With the tapestry if you can iron it flat, then maybe pin or glue it to a board or fit it in a large photo frame, that could be nice?

I was screaming at her in my laptop when she opend it and did not know what reference it is :D

[@sweetwizardinghome]

This box was definitely more book references than movie ones. Those who know the books well get the references pretty much right away. I personally love to listen to the audiobooks at least one a year.

[@shivanijenevive]

The Wizarding Trunks magic is creating those little book reference items that me gasp with joy!

[@mcjes16]

PNB Phineas N. Black was a headmaster at Hogwarts so he had a portrait in Dumbledore's office and one at Grimmauld place. Hermione took it in her bag and used it to spy a bit on Snap4 while he was headmaster and stuff. It was in the books but they didnt include it in the movies.

[@katharinar.4463]

I was going to write that, but then I saw your comment 😀 I think it’s quite sad, that they didn’t include it in the movie. I just loved how Hermione thought about thinks like the portrait, all in preparation

I am obsessed with the troll foot. It’s charmingly hideous and a sneaky reference to book 5. I’d *love* to put a plant in it and tuck it into a nice little corner of my patio garden.

[@shivanijenevive]

That's a great idea!

[@mandya2zm]

Me too! Love the troll foot design.

[@arthurtheaardvark13]

I want it for my garden too!

[@kristatindall9977]

What a great idea

[@brittanyschaub9040]

I mean, they’re not niche references for the books. The portrait of phineas is introduced in book 5, there are references to it in 6 in dumbledores office, and the trio carry it around for like, a third of deathly hallows. Tonks always knocks over the troll foot umbrella stand when entering number 12, which makes the portrait of Sirius’s mother wake up and yell. In general, the entire house of black and black family are known to be dark wizards. It makes sense that the items in the box would be dark. I wish they had included the music box that makes everyone sleepy (until Ginny closed it) that was thrown away in book 5.

[@brittanyphillipps8899]

In the books, Slytherin's Locket is described as a large, oval locket of heavy gold with a serpentine 'S' in green jewels. Dustin said he made it silver because it felt more Slytherin. The movie locket is a whole different thing.

[@iracatolico9822]

It’s obviously gonna be dark if it is Black Family themed. I love that they are all book based. Loooove everything.

[@lm3102]

The reason the lockets are similar is because the “adult” cover of Deathly Hallows has a locket just like that design! So in a way it’s book accurate!!!

[@ambergerber5162]

​@@cherrywallisDon't worry about that. My memory is so bad I can't remember if I read all the books or not. Lol the only reason I can retain HP references is because my brain absorbs pop culture stuff really easy and they were made into movies. The books I have two sets. One I keep on a shelf and the other I read. The ones I read I have to take notes in so I remember what I read. I don't know if that helps. I really love your channel. Gonna be completely honest I know this video was posted 2 years ago, this is the second time I've went through all of your videos. You have helped me through some really terrible depression that I have been going through due to some big losses. I just wanted to say thank u.

[@cassandrasmith2771]

What I love about Cherry is that she shares her honest opinion. This may not have been her favourite box but she still did a wonderful job unboxing it. She might just have different taste in what she likes to include in her collection and that’s ok. Thanks Cherry

[@EdaEkinci]

I honestly think they outdone themselves in this box. i loved it!!!! i would not use the elf head either but its such a cool detail, and the black family is a dark and evil family and i think they showcased that so well!!!

[@oliviap.8750]

And for the house elves was an honor to have their heads on the wall 🧱.... 🍒 Cherry is a Gryffindor to the bones; that's why she didn't like the idea to have that head on her wall. 🤭

[@JosiMariah208]

I loved the troll foot umbrella holder! The stained glass pieces go on your bookshelf, between books, with a light behind.

[@mazzy2121]

I don't know if I've ever heard you mention this: have you only seen the movies or have you read the books? The troll foot is pretty prominent in the books. I also didn't like the key but liked the key chain. I don't really see the items as niche myself. They all seemed super spot on for the House of Black and I loved this box. For me the best items are toss ups between the troll leg, house elf head, and the headmaster portrait pin. Best sub box. Wizarding Trunk is by far #1 these days.

[@arthurtheaardvark13]

Cherry says she has read the books/listened to the audiobooks multiple times, but that her memory is really bad. I hope she rereads them soon! Sometimes i find it a tiny bit frustrating to watch when the items are such clear references and the unboxer isn’t getting them.

[@cherrywallis]

Oh wow! Well done!

[@LJG7654]

I really liked this box. I think expecting a box on the Black family to have only "light" items is odd. The whole family (before Sirius) was dark, Slytherins, pure bloods. I thought the house elf head was genius! The troll foot was kind of a given for me. Tonks kept on tripping over it making Walburga shriek. Some unusual and one of a kind replicas were in it. The tapestry was really nice too, even though it's been done before.

[@JessicaElizabeth74]

phineas nigellus isn't really that niche, imo. He was vital in locating Harry and allowing Snape to present him with the sword. I guess a lot of the film stuff has been done and it's now the book items that are being brought to life. I'd recommend listening to them to increase knowledge base and then things will make sense 😀

[@magic.unleashed]

I thought they hit it out of the park with book references! As soon as the theme of the box was announced, i hoped they would do a troll foot and elf head! The pin and portrait were brilliant ideas to!

[@cherrywallis]

Oh I don’t disagree, it was 100% on theme.

[@kerryhughes5321]

I actually loved everything in this box. Even the key. Yes it's big but for a shelf and collection it's awesome. This box is all unusual and not the standard for characters etc. The family tree, you could make into a large cuddle pillow. Get a dark fabric for the back ❤ as always love your videos ❤ some dark items but so different

[@ElectroT0y]

Cherry, you REALLY need to read the books again. You've forgotten so many details that it's makes me sad. Also, they got the Black Family Motto wrong. It's Toujours Pur which means Always Pure.

[@annettemalaski1967]

Because of copywrite issues they had to make an adjustment to the motto!

[@Amie-RoseVerrall]

I love how this box is more to the books than the films xxx

[@natashamariano2790]

Omg same!!

[@misskay3789]

A lot of comments eating at Cherry about missing references. I’ve reread HP many many many times and I can honestly say I STILL miss references all the time and it doesn’t mean me or Cherry love HP any less. I didn’t recognize the relevance of the troll foot honestly and the PNB I recognized his name of course but couldn’t place the name. Again doesn’t make either of us any less of a HP fan. I remembered the house elf head stuffing tradition of the Black family mainly just because that made a strong impression reading as a kid since it was incredibly disturbing. Obviously it’s not the only upsetting thing in HP but sometimes details stick and sometimes they don’t. Hence the rereading, but as adults we don’t always have the time and it isn’t for lack of trying. And when we do have the time sometimes we want to read or do other things which still doesn’t make either of us any less of a fan or love HP any less.

[@danielpedigo72]

I love that everything (printwise) looked like oil paintings. It's very aesthetic

[@elisaciclet9369]

For the key, i think it's so big because it represent the black family. And from Sirius talk it's as big as their ego but that's just my theory.😁

[@shivanijenevive]

Yeah, I thought it was too big and clumsy. But, then I also thought it's exactly as they would want it.

They take it out and ask him questions about Hogwarts.

[@biancachacamp]

Many people have suggested using the troll foot as a planter to put at your front door or in your garden. If you do that, make sure to go to your local hardware store and get some weather proofing spray or other sealant so the paint job doesn't get ruined by rain and dirt. You'd probably also need to drill a small hole in the bottom for drainage so the plant doesn't get waterlogged. Seal the inside, outside, and bottom.

[@ivy-suemaynard9013]
