Strange how the advent calendar design itself is better than most of the items.

That seems to have been the case with lots of calendars this year. It’s like there are a cadre of brilliant box designers out there but someone forgot to order the contents…..

It’s the same with lots of advent calendars. Make it look good and expensive so people will buy it but actually it’s full of cheep, tacky, rubbish.

Fr like honestly id rather they just put everything in plain cardboard boxes and shift all the funds to item production. Thatd b so much better 😭😭 cuz lets be real who actually keeps the boxes from advent calendars after ?

For a company that creates such amazing replicas, they can't get their advant calendar right. It's sad that I'm not surprised, Cherry don't waste your money next year ❤. Amazing series though and thank you for all your hard work ❤

I love how cherry gets all of the expensive advent calendars so we don't have to ❤❤

Cherry, anyone making an Harry Potter themed advent calendar NEED you as quality control. I would purchase one if I knew you approved of all the presents!

I’m with you Cherry, it would be great if there was an actual HP Advent calendar for adults.. I feel all the calendars are aimed for the younger market…still love watching your 24 days of advent calendars x

I think the knight bus one is aimed at adults but… $150? Are you mental?

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.

Hmm, I probably won't buy this one again! 😅

So many disappointing calendars. I would be embarrassed to sell so much crap. Thanks for doing this, it really helps us parents with making a decision, and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into it.

Calendar feels like it should be worth £20 at most!

✨Deluxe Advent Calendar✨

This is why I like watching your channel, you’re honest and don’t act like everything is so wonderful and keepsake worthy. This should not be a deluxe calendar.

1 coaster and 1 straw?? For that price…. Im so thankful for Cherry’s honesty unlike others who pretend to like everything and never mention prices paid for these ridiculous advents. I will never understand how they can make so many beautiful replicas, but do so poorly on these As a parent if I spent this much on an advent for even my kid I’d be pissed and I know my kiddos would not be very impressed

Lmao I just came back from a convention and there were two stands that made gorgeous wood-burned coasters better than the one in that calendar. Not to mention, they could've made a set w/ different designs, considering how cheap that probably was!

I mean... As an adult, I LOVE a quality coaster. I have stoneware ones from Disneyland and Paris. But this one wouldn't hold up for more than a week. And it's hideous.

It felt like a $10 temu shopping spree. Thank you for opening this so others don't have to.

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

Bonus - The snitch bag is perfect for collecting all of the items being tossed in the bin! Keep the outer box, empty the individual boxes and refill them with actual "deluxe" Harry Potter surprises! 😁👍‼

Lmao that first part got me. I could see the bags easily convert to nice wall art, but they're still unimpressive.

Let's appreciate how much Cherry does for us to entertain us 🤩🔥💖

The straw could have had like a wand look …I’m glad that I haven’t gotten any calendars bc I wouldn’t like much of the things in these but I enjoy watching this series 😃 To me they could maybe make 12 days of Christmas keep the price the same but put more into those 12 items

I like the socks (both), gloves (design, but agree with you), the post it notes, the stickers, the magnet, the pin, the designs on the two bags, (but they even look cheap in video), I love the pen! 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.

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. ❤

I think the company that made this should have reminded themselves that this is a "Deluxe" Calendar.

LOVE YOUR HONESTY. When something is rubbish it should be acknowledged, I agree no deal for me lol

Oh, no hope we don't get a repeat of last year with the cling film

I appreciate your honesty SO MUCH!!! I watch so many unboxing videos from.otther Potter creators and you're by far the most direct and honest, in my book, makes you the most trustworthy

I enjoy Cherry being honest on the products ❤

I love this series sooooo much ❤

The design of the box is cute and some of the items are nice, kind of hit or miss, the straw is so disappointing - thank you for sharing! ❤

Next to last bag, use for stones or divination cards; bag with strap, use to collect small things when walking about; the first one is hopeless. Most of it was cheap.

I feel that it would be even better to do a 12 day advent calendar if it guarantees 12 proper gifts and not crappy things.

thank you for another magical calendar Cherry, I am watching this just for you as I would never buy myself such a calendar knowing how much it cost and what is the quality of all these products! like seriously, I love Harry Potter, I love books, I rewatch movies, I have my small collection but all those calendars are so cheap looking! like c'mon they can do so much better, anyway thanks for another video and see you in the next one ;)!

cherrys hair looked gorgeous in this video

I think you could use the drawstring pouch maybe to hold crystals or card decks.

I actually quite like this years deluxe calendar from Cinereplicas… mainly because I like little stationery bits and bobs and at heart I’m a big kid lol! I really love the little stickers, Ron Weasley socks and especially the Honeydukes sticky notes! Also, I thought that if I got the phone holder bag, I would cut the front design off (as it’s a nice design) and maybe pin it on something or frame it. Xx

I really love and appreciate how honest your videos are! I have watched another KZreadr open this particular calendar and he praised literally every single item, even the straw and balloon whereas I always thought exactly like you

Absolutely agree with the division in the end😅

The drawstring bag you could use to store your crystals cause it divanation themed

Use the bags to house tarot and oracle cards in them.

These videos are making my day!! Theyve become a part of my daily routine. I'll be so sad when this is over.

CHERRY!! I hope you are well! I am LIVING for the advent series!! Much love from Rhode Island ❤

“Its another weird sack” I lost it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The chocolate frog is amazing, but I'd have more fun buying the individual bits off ebay than paying the money for the whole thing. There's some weird stuff in there😆

I love the post it notes, small, but my favorite so far!

Cherry please review the standard one as well, I know itll probably flop but its so satisfying to watch ❤😂

As a mom, no way do I think that advent calendar is worth it. The box is beautiful. I wouldn't invest in this at all. Thank you for sharing your advent calendar vlogs. I love your vlogs❤🎄💚

At least they included crappy made bags to hold the crappy made items. 😅 I love that wand though!

I just watched your last year video of the standard cinereplica calendar 😂 it was put in upside down 😂 thank you for making this series cherry ✨

That one was painful to watch, I can only imagine having to make it 😅

Thank you, Cherry for doing an honest review all the time. I find that your reviews are always spot on. These calendars seem so cheap, the "gifts" that are in them are a total disappointment. Keep up the good work, we so appreciate you!

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.

I liked the pen, diadem pin, necklace, & socks.

I love this series. Every day I have something fun to look forward to. Thank you.

Also those random cloth baggies are good for holding tarot cards and runes

Okay!! Hahaha anyone else thought the yo-yo was a grinder? Hahaha that would have been nice!

for the phone holder, i'd cut and tie the bag after filling with detergent softener beads and place it in a drawer to give my sweaters a nice scent.

Thank you for all your honesty reviews ✨️♥️

Wow and that is not a great wow. Wonderful as always to see you back. It is great having a daily video. The calendar tbh I would be miffed if I paid €30 for this let alone the actual price. I think this calendar would be an ideal candidate for a “Can I make this better for less” kind of video I have seen about. This really was a duffer again. Always a pleasure to see you Cherry and never a chore, your videos are amazing ❤

The tote bags can be turned into pillowcases or decorative pillows instead of using them as cloth tote bags. ❤😂🎉😊

the ron sweater socks are so cool!!! but yeah i totally agree with u on what was good and what was not

i swear to god it always feels heart warming seeig u with new harry potter video..... legit ur amazing

I agree with you completely!

I appreciate so much that your item reviews are always so honest! As much as spoiling a calendar for yourself might not be as exciting... I like knowing when I'm going to get a single bobby pin in a day/door and if they have just slapped a themed sticker on something.

Here everyday for these amazing unboxings !!

That "phone holder" looks like the disposable bags we give to patients to hold their drains.

rewatching your reaction to the cinereplica advent calender 2022 has made me looking forward to watching your reaction to this year’s 😂

The design of the bigger box and the little ones were great but the items were heartbreaking😖

What a cute design and what a let down.. great video, thanks for showing us all these👍

Th best one maybe….the lock? I love that lock!

I think that, the foil balloon COULD be cute if it was in the shape of a floating candle. But it needs to be smaller and perhaps have 3 of them in one day.

I just can’t believe they create this and then say DELUXE and feel confident in selling it, knowing full well there are actual deluxe boxes on the market that kick it out of the park.

I agree. I remember this one from last year as well.

This calender is giving whiplash✨

I wonder if the companies ever look at these unboxing videos. It would be great market research

Cherry deserves 1 million subscribers!!! ❤❤

I wouldn’t ware the Aunt Petunia’s pudding bracelet either, but it would make a cute Christmas tree ornament.

that straw was...my last straw of hope

Thanks for your honest review, Cherry!

I think the standard cinereplica calendars had so much more for the reduced price. I'm with you every item.

Love the design of the calander tho!!

I would use those canvas bags as eco wrapping paper/gift bag

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 saw this and had just watched last year's Cinereplica Advent Calendar video of yours and thought, again? If I'd spent that much money on a HP Advent Calendar for myself or my nephew, I'd be really mad. Thank you for saying it, but so nicely.

I'm surprised they did so much work on the beautiful designs on the box and didn't use any of them on the products, like that coaster would have been way cuter if it had the Hedwig at the window or the Doby stocking. I really appreciate you reviewing these advent calendars, I would never waste my money on this

Cherry never disappoints and she is always a joy and I love her so much and you are the queen of magic and Harry Potter ❤

Thank you for making my day

The BirdieBots magnets is for use as a pageholder like a a placeholder for your book one magnets on one side then put the other magnet on the other side of the paper and it holds the page together from the rest of the book without damaging the book or just two magnets for the refrigerator

Guys, Let's get Cherry's Channel to 1M subscribers 🙋🏻‍♀️

Thank you for making my day i appreciate you so much and most sweetest person on earth ❤

Beautifully designed calendar! I dont think the contents justifies the price though! The small side bag design is cool! It might be nice if you're going to a festival, market, or somewhere that all you want is your phone and cash/card, I do wish it was a bit thicker though like you said! Loving the daily content by the way 😁💜

I totally agree with you. Also it looks like they left the item purchasing up to 2 different employees. 1 tried and 1 didn't. The employee that designed the box itself did a fantastic job. This advent calendar is a huge let down.

stunning

Love your honesty, if you don’t like it keep,saying it and I like that you say why you don’t like it. ❤

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! 😊❤️

That is sooo rightly advertised!So on brand and Soooo worth it!

Cherry you could make the tiny bag into a pillow I think it would looks so cute I also love all the wands and decorations and stuff from the shop Harry Potter studios

Sorry forgot to put this on I was meant to say in the background of your room in the shelf’s the way you have displayed everything is so beautiful and lovely and I can tell you have put a lot of care and love in to your shelf’s I’m also going to Harry Potter studios this year near Halloween I might see you there if not I would like to say hi I love your videos so much and you have really helped me with buying certain Harry Potter stuff as I’m the kind of person who loves high quality stuff based on how much money you payed I think the think in this calendar that was my favourite was the Ronald Weasley socks hope you have a great day / night

I almost feel like maybe the black pouch near the end could hold the stickers! There’s quite a few

I think the white bag is a book bag! I absolutely love that!

Put plastic inside the phone holder and make it into a hanging plant holder! Much cuter idea I think

That thin canvas bag, you could use it with your plant room or in the kitchen to store or display small tools. If you had some sort of plastic interior you could even plant something inside it, but that runs the risk of it eventually falling apart.
