Basically, if TLC signed the same type of deal for Harry Potter as it did
for Star Wars, then we may be looking at a long time without Castle. • What,

maybe a dismal Ice Age)!

Personally, I really strongly doubt that this kind of agreement was signed
for the Harry Potter License.  Sure, HP is a "big deal", but it is still
pretty small potatoes compared to the marketing giant that is Lucasfilm.
Lucasfilm is a much bigger property, and has much more sway over what will
and won't happen in a merchandising contract, because they can (to a • certain
extent) guarantee market share.
