That’s right, Harry Potter fans! Stuffed bears bedazzled in the red and gold colors of Gryffindor, the green and grey colors of Slytherin, the yellow and black colors of Hufflepuff, or the blue and silver colors of Ravenclaw can be yours. The full uniform includes pants or a skirt, a robe, scarf, and a wand that’s either brown or black and is bear-sized, as well as school-appropriate, close-toed shoes and a cute little tie. According to the best bear workshop in the land, while the initial roll-out of Harry Potter bears begins tomorrow, more accessories and costumes will be hitting the website over time — and they’ll all be sold exclusively online. Kids can wait patiently at www.buildabear.com/harrypotter for the stuffed bears to launch — and get their hands on their very own Hogwarts House mascot. Kids and adult Harry Potter fans should get online at 9:30 a.m. Central Standard time on September 2 to enter the “pre-waiting room” for the stuffed bears, and will be assigned a random spot in line once the bears begin to sell. So, make sure you’re online tomorrow then — and get ready to start shopping at 10 a.m. (Might we humbly suggest that the next roll-out actually be the animals that represent each Hogwarts House? Who wouldn’t love a stuffed lion, snake, eagle, or badger?)
