    I once got a Gryffindor necklace at BAM.
    The cashier saw my necklace, looked at what house it was, and gave me an unimpressed look. I looked at her confused to which she showed me her Slytherin necklace that she was wearing. I pretended to be unimpressed myself and went “oh” while taking a step back. Probably one of my favorite moments from going to BAM.

    😂 "toucan." I can see it now:;The designers of Ravenclaw merch ask their boss what the Ravenclaw mascot should be and the answer is, "Pick a bird. Make it blue."

    Slytherin: The house for 'bad' people.
    Gryffindor: The house everyone pretends to be in.
    Hufflepuff: The house that's so chill, people forget it exists.
    Ravenclaw: The house that can't make up its damn mind about a mascot or colors.

      I agree…. but then I got the membership and let me tell you is totally worth it! Since I love that place I’m there often and the amount of money that I save is insane and is only $25 the membership, like seriously the membership pays itself with all the coupons and specials offers that they have literally all the time plus if you order stuff online it’s free shipping. Again totally worth it best membership I ever got.

    We used to have a Books A Million at our mall, way back before there were even movies. I believe they closed around the same time as Borders did. But then a smaller store called “BAM!” opened, and only like half the store sells books. I was able to get my daughter all sorts of Slytherin merch, as well as Slytherin gift wrapping. At the time, they sold a type of butter beer, which I got for our anniversary last May, which we drank since we couldn’t go to Wizarding World that winter.
