FIRST LOOK: 2023 Harry Potter Village by Department 56 | HUGE Unboxing and Announcement

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

I want them all!! To add to the wish list - the Ministry of Magic. Could you imagine? The hall with all the fireplaces and a telephone booth rising up, the golden fountain as the coordinating figure. The courtroom with Fudge and Umbridge. Of course, those are more indoor scenes than the outside of houses, but it would certainly be unique!

[@ThePotterCollector]

Oh that could be really cool!!

[@DLFH]

That would be epic!!

[@TheVerbalVolley]

OMG, Peter! You made me both tear up and smile to see your grandmother (and my Aunt) in this video. She was quite a lady.

[@srrfounder1]

Congratulations on being the ambassador for Dept. 56, Peter, they couldn't have picked a better person! 💚 Happy Holidays! 🎅🎄☃️

[@ThePotterCollector]

Hey thanks! It was really exciting to reveal the new pieces. 😄

[@srrfounder1]

@@ThePotterCollector They're stunning! I can't wait to see them up next year! The details! Wow!

[@gabriellastorrar-patricio4836]

Will you be posting an updated look at your Christmas village? Since you have all the new bits and bobs

[@Kara_Lovely]

Thank you for bringing sunshine to my rainy days! Happy Christmas Peter!

[@ThePotterCollector]

Happy Christmas!

[@lazyhomebody1356]

I just got Neville in front of Honeydukes, and Lupin in front of the Shrieking Shack from Funko Pop, and now I want these! The Honeydukes model is perfection

[@mollygodfrey2547]

Looking forward to seeing all of these set up when you get the chance after renovations!

[@ThePerlaTorres]

I would love to see a Florian Fortescue’s ice cream shop, 🍦and a Madam Puddifoot’s tea shop 🫖💞

[@verita-e-amore]

Aw, Grandma and little Peter! 🥲 That was a special surprise. And I’m so proud of you, just sayin’. ❤

[@PaigeLovesPumpkins]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come out with Hagrid dragging the Christmas tree across the Courtyard 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

All I can say is, WOW. Just wow. Personally, I would love to use the houses as book nooks on my bookshelf. They’re all too stunning to only be used once a year!

[@TheVerbalVolley]

I ordered the entire Harry Potter village from The Bradford Exchange for my niece. I actually ordered the entire series, because there are about 32 shipments, which would take a total of around 2.5 years to receive the entire village. The total was much, m much more expensive than I expected, but it will make her happy, and happiness beats money any day. She and I are Potter fanatics.

[@ThePotterCollector]

There is nothing like a Harry Potter village! 😍

[@jackie8357]

This is so beautifully done - can't wait to see a their complete village - the book store is gorgeous!

[@BluePhoenix7373]

Thank you for this lovely video! My favorite building so far is also the Three Broomsticks: I just love the lighting effects. Hogsmeade looks so cozy, and the look of that building adds to the ambiance. We need a 4 Privet Drive, whether perfectly normal (thank you very much) or swarmed with owls. 😁 I absolutely agree with wanting a full quidditch pitch, as well!

[@ThePotterCollector]

Oh swarmed with owls would be phenomenal!!! But perfectly normal (thank you very much) would be great too!

[@AbdulHalim-ue8nl]

Happy holiday everyone, early wish for you ❤️

[@lordprecliktwo7332]

Funfact for those who haven't read the books, Harry and draco first met on diagonal alley in Madam Malkin's Robes but Draco didn't realize at time who Harry is ,And the part where they introduced themselves didn't happen just before the ceremony but already on the train

[@thetowerfantasymusic]

Quality Quidditch Supplies is my favorite... The front looks so cozy

[@lordprecliktwo7332]

Btw if you like diagon alley then there Is lego harry potter 75978 diagonal alley(5544 pieces) And included is Ollivanders Wand Shop,Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes,Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour,Scribbulus Writing Implements,Flourish & Blotts And Quality Quidditch Supplies And there Is rumour about expansions sets coming

[@kimberlyaustin6677]

Awesome!!!! Thank you for bringing us all things Harry Potter. Not all of us can travel or have $$$ so we are living vicariously through you!!!!

[@KneppwoodatHome]

These are a dream collection for me ❤ We sell a ton of the vintage Dept 56 holiday village pieces at the antique shop. They’re crazy popular and insanely detailed. I love your videos ☺️

[@ThePotterCollector]

The vintage ones can go for so much!

[@KneppwoodatHome]

@@ThePotterCollector yes they do, lol. I’m always amazed, lol

[@armandperez8960]

I think it would be great if they realised all Hogwarts rooms, corridors, etc. Making them close for one side and open in the other, like dioramas, so, when you purchase the whole set you could build hogwarts. It would be like a gigiant house doll part by part of Harry Potter.

[@littlejonathorn6860]

So cool Peter!!!! I am staying tuned for sure. Exciting things are coming out.

[@COEPratikSan]

They are just cool but the character designing is little bit changed because my childhood is full of Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter that's why I think character designing is different

[@kathryncannon6627]

Happy Christmas Peter! And potter collector community! 🎉❤😊

[@ThePotterCollector]

Happy Christmas!

[@witchyangelambience6112]

Hi Peter! Thank you for sharing the Harry Potter Village from Department 56! So exciting to see the new ones for 2023!

[@janetbowersox83]

For 2023.....i love the bookstore! Thank you for sharing! I will be going to Universal next week for the first time! Taking my grand daughter! So excited! Thanks again for sharing!

[@nancyoleksy]

I wish I had someplace to display this stuff I would love all of it. But, I live in a tiny condo and nowhere to put it. Thank you for showing this though. I love Department 56, they make amazing things. Merry Christmas Peter.

[@furrysfunnies]

anything that takes batteries will also be able to plug into the wall if you get the adapter (it will do three)

[@giannis6552]

I have just started collecting the Harry Potter village and I am hooked. I need to plan my orders but I am a bit concerned if the won't be some pieces available in the future.

[@darkrey_BriesVersion]

Do you have any tips on where to find HP hardback sawn binding books? I’m not worried about printing year. I’m reading the series for the first time and have noticed that the hardbacks seem to all be glued binding now days

[@kelseyjean291]

I have a special place in my heart for Christmas Villages❤️ I would always look forward to seeing the one my Grandma set up every year. Now I have the privilege of having them and setting them up. Would love to add some of the Harry Potter ones to it!🎄

[@Arieltheonly]

Honey dukes building is my favorite. The colors go so well and love the snow.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Always nice to have stroll amongst the magical shops! If only I could live there! Happy Holidays everyone!! 🎄⛄🎄

[@darlenenickerson6492]

What a magnificent collection! Everything has been done to perfection!❤️

[@paular3254]

Hi, looking at the dementor base plate (being grass). I wonder if Department 56 is going to do the lake where Harry conjures his patronus to save Sirius Black from the Dementors? Hmm..

[@BeeBaldwin]

Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄🌟🎁✨

[@aliterarylady609]

Happy Christmas to you and your Family!!!😃

[@jdbrickson9857]

Here is an idee for departement 56: Maybe they can make the transport of the other magic schools.

[@channysmith83]

Merry Christmas everyone

[@debraevans6993]

I need the boat with Harry and Ron! It would look great on my display table I painted with the lake. Thanks for showing these.

[@cassandrasmith2771]

I really need them to make a Florean Fortiscue building from diagon alley. I’d also love to see the Lovegood house and shell cottage

[@ThePotterCollector]

Agreed to all three!!!

[@sponkianna8652]

Shell cottage! 😍😍😍

[@KyeWB]

The previous video on dept 56 is definitely a favourite! These are amazing pieces for any collector 🤩

[@corgilover2319]

Wow! I have never seen anything like this before. I think clear blue patronus animals would be cool figures to add.

[@izzystudies296]

I love it! One day I’m gonna get all of it! I can’t now but I will buy each and everyone of them and decorate them for Christmas as a Christmas village!

[@GaryAndHeatherBush]

Your setup video a couple years ago is one of my absolute favorites. Very cool video. Well done Peter! Blessings always. 💕🙏🏼

[@gracio1231]

congrats Peter!! n hopefully they’ll make a draco malfoy figure for this year or a slytherin house

[@manthuis]

Have you ever reviewed the Hallmark line of houses/wizard businesses? I've been collecting the yearly releases... and fortunately they fit my budget better!

[@NUalum82]

a few of the harry potter buildingd (observatory / boathouse etc I bought on line appear to be Euro models where the lights inside ar fixed and a plug cord comes from the building - it plugs into a cord that goes to the wa// are there any battery adapters for these building to plug into. it's a male cord that comes out of the building - all battery boxes i can find have lights attached (

[@joicebobes4620]

Thank you for the preview Peter!! So excited to add these next year. Hope we get the Azkaban Prison as well to go with that dementor!

[@janetbowersox83]

Have a very Merry Christmas!

[@ThePotterCollector]

Same to you Janet!

[@victoriascholl4607]

Oooh these are so fun! 😜👍 hmm, the figures are too big for the doors.

[@darciebaumgart5083]

Wow!! These are all fabulous. I can't wait to see it all set up. I wish i had space for all of it. Extraordinary

[@michaeltrainum5471]

I want the Forbidden Forest!! Think of all the cool stuff they could include..the Weasleys car, Hagrids brother.. centaurs, spiders, unicorns. The possibilities are endless ✨️ 🕷 🦄 🚗

[@KimCard-eu4un]

I have eveything that is out except the whomping willow. I have not ever been able to find it. Wish they would come out again

[@lindabell7975]

Merry Christmas to you xxx

[@Brooksie603]

Those are really nice. I wish I had the space to collect things like that.

[@IzukuMidoriya38855]

I finally got my Hogwarts letter! Eight years late but so cool! It's a keychain, too!

[@saber-of-red2017]

I have been to the bridge in Scotland and been on the Jacobite with is the train the hogwarts express is based of going over that bridge 😁

[@maryannsarkady7950]

Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year Peter

[@oakelm8915]

How do you go about storing all of your pieces? For the Christmas village I mean. I am having a difficult time with storing mine, because they are so bulky in their packaging.

[@ThePotterCollector]

I store them in large cardboard boxes in a closet in the basement.

[@JennaDanelle]

I have been working hard on getting all of these! I hope they come out w more magical creatures as figurines and I want to see the greenhouse! I just got the boathouse for Christmas!

[@bigonbooks4736]

I have several Department 56 regular like Grandma’s House but not Harry Potter. Looking through them they look cool, mixing them would be weird though.

[@traceybradbury5022]

Happy Christmas 🎄

[@marvinpasumbal9077]

Merry Christmas Peter. God bless you and your family. I really enjoy your videos. Regards to your family. Keep it up. Take care.

[@mykestoel3003]

when in toronto visit Wizard Market for the line of dept56 potter village

[@annramsey8828]

Oh such fun. Wish I had room for these. Enjoy, Peter.

[@janetbowersox83]

My favorite piece....Honey Dukes ......for 2022.....

[@brenna.fr.]

Let’s see your new setup and the new 2024 releases!!!! Amazing video

[@trishaowens4298]

Merry Christmas Peter.

[@kprawicka]

Peter I like these now I just have to find some room for these. I like the honey dukes one madam milking robes For all occasions and the hermoine figure

[@robertfigueroa7835]

Dept 56 is great but can you make a video about the Hallmark Christmas ornaments? I've been collecting them and they are pretty detailed and nicely done.

[@Cat_Marr]

OMG with Sirius Black! Yes please ❤

[@naomiemitchell3639]

They are all perfect, love them.

[@ginaornelas490]

Omg I love them all Especially the houses I'd love to see Malfoy manor

[@dees3179]

With a flock of bad tempered albino peacocks…..that would be amazing.

[@slateportraichu5416]

Congratulations on being the ambassador for Dept.56, Peter=3 I want all of them -every piece is beautiful=)

[@MegaDreamer87]

I love seeing the video of you being younger.

[@maryannsarkady7950]

I like Department 56 ‘s Who Village from The Grinch ! It’s amazingly adorable !

[@jordanalexander5881]

I absolutely love the village buildings and accessories but the scale of the figures bothers me so much! I feel its an oversight on department 56’s part!

[@jennyrae2943]

My dad has a Christmas village and it’s my FAVORITE thing and every year I remind him that when he dies, the village is mine 😂

[@ThePotterCollector]

LOL! I love villages!!!

[@cheryls4659]

I love these!! Thank you for sharing!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!

[@carnivalpupcringe]

I love little villages Especially Harry Potter

[@glendaedwards7300]

Everything is beautiful. It must have taken you hours to do this video. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@ThePotterCollector]

It did indeed! But so worth it!

[@lj_xx3882]

I go to north yorkshire all the time where this was filmed and it looks amazing. so accurate

[@ThePotterCollector]

Super accurate! 🤩

[@AquilaLorelei]

MAGICAL BOOKSTORE! MAGICAL! BOOKSTORE! YISSSSSSS! HELLO THERE!

[@ThePotterCollector]

Yes! :D

[@hobbylobby6357]

Are these heavy ?

[@jackiecovault3814]

Love all of this! Do you know if buying The Whomping Willow anywhere is possible? Thank you!! I have all other pieces!

[@ThePotterCollector]

It is SO hard to find! And became hard to find really fast too. Your best bet is to keep checking eBay.

[@cynthiasaul4083]

I watched your fantastic beast video where you said nagini is in a mythical creature according to Wikipedia nickini is a mythical creature from India

[@joicebobes4620]

Wish department 56 would also create a quidditch pitch!

[@gryffwitch37]

Seanmus doesn't blow up the bridge, Neville does

[@obsessedwith_christmas]

What about Grimmauld place with an interior scene? It needs a matching Sirius figure (when he's cleaned up.) Also, love the movie quote you snuck in! Oh, and a whomping willow accessory. I am getting the Hermione figure!

[@georgioszavolas1832]

Def need the phone booth for the ministry of magic if we get Grimmauld Place

[@Kari-G]

Hmmm. Department 56 really missed a mark here. Why wouldn’t they have made something as unique as a lit-up knight bus?! Of all their stuff to light on up, WHY wouldn’t they have created something as cool as that. Almost makes me angry ha 😂

[@bees_nail_art82]

Love Ron & Sirius Black he's my favourite character Sirius I mean

[@annaliesemills4875]

Thanks so muvh for sharing! As a Hufflepuff we need at least one more piece to the Hogwarts grounds. I'm going to need a Greenhouse. As for other wishes: 4 Privet Drive Madam Puddifoots And definitely agreed...we need a real Quidditch Pitch

[@mattfirewire]

Weathervane on the boathouse, not a compass 😉

[@SummerAndAutumn]

do they already have hagrid’s hut?

[@prestonwilcox6061]

Hi Peter can you please put all of your Harry Potter Christmas stuff in one room 😊

[@snowysnowyriver]

I'm surprised that the companion piece to Flourish & Blotts is Harry with the Monster Book of Monsters because he didn't get his copy from there.

[@ThePotterCollector]

Perhaps because they were sold there. 🙂

[@TheKmt568]

Just wondering what the name of the song in the background is called? Thanks

[@aminaahmed6541]

It would be cool to have some dragon figurines

[@markroach1343]

I have an idea the Ally wear Harry and Dudley were attacked and the two dementors and Harry and Dudley
