In my opinion that tiny book was the most beautiful thing I've seen in advent calendars by far

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 love the presentation of this calendar but certain items for me weren't worth that price tag. My favourite item was the tiny book.

Cherry I do love the fact that almost every Advent calendar you have done you have tried to color coordinate with it. And I love that and I think that's very very cool.

The box was beautiful and some of the days had nice items, but I don't think I would have been happy spending $150 with what the end results were. This is why I love your Advent Calendar videos!

I ended up buying this for my daughter after watching the video. I know a lot of people say it's not worth the money, but to me it is. The actual haul may not be, but having this sitting on our bar for my daughter to come home and pull a new surprise out of the bus for the 24 days leading up to Christmas makes it worth it in entertainment value alone. Life is short, enjoy it while you can!

This box was lovely and did have a lot of nice items, but that price tag is INSANE for this! It needs to be like $100 less for the items included imo. For $150 I would expect a lot more metal items (maybe even jewelry or something of the like) and nothing like pencils or measuring tapes.

if these advent calendars are going to be £££ they should not include stickers & cookie cutters. don't want to spend my hard earned money on stickers that I probably won't use. 😭

A moment for all of Cherry’s co-ordinating outfits, eyeshadows, nails etc!! 👏👏👏

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.

It seems to me that they pay more attention on the outside than on the inside. The advent calendar itself was beautifully made, really amazing. But some of the items were pretty cheap. I was a bit disappointed I must say.

Packaging is amazing. Love the little riddle messages in each box. It started out strong but very quickly the items became very low value 😕

I love the packaging on this one…the inside was perfectly done

I think that when they have a cohesive design and materials, then the Advents are worth it. But when they have a few great items and then a few cheap items, I feel like people get scam, you know. If everything had been metal, even the cookie cutters and sharpener, it would have been awesome

I was so excited that #2 said eagle... but it clearly pictured a raven.

Definitely paying for the production of the packaging. Display or re-use is a must to justify that much money! Some of those items were nice, but some definitely need upgrading to also justify the cost. I’m so glad Cherry and others are doing these reactions so we can make decisions about these advent calendars.

The Hogwarts book could be an ornament as well? The ribbon bookmark looks like it can be used to hang them.

I think this is better than the crystal one that was well spensive !

“Take it away Ernie!!” 😂💚

I absolutely loved the packaging of that one but honestly, I'm not that impressed with the contents, especially for the price. I had the same favourites as you (+ the tea towel) but thought the rest was pretty cheap 😅 And I was very disappointed in the socks, which could easily have been one of my faves too (me loving Patronuses and socks ^^) but were just not magical at all to me. I don't know if I'm being weird or too demanding but, even though I think the packaging is important, I'd rather buy an expensive calendar with a simpler packaging but high quality items inside. Also, I would really really love it if they could do an ornament advent calendar someday!

As an American, I needed your wonderful accent to open this and give it more magic. So glad I found you! ❤

I think with calenders Like this and the potion one (and propably the Disney/Swarovski one aswell) you are paying a Lot for the packaging alone.

I agree with all that you said. For $150, they could have done more.

I think I liked the tea towel the most but I don’t think I could justify paying more than 75 dollars for this calendar

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.

The tiny book is also a Christmas tree ornament 😁 they do different ones. The ribbon in pages is to hang it 🥰

The book is an ornament too! Personally the favorite of the box! ❤

Better than the Swarovski ones atleast lmao

So far. The lush calendar has been the only one that doesn't feel like a rip off.

Love that they had clues on each box. So sweet

watching this is more fun than that disney one.

I find that 90% of the time the Harry Potter advent calendars are just not worth the money. I found only half of the calendar has things I would enjoy…the rest was just junk to me. I am constantly disappointed with official Harry Potter merchandise lately.

Whole day waiting for that sweetest "hello friends, wizards, witches and muggels" 🤩 love u Cherry, hugs and kisses from Germany ❤

Me gustó mucho mas este que el de Swarovski

The fun factor did help a little, and all those ornaments were adorable, but I agree, maybe not fully worth the price.😊

Overall, I completely agree with your evaluation, Cherry; though the quality of the items in this calendar is generally pretty high, the value of the items alone is not enough to justify the steep price tag. However, the beautiful presentation combined with the experience of reading the clues and opening each box definitely add to the value of the calendar. With that being said, I personally would not pay £128 for an advent calendar like this one. 😅 But I loved watching you open it, so thank you for another great video, Cherry! ☺️❤

I fell head over heels for that chocolate frog sweater 💜

The fact that it comes out about just over £5 for each door is wild for most of these items

Honestly, this is actually a really good advent calendar…i love that everything was well made and useful…and since they have licensing seems like you can def collect and sell them as well…i love the metallic finish in most of the items (i love gold too and vintage stuff)…and the coaster wasn’t just one for one box, rather 4 tin coasters…i know its not the usual design but I think because of how unique the artwork style is, it might become more valuable item to keep or sell…but I love the baggage tag because its so well made and easily recognizable…i love the packaging too very thought out…

I really appreciate that you show a close up on each item, give us an idea of the quality of the item, and also share your honest opinion! I feel like I've seen some others open advent calendars who just show everything in a positive light or ignore negative stuff they notice. It's so helpful to us as your audience to know that we can trust you and to help us decide where to spend our money!

I prefer this to the Disney Swarvoski one. Can tell by facial expressions that Cherry wasn't impressed with everything, but, for a HP fan such as she is, she will like these more. Advent calendars, these days, if you want decent stuff, aren't cheap. Great video

Were the boxes really big compared to the items inside or am I imagining that? Feels kinda bad if they are selling you air, the size made me expect much larger items

Would definitely get this! A specially since the night bus was introduced in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban! Th start of the book was set during Christmas soo definitely a great time to have the advent calender!

This is my absolutely favorite advent calendar for Harry Potter! Love the book mark, the keychain, Faux the Phoenix, the towel, the cookie cutters. And loooove the box!!

i've only just found you and honestly, your voice is so soothing and beautiful. and the way you love harry potter... i love it.

Only on day 8 and I am already in love with this. I do agree that I probably wouldn't buy all of those in a shop for that price, but when you look up prices, the value probably is about that amount being they are licensed items. The presentation was very fun and I did love a lot of the items. Thank you for sharing all of your advent calendar unboxings!

The tiny book is BY FAR the best item of them all!

I think the socks are meant to be in the design of a Christmas jumper! 20:34

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.

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.

The box was better than some of the items included in the calendar. I did like the specific items you chose but the others left me feeling flat. They just weren’t worth it.

Personally I think back to the $35 Harry Potter calendar you had. This costs 4 of those, and I would rather have 4 action figures (If they had one for different characters) then one of this. Or really, I'd rather have the $35 calendar + wine + big food order than this for a good night of fun lol It's just, if I pay over $100 for a calendar, I want no ornament, sticker, postcards... and obvious filler items they had. Like the bookmarks :/

You could use the luna lovegood pouch for tarot cards or a cell phone too. Or even crystals. Loved the tiny book! how adorable! Purple is your color as well Cherry. Love the frog jumper!

My sister in law loves Harry Potter. I bet she would love this advent calendar.

The Knight Bus and Potions packaging is almost cooler than the items. You could totally have those on shelves. They’re doubly awesome because you can put everything back inside and store it there or store something else in there. For kids, I’d have loved something to play with like that too. All the metal items were very nice; the flying key, chocolate frog, ornaments, and measuring tape. I guessed right and especially like the mini book.

What a wonderful calendar. Better than some subscription boxes! A little pricey though

I loved this one! I love that the sections were boxes that are able to be put back easily. The night bus is one of my favorite things in the movies! Not sure I would spend $150 but a lot of cute items!

I love how honest your reviews are

Cherry, thank you. You motivated me to start my own channel. I loved doing a video on this. Great items inside and is beautiful to keep on display!

I appreciate you being genuinely honest with your reviews. I don't think you were overly harsh, and you were complementary of the items you did enjoy. Thank you for the lovely video.

I like the socks because they’re like a classic Christmas sweater design and you know they’re a patronus. If you want something that screams Harry potter they’re not the best but they’re a nice subtle nod to Harry Potter

Another cute box keepsake! I hope Cherry will display it on her shelves. It would be so cute!

I really rate this one! 10/10. I was hoping that hermoines time travel necklace was gonna be there though. Also, your jumper is banging! X

My fave was the Hogwarts book. Would be so cute with my tiny Hogwarts castle! I agree it’s not worth the price though 😓

I was also not a fan of modern geometric for something magical 😅

watching the advent calendar vids before i sleep is always amazing and gives me comfy winter vibes☺

The layout and packaging reminds me of how well down the DW TARDIS Avent Calendar was.

OMG! I love the golden phoenix Christmas ornament it is my favorite ❤

I think the Hogwarts book is another ornament I think. The bookmark in it looks like a looped ribbon.

I loved how you had to look for the quote in the Golden snitch's box ❤ as if you were actually searching it! I really appreciate these tiny details!

I think it’s interesting that on the coasters every one has the founder’s artifact except for Gryffindor’s, it just has a crown for some reason.

And this is why I never actually buy advent calendars and just watch others open them lol. A lot of times they way overcharge for what they deliver so what I've seen.

I like the tea towel most of all. They could have made a whole box around that theme - home decor, vintage-looking design.

This was beautiful! I think the best one so far. I am still a bit disappointed in the Potions one.... Started my homemmade ones for the kids, but already stolen some ideas I can DIY thank you again, Cherry

The tiny Hogwarts book was the best item in the calendar, and the overall presentation was exquisite! (Cinereplicas could never lol).

My inner 19 year-old fan girl is bursting with excitement and joy! My 40+ year-old body is trying not to disturb my neighbors 😁♥️♥️ Happy Christmas! 🎄

I love how your on theme for the unboxing 💜😆 And I loved the mini book 🥺

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 Knight Bus box was brilliant .Very pretty, detailed and with high hopes for inside gifts. But the inside ideas was terrible for me. Bunch of usefull gifts. I liked the Mattel calendar better, I will buy it and use for Instagram photos during the year so far.

I'm loving the nails in each of these unboxings 😍

Your power at 29:51 was scary how you made the knight bus vanish. Loving your advent calendar reviews.

I would bake in the cost of the knight bus itself as a decent value. I also loved the puzzles and details for each item. To me, in the US, I believe it is worth it.

Monetary it may not equate but your joy in opening them was lovely ... Part of the experience x

Better than the Disney one for sure 😊

It started strong but around the halfway mark it started to fall flat. For the price it's a no for me. But I do love the design of the advent box itself

That chooo choooo was amazing!!!!!

The colour coordination of the calendar and the jumper is the cherry on top (hehe) 🤩✨

Shame the coaster isn’t an eagle for raven claw

Same with the potions advent calendar, the calendar itself is stunning!!!! Absolutely gorgeous en magical! ✨ However, the contents are not living up to the expectations (based on the packaging). The items I liked were the chocolate frog paperweight, the fawks the phoenix ornament, the Hogwarts castle ornament, the yule bal tea towel, the flying key-ring, the two pins, the snitch bookmark and the quoted pencils (although I'm not sure if these pencils on their own were worth one day. Maybe in combination with the pencil sharpener and stickers?). My least favourite items were the socks, the measuring tape, the stickers, the coasters, the deck of cards. And somewhere in the middle were the postcards, the magnet, the cookie cutters, the teeny tiny harry potter book and the the Hogwarts ball ornament. They have missed the mark with a couple of items. The coasters could have been amazing. Same goes for the deck of cards, coasters. Obviously it's personal preference, because there might be a lot of muggles out there really like those designs!

Very impressed by the variety and quality of most of this box. I was skeptical about the cookie cutter but that was a nice one. The pencils look to be much better quality than the pencil and pens from the potion cabinet one but not what I’d want if I spent $150. Definitely disappointed by the plastic pencil sharpener and the measuring tape, the socks could definitely be designed better, and they shouldn’t be putting basic stickers in a box this expensive.

First, I have to say...purple is your color! I love your shirt! The packaging of this calendar was pretty darn coo. The pencil sharpener and tape measure were kind of laughable items, though.

I love the Chocolate Frog Paperweight too.

I love how her eye shadow and outfit matches the calendar!!!

I JUST picked up a Harry Potter advent calendar for my stepson. He’s a grown up, but still I was excited when I found it and now I’m so excited to see him unpack it!!!!!

You look so gorgeous Cherry and love that you are your outfits are matching your advent calendar so cute! Love it ❤

I love how the last gift matches your jumper; I love all of your jumpers 😍😍🥰

I like that the paper products aren’t bent like the other HP calendars.

I love when books come in their own box, and that is a really nice tiny book.

One thing ive learned from watching all these KZfaqrs open advent calendars over the years, its that they are very rarely worth the ££ but some make the experience exciting xx

When I started adding up in my head what i might pay for simular items at Hot Topic, definitely worth the price. The Ornaments and box itself i feel make up for it.
