Harry Potter. He really is magic.

Like many businesses, Tartarus has a small collection of toys to occupy small children. There are a few that are quite popular. One in particular is highly favored. A Harry Potter doll.

Like this one. Only...not.
Most kids want to play with Harry. Then, towards the end of summer, Harry vanished. We spent several weeks looking for him with no luck. Eventually we had to conclude that someone had stolen Harry Potter. The kids were devastated. 
Bring back Harry Potter!
Then, today, a kid walked up and handed us Harry! We were startled to say the least. Then he informed us that Opie had given him the toy basket with Harry in it. This was peculiar to say the least. So, we tracked Opie down. "Opie, a kid was just playing with Harry Potter."

"Yup," said Opie, like it was no big deal.

"When did Harry get found?"

"Oh, I dunno. I guess it was last week. Maybe the week before," said Opie.

"Opie," we said, "we've been telling all the kid that Harry was gone. No more Harry Potter." 

"Huh," said Opie. "I thought everyone knew."

Note that in that entire conversation Opie never once apologized. In fact, he seemed more put out that we were upset than anything else.
