THANKS EVERYONE FOR HANGING IN THE LIVE CHAT WITH ME! I'll see you all back here tomorrow at 6pm (the rest won't be premieres, but I'll be here to chat with you). You're not ready for all of the calendars I found for you... see you daily for the next 24 days!!!!!

[@buesrahaticemaras]

I’m so excited for the other calendars this was a strong beginning 😍🤩🥳❤️

[@laurenschenck5355]

SO READY!! Great start to the Christmas season! ❤❤❤

[@michaelcaywood6070]

Greetings from The United States 🇺🇸, Cherry Wallis!

[@andreaewert7204]

Fun fun fun❤🎉

[@judis6224]

🍒,that was great,kids will like it😊

[@noodlechild666]

Nice to see a calendar truly for kids. No weird stuff like tape measures or wipes for glasses. A proper toy and accessory selection.

[@cherrywallis]

Couldn't agree more, it was superb.

[@karissafarmer4220]

Could not agree more😊😊😊😊😊

[@robyntheslytherin]

I hope by kids you mean "everyone under 99" 🤣

[@LuzMaria95]

true ☺️

[@Redpandagirl203]

I agree

[@arianadourre]

This is loads better than the $1300 disney calendar. Insanee.

[@moonlightphantomhive8448]

actually 😄

[@yankee7238]

Would have enjoyed to see the entire set put together! It would be nice to see an extra sticker sheet that we can stick on the books so it looks more authentic.

[@onyxrose26]

This one actually had me going back to the feeling I got from Harry Potter as a kid. I might have to treat myself to this simply for the nostalgia factor alone. It reminded me of the 2000s Mattel dolls they used to make that I loved as a little girl 🥺

[@WWJ276]

As I am 11 do you think I could buy this and play with this

[@Kittyzero13426]

Such a strong start to the advent calendar season. How fun!

[@cherrywallis]

Thank you, I'm so happy you liked it, I think I've found some exciting calendars for this series!!!!

[@amugofmagic]

Never thought me aged 25 would genuinely be thinking of buying a doll advent calendar but this is adorable!

[@enaidyeltneb369]

Being 59 next week I don’t think I will be enjoying this calendar, but watching the sheer joy and 8 yo Cherry come out was bliss. Love, love, love when a person displays their inner child in such an infectious, joyous and honest way. Thanks, Mattel, for creating such a bang on calendar that so many will enjoy hours of playtime with or displays that are detailed beyond belief! Thanks also, Cherry, for putting a smile in my heart.

[@jenaysiabaker9546]

i bought this for my slitherin grandma and she loved it!

[@enaidyeltneb369]

Sounds like you have a really cool grandma! I am probably a Huffelpuff.

[@gagaloooie]

I'm 54 and I live for these videos. I've bought HP advent calendars (for my 28 year old niece) because I saw how much fun Cherry had opening them.

[@moonlight...3754]

Oh! I wish You early happy birthday 🎂

[@enaidyeltneb369]

@@moonlight...3754 Thank you, you are so kind!

[@HooksPatronus]

This advent calendar was awesome!!! My inner child is squealing 😂

[@kim_27]

This is such a creative idea for an advent calendar and that chocolate frog is precious! As an HP collector, I would even have been willing to pay more if it meant some of the props were higher quality, but overall still such a fun calendar. Thank you for treating us to a whole month of advent calendar unboxings, Cherry❣️Btw, love your holly hair clip.

[@reetaheikkila2869]

Agreed. Even just extra stickers for potions and books and all would have made it just a tad better

[@kim_27]

@@reetaheikkila2869 I was thinking more along the lines of maybe an actual knit scarf and sweater and nicer books, etc. 🙂

[@reetaheikkila2869]

@@kim_27 right but also extra stickers 🤭

[@footloosegenius2242]

I think things being a bit cheap is fine, as the product is definitely as a toy. It has a really nostalgic feeling to it, which I think really fits the whimsical feel the first two years have always had to them

[@Lisa-sr9xn]

What a lovely calendar except for the "books". I was skeptical at first because of the doll as dolls usually look weird (to me) and not like the actual character but this one's blown me away. I was impressed how much it looked like Daniel Radcliffe when you took the glasses off. This calendar was definitely a good start!!! 👏😍💖

[@jayle203]

I've been scrolling back through the comments but haven't seen one about the books, I think they 'close' the other way and that the little hook thing on the side is just so harry and hold it.

[@erinsheline8398]

THIS IS ADORABLE. I'm sure you've probably seen it Cherry, but the Luna that Mattel makes is very special. Even for us adult witches and wizards lol. The way you have Harry sitting there is cracking me up 😂. Much love from America⚡️🐍

[@belendemaria1989]

Cherry, you didn't put it together for us! I was expecting to see some cool scenes of Harry sipping his butterbeer on the decorated Gryffindor common room wearing his invisibility cloak! Missed opportunity there, mate! It was an awesome box, I so want to play with it, 34 years old and all.

[@daniellem5195]

Love it! All it needs is a DIY sticker set to put finishing touches on the books, and whizbees!

[@ggyytgcvc]

I LOVE this!! The books could have been actual little books and I wish the cardboard pieces were made of fabric and plastic, but other then that I’m in love. I wish they had Luna, Hermione and Ron ones as well! A Luna one would be so fun!

[@Books4lifers]

You KNOW its a good day when cherry posts! ESPECIALLY when is advent calendars!!! 🎅☃️

[@cherrywallis]

Then it'll be a good day for the next 24 days!!!! 🤪

[@Books4lifers]

I would’ve loved to see you set up the scene with him and his props! ☺️ what a cool start to the series!

[@raniabenchouiekh4347]

WHYYYYY DID'NT YOU ASSEMBLE THE SEEEEET !!!! AAAAAAH !!! 😢 I WANTED TO SEE THE WHOLE SET WITH THE ITEMS YOU GOT 😢

[@cherrywallis]

Oddly, I did film it on my phone but we forgot to put it in the final edit doh! Nevermind, you can see all of the pieces.

[@raniabenchouiekh4347]

@@cherrywallis Thanks for the response. it's alright I was being dramatic😅it was too exciting haha

[@RabbitTeaPot]

I think this is WAY BETTER value for money than the “collector’s edition” one

[@ChessasWorld]

This is such a cool advent calendar. Every door was really something wonderful you can enjoy! No useless in-between stuff to make it cheaper. If I would be a Happy Potter fan and someone would gift that to me, I would flip out. This would really make the days till christmas amazing and wishing the next day comes sooner so you can open the next door :) I wish there was something with that amazing quality for Babrie or Cyberpunk.

[@brilove2291]

Omg love this!I think they should make one for each character!With items themed around them!If you say have more than one child!A Harry,Ron and Hermione one this year!Next year Draco Snape,Dumbledore!Etc!oh how awesome would that have been!

[@hmstaff3748]

This is a good calendar! Whilst budget friendly it wasnt repeatable and each item was something you can relate to harry. Take me back to 2001 where my 10 year old self would have spent hours playing with this. I love the butterbear and fizzing whizbee.

[@mirascraftycorner]

This is so cool! It‘s Ken turned Harry Potter with all the Hogwarts-Barbie accessories! The books are disappointing, but the rest is great! It all goes together and has the kids in mind! No scrunchies, tape measures or lanyards, but actual toys that they can play with!

[@myriambl5852]

I got here after watching a few of the more expensive calendar's first. Gotta say, this one really killed it compared to them.

[@dees3179]

When you think of the amount of house themed bubble baths (is there anyone who isn’t allergic?), pencils, key rings and other assorted tat that have been in other calendars over the years the comparative value of this one looks even better. Yes the books were rubbish, but least the cheaper cardboard items fit the set. Impressive art work too. One to beat.

[@gamerinavangaming]

That's an amazing calendar for a change. Great, well done Mattel.

[@donnawilliams787]

I’m 58 and an avid Harry Potter fan and collect Barbies. I’M IN HEAVEN!!!!!! I want want want this sooooooo bad!

[@MariaDorofeeva]

I just love Hedwick. She was so cute, she’s adorable

[@snowysnowyriver]

Nice to see a calendar that is genuinely different! Have never seen any HP product like this before.👍

[@penny7264]

The excitement was clear with the progressive ripping! 😂 Absolute bargin’ what an amazing calendar!

[@darlenelipuma7769]

The attention to detail is amazing!!! Honestly, I'm 72 and LOVE HP, and this calendar is wonderful!!

[@jjacks50]

That is a very good looking doll. I'm so impressed with the face. Proper job to the artist who did the face sculpt. Overall that looks like a very fun playset and good value for the money. I love this one.

[@TheAutumnGypsy]

Cherry, you have just saved me an immense amount of stress. My son is 26 and it is very difficult to find an advent calendar for him, he is not a big fan of sweets. I just ordered one of these for him. You are awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed your review.

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

I've had to work long days this week, so I will admit I started watching today's video (day 4) and worked my way back to this one and I have to say, the potions calendar *wishes* it could have been this good! I think the other advent calendars need to take a page out of Mattel's book next year!😅

[@zoewaddilove9020]

@cherrywallis The books do fold the right way and the hole is so it slips over Harry’s hand x

[@faith859617]

it would be awesome if they did this with the other characters, i would love a luna one likes this

[@faymeowsiumo]

This is a cute advent calendar! I think not only the kid harry potter fans will love it. But it is more cute that you are wearing the same sweater which you found in this calendar 😂 i wish this calender has a girl version too

[@marylin1933]

If this calendar had come out 20 years ago and my parents had given it to me, I would have been the happiest child on the whole world . And definitely the most popular child in our entire village😂😂

[@angelalee6105]

I know it's not christmas, but the photo album Hagrid gave him would have been a nice touch

[@heatherboyd3087]

You were going through it and I was like, its not gonna be complete without the invisibility cloak. And it was the last one!!! Love it!! Best advent calendar I've seen so far!!!

[@grey3414]

This is such a fun set! And I think it is properly priced (for once) lol. I think both kids and adults would love this even for a gift!

[@tamg734]

This is definitely the best harry calendar I’ve seen out of the series this year. Very fun!

[@RaquelsFoodDiary]

I can’t decide which is more precious…the awesome Harry Potter advent calendar or your exciting and entertaining reactions to every door you opened. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing. Happy Christmas 😊

[@debbieadams2695]

Wonderful calendar! Reminds me of getting Barbie clothes, etc, at Christmas! This calendar makes you feel like a child at Christmas, again! Joyful!

[@SattanDragon]

I just came from a review on the 1300 dollar disney calendar. The difference is insane, for this price you get so much more + even as an adult I would genuinely like this!

[@gaynorandrews1684]

This was a very fun advent. Aimed at younger ones but hey, whats not to enjoy. I know you have worked hard to creare the videos. 33 quid sounds very reasonable for the content. Thanks. Really looking forward to your advent openings. Am so excited

[@kelleypopelar3162]

This is a great advent calendar! Wish this had come out years ago with the movies. Hope other characters get advent calendars like this too.

[@arcyarcanine]

Those books aren't suppose to close, they're just props for Harry to use and the "latch" is actually where his hand goes.

[@lynnealuebben1967]

This is an amazing set. Even some of the blank pieces, many creative children would love that for their own personalization.

[@Viewer-dj2qk]

This advent calendar feels made by a fellow HP fan and I LOVE IT!

[@SerKnightowl]

Hi Cherry, hope you are well :) The little pieces in this calendar are amazing, would be awesome if they released sets of just the scenery and misc items (imagine if they did a set like this, but with enough mini-pieces to make a full set of the Great Hall at Christmas ^^ (would need a mini-Dobby wearing a Weasley jumper though) or even better imagine a village set for Hogsmeade to display at Christmastime ^^ Kind regards, Adam C

[@helenwatts8667]

Brilliant value of money, toys cost a fortune and this is fabulous. Thanks cherry x

[@reetaheikkila2869]

Yeeees❤ thank you for the video. They should have added some extra stickers for the books and potions and everything tho.

[@SofiaGonzalez-hh1nr]

Cherry, this was such a wonderful advent calendar!!! If there are 3 more for the rest of the houses please do them!!

[@cherrywallis]

I think there's only this one, maybe they'll bring more out in the future, think they'd be daft not to.

[@halmond8713]

I have been watching these out of order so I ended up watching the potion calendar video first. I have to say that this was so much better when it comes to the items. I think I'm going to get this for me lol. If I end up finding it in here. For the price it really delivered. And I can see few dyi projects coming up, specially when it comes to the books.

[@keacey7510]

I need this advent calendar! I would make magnets with the cardboard props!

[@ricksmith9555]

😮 WOW 😲.. Surprisingly Harry Potter calendar, doll/figure and assortment of Cool Stuff is Awesome and well worth it. Did they have other characters? A Wizard of Oz type thing similar to this would be so Great. ✌️🌞⚜️💞🦋

You're the only person that I saw who likes Harry Potter as much as I. D❤🎉😊

I watched this right after watching the $1300 Disney calendar video, and it's so nice to see you very happy with this one

[@charmsglitzandsparklez2159]

This was one of the calendars that you just were so excited with each door. I love it. Well done!

[@beajackson]

What a brilliant advent calendar well done Mattel, certainly don’t feel robbed for the price, content was awesome 😊

[@charlottepym]

Because he got the invisibility cloak for christmas!!!❤

[@danielleking262]

omg this advent calendar was awesome! It seems like all of the other ones I've watched, she is always disappointed, esp. the Cinereplica ones or that awful crystal ornament one! I LOVE the scenery on the box on the back and that you can set everything up when you're all done!!!! Totally worth it!

[@tvlassiter]

your joy in opening every door made me smile. :)

[@snowflowerwork]

This is fantastic, I hope they do a Hermione calendar next year!!

[@elenachristodoulou23]

You sounded exactly like hermoine when you said butter beer 13:45 Love you videos this was fun to watch

[@katehigh1656]

When you said it’s a double door I actually chuckled and thought dumbledoor 😅😂

[@captnann]

This calendar was wonderful! But after seeing the Golden Snitch & Nimbus broom I really expected Harry's red Quidditch robe & was a bit disappointed when it wasn't included. Maybe next year. Thanks for this video, looking forward to more!

[@janefazakerley7467]

Thank you Cherry I loved your enthusiasm and the contents of the advent was an added bonus.

[@lacyshelley6487]

I absolutely LOVE this one!!!! Probably my favorite Harry advent calendar. Some of the things are very detailed for the price but it's adorable!

[@sunoodal7238]

I would’ve loved this calendar as a kid. Sure why not as adult as well if enjoy stuff like this!

[@lottetea8550]

Especially for this price-point, I think I found the perfect gift for my little wizard-obsessed niece 😄

[@Blaubeere17]

This is probably the best HP Kalender I have seen so far. Even the price point is absolutely fine. I feel like if they would have rise the price a few bucks and would have spiced up a few of the items a tiny bit it would have been absolutely prefect. But even though I think it is a great calendar. If they bring out Luna I totally have to get it for myself 😅

[@shannab.squeaker2542]

What an awesome calendar....I wish my kiddos were younger..but I just may get it for myself..this shameless harry potter lover that i am. Lol..I just love watching your videos and your enthusiasm is catching.😍

[@gsmendoza-kids-ee9te]

My favorite was the broom and DIY props.😮

[@leahwyckoff217]

This was too adorable. Would have loved it as a kid myself.

[@lottiecooke9262]

Cant wait to wach all of these wonderful calenders being opened

[@nekoboygames7786]

I hope they make one for each house next year. They could do something like these combos: Malfoy - Slytherin, Luna - Ravenclaw, Cedric - Hufflepuff, Hermione - Gryffindor.

Oh my gosh I'm feeling so festive! That's was super fun Cherry thanks 🎄

Good evening Cherry!!! This is a very cute Advent Calendar. A collectors dream for sure. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I hope you have a Blessed week!!!

[@annettemalaski1967]

What a banger to start the advent calender series! I am sixty-six and I would love this set to play with. But I have the Mattel five doll set already, so Harry would be redundant. Book covers come in all kinds of colors if you remove the dust jackets, but I do think a cover stickers would have been nice. A great calender for any HP fan!

[@Disneyology]

What a great start to the calendar series!! 😆 Can't wait to see all of them!!

[@jeannawhiting228]

I love that the items in the doors follow each other like the parchemins then quill and broom then snitch so that you’re not waiting days for the next piece you need to play

[@pupstarproduction15]

Thank you cherry just got home from my evening shift where everything went wrong and your energy made my day. Plus it is a cool calendar

[@thebluePumpking]

It would be amazing if they did a calender for each house and you build your own doll. Like buy a Ravenclaw calender with a gender neutral doll and for the next 24 days you get stuff like (wigs, pants, skirts and extras) to make a collage of yourself going to hogwarts :)

[@Foleysfables]

I would buy the hekk out of a customisable HufflePuff calendar ❤❤

[@pigmylira23]
