Okay, so HP and Twilight are good books and movies. But, in order to make money, companies have made some rather.....dumb (or as I say, "Kooky," because it sounds better) products.
I'm not talking about the companion books or the HP wands that actually shoot out a fog patronus at the tap of a button. The ones that I will be discussing will be listed below. I will tell the name of the project, 1-10 on the "Kookiness" (nice word, right?) scale (One meaning not kooky, 10 meaning it should be taken off the shelves). Then, I will give a brief description of the product and why it is so useless.
1. Hp's Feather Quill!
KS:4
Okay, so it's a pen that looks like a quill, except it's twice as expensive as a normal pen and doesn't even have a real feather.
I gave it a 4 because it's not completely useless, but it shouldn't be expenive. There's not much really wrong with a feather quill, but the problem comes when you charge 20 dollars for said quill.
2. HP wands!
KK:5
They're just sticks that cost 15 dollars. Need I explain more?
3.Dumbledore's beard!
KK:5
Supposed to complete a "Dumbledore" costume, but is twice as expensive as normal fake beards and don't come with the rest of the costumes.
------------------------------------------------
You may be wondering why there haven't been any Twilight ones yet. The answer? Twilight is so over-hyped and has products so "kooky" that I must advise you to glue your hand to the table so that you don't facepalm yourself right away.
4.Eclipse Chewing Gum!
KS:7
I sure faceplamed myself when I saw this. IT'S NORMAL MENTOS GUM WITH A PICTURE OF EDWARD'S FACE ON EACH WRAPPER AND A CHEESY TWILIGHT QUOTE ON THE INSIDE. And they cost about six dollars for a pack of ten.
5.Harry Potter "Paint your own scar kit!"
KK:8
i just had to put this in.....it's just a small portion of black face paint and a q-tip for 10 dollars.
Yeah, real nice.
6.Vampire Perfume!
KK:3
Normal perfume, except for the fact that it has vampires on the cover, and says "Simply Romantic"....
7.IMVU's Vampires
KS:9
Become a (sparkling from Twilight) vampire and find YOUR Bella! Ad shows a shirtless guy (like all Twilight ads do) walking and then biting a girl, who we presume must be "his Bella."
WOW...
8.Vampire party supplies!
KS:7
Stand-up cards that show Edward/Bella looking afraid....ornaments that show Edward Bella looking sad/afraid......plates that show Edward/Bella looking sad/afraid.....wow that really shows how happy these occasions are.

People post useless things that in some way show they like HP.

When the top reated post is anti-Twilight, you know it's bad.
11.OME and Cullenism
KK:100000000000000000000000000000000
Fans love Twilight so much they state they practice Cullenism and Edward is their god. To drive this point home, they say "OME" (Oh my Edward) *facedesk*
I can picture you wrenching your hand out of the pool of superglue, and yelling "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!" At the top of your voice.
If you have any more, please comment! I'd love to hear more of these...
