What do you think of the possibility the Harry Potter line might replace
Castle the same way that Star Wars has replaced Space? I don't really know
enough about the Harry Potter books/movies to tell if that would be a problem,
but I'd much rather have two lines of sets with castle/fantasy elements than
one.
Just imagine having Castle, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Belville to get
parts from! :-)
