Has anyone else gotten a catalog?  I've gotten 2 so far.  One is the regular Noble catalog and the other is a strictly HP catalog.  I was really suprised at all the new HP stuff, a lot of which is not on the website yet.  They have everyone's wand available now, and I mean EVERYONE, even all the unnamed death eaters for a total of 59 different wands.  What really caught my eye were the new artefact boxes.  They have boxes for Harry, Ron and Hermionefor just $35 each.  The boxes are 8x11 inches and they look really nice.  Here's a description of what's inside:

Harry's set includes:  Hogwarts acceptance letter, Sirius Black poster, Quidditch world cup ticket, Lily Potter letter to Sirius, Hogwarts luggage tag, Order of the Phoenix lenticular photo, Dumbledore's Army signature list.

Hermione's set:  Love potion bottle, Yule ball snowflake ornament, School timetable, Owl exam, Yule ball poster, Lockhart signed photo, Hogwarts Express ticket.

Ron's box:  Gryffindor uniform stitched crest, Quidditch world cup map, Howler, Dumbledor trading card, Chudley cannons poster, Weasley betting slip, Weasley twins product package.

They only show a couple of photos of the replicas, and I know that McGonanall's signature on the acceptance letter isn't accurate and there's a strange border around the envelope.  The Sirius poster looks good, but I can't tell what the actual size is.  The Quidditch ticket looks nice, but I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like.  What I would REALLY like to see are the contents of Ron's box.  It would be worth the price for me just to have an accurate Howler and Dumbledore card.  I can't find any other photos or descriptions online.  I need to know more!

Is this in the HP brochure only? I got their main catalog and these aren't in it!!!!

Of all the things, I would like to see the Howler and the Hogwarts Express ticket. I would love to have both of those....

Oh, and I have a ton of products from them. The Hogwarts Express train, Marauders Map, wands, Hedwig, Fawkes and my favorite....the replica Hogwarts Castle. My wonderful Hubby got that for me for Christmas one year. Love him.

It's a Harry Potter only catalog and it's 24 pages long.  I got it today, which is about a week after I got the regular one.  I love Hermione's red crystal necklace, but it looks like a gold chain even though it says sterling silver.  If it's really silver, I want!

I received the catalog with multiple movie goodies. There are a lot of Wands. I attended the Harry Potter
exhibit when it was in Chicago. One of the props was the Gilderoy Lockhart wand. I was looking for it in the catalog.
I did not see it. Perhaps it is in the all Harry Potter catalog.

That is one wand they should have. Especially if they have all the unknown deatheater wands.

As for that necklace, it is in the catalog I received too. It DOES look gold. Someone is wrong, the picture or the description. You can call Noble Collection. I dealt with their customer service several times and they are one of the best around. The necklace would look even better in silver.

I never checked my mail yesterday....I hope the catalog is in there. Will have to go check today.

They don't have a Lockhart wand in the catalog!  Hopping Mad  They have wands for Pius Thicknesse, and some one named Yaxley.  I have no idea who they are, but no Lockhart?  That's crazy.

I've looked through the website and can't find the artifact boxes.  I'm really interested in the Lily letter to Sirius, since this is something that hasn't been in the books or movies.

I think that Pius Thicknesse was the new Chief Auror that took over for Scrimgeour and Yaxley was one of the Aurors that went with Fudge to arrest Dumbledore and was stunned by Schacklebolt. I may be wrong.
The necklace may be gold plated (microscopically) sterling, they do that a lot. Keeps it shiny.

Yeah! I got the all Harry Potter one today in the mail.  I must say, that Quidditch ticket does look nice. I still want to see the train ticket and the howler though.  If they ever list them on their website, maybe they will show all the contents. It is nice that you can see some of the items on the boxes, but of course, they don't have the ones I want to see. The train ticket is there, I think, but it is really hard to make out.

Of all those wands I am shocked they don't have Lockhart. They have almost everyone else.

I want the Dumbledore Chocolate Frog card too since Universal only has the four House leaders in their chocolate frog boxes, and no Dumbledore.

some of the death eater wands are very similar to the wands you can buy at olivander's shop at harry potter in universal studios, orlando. i know of at least 2--the deatheater wand called skull and the one called snake. i got the skull for my son and the snake for me. looking at the catalog from the above link, the ones form noble are more colorful, but they look like the same shape and design to me.

Don't always trust how they look in the catalog. I have Harry's wand from Noble and it doesn't look exactly like it does in the catalog. Still love it though.

Yeah, the catalog makes everything look better than it actually is, but that being said, their stuff is still VERY nice.

Can you PLEASE post pictures of the stuff....especially the Howler? I want to know what the platform ticket looks like too, but that is in Hermione's box. Shame we can't pick and choose what we want in the boxes.
