Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theaters July 15, and NECA is ready for the next wave of Harrymania with our brand new giftware sets. We've got mugs, lunchboxes, candle holders, keychains, stickers, magnets and more! Seriously, it's more Harry Potter merchandise than some states will legally allow, but we promise we won't tell if you don't.

It's Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, and my, they grow up so fast. Harry's in love, he's captain of the Quidditch team, he's saving the world from Voldemort -- you know, all that usual teenager stuff. When a mysterious book comes into his possess that once belonged to the Half-Blood Prince, aside from a way to bring up his grades, Harry finds himself in a whole new adventure unlike anything he's seen before!

Here's just a sampling of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince items we've got ready to go.

Lunchboxes
Two tin lunchboxes, each including a thermos with Anti-Voldemort and Dark Arts designs.

Mugs
Two collectable mugs, one with Harry and one with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Each image changes when hot liquid is poured in the mug.

Pins
Two sets of six 1.25" Harry Potter pins, one with characters from the movie and one with the crests of Hogwarts.

Keychains
Ever wonder what it would be like to keep Mad-Eye Moody's magic eye next to your car keys? Even if you're not in the mood to find out, there's always the N113 potion instead.

Puzzles
Now you too can put it all together. NECA's got three new 20"x27" puzzles, each with 1,000 pieces, featuring a panoramic view of Hogwarts Castle, one of Hogwarts & Hedwig and the Marauders Map created by Remus Loopin (Moony), Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail), James Potter (Prongs) and Sirius Black (Padfoot) when they were at Hogwarts.

Magnets
Along with a sheet of magnets so you can make sure all your potions are properly labeled, we've also got resin magnets featuring the Gryffindor crest, the Hogwarts crest and the Slytherin crest! There's also a set with the Death Eater masks of Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange!

Candle Holder
We were initially going to market this cauldron as a way to mix up tiny potions, but it really works just as well for holding votive candles and that makes a lot more sense anyway.

Wall Scrolls
These all new house crest wall scrolls come in textured Gryffindor, Slytherin and Hogwarts patterns.

Pennants
Let everyone know you stand behind your favorite Quidditch team with this "You Can Score Gryffindor" pennant!

Bag Clips
Gryffindor, Slytherin and Hogwarts clips come with beading and charms, and a special Quidditch clip includes a quaffle, bludgers and even the snitch!

Stickers
Now you too can wear the Dark Mark of Voldemort and follow his evil ways. There's also a Death Eaters sticker for anyone looking to be more militaristic about it.

"...You-Know-Who and his followers sent the Dark Mark into the air whenever they killed. The terror it inspired...you have no idea, you’re too young. Just picture coming home and finding the Dark Mark hovering over your house, and knowing what you’re about to find inside... Everyone’s worst fear...the very worst."
—Arthur Weasley

Who Is The Half-Blood Prince?

Posted at NecaOnline.com

Just in time for the July 15 release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in theaters, NECA presents two new lines of figures based on the movie!

It's Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts, and aside from the rising power of Voldemort, the mysterious potion book that once belonged to the Half-Blood Prince, the shady doings of Draco Malfoy, private lessons from Dumbledore and the occasional Death Eater, our hero has to deal with having a crush on his best friend Ron Weasley's sister, Ginny. It's a wonder he manages to keep his grades up and still have time to be captain of the quidditch team.

NECA is proud to unveil these two new lines of Harry Potter action figures, the first based on the new movie and the next step in the life story of the wizard who changed the face of magic forever. Available in 7" and 3 3/4" sizes, each having a figure exclusive to its series, these are our best and most exciting Harry Potter figures yet!

Harry Potter in Cave Scene Outfit (7" & 3 3/4") - After he and Dumbledore learn what it's going to take to defeat Voldemort once and for all, they travel to a seaside cave to find a Horcrux and wind up doing battle with Inferi. Nothing's ever simple. Figure includes a magic wand and display stand.

Ginny Weasley in School Outfit (7" & 3 3/4") - Ron's younger sister, Harry's love interest and a pure-blood witch to boot, Ginny has no shortage of roles to play in Dumbledore's Army, which, incidentally, she named. Figure includes a magic wand and display stand.

Draco Malfoy in School Outfit (7" & 3 3/4") - He may or may not be a Death Eater, but Draco Malfoy, like his father before him, is definitely up to no good. Dumbledore had best tread lightly. Figure includes a magic wand and display stand.

Mad-Eye Moody (7" only) - Alastor Moody, nicknamed Mad-Eye because, well, he's got a crazy eye patch, is a veteran of the first wizarding war and a powerful ally in the Order of the Phoenix. But just be careful because that mad eye of his, like everything else at Hogwarts, is magical. Figure includes staff and display stand.

Lord Voldemort (3 3/4" only) - In the world of Harry Potter, Voldemort is the root of all evil, and more than that, he's almost impossible to defeat. Will Harry be up to the task? Maybe, but even the best victories come at a heavy price. Figure includes wand and display stand.
