So the Harry Potter Golden Egg...is it worth getting? See my honest review
I'll be going through the pros and the cons of this prop replica
and in a moment I'll show you close-up shots that I took
of the actual prop at the Warner Bros Studio Tour, so you can see how they compare
now this isn't an unboxing, because I've had this prop for quite a while
but more of a close-up of the detail, so you can see what it looks like if you're considering getting it
I love the shiny, shiny gold of this egg
I mean I think I used to be a niffler because I'm kind of obsessed with foiling
I normally have it behind me in most of my videos, with all my other Harry Potter items
it has quite a bit of red and some turquoise details, as well as you can see
it does have this cool, complex design that's etched onto it
I read in Harry Potter - Page to Screen,
where it's explained that the skyline etched on the outside of the egg
is meant to depict an historical city, so perhaps one that belongs to merpeople
it has this cute little owl face at the top and the feather catches on the side
it does still have the trademark at the bottom, but fortunately that's at the very bottom
so when displayed it does not show 'made by Warner Bros' on the side, taking you out of magic
it also comes with this handy ring that allows you to display it upright, whatever you want
now the biggest con is unfortunately it does not open... I know...
the catch at the top does not twist to reveal the three portions that open, to show the inner crystal bubbles
that release a screeching sound and when you hold it underwater, plays the mermaid song, now...
as amazing as that would be, unfortunately it doesn't do that
the only reason I can imagine, is just because of the sheer cost of production
I think it just would be very, very expensive
and also probably the hinges of where it does open
would probably be very delicate, so probably prone to breakages
so if it was a very expensive prop but then also delicate
I'm not sure how popular that would be - however...
they do offer
a little charm pendant that does have the opening sections so if you're really
keen on one that does actually open, Noble Collection do offer that
but that's obviously not prop, like this one
if Noble Collection does however bring out a Harry Potter Golden Egg that does open...
you know I'm gonna be getting it
because amazing as this one is, it would be amazing if there was one that opened
now looking at the photos - so these I took at Warner Bros Studio Tour London
when they had the Goblet of Fire exhibition
so because that one was the hero prop
(so for close-up shots in the film) it would have the highest level of detail
so even though it does not open, I would recommend getting this item
I think it's pretty well made and...
it's not an overly cumbersome item
so it's not going to take up loads of space, so for someone who's limited on space like me
it does fit nicely on my shelf
and it has a beautiful gold like shiny, shiny so if you are
collecting gold decor or anything like that, then it would fit in perfectly
and also it's one of those items that
like if you didn't know I like things that are like straight out of film, like if I could reach in the film
and take it out and I have that egg, then this is one of them, so that's
one of the reasons why I did go for it because
it is that prop replica, it's not like a mini size or a figurine of something
it is like the prop size and that's why I love it so much
so I would recommend getting this, I think it's worth it
so that's it for this Harry Potter Golden Egg review
