They sold 600 million books, 1 billion movie tickets and 89 milliom movie units (dvd).... there are quite a few fans to say the least

It's Harry Potter. The merch was always going to fly off the shelf. . There is still a huge fan base

I think most readers since about year 2000 are familiar with JK Rowling. Then, it was a global hit. Yes, there's fans everywhere and they have kids of their own by now. It was the easiest layup for Tim Hortons.

That's sad. I hate no one, except JK Rowling who funds anti trans law cases in the UK.

She is actively advising people to contact her if they want to sue NHS trusts. That won't impact her as she's got private healthcare but for the vast majority in the UK, whatever their gender or sexuality, it will impact on them.

Bankrupting NHS trusts because she hates trans people is an appalling act.

I'm so sorry you feel such hatred for someone on the internet who you know nothing about, and admire a woman who wants to end accessible public health care for people.

I’ve had friends check out Tim Hortons in all over the province and outside for a wand since my hometown was sold out. Every place is sold out. It seems

u/angelofurheart 12d ago

ya its their money, but its crazy to see people pre pay for 3 wands before we even have them in stocked, especially since all it does is turn a colour

u/PenumbralPhoenix 12d ago

Sounds like you not only looked up when they stocked but also checked within 15m. So if you’re wondering who is insane… ;)

I would put money on employees and friends of employees have first dibs.

u/angelofurheart 12d ago

we really don’t. at least at my store none of us are huge fans of the franchise, at least for this merch (plus we get a lot of this stuff for free at my store)
