You're right about it not around as much as it used to be.
I don't know why...if you look at vintage Halloween cartoons..Betty Boop's Halloween Party for instance, there he is, the owl, just like you said.
Back in the cardbaord decoration days of the 60's, it was a pretty popular item, framed against the moon.
But it made it back to Harry Potter, and might make another come back with more and more retro decorations being re-issued..
Future events such as these will effect you in the future

Oh yes certainly is - however I do know what you mean as far as the retail stores not carrying a whole lot of owl items. However, go to Halmarks this year and a fiber optic owl sits on a pumpkin!!! Too cute

Thats why you have to try and catch them. Kidding of course.
The dark night beckons. Bear us your soul, it whispers. Expose your wicked delights. Join the rest of us on the wind. The dark night beckons and we answer. Sailing into the shadows.
