I grew up reading the books, and still try to read them once per year if I can. I've always preferred the books over the films; still, until i was a grown man, i failed to remember how much meaner Snape was in the books. Reading it all troughout the seven still makes you think if he ever managed to redeem himself. So, the films definitely give a much less dark portrait of him.
I couldn't believe how much darker he is in PoA. I completely understand the disdain that so many others have for him. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with him in the other books. Thanks for watching.
I don't think you broke the piece. I purchased the same statue and mine came broken too. If you watch your video, when you opened the outer brown ironstudios box, it's the small plastic container that was sitting on top of the official white statue box that you took out and set aside. It was in a separate small plastic container that wasn't even included in the box with the statue. It was added to the brown shipping box along with the official statue box. They were two separate items placed into the shipping box. It broke because of their poor packaging. I contacted Iron Studios a while back and the best they would do for me was for me was to package it all back up and ship the whole thing back as a return and for them to send me another complete statue. Considering that they would just package the statue up the exact same way the second time I didn't see the point. That piece would just get broken again. After this experience with Iron Studios, I'm afraid to ever purchase from them again, because just like you it's the first time I've actually had to contact them about a problem with anything. I also didn't understand why they insisted on me sending the whole thing back if they have the separate piece lying around in their warehouse to be stuck in a shipping box. Why couldn't they just ship out the single piece to me if it didn't require them to even open a new white statue box? I've seen another unboxing of this statue on RU-vid that had the exact same piece arrive broken, for the exact same reason. The statue is still really nice without the piece, but folks considering dishing out this kind of money should be warned that it is a huge possibility that the piece will most likely arrive broken.
I'll have to go back and watch that part of the video because I didn't catch that during editing. I will say, though, as I guy who has purchased the entire Harry Potter Iron Studios collection, this is a one-off. Iron Studios typically goes above and beyond when it comes to their packaging. I'm still waiting on a response from them regarding how to resolve this, but I'm hoping it doesn't involve sending the whole thing back. That seems extremely ridiculous and a waste of shipping. I'll update this post once things have been resolved. Thanks for watching.
It's totally worth it. I know they are currently sold out of the deluxe version, but they restock from time to time, so just be on the lookout. Thanks for watching.
Gorgeous statue! They really nailed Hermione’s face and I find a lot of the time that is something that is just a little off with most figurines. Sorry about the little mishap, hopefully it can be replaced.
I completely agree. I think they did a better job of capturing Hermione's likeness than any other statue I have of her...including Gentle Giant. Thanks for watching.
Trust me, I tried. It's fixed the best I could get it for the closeups, but my hands don't do well when it comes to such tiny pieces. Fingers crossed I have better luck with IS. Thanks for watching.
Unfortunately, it happens from time to time when you're dealing with such delicate pieces. Hopefully, IS will send me a replacement piece and it arrives in tact. Thanks for watching.
This box actually ROCKS!!!! There isn't anything in the box that I don't like they're all my favorites and that's something I've never said that about it about any subscription box!!!!
I completely understand. TWT has set the bar pretty high in the world of subscription boxes. They continue to make me smile and surprise me with unique items with each and every box. Thanks for watching.
I LOVE the boggart! It's one of the best HP subscription items I've ever received. This box on the whole is my now overall favorite! I can't wait to see what comes next from The Wizarding Trunk! Great video, btw :) P.S. Don't forget to look at the bottom of the bag - cheers!
It is a pretty fantastic box, but TWT has gotten so good that I expect nothing, but amazing from them now. Thanks for the tip. BOTTOMS UP 😂 Thanks for watching.
Also heads up the nemesis now just drop a dark art collections your going to love ck it out . If you can't find it Victoria Mclean just did a video on it .
Already having fun with this box. The marked deck for tricks ( or a poker game against my husband… really want to win enough for a few more decor pieces, bwa ha ha) is such a great idea. Immediatly thought of your other purchase when saw the clown! And my kids were using the coin as a truth or dare game piece last night. Really good box that has me wanting to decorate for Halloween already.
Excellent video I absolutely love this box especially the bogart clown he’s awesome he’s my favorite piece , then the potion, and candy .Your son’s adorable as always .Looking forward to displaying it and seeing how you display yours.😊
I need to create a WW shelf and buy acrylic to finish my PoA shelf so I can properly display these items. I'm hoping to do both soon. There's only one thing Ceircin loves more than candy...his mom. Thanks for watching.
TWT has put out so many amazing boxes that I don't think I could possibly pick a favorite, but this is a great box. Clown for the win 🤡👍 Thanks for watching.
You are one of the few who was over the moon about the clown! Mine is staying in the closet. He looks too much like Pennywize. I loved the jac-o-lantern. And if someone does not have a decent bag on Halloween, they will get the candy bag!
I love that. When I'm walking around with my son I think I will take my bag with me and give it to the first kid I see that's dressed in HP attire. The clown is fantastic. I'd love to get all of the boggart transformations. Especially a spider in rollerskates. Thanks for watching.
Arthur's an individual artist with an extremely lengthy commission list. He's one of the most talented and reasonably priced artists I've come across, but you will need to message him to discuss pricing and availability. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video I loved everything in this box especially the tea bag strainer and the book ,I plan to add it to my dark shelf in the restricted area . I’m going to frame all the art work at some point it’s on my desk right now.Glad there going back to printed cheat sheet because I collect them .Your son is charming as always .
I have so many amazing items from TWT that are in desperate need of framing, so I completely understand. I need to start knocking them out one at a time because frames are so expensive. Thanks for watching.
Loved the apothecary and the book was amazing-must have taken so much time! I love the stickers for the apothecary and any extras (since you don’t want to use on potions) could be put on the water flask you got in a past box. The potion ingredients were fun for the apothecary and I like that more are to come. The common room prints are so cute and will look great all framed and put up as a collection together and you need to get all those maps framed! It will be interesting to see where they are going next since they are wrapping up the creature pages.
It was a spectacular box filled with many great items, but I agree, the book/box was easily the best item. With the creature pages coming to an end, if there's one thing TWT has shown us time and time again, I'm sure they will find something creative and amazing to replace them with. Thanks for watching.
Loved the book shelves. Certain stickers are for the box so I’m gonna wait till I get all the items before I place them so I know what goes where. The rest will go on my metal water bottle work in process with the creature stickers we got earlier. I loved this box as I needed more potion making materials, and we have the new potion subscription coming up. So you def need a new shelving unit for them! I also liked that we had useable items. And a full book?! Wow! My son loved the slug. And the second common room , 2 more to go. Can’t wait to put the full display up. The maps are all framed in my dining room now and get many compliments. Very cool box!
My thoughts exactly. Once I have all the items planned for the box, then I will figure out where to place the stickers. If there is one thing TWT is good at, it's keeping me on the hook 🤣 Thanks for watching.
Some of the stickers are for the book/box you recieved. Some are for vials that you make at home. Book/box is my favorite, mortar and pestule, chart and book!
Thankfully the cheat sheet explained that, but I even more excited for the additional items they are going to give us to fill the box. TWT has done it again. Thanks for watching.
