Harry Potter Holiday Magic Advent Calendar 2021 ⚡

[@cherrywallis]

WOAH... can you believe we're on Advent Calendar Day 6 already?! (I can't!) Here's another MAGICAL Advent Calendar for you today, this one is by Insight Editions, and it was a delight to open. So settle down, grab a cuppa and/or a cosy blanket - and join me whilst we see what's inside! ✨

[@corbenhoward3752]

You spoil us 2 much

[@bookaholic1431]

Getting the magical vibes!😊

[@melissacorrigan84]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how she shows off a product like she’s showcasing expensive jewelry? She gives everything it’s moment I love her professionalism 😍

The mirror of Erised ornament is a picture frame so you can put a picture of whatever your heart desires inside.

[@eva_fr]

The mirror of Erised is a picture holder. 😊

[@vicvickyrox]

We need more upvotes so Cherry will see this!! Haha i wanna see her reaction to finding out you can put a picture in

[@S.M2109]

@@vicvickyrox omg yesss

[@Sophiehouses]

Omg! I actually have this and I am so I exited to know this so I can use it so! Thank you!

[@TheSuperkittykatgirl]

The mirror of erised ornament is actually a photo-frame that you can put any picture it and hang it on your tree if you want.

[@kaitdeedee1675]

So two things for you. The chocolate frog is a scratch and sniff!! Also the Mirror of erised has an opening in the side to put a picture in that you want.

[@ashleyfletchall4039]

Those paper bobbles would be ADORABLE in this cute little clear diy ornaments that open for pictures to go in. They are gorgeous and that would preserve them!

[@MissKirscheDeluxe]

Just watched an unboxing for this calendar 2 hours ago but that's not stopping me watching you unbox it, too. :D (Edit: The Chocolate Frog-sticker smells like chocolate)

[@cherrywallis]

Appreciate that! 💖

[@lisaw.8036]

Same haha 😄

[@hananeblanton5129]

Cherry's are the best unboxing!

[@tubazehra5935]

Same fr 😭

[@nataliepenna8618]

If you had a secret santa with three friends you could put those house paper baubles on as the tags and everyone needs to draw a house from a sorting hat and that's the gift they end up with.

[@roisinohagan1711]

Love this...all the treasures would really suit a papercrafter who's keeping a HP themed December Daily, hidden flaps, pull-outs and tiny moments of journaling...tfs, am off to buy one !!!

[@angelicanoguera1155]

This has to be my favorite advent calander so far, I'm a sucker for paper like goodies because they are good for decor

[@hanan98ahmed31]

The mirror is so cute, I think it will look adorable if you stick a happy picture of someone you love on it (like a picture frame).

[@davidlove236]

This is my favorite HP advent calendar. I like that you get all 4 houses at once when they pop up as well as just the types of things that came in this calendar.

[@charlottsie2187]

I had super low expectations for this and then it turned out to be one of the best calendars I've seen

[@HappyGnoux]

I've never seen a calendar like that. It would have been even better if it had been like a proper full stationary calendar. But for this price, this was a very interesting concept :)

[@Laura_RN_AZ]

Apparently, the mirror of Erised ornament is clear so you can place a photo inside (it should flap open) and always see your heart's desire.

[@debbieadams2695]

Really cute calendar! I would poke a little hole in the round 'coasters' and insert a string and use as ornaments or gift tags.

[@stephaniewilliams498]

I think the paper clip would be a good bookmark, but really everything could be made into a ornament for a mini tree

[@tizzles12]

Been loving advent calendar week! I've been really poorly all week and your advent calendar videos have been the highlight of my day! I'm sad we only have 1 more left!

[@elecops9825]

It's interesting that it's almost identical to the Friends advent calender! Definitely must be the same company as the design is the same. I have the Friends one to my sister a couple of years ago. It was the same: tags, bookmark, keyring, postcards, a Thanksgiving recipe book, a facts book, colouring book and a door hanging too.

[@Jodiice1981]

I came here to say the same thing after watching the friends one unboxed it must be the same company. I was gobsmacked at how much it cost for the friends one and sad that this one appears to be more expensive! I didn’t think they did just one sticker and one clip on a day in that either? When I saw the design and name I worried it would be the same thing and then when she opened day one my heart just dropped for her. I mean honestly, Christmas Eve? That’s something you could google and print off in under 5 minutes…

[@KayleighChristensen]

This was such a sweet and different magical calendar, really enjoyed this ☺️

[@lilyhammond8069]

I love these calendar videos so much, they make me feel so excited for Christmas!!

[@katerinafanou]

Tbh the presentation of this calendar felt so magical and Christmas to me✨ I think it's my favorite calendar so far✨

[@mr_kieran_mh]

Ah yes, it’s the ‘other’ twin 😍✨ LOVE your new merch designs, can’t wait to do some much needed Christmas shopping!

[@lori.sabrina]

I like the variety of the items! I thought it would be more repetitive for a paper calendar. The presentation is GORGEOUS! I love the envelopes 😊

[@nataleeluke1966]

diid u get it?

[@lunaargentum1743]

i love the tiny replicas and the teeny tiny books and cards with interesting info, i also like that if it's house themed, you get all the houses in one day and that no house is left out. also it's not too expensive and we all love cute collectible stationary products, don't we?

[@shl24yw89]

How does Cherry makes so much videos? She literally uploads once a day. I barely keep up. I'm so shooked by the amount of boxes that need to be unbox. There's so many.

[@alliewhite5579]

I assume she probably make a few videos a day so there's no daily filming/editing and in advance too

[@shanandradupuis7084]

Why are these videos so addicting

[@lelem1052]

This is one of my favourite advent calendars. It's really cool and it's such good value for money. I think it's so much more original than a lot of them. Everything was really cute

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Quite a nice little advent calendar. I do love when they have 25 doors, and I do appreciate it when there's more than one thing in each when they're very simple & cheap things (like the Patronus cards, they'd have been disappointing with only 1 a day). However, I think there're little improvements that could have been made and it shouldn't effect the price. Idk if the paper & cardt heme was a financial decision (more profit from cheaper made paper products) or an ecological one, I choose tobelieve the latter because I just like to think the best of people, but also I'm well aware it could have been the former. While I love that it's paper/card so it can be recycled, it seems far too pretty for me that it'd be a shame to just chuck it in the recycling after Xmas. So, what I would have loved to see is, rather than having the flaps stuck down with glue & risking ripping - it as happened - using those twine closures, and it would then have been reusable for further christmases (I guess they then assume people would be less likely to buy the next year & so making it less beneficial for the makers... but I would guess it's better for the planet over all, if they're trying to be more eco-mindful that is). I loved the little colouring book, it had a lot more in it than I first expected for it's size; the wooden tree ornament (would have loved another couple of those or just an entire calendar of them lol), so simple yet so perfect for what it needs to be, and if you want to personalise it then you can; the Hedwig keyring was very cute (though I would have preferred that be wood too if we're sticking on a theme), was it day 25 worthy?; the little info books that could also be tree ornaments were a nice little idea and after being on the tree can then be kept if they survive nosy people pulling them off the tree to read 😆, though it would have been nice if they had a slightly thicker cover/binding but maybe that would make them too heavy for the tree branch; the paper replica of the acceptance letter & items list (I felt they belonged together but that's neither here nor there) and the map were nice touches, they would go great in like a little collectors scrap book type thing; and finally, the little Patronus cards were pretty too. Some niggles though: I would have liked more things that were a little more robust too, for example along the lines of the wooden tree decoration, and if those four round card pieces are coasters I would rather have had 1 proper solid one (eg made of wood with a felt base) that would last many uses rather than 4 card ones that won't last even one use (heck, they could have had 4 vinyl ones or something even, though vinyl is less ecological). I do wish they wouldn't just give only one of certain things, eg the paper clip and magnetic book mark, they could easily have had 2 or 3 on a little piece of card, and on that similar line of thinking all stickers could have been all on one day, freeing up two days for something else like temp tattoos and maybe a pencil or ruler. Re the mirror...If they weren't going to use foil to imitate a mirror (I feel that would have been firmly cheap) they could have included a couple of double-sided lenticular picture cards to fit it (like a candid pic of the golden trio being friends, Harry with his parents, or holding the stone, etc) and then a sticky film that could be removed on one side of the window to allow you to stick your choice of pic to it to imitate what you might see in the real mirror of Erised. Oh, the Christmas cards were a cute touch, though I think they could have done with being one of the first days, and I don't understand having 5 cards but no envelopes, and only 2 gift tags, seems to me there should have been 5 of each. The 4 round card tree decs were a nice idea, and if you want to be able to reuse them without risking them getting damaged fairly quickly you could maybe get them laminated (some shiny foiling might have been cool on them or some eco-glitter too, but 🤷), idk why the calender makers didn't do that. Like I said, over all it's not a bad little calendar, i like the idea of being as recyclable as possible but I feel like the kind of people who love these calendars aren't the sort of people who throw stuff away after one use, we like to collect and for things to last as well as looking as good as they can, so the disposable nature of things like the paper coasters and tree decs would be disappointing...I prefer reusable over recycling. So yeah, having things that are more robust and therefore lasting & reusable year after year would have greatly improved it.

[@nerdsquad5912]

Holy you spent a lot of time on this comment didn’t you?

[@russian_aoitori]

I think the best thing in this calendar was a moving post card (or just a card) with flying Harry Potter. It really looks like magic photos in Hogwarts. I really want something like this for my Hogwarts diorama.

[@khriezongunuocatherine4954]

Cherry! You are spoiling me with this series!

[@cherrywallis]

You're welcome 🎉

[@tiffanyraschka3714]

You can use a hole punch and some pretty ribbon for some of those to make ornaments.

[@joanderson4879]

I love how u have christmas feeling in November. I feel u girl I feel u

[@nataliedavies8763]

I prefer this advent calendar. Plus I'd a little witch or wizard wanted to do a tree I think a few of these bits would help

[@sharonsteward5748]

I like this one as it reminds me of advent calendars from when I was younger ( the 1970’s) loving this calendar series. x

[@sohielfab6984]

For some reason Cherry's videos always cheer me up , so thank you for awesome and enjoying and cheerful videos Cherry 🍒 💗💗❣️

[@elizabethkizzar5489]

I looked at that Advent calendar and I thought craft supplies. Like those coasters I would resin them into something more durable. Maybe use the acceptance letter, school shopping list and train ticket and use those decoupaged on a desk and make sure it had a really good clear hard top. Maybe do another resin pour so it would last until I was Dumbledore's age.

[@RubyFlorence2]

Absolutely loving the Advent Calendar week! Thank you so much Cherry for all your hard work on this. It has given me something to look forward to everyday ❤️

[@tdrgraphics1]

You could punch a hole in the top of the coasters and use them for ornaments, maybe embellish with glitter...

[@EmilyCheetham]

If I were to read design this I’d do it as 24 days of the following (not necessarily in this order)- 1 yule ball invite (foiled), 2 lenticular chocolate frog card, 3 knight bus ticket (foiled), 4 the four champions name papers from goblet, 5 lightening bolt paper clips, 6 Hogwarts express ticket (foiled), Hogwarts expectance letter full size with the supplies letter & wax seal, 7 Hogwarts iron on patch, 8 sticky notes in the shape of a golden snitch, 9 Ron’s howler, 10 photo Harry has of the original DA Sirius gives Harry, 11 the four house crests as stickers for people to colour in themselves, 12 button badge of potter stinks, 13 SPEW button badge, 14 quidditch World Cup ticket, 15 Sirius wanted poster fridge magnet, 16 Harry wanted poster fridge magnet, 17 I must not tell lies temporary tattoo (to put on your hand), 18 lightening bolt temporary tattoo (to put on forehead), 19 dark mark temporary tattoo to put on wrist, 20 flying key keyring, 21 as included notebook, 22 as included magnetic bookmark, 23 as included wooded tree decoration, 24 as included mirror of erised photo frame.

[@musthavemoxie]

You should design this! I’d buy it!

[@EmilyCheetham]

@@musthavemoxie thank you for the compliment but have no idea how to design this. I wouldn’t know where to begin. I have many ideas on different things to design but no idea on how to make them unfortunately. If I has someone to help then maybe I could make the items but I have no idea how to. I even started writing a book at one point but have no idea on editing or publishing. I have slight autism so I can do the design side but the next part I struggle with.

[@camerart_moments9706]

I think the advent from the cart shop with the accessories is so much better although more expensive it's worth it

[@hannahbrady2149]

I just wanna say how much I appreciate all the videos you have been posting. They genuinely make my day better❤️ I hope you have the most magical of holidays✨🎄

[@bookaholic1431]

Thank you for the hardwork and efforts you put in your videos...Applause to the team 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Hanayuni]

This calendar is the cutest. I'm honestly tempted to buy it for myself now ^^

[@pashaboutnails5821]

Thank you sooooooooo much for this review. By the third pocket I decided to buy it and jumped to the end of the video so it will be a surprise. I have bought two quite expensive beauty advent calendars and usually get a HP one too, but I have a lot of HP jewellery already and HP makeup etc (I know I am lucky) and was thinking I wasn’t going to get a HP calendar this year. But this is perfect. Great for fans at a great price. Just what I wanted.

[@Potatovilleable]

Thanks for always being so fun. Your videos always put me in a good mood, it’s like hanging out with a friend that has really really good vibes

[@kandihinshaw1870]

Cherry Wallis the chocolate frog sticker is scratch-and-sniff. Peter Kenneth felt it it felt weird so he smelled it and he said it smelled like hot chocolate.

[@MHP590]

I loved the verity of advent calendars. the different price ranges so it works for all. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MAGIC 💕💕

[@dramontanez]

Oh my, I arrived early this time. This was fun. I saw it on The Potter colector channel and knew you would love this one.

[@_synchrophasotron]

oh i really like this calendar. i like such things more than big items, clothes etc

[@libbyhanzlik3110]

Very cute for the younger witches and wizards just starting their collections! Very nice!

[@dylantd9189]

I think this might be my favourite calender. It's such good value. And the whole time I was thinking I could reuse this box. I'm a sucker for paper replicas

[@rubybuttons668]

I personally think this is the most pointless and wasteful advent calendar I have seen yet, really not a fan of it. I’m sure people who collect paper replicas may appreciate it but I just see clutter lol. Love this calendar series again this year Cherry, your videos are always so entertaining. 😊

[@illwriteamemo32]

I agree, there's literally nothing I would actually keep and use and enjoy.

[@BoopsTroops]

@@illwriteamemo32 I thought I was the only one who was like ??? It's cute but it would honestly just end up getting lost or thrown away after a bit..if it had actually full sized stuff it might be worth it but the mini sizes? Nah

[@lisathebookcat4669]

I agree most of the stuff i can't really seeing lasting very long since it doesn't look like it's high quality. Also one paperclip??? Really hope it didn't cost more than 10 dollars, but sadly it most likely did.

[@SapphireMoon962]

I liked this one. It was really different. Make those coasters into ornaments.

I'm being festive on Cherry Wallis' KZbin Channel as a subscriber. Reminding me of the Yule Ball.

Cherry! Are you going to do a video of your christmas tree? Do you do a Harry Potter christmas tree only or a traditional family one as well? I would LOVE to see a video on this!

[@samanthamayne1028]

I love this advent calendar and I've 100% brought it for my self this year but I think it's great as 23 year old who still loves to open an advent calendar lol I love this because it's practical you get ornaments paper replica items and practical stationery that I can use I've been looking for a Harry potter advent calendar for quite a few years and haven't seen one that wasnt completely aimed at young children

[@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz]

I definitely like this one a lot! If it was more money I wouldn't but for the price it's pretty good.

[@kimberly_happiness]

The box was absolutely beautiful the stuff inside was ok

[@challengestars944]

If you want to use the ones that look like coasters you could get them laminated and they'll be protected.

[@BeeBlossomEdits]

Advent Calendar week always helps get into the Christmas spirit!

[@stecky87]

Not a big fan of paper replicas, but this was cute. They're on to something with the spell cards As for those things that could be coasters, you could turn them into useable coasters. Just get cork coaster blanks from a craft store, glue them on, then put a few layers of Mod Podge on top as a sealant

[@melissacorrigan84]

It’s the editing in your videos for me 🤣 what is camera Chris doing while your pulling all of the faces and cracking jokes after you drop or crazy sniff things? 🤣😂 Freaking love you girl and so does australia! 💙🐨

Have you seen the Harry Potter mystery keychain sets or the mystery ornament sets? You should do videos of those as well.

[@singingwolf8997]

Aww, that Hedwig keychain makes this one totally worth it for me.

[@danajohnson4757]

The circular items that you called coasters could be water proofed by laminating or mod podging them.

[@HooksPatronus]

Very cute and affordable advent calendar! I loved the variety of products in it!

[@alliewhite5579]

They're coasters. I would look for coaster resin mold and put them in. First coat both side and edge in some sort of sealant. Pour half the mold and let cure, add a little more resin and place the sealed coasters in and put a thin layer on top, cure. Top the rest of the mold off with more resin to finish. You can pour a new layer in about 1 or two hours after it starts to cure to help each layer bond better. This way they'll last forever! Keep the resin clear so you can see both side, maybe a tiny dust of glitter wouldn't hurt tho, maybe color match to house or just plain silver glitter.

[@adellinger91]

[@pearsrtasty3326]

As you were opening this, it made me think this was handmade. I am not a harry potter fan, I like the movies, but haven't read the books or anything like that. Seeing that you are a big time Harry Potter fan, when you see stuff, like this, with pictures that have been printed from paused movie scenes, does it bother you? Are the movies true to the books? You give your opinion on the cartoony looking stuff, what about the other stuff?

[@endopoth7]

I really loved everything. Just want to say it’s Black Lake not Great lol I was wondering if is it possible to fit a pic in the Mirror of Erised? Also ANYONE but Umbridge 🤮 would have been a good pic. I mean Snape??? Duh! 🙄

[@leannehull710]

This is a great little calendar. Lots of stuff that could be used for Xmas🙂

[@emwhyay182]

This has been my favorite one so far! 🎄
