Trick or treat! Some 4.3 million kids this year will come knocking at your door as Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, or some other pretty princess. Roughly 1 million more will go as either Buzz Lightyear or a member of the Harry Potter gang, according to statistics from the National Retail Federation. Those youngsters have Halloween easy.
