FIRST LOOK 📦 Harry Potter: The Westminster Collection

[@BlayReloaded]

am i the only one who's absolutely underwhelmed by the design of these? the chibi designs? lenticular and glow-in-the-dark 'technology' (??? it's 2021 come on guys...). who is this really marketed towards? toddlers with a vault full of gold? 🤔

[@acatwithacamera]

the chibi design was maybe the one I really did not expect from an expensive collector item... the others I can kind of see as a possible item in someone's collection, but those childish medals... the first target audience I saw in my had was 'rich kids'... I have mixed feelings about the whole collection

[@kimmy9310]

This comment is golden 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gggthsb]

Yeah the designs of most of them are not really what you would expect from a collection for actual collectors. The Hogwarts crest and the four house crests are great but the rest looks like it was made for children. Especially the last one is very disappointing. First of all, I would have preferred it without the pixalated picture of Harry and only with the stag on it. The glow in the dark is ok in my book because I thik it's fun with a patronus. But with the quality of the picture and it looking really cheap I would never ever pay that much money for it, no matter how rare it is.

[@happylittlehippo8732]

right? and it is not only this collection...even most of the advent calendars goes for this chibi cute weird thing :/

[@AwkwardTurtle10]

As a coin enthusiast these were disappointing (except for the house crests), I love collecting merchandise coins but these are way too overpriced, and it looks like an intern just googled 'Harry potter' and put everything they found in the coins...

[@Blue666LV]

Definitely not into "coin collecting" but I can appreciate others' love for it. Frankly, the "chibi" style really cheapens those coins - Not a fan :(

[@daynan5348]

Not only that but cherry always talks about how she isn't a fan of the chibi style , but went on about how cute they are in this video. Rubs me the wrong way a bit. :/

To be honest, despite the collectability, the designs on all the coins are pretty lame and cheapen the worth in my opinion ':D Not worth 500+ Pounds.

[@jjfrank]

I love that Cherry’s energy is great enough to attract the attention of sponsors, and for giving this brand a shot, but… these feel like the gold plastic coins I got from party city for my 5th grade st Patrick’s day party. Especially the glow in the dark coin that says “expects patronum” in cheap font? I’m confused who these are made for.

[@cherrywallis]

There’s a big community of coin collectors out there! It’s quite interesting actually!

[@chanaylorell]

I hate to say this BUT I feel like this was a heavily endorsed promo job, it just didn’t feel genuine to me at all 😬 the excitement felt very fake to her usual reactions, she almost always as far as I’m aware mention how much she doesn’t like Chibbi style everyone she gets something in that style and this time she liked them? The coins were literally covered in scratches and she didn’t mention that at all which attention to detail is something she seems to always pick up on and mentions. I’m not sure if I’m just picking split ends? But I’ve watched sooo many of her videos and this just didn’t seem like how she normally acts when she genuinely genuinely enjoys something :/

[@chanaylorell]

@@padfootspack I agree 100% it wasn’t just the Chibi style either, the whole thing felt very awkward and forced and when she mentioned “I have a cheat sheet but it’s just for me” it instantly made me think it was key things she had to say for the Job. I 100% understand some brands will sponsor you a very very large amount to make quality content especially at this length of video to such a huge audience specific to their niche and it can be hard to turn down such a big brand deal … with that being said though, she has been in the game for so long and should only be taking brand deals now that align with her honest opinions otherwise it just seems a bit like she’s trying to sell us fans a product that she doesn’t even genuinely like. Big brand deals like this are obviously big money to lose out on, but when you’re this seasoned in the game it should be fan honesty first always! I would have gave it the benefit of the doubt if it was a new channel struggling to get brand work but this is not the case here 😬

[@moordgriet14]

Same thing here. Especially at the chibi I was like 'surely she is gonna say something now' but nope. But at the lenticular too. That's not a very impressive lenticular and imo it just cheapens the entire thing and yet she's acting like it's the best thing ever? What I also noticed is that usually she's relatively quick to say that a price is steep, even if she'll say it's worth it and now we're talking frankly ridiculous amounts of money for cheap looking coins and she keept talking like it was all completely reasonable? I don't know, I love Cherry but this vid just rubbed me the wrong way

[@BexxiM]

The comments under this yikes. Does it occur to you that she might have gotten in to contract and gotten let down. But no "she got paid more money than she thinks her integrity is worth" do you know if it was possible for her to back out of the contract no just assume she sold out. I am not saying don't be disappointed, but don't be jerks about it. You don't know her end of the agreement.

[@BePlushed]

Those "gold" coins remind me of those "gold" pokemon cards they had at Burger King back when I was a kid lol. Whole set is weird and I don't see any reason to collect these things.

[@peyton15p]

My favorite thing about Harry Potter Christmas is in the first movie when Ron tells Harry that he has christmas presents too. Just filled my heart with love since he never received any christmas presents before.

[@lvthn_]

you have a beautiful heart

[@flonards9403]

Why the hell is the price SO high?! Who is their target audience?

[@beautiesfoodies8790]

Even before opening that trunk I'm excited. That trunk is very awesome on it's own.

[@connermarsh7061]

My favorite thing during the holidays is the decorations at Hogwarts with Hagrid bringing in the trees and of course Dumbledore and his socks.

[@natalieng8315]

Um so is it just me or do the coins look cheap af with the printed on images? They could've gone with a cool custom intricate design like the subscription box coins.

[@kerrieboston]

@pooch&dook 100% the feast in the great hall! 😍⛄🎄 In the book I loved how at Christmas the proffesors and the remainder of students sat down together on one table and had a Xmas dinner together In the movies I loved the decorations and how much snow they have at hogwarts and the size of the Xmas tree hagrid drags in🎄😂

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

Oh, that lenticular coin is stunning!! I’d love to win it! My favorite thing about HP at Christmas is that it really does feels homey. “Hogwarts is my home” - for real! I think the Christmas season, for whatever reason, is the one that feels the most “Harry Potter” to me. Perhaps just because it’s a magical time. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous set! My “Gram” is my first name “alexandria” with a dot/period in the middle, followed by last name, “albanese”. Hope this works this time - fingers crossed!!

I'm not gonna lie, I was not really a fan of this collection. It just seemed like a cash grab with generic harry potter images on the coins.
