Any ideas or info?

In regards to Harry Potter, I too wondered why they only release 4 sets for the
movie, when in the past I believe that they have released a wider range of sets
(There are no small sets).  I further noticed that many places had the sets
listed as "web only" (Target only carried their special edition Durmtrang ship
in stores).

Some discussion that I have had have also left me to believe that it is not only
LEGO that has not produced much HP merchandise.  There seems to be a general
lack of merchandies all around for this movie.  Perhaps they over-licensed the
previous movies, and we are dealing with the backlash of manufactures and
retailers getting stuck with too much stuff.  (Much like what happened with The
Phantom Menace).
