Product Name: The Triple Threat Tour*

Product Description: The Triple Threat Tour is two full days of non-stop action! Designed with the adventurous witch and wizard in mind, this new holiday package features a trio of terrors. Your exciting adventure will begin with a lengthy ride on a slow-moving haunted train, which will carry you straight into a nest of Harpies. Once there, you will be forced to share a picnic lunch with these vicious winged "women".

Then it's back to the train. After a fitful and virtually sleepless night, your morning will begin with a long and arduous trek into the dangerous territory of the nine-headed Hydra. Once thought to be slaughtered and burned by the great Hercules, the massive and poisonous Hydra is a sight to see. When this huge snake turns all 18 of its eyes upon you, you may discover the true meaning of "terror"!

Your frightening trip will come to a close with a tool around the sea in a cannon ball wracked pirate ship. On the rotting, algae covered deck, you will have a chance to view the greatest sea monster that ever swam in a sea. Best viewed in the fog, this creature is fondly referred to as "Nessie" by Muggles around the world. Though the sea beast is at times elusive, we assure all travelers that the creature will appear to you while on your trip OR we will sincerely apologize to you upon your return. Guaranteed!

Don't hesitate a moment longer! Book your Triple Threat Tour today!

Product Name: The Glass Cauldron

Product Description: The Glass Cauldron is everything the name suggests. Made from magically reinforced glass, the standard-sized cauldron is transparent, enabling the potion maker to better see what is brewing. Witches and Wizards who use this new product will no longer be forced to blindly stir the contents of their cauldrons and wonder whether or not their eye of newt has properly dissolved. Now, they can see for themselves.

Product Name: Quick Quaffle Keeping

Product Description: Quick Quaffle Keeping is a Quidditch training device specifically designed for keepers practicing alone. The Quaffle, for that is what the training device resembles, has been magically manipulated to fly at the trainee over constant time intervals. To begin one has to merely say "impiger" and to stop one says "finis." It's that simple. Quick Quaffle Keeping has also been specifically designed to avoid objects not posing as goals or trainees, so it is thus possible for practice to take place inside on days with poor weather.
