[@deek3586]

Am I the only one disappointed? The presentation of this calendar is amazing, but for the price and expectation for this calendar, I personally found it disappointing. The esthetic is fantastic but the items feel cheap. Thank you Cherry for opening this one. This series is amazing ❤

[@cherrywallis]

I agree with you!

[@shaeelamartin3469]

I completely agree I am very disappointed for the price.... It could have been better although I did like door number one I think that was my favorite item and then the charm bracelet

[@lunch12]

I agree. It feels like the jewelry and the other things are leftovers from 2 calendars and they just added all together. Also don't love when a bracelet and charms are separated.

[@tamzg6219]

Yes. I've seen this advertised and was so sad about the items. If there were little replica collectable in it instead I would have bought it. But cheap childish jewelry just spoils the fancy box. So sad.

[@js7934]

Yeah, this wasn't good, especially for the price.

[@natalielloyd3962]

They had SO much potential with this one! I think they really nailed the aesthetic and magic of true Harry Potter fashion on the look of this advent. The potion bottles and drawers were so fun! 🧪 - however after door number one, it’s a bit of dud and cheaply made sadly. Adore your advent calendar series, Cherry! My alarm is set everyday at 1pm my time to watch. 🥳

[@cherrywallis]

Aww I love you have an alarm set! 🥹❤️ Thank you endlessly for your support!

[@bailatwerski2951]

No I was very disappointed as well

[@candicemorgan979]

When you put in perspective the price per item, IMO, the value is there... I think maybe they should have a variety of price points for it (same kind of design for the calendar, but different items), so most can experience the calendar, but the more u spend, the better the items 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@catsaresocute650]

It maybe would've been better if they would fill the virals and glasses with something cheap that looks nice (like coloured sand or a liquid) and have them themselves, to make a small potions cabinet in a sense. And then used the spare money for some cooler pens or an actual notebook where the notebook is

[@VeronikaMescudi]

When the packaging makes you more excited than the actual products :D My jaw dropped when you said this cost £80. The items look like those you see being discounted for half the price because nobody wants them..

[@LoveMyUnusual]

I feel that! The charms and jewelry were some of the nicer ones, whereas the pens, pencils, and buttons look like they're from a corporate freebie site with logos slapped on. And this is coming from someone who likes buttons.

[@cristianoliver4447]

Advent calendars are usually what you just described. Discarded products at the end of the year get repackaged inside it to have a last go at clearing inventory. It's a recurring controversy in the makeup comunity too for example.

[@User_newengland]

Wizarding World and I need to have a chat. They have developed a habit of putting cheaply done merch inside glorious packaging. I’m glad you did this calendar. I almost bought it but I’d rather have a potioneer’s cabinet.

[@r.d.durfey5862]

The earrings can be used as little pins...I had snowflake earrings that I could not wear as my ears have not little holes😉. So I stuck them through the the thick cloth...of my coat. They made pretty winter pins. The little hearts would look great on a collar too.

[@racheleanne9726]

Thats such a good idea

[@nehamaw]

So smart.

[@marshawargo7238]

I'm watching late but I came to the comments to see if anyone else would say this! Also would make nice cufflinks too❤

[@elise85391]

That's a great idea! My ears are super sensitive and I can't wear most of the cute branded/themed earrings.

[@alexisminchuk1522]

The best item is on the first day because you can lock the cabinet with it)) and open it every day if you are opening one box a day😊 which is cool but after this first day my expectations were so so high that I was mostly disappointed with everything else 😅

[@jodysoares216]

mine won’t relock i think it is broken 😢

[@SenutoUzomaki]

I love the Design of this Calendar! But the Items inside are so..well...not worth the Price!

[@cherrywallis]

I think I'd have to agree with you regarding value.

[@joannegryffindor86]

Totally agree as well 😊

[@Overwijn01]

It’s £3 per item… 😉

[@SenutoUzomaki]

@@Overwijn01 Yay 3£ Buttons 🤣😅

[@mewtwomotherfuka]

Pens. Pencils. Hair ties and buttons. Times 2

[@nietcherry4360]

Agreeing with the disappointed comments. With the potions theme they could have easily made a calendar with different products (glitter, coloring, stones, wax, etc) in each case and the final case could have been a glass bottle and at the end the buyer could make their own potion bottle (like Cherry had in the last monthly box). That would have been so cute. The box presentation was definitely misleading on the quality I find

[@Tempestaires]

I love your idea ! I could also see this as an art and craft calendar, with paints, clay, glitter, it would be so fun !

[@KrazeeKraftZ]

Great ideas

[@footloosegenius2242]

This gave me an idea for a calendar. Day one is a cauldron (about the size of a fist) and the days after are small bath bomb like things. You fill the cauldron with water and dump it in, and it makes the water look like a pretty little potion. Afterwards you fish out a little charm of vials and ingredients ( they could even add some silly ones like Trevor the toad, or maybe "moody"s flask of polyjuice) the last day would have a somewhat larger charm of a vial of liquid luck! I'm thinking the cauldrons handle could be a detachable chain, so you could either have them on display, or use them as a bracelet or necklace! Idk I'm rambling I need to go to bed

[@TheGinevra1981]

The lock and key in number one is so you can lock your potions cabinet 😉

[@twiapoc]

Yes! That was what I immediately thought and was disappointed it wasn't mentioned

[@jodysoares216]

how do you relock it i think mine is open i can open it but able to lock it shut

[@jenlfpotter3870]

I knew that after watching Peter Kenneth open his... but his lock was sadly, broken. I think it’s a bit of a novelty, an advent calendar you can actually lock. Might help you resist the temptation to open all the boxes at once.

[@aylasaurus]

The aesthetic of the box itself is truly magical, but MAN these items really do not live up to that price tag!! The flying key and lock were by far and large the best item -- if I had purchased this for myself or my partner, we would've been so sorely disappointed. Most of the items feel like things you trade your tickets in for at the prize counter of an arcade. Nevertheless, thank you for another great and entertaining video in this series, I'm loving it!! Hope you get to feeling better soon Cherry!! 🧡

[@xenijagrunschnabel7766]

Definitely one of the best displays I've ever seen in an advent calender. Very creative. But I don't know if it's worth 80 pounds. I expected a little bit more to be fair. However, the day 1 is definitely a winner...so pretty

[@alexholmquist9298]

You're def paying mostly for the display which sucks especially since the contents are so so cheap and lackluster.

[@WorthItTreatsbyWaseelahs]

Shew... I am feeling underwhelmed with the goodies aswell. The Lock and Flying key and the Expecto Patronum Bookmark, ACES!!! The calendar and the bottles and such... BRILLIANT! I am fully agreeing with you Cherry. Thank you ALWAYS for your honest opinions! You are a true GEM!!!

[@enjolitilley2547]

The box was so much better than the items in it

[@evak1996]

So basically you pay like 60 Pounds just for the box because let's be honest the contents.... well💀😂 sorry but this is an advent calendar for kids... I wish they would release one that's more for like people 16 and up or at least more of like maybe mini replicas of things from the movies.. Sorry mad German here 😂 this calendar costs 80€ in Germany (and even 90€ on Elbenwald website)

[@lilacchocolate]

Yap, saw this calendar being unboxed before and 100% agree! The money is going towards the outstanding packaging and gorgeous key and locket, then they drop the ball (or snitch in this case 😜) for the rest. It could have easily been improved with metallic looking pens instead of plastic (bonus had they also written in gold and silver). A quill or pencil shaped like a broom. And they should have continued with the ornament theme for all the houses (instead of elastic, earrings and hair pins which aren’t unisex really). Filled that bauble with a little packet of Every Flavour Beans or mini chocolate frogs. All in all it’s disappointing because it just could have been so good!!! 😔

[@SarahSpaceStation]

I was so excited for this one- I actually thought it was going to be a new potion each day! I'm glad I didn't order if first myself as it was definitely a bit of a let down. It felt like it was made more for kids maybe... Just kind of boring/ cheap items for the cost.

[@artxlife7236]

I can’t believe how gorgeous the design of the box is but then the items are so blah! I have yet to see an HP advent calendar I want yet. Maybe I’ll just buy myself HP stuff and put it under the tree for myself 😂

[@TalenynWren]

I think the style of the pin backs feel appropriate for the era Harry Potter takes place (early to mid 90s) but I do wish they made the lock and key the last day instead.

[@PharaohBec]

Always love watching the advent calender season. I agree with you that that calender was NOT worth £80

[@grebenrA]

I think this one was fantastic! There's always filler days, no calendar has 24 awesome items. I'd rather have these things in the superb packaging for £80, than just stickers and cardboard items in a standard design box you just throw away,for like £30.

[@Annie.221B]

I agree with you, the advent calendar its self is so magical but the items inside of it , except the first one , doesn't worth the money its disappointing for such a beautiful calendar

[@moonflower1616]

I am so excited to see all the days to come. I think it's so generous that you bought all these, Cherry! It helps anyone who wants to get advent calendars this year or next, to see which ones are the best value for money. Not to mention it's also just so fun to watch you open them. ^^

[@hayden-jay9852]

Honestly I think the badges designs reminded me of vintage election pins, almost like the ones in the Goblet of Fire. I thought the Lumos one was super cute!

[@tamzg6219]

Cherry. This series is so nice to wake up to with my baby. Thank you ❤

[@rm_bruna]

I was thinking this would be literal tiny potions bottles and/or items like the last one, potion-like accessories hahah Was not expecting spell related items

[@christinevenner183]

They cheaped out on the pens, pencil, and badges. Those items probably cost 25p each if not cheaper as they would have been buying in bulk. Some of the items were beautiful and very good. But i think the overall experience was wonderful. They would have totally nailed it if they had put better items in those 5 doors. I think the price was high in part because of the potion cabinet design. That would have had to made completely manually. It was fun to watch. :)

[@Pasmrx]

It honestly would have been more exciting if each day was a different potion

[@pavlost.1594]

Ahh loving the series so far! Best part of the day ! 😍🎁🌟

[@poppy7740]

i look forward to this series every november! perfect thing to hype people up for christmas

[@kelseytalley5241]

This would make such a cute keepsake! I can just picture it on Cherry’s potion shelf. And having potions in the boxes if they fit or just making another shelf lol.

[@DollyAnna]

Thiiiisss haha like the box itself is almost the best part haha

[@zaik8273]

That advent calendar is very displayable.. the flying key and lock is definitely my favorite

[@graciegold007]

watching right now, the advent calender looks so cool 😍 love you, cherry ❤

[@birddswithteeth]

im loving this advent calendar series as a whole!

[@dawnweaving7935]

[@laurenschenck5355]

Thank you Cherry so much love you for bringing early Christmas spirit love it 🎄❤️🎄❤️

[@Maze-Runner.A5]

Omg!!! Love this series so much so excited to watch the rest

[@hplovinmama631]

First, thank you for doing this series. SO much fun! I love it. Second, I believe they showed that you can put the lock on the front of that calendar. That's probably why it was first. (I wouldn't use it there) Third, I am quite disappointed in this calendar. The case itself is absolutely amazing. The stuff inside, meh. It's not worth the price in my opinion. Also, besides the design of the box, potion bottles etc, it wasn't very potion themed. I wish you could just get the case. 😂

[@Ruddigore]

Calendar design 100%, probably the nicest looking Advent Calendar I have ever seen. Contents of the box - tat.

[@HeVn7LaO]

The packaging was the best one…and the flying key and lock was amazing…also i agree with the pin badges, they kinda gives of diner/50s advertisement…

[@courtneyweiser7709]

Is it weird that I love how you match your nails to each advent calendar you open? 🧡

[@stephanieoliphant1362]

Loved the advent calendar 2023 video and I loved the lock and key necklace ❤

Favorite time of cherry Chanel (for me). I just Love it ❤❤❤

[@liv4uno1else]

I definitely agree with the review. I knew about this calendar for some time now and I am a HUGE sucker for lock and keys but I had a feeling that would be the only really incredible part of the calendar. I actually had no idea the experience would be as magical as it was but the items definitely don’t feel like it’s worth it as a whole especially since the items are the main things you tend to keep and the box just gets thrown away. I really do want the lock and key and I believe it is exclusive to the calendar but I wouldn’t get the calendar just to get it. Cherry thank you for being so honest whenever you review something. I love it that you’re so transparent :) And you truly want to know what we think too!

[@ciaranwilson6236]

I bought this! Now im super excited to be able to open it!

I would use the hair slides to hold a tag into a junk journal. I like this calendar.

@@cherrywallis hahaha i didn’t expect u to reply xxx

[@bethsmith3421]

Yay! I am loving your advent calendar event so far. I love the look and the experience of this advent calendar. And that might be worth the price. I agree the items were cheap feeling and a bit of a disappointment. One thing to consider is the reusability of this cabinet. You could definitely use it another year or two and fill it with items of your own choosing. I thought each little box, drawer, vital and potion bottle were very magical looking and fit quite well in the HP universe. It's too bad the little gifts were not as well thought out.

[@wanyatelborn]

Yay! I’m loving these ❤

[@belleetlabete1819]

Stunning packaging and presentation filled with tat and crap (mostly). I’m still waiting for a calendar that ticks all the boxes.

[@ella.12.]

love this series! ❤

[@cherrywallis]

Yay! Can't believe it's day 3 already!

[@RitaVernoy]

I think a younger witch or wizard might enjoy this advent calendar😊

[@cherrywallis]

I think it’s aimed at a younger audience, which is confusing considering the price!

[@Grumpy63uk]

Have I missed something 🤔is there a boys version because this is definitely a girls cabinet 🤷‍♀️

[@ItsAPotterParty]

Ooh, the packaging is great! I have that Luna landyard, I use it at uni 🤣

[@kierancampire]

I think a lot of thought and effort went into the calendar design itself, but then not the items inside. The packaging and everything about the calendar is really pretty and nice, there is so much detail and it was so creative! But then so much of the gifts just seemed like cheap second thoughts! It also just is very niche and I can't imagine the type of person who'd get something out of every item. Some bits were nice, but it all just mostly either felt cheap or just bad, I would expect more for the price and from the design of the calendar

[@marlenewalker9515]

Good evening Cherry!!! I actually like this Advent Calendar!!! I would love to get this one, but I will have to think on it since it is on the pricer side. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I hope you have a Blessed week!!!

[@thais.tharte]

[@Britt89578]

I was so hyped for this one and then was left utterly disappointed. For the price point it felt very cheap. I was more excited for the packaging than the items 😂

[@kandihinshaw1870]

Cherry if you don't like the ribbon on the diadem you could always switch that out with a different color. You don't have to keep the actual ribbon on there. But I think they were trying to color coordinate it with the stones in the diadem

[@kelseytalley5241]

True you don’t!

[@hollyw9177]

Blue for Ravenclaws Diadem. They could have done black instead

[@amugofmagic]

I also think it's a bit weird that they did the diadem but not the other founders' relics!

[@hollyw9177]

For the Ravenclaw Diadem ornament, it wouldn't make sense if the ribbon was red or gold as those aren't Ravenclaw colors. That's why the ribbon is blue.

[@racheleanne9726]

Yes I thought the same, bronze maybe or blue

[@brendaforeman3181]

Totally agree with you cherry.

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

Some of the stuff was fun, but definitely not worth the price. That said, the advent calendar box is incredible and would make for a gorgeous display! 😍 Thank you for sharing this!

[@persephonekraker2399]

It wouldve been a better calendar if they wouldve used this type of set up and design for like body and skin products because those would be things they couldve put in little potion bottles and using like a play on that people mix skin care items together to make things that work best for them as making potions and ideas like that i think wouldve fit the potions cabinet alot better

[@deek3586]

Yessssss I'm so excited for this one ❤❤❤❤❤ edit I was excited for this one 😐

[@candicemorgan979]

I think when u put in perspective the price per item, the value is there. It’s less than 4 pounds per item (not including the packaging (which is the 2nd best part of it- the flying key was the best)). In the park I think the pens alone would be around 4 pounds each. If u think about it that way, the items that are given exceed what you would pay for them individually 🤷🏼‍♀️ But I also agree the flying key should’ve been last (albeit they show it on the front, so maybe that’s why it’s 1)

[@Kaia.Duval.]

I absolutely love the aesthetic of this calendar. It's beautiful and I would probably even keep it on display. The items not so much 😬 I would probably switch out the pens, pencils, badges and bookmarks for something else, or at least not repeat the same things more than once. I love the scrunchie though 😅
