In an attempt to keep the anticipation high for the release of Prisoner of Azkaban which is less than two months away, t-shirts, action figures and the movie soundtrack have emerged for eager Harry Potter fans to purchase.

For the young fans to play with (or for those avid collectors to keep), Amazon has these toys available for pre-order (release on April 15th):

• Lupin
• Dementor
• Draco, Harry & Buckbeak Set
• Harry in Quidditch Gear
• Harry, Sirius, Padfoot & Dementor Set
• Harry, Hermione, and Ron with Crookshanks and Scabbers Set
• Harry, Lupin & Werewolf Set
• Harry, Draco and Oliver Wood Set (No image)
• Harry, Dumbledore and Snape Set (No image)

For the older fans to wear, Hot Topic has added a new shirt to their Harry Potter shirt collection:

• Harry Potter Flying Tee

For all ages to hear, Amazon has the movie soundtrack available for pre-order (release on May 25th):

• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Soundtrack

For those who love the outdoors, Snooze Shop has reportedly been selling the purple sleeping bags from the Prisoner of Azkaban movie, where the students had to sleep in the Great Hall due to Black's Gryffindor dorm break-in. (Unfortunately, the link/website isn't in operation at this time. Keep checking.)

Even without the release of the 6th book on the horizon, it seems Harry Potter author JK Rowling will continue earning millions off the young wizard for year 2004.
