THE AZKABOX: YEAR 4 | Cherry Wallis 

Hey - a little message to say... I'm sent these boxes to review as honestly as possible. I think if I 'absolutely loved' everything, I'd be doing y'all a major disservice. I'll always keep things as honest as possible for you. I'm not offended about the Gillyweed - it was just a playful joke, I love that item (It's on my potions shelf right now!). As for the egg... I personally didn't like it, and that's okay. I wasn't mean about the artist and / or factory who made it - I just thought it wasn't great, and had seen one exactly the same either in this box or another box before. That's all folks!

The bath chunks are literally what they say. It's just all the bath bombs that didn't stay as a ball, and fell apart, that someone decided to not waste and made the bath chunks out off. It's a great idea.

“No good sittin’ worryin’ abou’ it,” he said. “What’s comin’ will come, an’ we’ll meet it when it does.” - Rubeus Hagrid, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Should we leave you and the candle alone for a minute?! 😂

In Chapter 37 of Goblet of Fire, Hagrid and Harry are talking about the looming threat of Voldemort, now that they know he's back. Hagrid says, “No good sittin' worryin' abou' it," he said. "What's comin' will come, an' we'll meet it when it does.” ♥️

Maybe you could do a giveaway for the items you don’t want in subscription boxes! I know personally I would love to have any of those items 😊

That quote is probably my most favorite from Hagrid. It just gives me hope every time.

Cherry I love you and I love your honesty in all your box reviews. And with you as a inspiration of speaking your mind; girl, that gillyweed looks like other creations I have found as inspiration on pinterest from 2012 and 2015. Don't shade another artist for getting inspiration from someone else when you obviously done the same imho. Also it's limited options for what one can do to make it look recognizable. You are a great creative person and my fav youtuber, keep spreading your magic ✨

I can’t help feeling sorry for the person who made the egg. I’m sure they worked really hard

you know, I don't mind "bitchy" reviews, in fact I find them quite funny, but it did feel jarring coming from Cherry, who usually makes such an effort to stay positive. it got me thinking that I've never heard her criticise geekgear so harshly, and they've had their share of poor quality items in their box (which is why I canceled my subscription). I don't know if it's conscious or not, but I think since Cherry has her own boxes now, she's become a bit more biased in reviewing others and I don't think I'm liking it.

Now I actually agree with your thoughts on the egg, it wasn’t a well produced item for such a heavy priced box. But I only wish you didn’t call it “shiz”. I love and want your honesty, that’s why I go to you and am a subscriber. But that was definitely not something I ever thought I would hear you say, especially because you are a creator yourself. I just wish you could have thought about the creator of that and have put it more respectfully, rather than scrutinizing it so harshly. I still definitely agree with your thoughts on it, just wish you would have worded it differently...

I saw a review of this box earlier today at "Book Roast" channel and was super excited to see your review, but honestly I felt weird watching it. I love your content and I know you are always honest about the items and always give your honest opinion but this time it sounded a little rude. Hope you're well. I'm sure it wasn't intended.

I’m really sorry but am I the only one who is not ok with the way she spoke about the things she didn’t liked? And in my opinion it’s not ok to say publicly in a video that you think a company stole an idea from you. Yes, she made a DIY about it but there are also people who do not follow her and maybe want one. Yes, it is similar but that just means that people have the same idea of it. There are thousands of DIYs online - and I’ve never heard anyone brag as bad about an DIY as her.

Technically, the first one to do a Gillyweed tutorial here on RU-vid was ToniEllison anyways. ;D

It's like now that she's making her own box, she's acting snotty like an "over professional". Like she has more of a right to say whats good and what's bad about other subscription boxes.

People say her comments are mean because of her honesty,I was a fan of her for a loong time now, Times ago she used to review the same boxes , and the items that she didn't like were in those too .but never spotted a behaviour like that before. Weren't she honest before ? Did she like all the items before ?

I'm glad to hear your comment about bath products in boxes. Several boxes are doing them these days, and I hate getting them. Bath products are indeed something very personal, people have different skin, you can develop easily allergies to them. What the point in receiving a bath bomb when you don't own a bath tub, or if you are someone that's very mindful of the environment... :/ I think the Azkabox is kind of 50/50, they have some great items (the quill and the Rita jar are great), but others are total miss, and since it's a box on the pricey side, it's a but of a bummer.

Strange, not two months ago you were posting about kindness on your Instagram and yet in this video you're being so unkind. No one's asking you to like every item that comes out of the box, but there's a way to express yourself without being mean and unkind.

Interesting box....agree about there definitely being hits and misses. I value your honesty and would never say 'change that"....just remember that words can be damaging that's all. Keep spreading the magic 🙂

I love the Fred&George quote 😍😭 so sad and beautiful at the same time 🖤

"I'm not a big fan of baked goods, unless they are edible".😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂😅

I hope you are ok you didn’t seem yourself in this video just not as bubbly and kind, anyway I hope you are ok xx

Welcome back ya muggles... okay fine you're not a muggle. It's the AZKABOX... okay no... THE WIZARDING TRUNK YEAR 4! As per usual, I'd love to hear your thoughts down below, lets chat. Thanks for spending some time here today, xx.

Cherry in a mood today geez

Hey Cherry, just wanted to ask you: are you ok? You seemed pretty down in this video. But maybe it’s just me. Hope you’re fine, never forget how kind and magical you are❤️

That’s a super famous Hagrid quote. Probably his most famous after “you’re a wizard, harry”.

Other girls- I’ma genie in a bottle Me- iVe GoT a BeETLe IN a bOTtlE

Cherry you missed a reference there with the cheat sheet! It says "Report about cauldron thicknesses" (or something) and that's actually an essay/a report Percy Weasley has to write and hand in (it's the beginning of his ministry career)

hey cherry, I personally love it when u give ur honest reviews. I hope you don't feel down about the other comments. great vid! love u, Xxx

Anybody else think Cherry seems a little....off in this video....hmmmm I don’t know how I feel about her demeanor today

Dang, what's with the 'tude in this one? Maybe take a little filming break?? I usually really enjoy your unboxings, and I don't expect everything to be positive, but this video is the first one of yours that I've actually been unable to finish because of the negativity...

I think the Rita Skeeter beetle could look nicer too. Honestly it looks like something you get from a tube at the dollar store. Honestly I love Goblet of Fire and this box disappointed me.

Hagrid says that quote to Harry at the end of goblet of fire

Get all of your iron-on patches and get a old denim jacket from a charity shop or a bit of denim and iron them all on to it and hang it up I've done it in my room and it looks amazing p.s. cherry amazing outfit

so, i'm italian and i'm obsessed with harry potter since when i was 7. i found out about your channel something like 1 year ago and sinced then i started to watch all of your videos because it's the best way to listen to some good english. today is a life changing day because i come to know the origins of the wizarding trunk boxes XD i love it

I personally wouldnt buy a box like this because, 1. I couldnt use the bath things because my skin reacts to them... I cant even use lush stuff. And 2. If something is a very simple handmade thing I feel like I could just do it myself

It is so funny that you didn't knew that the quote was from Hagrid but insinctly thought of him saying that😂❤

Everyone had an opinion. I personally do like the egg, at least the idea of it, but I agree with cherry. Dragons in that bag would have been better or an egg that was a little better? It’s cute but again, not super high quality? They included 15 items. Maybe including less products of higher quality would be better. Yes, cherrys not pulling punches, but she doesn’t love everything and it would be wrong to pretend she likes everything. Maybe she shouldn’t have said shit, but it definitely looked like a mass produced artists idea. Spend more money on less items. My two cents.

I personally love how honest you are in these videos! Shows you're not one of these fake influencers who will lie and sell you any old s***. These boxes are really expensive and you want to feel like you're getting good value for money which I don't think you do personally in this box

Me: *Tears pouring out of my eyes over the Gred and Forge picture* TOO SOON AZKABOX WAY TOO SOON!!!!!!!

I just want the quill and the f***boy candle!

Your hair looks really cute in plaits! I love your personality- it always makes me happy

Cherry:"This is exactly what I'd imagine victor crum to smell like." Me:"Sweat,grim and stupidity?"

So interesting seeing how people’s preferences differ, as most of the stuff in the box seemed like things I would really enjoy, even the ones that Cherry wasn’t such a fan of. Although I must say replicas are also my favorites

Could they have left out the eggs and represented Beau Baton and Hufflepuff? Absolutely not a fan off the eggs or coloring page, like the honesty

You should get a throw pillow for your office, specifically for patches that you recieve. That way you can have them on display like your pins.

I sense a slight lack of enthusiasm for this box 😄

its honest review and i completely agree with cherry on the items she disliked, they looked so half assed made for how much you are paying for the boxes, the items even small should be good and detailed.

So we had a Durmstrang item but no Beauxbatons?

Nice hairband 👍 - we match in our videos today!

I make patches into magnets. just get some magnetic sheet with sickly back and cut around it.

I like how honest she was because she is speaking as a person who knows how much work goes into boxes like this. The egg was shit and I personally could tell that she was joking about the gilly weed. Would y’all rather she only say nice things about a box she got for free so that you end up buying it and realize most of the products are crap? Didn’t think so

Maybe is the first video that i truly appreciate your honesty for a while. I like it even if i have different point of view about some items. I hope you will keep going to be that straight to the point without "add sugar" to your feelings

Always happy to see a New video from you, Cherry!💜

Cherry: ooo this looks like a bath product! Me: wtf no its capri sun ??😂

I LOVE that she is so honest about the goodies she gets in these boxes!!

I can sort of understand the shitstorm, but at the same time. As a creator myself, the products Cherry were very honest about (and yes it was honesty because it was a genuine reaction) was something I could have made myself and better. I don't get these boxes but I see where Cherry is coming from, it didn't look nice. I've looked up the price on this box and it isn't cheap and I would be very unhappy getting collectors items looking like this... My first reaction was the same to watching, bad choice of words, perhaps, but it was said and she chose to keep it in the video because it's authentic. And about the gillyweed... She was playing around and yes there are similarities, the girl has humor! Of course she's not the first person making a replica, it was a joke and I thought it was funny that they were similar because nowadays subscription boxes and companies steals works of creators so I saw it as funny and a humorous sidenote. Also, since Cherry has done unboxings for such a long time and also started creating some herself, she knows the work that goes in to them and she knows about quality. Cherry is being true to herself, sounded more harsh then before, maybe but honest opinions aren't always perfectly put!

Little unnecessarily negative about everything in this box people have worked hard to create the things in this box and as someone who creates their own sub box you would have thought you might have been a little kinder rather than just dismissing things that were hand made and probably took along time to do so, I suggested you rewatch your video and put it into context, imagine someone was reviewing your products from your box like this and took one look at your mandrake painting and said the same about that as you did the print from the box, I understand you have to be honest that doesn't mean you have to be unkind. I expected better.

Great honest review! The only thing that caught me off guard was Vegard being in the room and the bleeped comments. My 6 year old was watching along with me, so I would just like a little warning if there’s going to be language, even bleeped language. I watch Vegard’s videos, & love him, but I don’t watch them around my littles.

If you have an candle that was in a dark colored glass, take the labels off your smaller candle and put it in the glass one after it's been used up. That's what I do.

"It was delivered by some ruddy bird named Erroll" *** (Some owls are like Erroll sometimes)

This is why I don't buy subcription boxes cause I know I won't like and use half the items and to me its not worth the money

I agree the quill is the best. I like the eye but it would ave been even cooler is they had put it on a faux leather band so that you could wear it like a false eye.

“No good sittin’ worryin’ abou’ it,” he said. “What’s comin’ will come, an’ we’ll meet it when it does.” It's my favorite Hagrid quote 😊

Cherry that comment about the egg was really rude! :( it was handmade you didnt have to be mean :/ many artist get their start from kind and nice words about their pieces whom companies give a chance :/ be kind hun!

The quill and the jar with the beetle where my favorite as well 💚 I also almost teared up when I saw the print of Fred and George 😭

I'm always saying the quote how do you not know that quote I have it on my wall .. wow ! 🤔 Very negative overall too bad I look forward to these . I liked her before she had her own perception box and became very critical of other boxes 🤷

OMG. Whoever edits your RU-vid vids are so good. Shout-out to them.

It's interesting that you say you like stuff what you can put in shelfs, that was i didn't like in your geek gear box, there wasn't any product what can be used.

Cherry :*sniff candle* thats exactly what i think victor smells like. Me : girl you know it

Well, as I study bryology, I can confirm, it is really real live moss inside jar with Rita. : P

"The only time they'll grow old together" Oh my heart 😢

Jeez people, just let her honestly review the boxes. If she doesn't like something, she doesn't like it. Chill out.

Cherry: That's so sad Also Cherry: 😄

I was so excited when I got the notification ❤❤❤❤❤ clicked it right away ❤

I think she's always honest about her reviews she says it's always going to be hit or miss because everybody has different preferences. Sometimes people are not going to like how she comes off and says it but you know that's also a different preference for everybody. You cannot please everybody. And if you try you'll go nuts. I think she does a wonderful job

15:52 its because Hagrid says that quote! 😂 great impression!!

The bath bomb chunks match her eyeshadow

You didn't sound mean to me, I understand why some people thought differently. HOWEVER, so many of the comments are much meaner. Guys, when you think someone was mean, it's very hypocritical of you to give ''constructive criticism'' by being even harsher. Just let her know you prefer her when she's sweeter, that'll do it.

If you collect up all your patches you could sew or iron them into a blanket? If they parches don’t have an iron on backing they all you need to do is get some ironing tape and put that between the patch and the blanket and iron. The tape melts and sticks the patch to the blanket. You could also use have a bag, t-shirt, jumper or whatever else you want instead of a blanket but a blanket is cool to decorate. I have a girl guiding blanket covered in patches for girl guiding.

Did anybody else notice the heh.eye for a split second!!

Personally, I’d save the coloring page and frame it. But then again, I love black and white pictures!

I was trying really hard to order this exact box and I couldn't. Now I am happy I couldn't. I think this is the weakest box from Azkabox. Also my country isn't represented at all as I expected

“Yer a wizard, harry” “Yer a Weasley, Cherry”

Honestly you guys, alright she was a bit harsh with the egg artist, and yes I felt bad but come on ! I’m making polymer clay as well, and I’m no artist, and I can assure you this was poorly made. But maybe the artist had to rush it out because of the number she/he had to make for that subscription box ? Moreover, you all might seem to forget that Cherry is a collector. I mean look at her background, it’s full alright ! Regarding the amount of replicas and Harry Potter themed objects she has, she probably gets more and more selective with what comes in and out of her shelves right ? Otherwise it would be too crowded ! Anyway I feel like I understand both Cherry and the comments down below, and I don’t feel like judging. Ps : English isn’t my first language, please forgive the linguistic mistakes I may have made.

Thank you for the review! Hope you enjoy them!

I know this is late but there shouldn't have been anything wrong with people commenting their opinions when Cherry literally asked in the outro if we agreed with her. She asked straight up if we agreed or not on her opinion of the box. That is all. Lol

wh. . . How didnt I know of these boxes-- all of these are cute??? thank you for sharing this ??? - From a Shadowy Slytherin

For the candle, you may be able to melt the wax down and re-pot/container it to something more up your alley. You were also right on the quote, it’s from Hagrid

Wow I’m so surprised of the items you said you didn’t like! I honestly thought this box looked amazing!! I love the items they included that were based on the books and overlooked in the movies (like Winky for instance💕)!! Plus I loved the letter from Hermione about S.P.E.W! I thought that was amazing and so original! Loved the potion even though I totally understand why you wouldn’t! I honestly enjoyed that this box had so many different type of items: usable items and items we can put on our bookshelves! 💕 Overall I loved it and I hope they have more boxes available soon for new subscribers cause I would love to try it! 😁

You are the witchiest of all queens 👸🏼 I love you so much and how much effort you put into every video with love and love passion fuelling it xx💖🌈✨🥰

Cherry's face on the thumbnail is amazing.

I feel like you are more brutally honest than usual in the video! I like it! Think it’s a good thing!

The patches, my daughter is a scouts girl now as a adult young woman I had het patches trough the years on her blouse. But like some a put on a blanket of so and it can turn into a quilt, turning into a bedspread or sofa spread. Even you can make into a artwork for on the wall.

It's true, the quality on these is not the best but you could simply say it's an okay item, we can all see it so let us decide if we like it or not, no need to be this judgemental on a free box and point out passive aggressively that they stole one of your ideas then paint it as "honesty" You've always been a bit snobbish which is fine but now it's like you look down at other subscription boxes and creators and think of them as competitors.
