broomstick to,er, fly it) were responsible. The thing featured several levels of vigorous vibration to *ahem* simulate the sensation of flying....
Once it became apparent WHY the thing had become a runaway success (Google Harry Potter Vibrator, it's everywhere) it was withdrawn and is now a legendary eBay item.
