Pretty sure the statute of limitations on spoilers has run out, given it's 80 years old.
Pssst: Dumbledore dies.

Unless my eyes are deceiving me,I am pretty sure the ogres are referencing Fantasy Forest, which is AWESOME!

I Second that!!
Please woot you still have time, I love this shirt but have so many friends that would point out the doorknob that it would drive me crazy

I have ordered my wife's shirt, but if you could get ApeLad to resubmit the artwork with the doorknob in the middle of the door that would be great.
Sincerely,
your loyal subject

... I really wish ya'll hadn't pointed out the doorknob.... it's boring a hole into my retinas now. Gaaaah.

Pretty sure there is no statute of limitations on spoilers, since new people are experiencing these great work for the first time all the time. That's like saying "Let me tell you how The Odyssey ends. . .it's been around for 3,000, so you should have read it by now. . ."

I love this shirt. Pleeeeease fix the door ?

It's actually kind of baffling that the final version turned out like this.

I clicked through to the Author's site and found this, one of the original sketches, which has the knob in the right place????

Didnt buy because of the door handle. Cant make a book shirt and not be true to a huge detail like the door... The only people who would appreciate the shirt would then notice the error.... so sad.

I have a more pertinent question: Why does Wyoming hate this shirt?

Wicked cute tee! Love those little Hobbits!

Apelad, do you have a first day sale total? It appears that all three of us number-watchers missed it!

Thanks TT!
And still no Wyoming! I'm close enough to drive up there and do some door to door sales.

Just can't buy it with the doorknob misplaced.

Fix the doorknob and THIS shirt becomes an instant collectors item, like the upside down airplane stamp.

I received this shirt quickly and wore it to work for the first time today. Everything was going fine until I took it off this evening, that was when it all started to unravel... Literally.

The hem stitching on the bottom of the shirt came out. This is the second gray/silver shirt from Woot! that has done this, the last one was the hem at the neck on the "household uses" shirt.

I love Woot! shirt designs, but lately the quality of the shirts themselves has been unacceptable.

So cute and the quality is good, too. Kids' favorite.

Oh I do SO want this shirt... but the knob!!! Even were it not for our own household nerd integrity, all the nerdy friends would point it out *constantly*. Pleeeeeeeeeease fix it and I WILL buy it! Possibly for multiple family members. Cross my heart!
