That Harry Potter Tote Bag
Posted by maggie

I mentioned the Comic-Con Harry Potter tote bag and thought I'd provide a follow-up, considering eBay is filled with listings at the moment. (One auction closing in less than two hours has it at $36 including shipping. You can see it by filtering for, say, Potter, Hallows, and Bag.)

I stopped by the Scholastic booth on Sunday to ask for details of the bag. Scholastic had shipped in 6,000 bags. They were snapped up quickly, and the booth sported a big hand-lettered sign announcing they were gone by the time I asked. (Was it noon Sunday? Probably earlier.)

In any case (and I thought this was charming), on Sunday, the Scholastic folks were handing out Captain Underpants T-shirts free -- to children. The booth worker said they'd been careful to bring only size "S" and were monitoring to be sure that it was the kids who got the promotional item.
