*Top Ten Tuesday* Bookish Merchandise I Want to Own

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Joood - Hooligan of Platypire reviews bossed me into doing this, so I guess this is a thing I do now. It's been a few weeks since the last time I participated in Top Ten Tuesday (the themes have just not been speaking to me much lately and I've been busy with other things), but I'm back baby. 

This weeks theme is bookish items or merchandise that I want to own, aka my birthday and Christmas wish list. See, I don't ask for things I need at Christmas, typically, because if there is something I need, I just buy it, but I have a harder time justifying fun purchases (for instance, my husband buys me a year subscription to the Harry Potter Loot Crate every year for my birthday, which I'm beginning to think is a cop-out on his part so he doesn't have to remember my birthday because the subscription auto-renews in October and my birthday isn't until December).

So this will be a list of things that I want, but I just can't quite justify buying for myself. They will also probably ALL be Harry Potter related.

Harry Potter Legos

I want ALL the Harry Potter Lego sets, but especially the big Hogwarts Castle set. This has a dual purpose though, because my son already told me if I got Harry Potter Lego sets for Christmas, he would build them for me (because he loves building Lego sets, and I love that he will sit and follow the directions to do so). So I would get something I like, and my son would get more Lego sets to build. 

The Tales of Beedle the Bard: Illustrated Edition

I'm not sure if I have The Tales of Beedle the Bard at all, so the illustrated edition would be a fabulous addition to my library. Especially because I'm working on collecting the illustrated editions of the original series too (I've got books 1-3, which is all that is published at this point). I also want the non-illustrated edition too, for reasons. 

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

I may be behind in my Harry Potter universe screenplay reading, but I definitely need to add a copy of The Crimes of Grindelwald to my shelves. 

The Philosopher's Stone: House Editions

I want all of the 20th Anniversary Philosopher's Stone house editions, but I especially need the Hufflepuff version, if I can't convince anyone that all of them are necessary. I'm also obviously going to need Chamber of Secrets in the Hufflepuff (and all the other houses) editions as well (I only just saw that Hogwarts house editions of CoS were a thing). 

Advent Calendar

I'm pretty sure there's not a Harry Potter fanatic alive that doesn't want this Funko Pop Advent Calendar. Sure, the pops won't be full size, but the mini pops are pretty freakin' adorable too. 

Trivial Pursuit

I collect Trivial Pursuit games (because I'm a pseudo-intellectual), but I don't have the Harry Potter edition yet, which is a gross oversight on my part. One that needs to be remedied. 

Throw Blanket

My house has been mighty cold already this winter due to a lack of insulation in our attic from a hail storm back in June (thanks a lot insurance adjusters for dragging your feet on evaluating our claim). So this Hufflepuff throw blanket would be an excellent addition to my collection for keeping me warm. 

Ice & Chocolate Mold

I have a bit of a silicone mold collection already, but I don't have any for Harry Potter characters. I could remedy that with this Harry Potter ice and chocolate mold. 

Insulated Tumbler

I already own a Tervis insulated water bottle, but this insulated tumbler would go with it quite well, and maybe be a little bit easier to just drink out of when I'm at home and not going on a walk. 

Funko Pops

This may come as a surprise, especially if you know about my Funko Pop collection, but I am missing a whole bunch of Harry Potter universe pops...including Harry, Ron, and Hermione, so I could really use more Harry Potter universe Funko pops (just not Dumbledore, Sirius, and Niffler...I have them). 

So I realize that I included three books in my list of bookish merchandise (should not have done that. I should not have done that), but since the books in question are mostly for show and just for a collection rather than for repeated reading, I feel like they still qualify (also, as I mentioned at the beginning, this is basically my Christmas wish list so...) I also found this list a little difficult to create because after two full years of Harry Potter Loot Crate subscriptions, and my husband and sister-in-law buying me Harry Potter stuff exclusively for Christmas, my HP merchandise collection is already a bit sizable now.
