I love watching these videos because Cherry doesn't pretend to be amazed when something just has a sticker or emblem slapped on an item to make it match a theme. Also calling it as it is. Absolutely amazing and probably saving people from getting Advent Calendars that really aren't worth the money. I will say I do like the little cell phone canvas bag but I'd use it for when I go to my garden for herbs because it seems too easy to snap that little strap if it was used for a phone.

Hi Cherry. Do you know what would have been cool? 1- If the box the chocolate frog came in, be made of metal and be a pencil sharpener. 2- The jigsaw should have been made better, coming in a box and the design could be Hedwig flying in the night sky carrying a letter from Sirius. 3- Instead of those two small bags, could be a t-shirt with the design of Great Hall decorated for Christmas. I have been enjoying this series. So fun. My 2 fave advent calendars are the barbie one and the one with harry potter doll. xo

The first cheaper tote you pulled out would be a great wet bag for the beach or something (put all your wet clothing items in it so nothing else gets wet). The second smaller bag, the sorcerers stone one, you can use as like a travel bag for electronic cords, medication, menstrual care, etc. same with the mini black drawstring bag. ❤

The post in notes and the pen are my favorites. I absolutely love the eraser chocolate frog with box. I think it would be cooler if the made the box a pencil shapener! And gave even a pencil or pack of them instead of the balloon or some other junk in there.

I think the one thing to keep in mind is that most advent calendars on the market, especially the Harry Potter themed ones are meant to be tailored to kids. Which definitely explains the cheap quality of most of the items in them because let’s face it many children don’t really “take care” of their items they just sort of go through them, wear them out, wreck them until they are ready for the discard bin. 😂 I think what should be done is that the companies should make a change in their marketing strategies. Have a calendar full of items for adults that would still hit them in the feels of their nostalgia, but make those items of better and higher quality. The calendars for the children could be upgraded a bit as well, at least enough for the products to last 5 years or longer. Now the question that remains is what exactly should be in the adult-styled advent calendars? 😄 Great video overall Cherry, way to power through! 😊❤️

I really like the actual calendar itself and think you could reuse it and make a fun and fantastic calendar for a HP fan for years to come! The calendar otherwise must be themed for kids b/c there are many products that are of substandard quality which adults are going to be quick to point out and be unhappy with while a child may find it still fun and not mind that it breaks within a few uses. I’m happy to see the calendars themselves having so much nicer designs and being of a quality that they can even be reusable but they can’t use all the budget and creativity on the packaging. This was an improvement from last year for sure! Next year, let’s see some more effort made to increase the quality of the items -ie. no helium balloons, paper puzzles, etc!

I think I would've put the gloves on the other side if the logo had been lower on the hand, not touching the knuckles. Yet I still wouldn't put it in a calendar since they seem like pretty big gloves, and they probably wouldn't really fit a lot of people. I personally like the cookie cutter. I'm not a young witch, but I do like chibi. I like that it has a spring on the back and I'd have far more fun with it than justified. I like frisge magnets, I think I'd be pleased with getting that as well, though it'd be somewhere in the middle for me. I think Aunt Petunia's pudding would've been cool if it'd been an ornament or something, I guess you could use it like that instead of a bracelet. I do agree it looks horrible for it's intended purpose. Personally I would actually be pretty happy with the drawstring pouch. I'm always looking for ways to store my dice and this would definitely be a magical way of doing it. Then on the other side... I wouldn't really want the stickers, or the post it notes. I just really wouldn't use them. The design on the notes is cute, but I'd put them somewhere and lose it. Over all... glad I'm not buying that thing. The fact that they call this 'deluxe' doesn't promote anything good for their company. I'd like to see quality when something says 'deluxe', but half these items are of Wish quality, sadly.

Hello Cherry, on the totally agree with all your comments. The bag and stickers are about a quid on Temu, the bags on there are better quality and you get 100 stickers. Yes the presentation box was slightly better quality and getting little boxes to open are a bit above. Were there any collectables ? No. Thank you for sharing.👵🏴🌹 I have watched quite a few of your previous vids and enjoyed the blind box openings, of course you must know by now that when you have a boxed set of them you get the set, but most special ones are odds of 1 in 144 and the cards will tell you it is the special one.
