The Noble Collection is a blast if you've got that kind of money to toss at it. (No Potter goodies, but I got a Phial of Galadriel with part of my birthday money in October -- though I think I actually went with the New Line Shop because they had a free shipping deal going on at the time and the item price was the same.)

And the shoe thing -- Monday I was ordering new steel-toed boots and they went by UK sizes and I was remembering that my docs that fit best are UK size 4 but the rest of my steel-toed boots are 5s because the size range didn't go down to 4. Except that the site was showing a US/UK conversion and I went, "Er, UK 4 is US 6? Umm, I think one of my feet is a size 7 and the other is 6.5...," so I went with size 5. Better to be a smidgen too big and wear an extra pair of socks (especially in winter) than a bit too small. So either the resizing thing is transatlantic, or you're not the only one overestimating her foot size.
