New Ron Weasley Gryffindor Keeper Shirt!

With the release date of “Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince” approaching slowly but surely, new merchandise is starting to surface online. The German retailer Elbenwald has just launched a series of new HBP themed T-shirts for sale in Germany (and possibly elsewhere). The full range of product can be seen on their website, but what interests us is “The Gryffindor Quidditch” collection, with many shirts featuring the various positions on the team — among them the Keeper of course. The collection showcases a photo of Rupert Grint as Ron in his Quiddich gear (a great model indeed!), and there even seems to be a shirt with the words “R. Weasley” and No. 1 on the back (but it’s currently not available for purchase — perhaps it will be released later). Anyway, take a look at all the designs here.

There is a total of five clips, each one of them lasting 5 minutes flat. Continue reading
