I really dislike when expensive advent calendars break up items that are clearly meant to go together into separate days like the cookie cutters and pencils/pencil sharpener. For cheap advent calendars, sure I understand, but for something THIS expensive it seems kind of ridiculous. Just put them together and add another item. Even if the extra item is cheaper it'll still seem like it's more worth the money.

I agree with others that the tiny book (that was still legible!) was the best item in the calendar. I collect such things and know they are not inexpensive. Having said that, stickers - pencil sharpener etc. don’t belong in a $150 Advent calendar. If you are going to give items like pencils and post cards, they should come as a set (several pencils with a sharpener and eraser for one day, 10 post cards for one day, both cookie cutters and the cookie recipe laminated on a card for one day, etc.). That way you feel you got value for your money and don’t feel bad about getting those items.

I actually really liked this advent calendar. Yes, there were 3-4 items that were a bit less than expected. To me licensed merch is always a bit high priced. The packaging, at least for me, made up for the few lower quality items. They went to some lengths to make this be very well designed inside and out. Also, if you look closely, they mapped out where each box goes so you can reuse it. I'm not much of a fan of the new modern (Cursed Child) crest designs. I would have much preferred more traditional design on the coasters and playing cards, but I love the black card color. Overall, I thought it was a bit pricey, but also not surprising as I said before licensed merchandise to me is often overpriced.

I feel like most of these are really missing the mark on cost vs worth this year. I had high hopes for this one because Insight is great and has some of the most uniquely designed licensed products I've ever seen. But they picked some of the ugliest designs (those horrid house designs) and the majority of the items were really cheap. Their specialty is stationary and journals, so at that price point, I was fully expecting at least one journal, a nice pen or quill, and some high-quality stationary to go along with the rest. Maybe some nice sets of clips or wax seals instead of basic stickers. But instead, they gave you a plastic sharpener with a sticker slapped on and pencils that have the design printed so close to the tip that you'll sharpen off some of the quote within two sharpens. They mentioned measuring robes and gave you a metal measuring tape rather than one that you can wrap around. Three entire boxes were stickers or postcards. I'm so glad I watch your videos and save myself from getting mad after spending $100+ lmao.

@@izabelasiczek3547 This one went so above and beyond with the messages in every box, everything well packaged and wrapped... But then the item is like one of those kids birthday party keepsakes you'd get in a kids treat bag for a few cents. Like a metal ornament... one... what do you even do with that? An Xmas tree looks weird with just one random ball instead of several... Or the postcards should at LEAST like 10 of them be one. It's just a printed postcard, super cheap... 2 of them are used in 2 days!? A metal cheap bookmark??? Yep, totally agree with you.

I absolutely love the knight bus magnetic packaging! I wouldn't pay $150. But, I'd love it as a gift. 😎 I wasn't aware any of these advent calendars existed. I only knew they stopped making the funko ones. 😞

Lovely selection of things. I was most surprised. Price tag is to hefty for me personally but it's great to find out what it contains.

Something I wish the makers of the various Harry Potter advent calendars that are available did with them is keeping with items that are found in the wizarding world and not anything that would be considered a muggle item. One example, the deck of playing cards.

I mean there’s decks of playing cards and other muggle-like games even in the Wizarding World. 🤭

Wow, I really enjoyed this calendar. The only thing I didn't like was the measuring tape. I was completely shocked and delighted by the little book about Hogwarts, it's the smallest art book I've seen. I would really like to have it. Thanks for the video❤

The presentation of this one was great, I have to say. Not sure it's worth that much, but still fun. LOVE the chocolate frog and the flying key keyring. ❤

I'd almost buy it just for the box, I'm a baker for fun and rub escaped rooms for kids parties so the cookie cutters would make great treats at the party. I do agree with Cherry, priced higher than the value, regardless of how big a Harry Potter fan you might be. I'm always disappointed that anything over $100 includes stickers or postcards. But I love the night bus so much.... It's hard to say no

I thought for sure that your favorite would have been the book! You Really should check out Ravens Minis! She is a HP fan & makes Amazing miniatures but right now she's showing easy to make yourself, HP Christmas tree ornaments! So Cute & So Easy! ❤

$150 is a lot, but average under $7/item isn't too bad when you think about it. I only see a couple useful items for myself. Agree with the card deck. I think a fun gift item for a fan. TFS!! 😊
