Good for parts, bad for selection of medieval accessories. If Potter replaces
Castle entirely (better not) then you can kiss Knight's Helms, Swords, Spears,
Lances, Battle Axes, Bows & Arrows, Shields, Crossbows and everything else for
your European Castle elements for minifigs GOODBYE. There is no room for any
classic/historical Castle (i.e. minifig) elements in a Potter world. I hope
that Potter exists separate from Castle (perhaps they WILL do a Lord of the
Rings line too) like Time Cruisers and Beleville. If they ever mix, it should
be up to the kids and AFOLs to mix 'em.
Keep Castle Classic and bring on the Potters!
Aaron :o)
