There is a common misconception among Potter fans that local retailers are unreliable. Well, I have to disagree with that. I am not saying they are better than big brand online retailers, but they are not that bad. For example, from a local retail shop, you also get the chance to check the product in your hand before paying for it. That way, if the product is faulty, you can just avoid buying it. However, with online retailers, you don’t get that options, and you can get a different quality product than what you excepted.
