Just a note to say: I'll always give my honest opinion and reviews here, regardless of who has made something. I review subscription boxes, it's part of the job to be honest and discuss things pragmatically. Also just because a lot of the items in this box didn't totally rock my socks, doesn't reflect on my thoughts on Peter. He's great, and you won't find a better Harry Potter Book / authentic signature expert than him, genuinely. I also admire the effort that goes into designing these boxes, it's hard work I'll never deny that. I understand that TWT sent out an email and social posts about the pen but my comment still stands, a pen shouldn't be confusing on how it functions, and it was (which is a shame because it looked like a freakin' GRYFFINDOR SWORD!) Peace and love.
Your honest opinion and professionalism is what makes you the favorite Harry Potter youtuber for so many people and the main reason we started collecting, through litjoy page we always mention you as the best. Please don’t feel you needed to justify yourself cause we love and respect you for who you are 🥰🥰🥰
How fun was that?! Thank you for opening The Keep Collecting Box! 💚 I'll be sure that an owl is sent with the headmaster pin and a new pen for you. Every lion should own that pen. As you probably know by now, the sword pen cap simply pulls off. No twisting is required. Well, twisting is required to replace the ink cartridge, but that little piece shouldn't have lodged itself in the cap. 🙁 The hole in the cap is actually there for safety. If a child were to be choking on the cap, the hole allows them to breathe. Whoever came up with that is a genius. I am glad that you loved the Baoding balls! They are indeed made of metal and once you get the hang of them, they are relaxing... but they take "patience". 😉 The pass is something found in the wizard schools here. Mr. F found out about them and asked the headmaster if teachers could begin to use them. The pass has prevented a lot of unnecessary detentions since then. As we know, the caretaker doesn't trust students. The house robe greeting cards are still one of my favorite items in the box. I am glad you enjoyed them! Keep Collecting!
Hi Peter! Ahh that’s so kind. I’m also looking forward to being a baoding ball expert (they’re sat on my desk), I love items that I can fidget with - perhaps I should be a Hufflepuff! 💛
Thank you for all the joy-bringing content lately! I found your channel a few years ago, watched all your old videos, and haven’t missed a single new one. Thank you for all the magic. That being said, make sure to take care of yourself first. Burnout is so real, these days more than ever. ♥️
I honestly was a little “meh” about the box too. But as you always say it’s personal preferences. Still like Peter and I am amazed by the time and effort he put in his box.
@@sabrinaaustin8432 thank you. And yeah same XD and he tried to make things not seen before in boxes so it’s cool. Like the pen, would have been totally fine with a letter opener but it already exist so he tried something else.
That’s what I feel too… I love Peter and his work, but this box didn’t wow me. I just purchased the next Keep Collecting box and I’m hoping for something better!!
I'm glad you were honest Cherry..I was a bit let down as well with this box, as it wasn't too cheap. Yours was the first reaction I've seen which was completely honest! But I still think Peter is awesome!!
The pen lid hole will be for child safety all good quality pen lids have holes in case they are swallowed to make sure the person who has swallowed can still breathe. Avoids airway blockage.
Also, usually you don't unscrew that much, in case of a swivel pen or twist cap. It makes sense to just first pull. But I get that Cherry is a bit more flustered and hasty than you or me, unboxing everything slowly at home. I do think it's fixable, just try to screw it back on, with all its innards, and then pull the cap off when it's securely screwed on again. I just personally feel like that pen is a great item, so I'm kinda bummed Cherry didn't get to write with it.
@@cherrywallis Maybe don't start pulling things apart if you're not sure how it works 😅 The pen is amazing! I loved it! And I like that someone gave the explanation of why there's whole on the cap.
@@zairajimenez1047 but cherry pulled it cause she thought it was a lid 😐 obviously she’s gonna pull it if she thinks it’s a lid! And if she didn’t pull it and it turned out it was a lid then people would also be complaining about how she didn’t try and open it! It was clearly confusing for her and a lot of other people when it’s just a pen it should have been way more simple!
There is a line of perfumes already, the name of the company is lost to my mind atm lol but There are reviews here on UA-cam for them. They are supposed to smell wonderful and each scent is related to one of the 4 houses. The packaging and bottles are beautiful.
I felt like it was a good box and you can tell Peter put a lot of work into it. The downside is that it came on the heels of the Order and the Army Box which was arguably the best box to date.
I actually liked a lot of the items in the box! I thought the potion was stunning, the sword of Gryffindor pen was really cool, and I‘Ve always loved the chamber of secrets door so having a mini version is great!
The pen unscrews so you can change the inside when it runs out of ink. Put it back together and then just simply pull off the end and you can use it as a pen
Thanks for being honest Cherry! I live in SouthEast Asia and the box was really expensive with shipping, and I wasn't that excited while opening the box, which was a pity
I absolutely love this box. It was very thought out I believe. Idk how so many people were confused with the pen. The cap just pops off like so many other pens. 😂 The cap has a hole just like many pens with caps in case a baby or child swallowed it, there is an air hole for them to breathe. I have so many favorites with this box. I hope he does another. Well worth the price to me.
I think the money bank is the only thing I liked. I figured since he was in collaboration, the items would be amazing, but, although I absolutely love Peter, it missed the mark for me
I felt the same. Every item was neither useful to me nor particularly aesthetically appealing, which is absolutely a personal preference but I am not getting the next one for sure.
I’d love to see a Peter and Cherry collab some day!! I watched Peter Kenneth open his Keep Collecting Box and he was so proud of the ideas, such a shame about the pen and that missing pin as it is a really nice pin!! I love seeing them both support each other!! Makes my heart smile!! 💜💜💜😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰
I was kind of disappointed about the box. I really like Peter and his channel, and also the wizarding trunk had always such cool stuff inside their boxes, but this one wasn't that amazing what I thought it would be. Especially for this price.
This is how it's supposed to be actually. In the books the crest of Ravenclaw is an eagle. The producers changed it to a raven in the movies to avoid confusion. Just because the house is called Ravenclaw it doesn't mean that is should be represented by ravens. It was just the last name of it's founder, Rowena Ravenclaw. 🤷♀️
This was my first box from TWT and I love Peter’s channel, so was so excited to order this box. As I’m in Australia it was quite expensive. I was very disappointed in the box and definitely don’t think it was worth the money. I’m Gryffindor and I know one of the items they had planned for box arrived broken and they had to come up with something else ( the badge) not my favourite thing but did love the pen and had no issues with taking cap off. Wouldn’t purchase another box in the future
Hope you can fix your pin. I also took it apart before figuring out the end was actually a cap with a HOLE in it! And hope you get a replacement “headmaster” pin.
The Special Service to the School pin was a reference, I believe, to the one mentioned in Chamber of Secrets that Tom Riddle was given. It is where Ron saw Tom Riddle's name!
I honestly don't understand why people were confused about how to take a cap off a pen. I got mine took it out of the package and pulled the cap off like most pens work. It really amazed me to see the amount of people who couldn't figure it out.
The fact that so many people had an issue, shows there’s a design flaw and problem. The fact they had to send an email out to everyone proves that. I tried to pull the cap off, and it didn’t come off.
I also tried to pull off the cap first, but there are a lot if opens in subscription boxes that do twist pens so i understand people being confused. The hole in the tip is also misleading since it could lead to people thinking the tip twists out of it. Not everyone is familiar with the capped pens that have a hole at the tip of the cap (which is there to allow air to pass in the event the cap accidentally gets swallowed to prevent full air obstruction)
Not all pens come with lids that just pop off by pulling, some are twisted to reveal the pen. Which I believe is what Cherry was suggesting. It wasn’t clear, it was a design flaw. If a company has to send out socials about an item before and after it’s released says a lot. That’s not on Peter though, all this feed back from us all, including Cherry, it’s just a lesson learned for next time.
To be fair, many people seem to have had a similar issue since the company had to send out emails about it, so it's clearly an error on the pen itself. And Cherry's pen was also defective, it seems, since it broke entirely when she tried to unscrew it (something it should have been fine doing since it's refillable).
Hi Cherry! Love your videos and no matter if I agree or not, I always appreciate your honest opinion… 👏❤️ I wanted to mention that I also ordered a keep collecting box (I like all the items ❤️) and when I opened it, I was also a bit confused about how work the pen 😩… it was only when I checked an email The Wizardry Trunk sent with the sort of spoiler of the pen that i could see I had to actually PULL (not rotate or press anything 🙈) the tip of the sword… just wanted to let you know just in case you are able to put it back together or get another one 👍😘
Unfortunately, the box was a big flop for me. I'm only keeping the potion and the schedule. Still haven't been able to open the pen despite heavy pulling on the cap. Everything else was just "meh." Don't know what I'm supposed to do with supersized gloves. If they were actual, usable gardening gloves, now that would have been cool! The piggy bank was low quality. The pins and award didn't appeal to me design-wise. Just didn't feel this box. I know a lot of thought went into it, but this one wasn't for me. Too bad it was so expensive. Not gonna get another one.
@michmir12345 I agree with you. I will not get another one. For me it was juvenile type items. Not for adults as much. Those metal balls were a big no for me. Why didn’t they include a unique special wand??? THAT would’ve been worth the entire box.
I have been waiting for this video! ♥I'm a really big fan of Peter and ordered this box as soon as the sale started in autumn. When I finally got it last week..I was super disappointed and as I read your comment section and Peter's, looks like I'm not the only one. As I have seen Peter open so many subscription boxes I had such a high hopes. I was expecting more practical items. I didnt understand how the pen works either. I dont know is it "European problem" or something? :D The greeting cards were cool.. But then my The award for special services, the words werent even on the same line so really bad quality. I hated the gloves but I'm happy that you liked them! Ofc this box doesnt change my opinion about anyone or anything and I'm really proud of both of you and Peter! ♥
While i do agree with Cherry that having the hole gave the impression that it would be a twist pen...just so everyone knows...if there is a hole in the end of the cap of a pen, it is most likely put there as a safety precaution against it being a choking hazard. The hole allows some air to pass in case it were to become lodged in the air passage.
Cherry, your boxes were incredible! That’s why I bought Peter’s, but it was nothing like yours… Any chance you’ll make more? I loved all the replicas and your Art! 🤞🏻🥰🤞🏻
I think the lid of the pen just pulls off, not screw off. Also, the pin looks like a portrait of Dumbledore but it’s actually Peter Kenneth dressed in his Head Master (Dumbledore) costume. I highly recommend you watch Peter’s unboxing video of this box as he explains everything well (obviously).
Thank you for being fairly honest! Most people only say amazing things about collab products and to be honest in my opinion this was a big bust 😔 i hate saying that because i love his channel
Look, I’m not here to suck up to people - even people I respect (I like Peter and his channel, and love TWT). I admire the effort that goes into making these boxes, but I’m here to always give my honest opinions and review.
why do I feel like a cleaning shelf video is what we need even if it’s Time-lapsed!! also being the bad witch I am “I predict a life and lies of Dumbledore soon to make it to the shelf” or so my divination ball shows 💚🔮😉
Thank you for your videos Cherry! I really enjoy them and love how honest you are with your reviews. My favorite things were the baoding balls and the greeting cards haha I'm just happy when I see Ravenclaw with the right colors and the eagle. It's not my house but it makes me happy for the Ravenclaws hehe
From other unboxing videos I watched, for the sword pen you had to pull the cap off, not twist it off. It confused a lot of people. Which is unfortunate
Not as impressed with this box as I have been with their others. Honestly didn’t really like most of the items. I’d have to see future boxes from this collection to see if they are worth the money.
You may already know but this was a collaboration with another you tuber. Peter Kenneth from the potter collector. He basically curated the box so this was not The Wizarding trunk exclusively.
I literally had the same reactions to everything in the box as you did! Haha I was as confused about the pen as you but eventually figured it out. Not a bad box but not my favorite either.
I was also disappointed by the box. I am a Ravenpuff (lol) and I felt Hufflepuffs items were a let down. I did like Ravenclaws. I didn't see the hole in the bottom for the pen, so I just pulled the cap off. My family, though, was also hit with the Confundus charm!! The pin you didn't get is just peter dressed as Dumbledore which, I do like Peter and the potter collector channel, I felt was a little narcissistic. All in all I liked maybe 3 of the items, which for the amount paid for the box is disappointing. P.S. I have never noticed, but I was watching with my family and they were distracted by your hair touching!! I never noticed or paid attention, but once they said I couldn't stop seeing it!! Lol.
The picture of him was not his idea but Wizarding Trunks. When Peter had that picture taken Daniel at Wizarding Truck told him he wanted to use it some day in the box and Peter agreed
Peter explained about the headmaster pin; it wasn't his idea; it was the Wizarding trunk idea, and it was a picture Peter took when he attended a cosplay event.
I agree, the Hufflepuff items weren’t representative of our house, and it made this Hufflepuff sad. The bank was poorly painted, the “award” was chipped, and the box was just a flop for me. Danny’s items were great as always, but the box was way overpriced for what was included. Glad I wasn’t the only one disappointed by this one.
I know the pin was a picture Peter took awhile ago and it was Danny's idea to do it as a pin. However, I would feel odd putting that in a box I helped curate. I would feel it was a bit boastful. That's all I'm saying. I am also glad someone else felt this box didn't live up to expectations. I'm personally glad I didn't get it for Christmas. I would have been more upset I think.
I have a pair of baoding balls that I picked up years ago in the Chinese district near here. Mine have chimes in them which make noise to relax you even more.
I didn’t order this since I couldn’t afford it at the moment, but I honestly wouldn’t care to get school passes. I liked the chambers bank and the cards. The dragon hide gloves are cool but won’t use them for anything and i like things I can use. Sorry you’re pen broke but it is very beautiful. The headmaster pin is of Peter dressed as Dumbledore and I really liked that pin when he showed it on his video. Keep Collecting!
I have seen that many people struggled with the pen. I would have probably too if I had gotten the box ( unfortunately I couldn't afford it. But to my understanding it is just a pull off cap. Maybe they should have included how to open it in the packaging. Still this was a strong box and really wish I could have afforded it.
At my school we have hall passes but we never use them we just ask and go pretty much , we are supposed to sign out and sign back in to but we usually just sign out then forget to sigh back in when we get back 😂
I broke my pen too! I was disappointed in this box. As a Gryffindore I wasn’t impressed with the house items and, from the comments, I see other houses were disappointed as well🙁!
In my opinion, the cards are the best items...and the potion. Those gloves are HUGE (but I have cartoonishly tiny hands). I also feel they are too shiny which makes them look like cheap pleather...just my honest opinion
You should watch Peter's video on the box. Anywho loved the video can't wait to see your video of your room. Thank you for putting a smile on my face, even when I'm gloomy I know your videos will brighten up my day. Love from Vermont in the USA 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😃😆
@@beth_m The box was $89.98 USD (including shipping.) I did receive Peters headmaster pin. The sword pen worked for me. The tip came off pretty easy. It’s $25 more than the regular bi-monthly subscription of $64.98 (including shipping.) It was way overpriced in my opinion. I wish a unique wand was included in this box instead of the gloves. I’m not a pin collector and this box had 2. I was very disappointed in this “special” collectors box.
Late to the party, but I appreciate the honesty on opening the box. Some of the items aren't really going to be everyone's cup of tea, and there's nothing wrong with not loving everything in the box. I mean, just based off my first impressions of the items, many of them are nice, but not particularly useful for everyone, like the award and the paper replicas, some are confusing without explanation (the pen and the bludgers), and some just don't particularly read Harry Potter on their own, like the crest pin (since it's more of an original design) and the gloves (if you remove the tag, there's nothing that reads as 'dragon hide' on their own). Overall, I personally only liked 3-4 items out of the 10 provided, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Peter is great and my comment on his collection is not reflective of him. Unfortunately this box is very underwhelming. The cards are very cool the potion is pretty, but everything else is is meh sadly.
I'm going to assume the service award being put with Slytherin is supposed to be a nod towards Tom Riddles service award. If boxes ever go back to doing the School Year boxes, I think a cute one for Year 2 would be his service award with the slugs Ron kept puking up on it.
I always want your honest opinion Cherry. I got the box, and because I have to buy in Australian dollars it cost over $100. I was a bit disappointed unfortunately.
I watch the potter collector channel sometimes and enjoy a lot of his content, but for me this box was a bit of a miss and I was glad I didn’t order it. The gloves were a good concept, but looked massive and probably could have been better executed. I like the design of the pen but as you say, it’s a pen and shouldn’t be that hard to figure out. The coin box looked great. The paper replicas were ok - I did find the use of the term school board jarring, as there certainly isn’t a school board for Hogwarts. Baoding balls looked nice, but not sure if I would use them, and hard to determine how good they would be as baoding balls without holding them. I’ve seen another video with both pins - not really to my taste, either of them. Overall - ok, not great.
There was a board of governor's at hogwarts, lucius malfoy was one ots how he got dumbldore removed during chamber of secrets, school board is probably the American version to the British board of governors samething different wording :)
That was a nice box. not perfect but some nice items! the potion, the balls, the cards...etc. the pen was a shame :/ did you check in the gloves for the missing pin? I would have love to see it! thank you for this great video!
I like the idea of this box. Maybe the hall pass could come from the American magical school. I think Peter did a great attempt I would just display the pen
What I didn't like the most about this box was the Americanisms: 'Hall pass', 'schedule', 'school board' the British terms for these things are used in the books and films so no excuse really. I pointed this out to Peter and his response was that he just didn't think about it.
I’m Canadian so not applicable to me, but I do know that in the USA the books were actually released with a special version - ex, the title of book 1 is Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone. So it is possible that some of the American terms instead of British ones are used in the books as well, though I doubt school board is, schedule might be
This bothered me so much. I could maybe understand someone new to HP assume things like this, but now it just looks like he didn't do any research or "fact-checking." A rookie mistake from someone who I thought should knows this stuff.
The pen is what people have gotten confused over the most, if I remember from another video it was a pull top pen, it was a bad design on his part to not make it a swivel top. In my opinion I was not a fan of the potter collector's box and I'm glad I didn't spend money on it but I did like the paper products the most.
Always love your honest reviews. I agree, I know Peter Kenneth worked hard on this and I applaud him on his efforts, but this particular box I wasn't really feeling.
One of my biggest issues with this box was except for a few items I couldn’t tell what each item represented. I had no idea what the hufflepuff items were until I read they cheat sheet and they didn’t hit the mark for representing hufflepuff for me. My Hufflepuff daughter felt the same. Overall I liked the box but didn’t feel I’d have been disappointed if I hadn’t bought it. My friend who saw the box loves it though so maybe I’m just never happy.
Just a note to say: I'll always give my honest opinion and reviews here, regardless of who has made something. I review subscription boxes, it's part of the job to be honest and discuss things pragmatically.
Also just because a lot of the items in this box didn't totally rock my socks, doesn't reflect on my thoughts on Peter. He's great, and you won't find a better Harry Potter Book / authentic signature expert than him, genuinely. I also admire the effort that goes into designing these boxes, it's hard work I'll never deny that.
I understand that TWT sent out an email and social posts about the pen but my comment still stands, a pen shouldn't be confusing on how it functions, and it was (which is a shame because it looked like a freakin' GRYFFINDOR SWORD!)

I got mine yesterday and was very disappointed sadly. The gloves where terrible. And paper replicas are cheap.
I suggest you contact Peter (The Potter Collector) about the pen and the missing pin. I'm sure he'll get replacements to you.
Hi Cherry, I've seen Danny's Unboxing video and he teach to unplug the sword pen by pulling out the head cap, it is hard to pull out at first time
I agree. I totally enjoy watching Peter Kenneth but I was very, very disappointed with the box.
How fun was that?! Thank you for opening The Keep Collecting Box! 💚 I'll be sure that an owl is sent with the headmaster pin and a new pen for you. Every lion should own that pen.

I honestly don't understand why people were confused about how to take a cap off a pen. I got mine took it out of the package and pulled the cap off like most pens work. It really amazed me to see the amount of people who couldn't figure it out.
The fact that so many people had an issue, shows there’s a design flaw and problem. The fact they had to send an email out to everyone proves that. I tried to pull the cap off, and it didn’t come off.
I also tried to pull off the cap first, but there are a lot if opens in subscription boxes that do twist pens so i understand people being confused. The hole in the tip is also misleading since it could lead to people thinking the tip twists out of it. Not everyone is familiar with the capped pens that have a hole at the tip of the cap (which is there to allow air to pass in the event the cap accidentally gets swallowed to prevent full air obstruction)
Not all pens come with lids that just pop off by pulling, some are twisted to reveal the pen. Which I believe is what Cherry was suggesting. It wasn’t clear, it was a design flaw. If a company has to send out socials about an item before and after it’s released says a lot. That’s not on Peter though, all this feed back from us all, including Cherry, it’s just a lesson learned for next time.
Haha I was just leaving a comment with basically the same thing.
To be fair, many people seem to have had a similar issue since the company had to send out emails about it, so it's clearly an error on the pen itself. And Cherry's pen was also defective, it seems, since it broke entirely when she tried to unscrew it (something it should have been fine doing since it's refillable).
Hi Cherry! Love your videos and no matter if I agree or not, I always appreciate your honest opinion… 👏❤️
I wanted to mention that I also ordered a keep collecting box (I like all the items ❤️) and when I opened it, I was also a bit confused about how work the pen 😩… it was only when I checked an email The Wizardry Trunk sent with the sort of spoiler of the pen that i could see I had to actually PULL (not rotate or press anything 🙈) the tip of the sword… just wanted to let you know just in case you are able to put it back together or get another one 👍😘
Not sure why so many people were so confused about the pen. I just pulled the cap and it came right off.
Unfortunately, the box was a big flop for me. I'm only keeping the potion and the schedule. Still haven't been able to open the pen despite heavy pulling on the cap. Everything else was just "meh." Don't know what I'm supposed to do with supersized gloves. If they were actual, usable gardening gloves, now that would have been cool! The piggy bank was low quality. The pins and award didn't appeal to me design-wise. Just didn't feel this box. I know a lot of thought went into it, but this one wasn't for me. Too bad it was so expensive. Not gonna get another one.
@michmir12345 I agree with you. I will not get another one.
For me it was juvenile type items. Not for adults as much. Those metal balls were a big no for me. Why didn’t they include a unique special wand??? THAT would’ve been worth the entire box.
I agree. Those gloves are terrible they were even too big for my husband. And the paper replicas are a big waste for me.
I have been waiting for this video! ♥I'm a really big fan of Peter and ordered this box as soon as the sale started in autumn. When I finally got it last week..I was super disappointed and as I read your comment section and Peter's, looks like I'm not the only one. As I have seen Peter open so many subscription boxes I had such a high hopes. I was expecting more practical items. I didnt understand how the pen works either. I dont know is it "European problem" or something? :D The greeting cards were cool.. But then my The award for special services, the words werent even on the same line so really bad quality. I hated the gloves but I'm happy that you liked them! Ofc this box doesnt change my opinion about anyone or anything and I'm really proud of both of you and Peter! ♥
“Am I being a donut…or” has gotta be the quote of the day 😂
Yeah you’re just supposed to pull the cap off the pen… I feel like that’s what you do with most pens but maybe this one looks confusing
While i do agree with Cherry that having the hole gave the impression that it would be a twist pen...just so everyone knows...if there is a hole in the end of the cap of a pen, it is most likely put there as a safety precaution against it being a choking hazard. The hole allows some air to pass in case it were to become lodged in the air passage.
Meditation balls are awesome !!!! I love the ones that make chimes cause the skill is learning to not make them chime 🥰! Have to explore that for sure
Cherry, your boxes were incredible! That’s why I bought Peter’s, but it was nothing like yours… Any chance you’ll make more? I loved all the replicas and your Art! 🤞🏻🥰🤞🏻
The award for special services to the school is made out of wood! Peter discussed it in his behind the scenes video :)
I think the lid of the pen just pulls off, not screw off. Also, the pin looks like a portrait of Dumbledore but it’s actually Peter Kenneth dressed in his Head Master (Dumbledore) costume. I highly recommend you watch Peter’s unboxing video of this box as he explains everything well (obviously).
In the 90's we called them chime balls. I always liked that they reminded me of David Bowie/Jareth
This was a nice, well thought out box. The only item I would actually like to get was the money bank. Really cool idea.
I must admit, I thought the box was disappointing, especially for the price. TWT usually comes out with much nicer produts.
Thank you for being fairly honest! Most people only say amazing things about collab products and to be honest in my opinion this was a big bust 😔 i hate saying that because i love his channel
I bought the box, and it was definitely a flop. Most of my items were damaged or poorly made, and it was very overpriced for what you get.
Look, I’m not here to suck up to people - even people I respect (I like Peter and his channel, and love TWT). I admire the effort that goes into making these boxes, but I’m here to always give my honest opinions and review.
why do I feel like a cleaning shelf video is what we need even if it’s Time-lapsed!! also being the bad witch I am “I predict a life and lies of Dumbledore soon to make it to the shelf” or so my divination ball shows 💚🔮😉
Thank you for your videos Cherry! I really enjoy them and love how honest you are with your reviews. My favorite things were the baoding balls and the greeting cards haha I'm just happy when I see Ravenclaw with the right colors and the eagle. It's not my house but it makes me happy for the Ravenclaws hehe
The end of the pen just pops off! It’s the cone shaped end!
From other unboxing videos I watched, for the sword pen you had to pull the cap off, not twist it off. It confused a lot of people. Which is unfortunate
Thanks for the info, I hadn’t figured out how to use it yet lol
Not as impressed with this box as I have been with their others. Honestly didn’t really like most of the items. I’d have to see future boxes from this collection to see if they are worth the money.
You may already know but this was a collaboration with another you tuber. Peter Kenneth from the potter collector. He basically curated the box so this was not The Wizarding trunk exclusively.
I literally had the same reactions to everything in the box as you did! Haha I was as confused about the pen as you but eventually figured it out. Not a bad box but not my favorite either.
I was also disappointed by the box. I am a Ravenpuff (lol) and I felt Hufflepuffs items were a let down. I did like Ravenclaws. I didn't see the hole in the bottom for the pen, so I just pulled the cap off. My family, though, was also hit with the Confundus charm!! The pin you didn't get is just peter dressed as Dumbledore which, I do like Peter and the potter collector channel, I felt was a little narcissistic. All in all I liked maybe 3 of the items, which for the amount paid for the box is disappointing.
P.S. I have never noticed, but I was watching with my family and they were distracted by your hair touching!! I never noticed or paid attention, but once they said I couldn't stop seeing it!! Lol.
The picture of him was not his idea but Wizarding Trunks. When Peter had that picture taken Daniel at Wizarding Truck told him he wanted to use it some day in the box and Peter agreed
Peter explained about the headmaster pin; it wasn't his idea; it was the Wizarding trunk idea, and it was a picture Peter took when he attended a cosplay event.
I agree, the Hufflepuff items weren’t representative of our house, and it made this Hufflepuff sad. The bank was poorly painted, the “award” was chipped, and the box was just a flop for me. Danny’s items were great as always, but the box was way overpriced for what was included. Glad I wasn’t the only one disappointed by this one.
I know the pin was a picture Peter took awhile ago and it was Danny's idea to do it as a pin. However, I would feel odd putting that in a box I helped curate. I would feel it was a bit boastful. That's all I'm saying. I am also glad someone else felt this box didn't live up to expectations. I'm personally glad I didn't get it for Christmas. I would have been more upset I think.
Well Peter wasn't being a narcissist about it. That is what I was pointing out. It is Wizarding Trunks to put it in
I'm loving the Wednesday Adam look today.
That pin is amazing
yeah ppl who have a lot of anxiety use those balls a lot i use em a lot just gives me something else to focus on than the anxiety xx
Brilliant box!
I have a pair of baoding balls that I picked up years ago in the Chinese district near here. Mine have chimes in them which make noise to relax you even more.
Not a bad box at all but I wasn’t on the edge of my seat excited to see the next item x
Every day with a new video of cherry makes sense. Periodt.👑
i loved the class schedule and the library card from the box
Ah the boading balls (chinese stress balls) you rotate them both in one hand, my mam used to have some about 20yrs ago, interesting design!
This was very underwhelming coming from Peter I have to say. I was disappointed. I was waiting for the day to see your thoughts!
Love to see a Cherry inspired wizarding truck as well :)
I didn’t order this since I couldn’t afford it at the moment, but I honestly wouldn’t care to get school passes. I liked the chambers bank and the cards. The dragon hide gloves are cool but won’t use them for anything and i like things I can use. Sorry you’re pen broke but it is very beautiful. The headmaster pin is of Peter dressed as Dumbledore and I really liked that pin when he showed it on his video. Keep Collecting!
I have seen that many people struggled with the pen. I would have probably too if I had gotten the box ( unfortunately I couldn't afford it. But to my understanding it is just a pull off cap. Maybe they should have included how to open it in the packaging. Still this was a strong box and really wish I could have afforded it.
Btw the headmaster thing was item 6! I love your vids thet always make me smile ☺︎︎ hope you all have a good day/night! Bye
I think you should do a video where you DM all the Harry Potter cast and see if any of them respond to your DM
Time turner !!!!! You are wearing time turner Yesss love it ❤❤
I’ve been waiting for so long for someone to post an unboxing of this box can’t wait!
At my school we have hall passes but we never use them we just ask and go pretty much , we are supposed to sign out and sign back in to but we usually just sign out then forget to sigh back in when we get back 😂
Yesss I have been waiting for this review!!
Every time I hear ‘Hello witches wizard and muggles’It makes my day
Quality content Cherry, as usual, 10 points to Gryffindor would be awarded.
(;
I broke my pen too!
I was disappointed in this box. As a Gryffindore I wasn’t impressed with the house items and, from the comments, I see other houses were disappointed as well🙁!
In my opinion, the cards are the best items...and the potion. Those gloves are HUGE (but I have cartoonishly tiny hands). I also feel they are too shiny which makes them look like cheap pleather...just my honest opinion
Absolutely loved the unboxing videos recently! This one especially! When will you do a video on your pin collection?? xxx
Time-turner is back! Time travel parodox, tho. ⏳
You should watch Peter's video on the box. Anywho loved the video can't wait to see your video of your room. Thank you for putting a smile on my face, even when I'm gloomy I know your videos will brighten up my day. Love from Vermont in the USA 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😃😆
Hopefully watching this is gonna give me a little magic to have luck to get a snow day tomorrow :)
I got this box and wasn’t that impressed actually. For how expensive it was... for me it was a let down.
I agree :(
For the price of it I think it was really disappointing…
If you don’t mind me asking, how much is it?
Also, did you end up having a workable pen and get the headmaster pin?
@@beth_m The box was $89.98 USD (including shipping.)
I did receive Peters headmaster pin. The sword pen worked for me. The tip came off pretty easy.
It’s $25 more than the regular bi-monthly subscription of $64.98 (including shipping.)
It was way overpriced in my opinion. I wish a unique wand was included in this box instead of the gloves. I’m not a pin collector and this box had 2.
I was very disappointed in this “special” collectors box.
Late to the party, but I appreciate the honesty on opening the box. Some of the items aren't really going to be everyone's cup of tea, and there's nothing wrong with not loving everything in the box. I mean, just based off my first impressions of the items, many of them are nice, but not particularly useful for everyone, like the award and the paper replicas, some are confusing without explanation (the pen and the bludgers), and some just don't particularly read Harry Potter on their own, like the crest pin (since it's more of an original design) and the gloves (if you remove the tag, there's nothing that reads as 'dragon hide' on their own). Overall, I personally only liked 3-4 items out of the 10 provided, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Peter is great and my comment on his collection is not reflective of him. Unfortunately this box is very underwhelming. The cards are very cool the potion is pretty, but everything else is is meh sadly.
You need a hall pass at my daughter school here in Essex. Ridiculous school kids end up just walking out of class so they don't have an accident. 😞
Gloves were my favorite and paper replicas!
I think the keep collecting box is crap compared to the other boxes from the same place
I'm going to assume the service award being put with Slytherin is supposed to be a nod towards Tom Riddles service award.
If boxes ever go back to doing the School Year boxes, I think a cute one for Year 2 would be his service award with the slugs Ron kept puking up on it.
I always want your honest opinion Cherry. I got the box, and because I have to buy in Australian dollars it cost over $100. I was a bit disappointed unfortunately.
Oh no... I was looking forward to you seeing the Headmasters pin. I didn't get the box, but I chuckled when I saw this in Peters's video. :D
YAY! SHE HAS HER TIME TURNER ON!!!! LOVE IT
I watch the potter collector channel sometimes and enjoy a lot of his content, but for me this box was a bit of a miss and I was glad I didn’t order it. The gloves were a good concept, but looked massive and probably could have been better executed. I like the design of the pen but as you say, it’s a pen and shouldn’t be that hard to figure out. The coin box looked great. The paper replicas were ok - I did find the use of the term school board jarring, as there certainly isn’t a school board for Hogwarts. Baoding balls looked nice, but not sure if I would use them, and hard to determine how good they would be as baoding balls without holding them. I’ve seen another video with both pins - not really to my taste, either of them. Overall - ok, not great.
Same. I just found it very expensive
There was a board of governor's at hogwarts, lucius malfoy was one ots how he got dumbldore removed during chamber of secrets, school board is probably the American version to the British board of governors samething different wording :)
That was a nice box. not perfect but some nice items! the potion, the balls, the cards...etc. the pen was a shame :/ did you check in the gloves for the missing pin? I would have love to see it! thank you for this great video!
I like the idea of this box. Maybe the hall pass could come from the American magical school. I think Peter did a great attempt I would just display the pen
I love everything about this. I do wish you got that bonus pin so we could've seen what that was like :)
What I didn't like the most about this box was the Americanisms: 'Hall pass', 'schedule', 'school board' the British terms for these things are used in the books and films so no excuse really. I pointed this out to Peter and his response was that he just didn't think about it.
I’m Canadian so not applicable to me, but I do know that in the USA the books were actually released with a special version - ex, the title of book 1 is Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone. So it is possible that some of the American terms instead of British ones are used in the books as well, though I doubt school board is, schedule might be
This bothered me so much. I could maybe understand someone new to HP assume things like this, but now it just looks like he didn't do any research or "fact-checking." A rookie mistake from someone who I thought should knows this stuff.
Glad someone mentioned this!!! Americanisms are quite off-putting when it comes to all things HP.
@@Lexi-1234 good point!
The pigtails and baby blue top are giving me a serious Dorothy Gayle vibe.
i would love to see that headmaater’s pin lol but as a 🤎ravenclaw💙 i can tell yall that i really like that potionnnnn
The pen is what people have gotten confused over the most, if I remember from another video it was a pull top pen, it was a bad design on his part to not make it a swivel top. In my opinion I was not a fan of the potter collector's box and I'm glad I didn't spend money on it but I did like the paper products the most.
A lot of people had problem getting the pen to work. The point of the pen pulls of rather than screw off
That award for services thing is definitely a reference to Tom Riddle in the chamber of secrets.
in chamber of secrets, tom riddle wins one of those service plaques. i think it was supposed to resemble that
Always love your honest reviews. I agree, I know Peter Kenneth worked hard on this and I applaud him on his efforts, but this particular box I wasn't really feeling.
Oh absolutely, I do not doubt the amount of work that goes into the making of these boxes.
One of my biggest issues with this box was except for a few items I couldn’t tell what each item represented. I had no idea what the hufflepuff items were until I read they cheat sheet and they didn’t hit the mark for representing hufflepuff for me. My Hufflepuff daughter felt the same. Overall I liked the box but didn’t feel I’d have been disappointed if I hadn’t bought it. My friend who saw the box loves it though so maybe I’m just never happy.
