Really? Out of all the characters in the Harry Potter universe you want Dobby, the Malfoy’s house elf? OK, well here we go.
Have you got a friend in the UK? I ask as after an exhaustive hunt around the web, all I can come with is this offer over on UK site Play.com (www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/3296606/Harry-Potter-Dobby-S) . After consulting their delivery terms, they unfortunately only deliver to Europe. And the deal seems to be off, it was only £9.99 ($16.21) but they’ve sold out. Keep checking back though you never know! Have you set up a specific search on eBay? They’ll email you if anything comes up so you don’t have to sit there all day hunting. This could be a very expensive avenue though.
I ask again, does it have to be Dobby? If you can get away with another plush character from Harry Potter you’ll find an array of choice over at FAO Schwarz (www.fao.com/search/index.jsp?categoryId=3791521&f=Taxono) with the majority coming in at around $18 and with free shipping to boot. But if the dragons will not suffice and you really must have Dobby the Malfoy’s house elf then you may still have an option.
The best thing I can suggest is whipping out those knitting needles and constructing one yourself. Don’t know where to start? Check out this website (www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dobby-the-house-elf), it’s an unofficial pattern and isn’t authorized by J.K. Rowling but look how darn cute it is? The PDF download will cost you $4 and the materials won’t be much more than $10. So that’s cheaper than all the other options and the only way to definitely get one in your hands. Knitting it will make it more special too.
