At my new job, we have dealings with Scholastic, the company that publishes the HP novels. We don't carry them (much to my chagrin, as I probably could have gotten my copy EARLY that way) but they did send us a display to try to entice us to carry it. I made an off-handed comment about how they'd have to guard it from me, and they gave it to me. Whee!
Wasn't I too old when the HP books came out for it to become my new Star Wars? And yet, that's what it's become. I know how many days until the book comes out (actually, it's either 51 or 52, not sure which, but isn't that close enough?) and I found some production stills from the GoF movie on the net a couple of days ago and thought about making one of them my desktop image. I currently have a very cool Escher-homage image from a Fark photoshop contest as my desktop image, which is quite nice, and I'm not sick of looking at it.
How old does the baby have to be before I can buy Harry Potter Legos and such and pass them off as the kid's toys? Probably, say, two. Right? Ah, that's too long. Suck.
I mean, look at this. Lego Sirius Black. Who doesn't want that?

Oh man, we used to buy Star Wars toys all the time, and everybody assumed we had a kid... but we didn't. He inherited the big fat Falcon with the blender noise and a few dozen action figures.
If you're asking a serious question, I think babies start with Duplos so they can't swallow 'em or something. But you're not, so go buy some damned Legos! :)
And hey, congrats on finding a replacement for that Lucasfilm crap. Potter doesn't really compare, since those stories have characters and plots and dialogue. Besides, he could have been my favorite character on MASH.
