This may sound strange, and i am not trying to slam HP fans or start a flame war or anything, but i look at the designs, and i am really disappointed.

Hi James, I found things in England to be a lot more expensive than in Continental Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Germany,...). I think it has something to do with the pound (GBP) being overrated, and frequently becoming even more valuable. This (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
