I recently got some Harry Potter Merchandise from
the Wizarding World and the Warner Bros Studio Tour, let me show you what i got
these are the items that I purchased on a recent trip to the Harry Potter Studios in December
and I'm sure you'll guess that I didn't just apparate over to Orlando to go to the Wizarding World
not just because intercontinental apparition is very dangerous
these items were purchased online and also via a friend that lives in the US
so let me start off with the items that I purchased from the Harry Potter Studios here in the UK
first item is these Exploding Bonbons
now I've always wanted to buy sweets from Honeydukes
but because a lot of them contain dairy and I'm lactose intolerant
I didn't see any, you know reason to get them apart from display
but I thought now's the time to get them and of course I haven't eaten any because there are display item
eventually I'll probably throw these away and replace what's in them with maybe something
but at the moment they're not going gross they just look pretty
and I love them on my shelf, I love a bit of Honeydukes, I love a bit of Wizarding world
something to put on my shelf so this is why I went for that item
and I just think they're really pretty I love the design
I'm assuming designed by the duo that is MinaLima that designed all the packaging for the Wizarding world
packaging in the films and in the shops, so of course I was gonna get this little bit of magic
another item that I did actually have already
but me being last minute me actually wanted to send a gift to someone
and I knew that they wanted it and i had it and i always thought that i could pop back
to the Harry Potter Studios and pick up another one because they were very prevalent there
so I sent this off, the friend was very happy for their birthday and then when I went back
they didn't have stock of it and I thought oh my goodness, what have I done?...
maybe they'll never come back and I'll never get it again
fortunately they eventually come back in stock and it was this slytherin inquisitorial squad badge
well not Slytherin, I mean it could've gone to others but the Slytherins wear it
I just think it's really cute
although this isn't screen accurate, I will work on making a screen accurate ribbon eventually
but this I would say is probably the closest size to the actual prop now
when I do go back to the Harry Potter studios I will take this
and ask one of the interactors to hold this up to the actual prop, so I can see the size comparison
because I love doing that, I love seeing how close like merchandise and stuff is to the actual props
because they do often get it very very close
so that's what I'll do next, but I'm very pleased I now have this back in my possession
and I will learn from that, that
if i'm going to be sending a gift, I must make sure that I have another one in my possession before sending it off
because I may not be able to get it again although
giving a great gift...yeah I still wanted it
and then the final item from the Harry Potter Studios is something that I've had my eye on for quite some time, but
to justify it because I'm not sure where it would go on my shelves
and also I'm not about to have it dangling from my rearview mirror in my car
and I'm sure you can probably guess what it is...
but it's the Shrunken Head
like toy basically and it is
quite hideous at the same time as being quite a great prop replica
this comes with this like twine thread that hangs through his head goodness knows where it's
anchored in the actual, you know shrunken head I guess drilled through the skull
which is a bit morbid but it does actually talk and there's a little button at the bottom
so I don't know which one it's going to be at the moment
okay the longest one
I mean very fun but I guess quite annoying to people that you might live with
but I do really enjoy it, it's really fun I mean I guess you couldn't even play with the hair like if i wanted to do plaits
and customise it I guess you could even make it more screen replica because
I think it had like bits in its hair but yeah I think it's really cute and I'm really pleased that I did buy it
because it's just magical transportation so it really should go in my car but
I don't know maybe, maybe not hanging from it
next up are items from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando
now they have a lot of items that aren't available at the Harry Potter Studios here in the UK
so when I see people taking videos of the shops and just posting about merchandise they buy
I am then made aware of things and some you can buy online and get shipped over
obviously there's a more of a expensive delivery cost but some of the items can be picked up...
that only can be picked up in person so I have to ask a friend that lives in the US to go and pick it up for me
and one of the items I saw recently and it wasn't really a merchandise thing but it's something from Gringotts
and I'll start off with this one
from what i believe it is it's actually a money token
so it... the equivalent is ten dollars, so it's not legal tender
and not redeemable for cash, but it's valid only at participating locations throughout universal orlando resort
so this replica did i guess cost more than ten dollars because it's ten dollars plus...
I think it, was it? I can't actually remember but it is a prop replica of the Gringotts cheque
that is very prevalent in the Gringotts set at the Warner Bros Studio Tour
they have like piles of these there, like super glued down so people don't steal them
but when I saw that this was a pretty brilliant prop replica
even though it's like you know, a cash token well not cash token but...
I thought I'm going to get this, so I think this is so cute
next item I got you would have seen in a recent video I did regarding the love potion
and I did a comparison between this love potion which is from the Wizarding world of Harry Potter
and the love potion that is from the noble collection Hermione box
and you can see that video i'll link that here if you want to look further into the comparison that
but this is actually i believe liquid candy - yes liquid sweets so it's liquid candy
and it tastes similar to I would say like liquid Turkish delight, it's like rose watery syrup
I like that flavour, I know some people don't really like that but I like it
but very cute and I love the fact that you can actually drink from it so it's more of a usable prop
which I'm not sure you can actually fill the noble collection bottle, but yeah
I've always wanted to have this i can compare it to two and now I do have it and I think it's really cute, it's lovely
and yeah, just super pleased that I now have that as part of this little prop replica, I just love little things like this
but yeah, so that's that one
another item from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is of course the Decoy Detonator
again not sure why this isn't available at the Harry Potter Studios here in the UK
it is a toy, I don't know how screen accurate it is
but I think I love the packaging, again that's designed, I would assume designed by MinaLima
and I've already taken it out because I have it on display
and it's this little toy that it's not a wind, it's not a wind-up toy
it actually you, it's one of those, it's like a car where you pull it back and then it it goes off
and it does make a noise like, I did pull the tab out
and it does but I don't know if it's going to do it like, if it actually needs to go a little bit more like
so yeah this is super cute, I just think I like the decoy detonator, I think it's a really ingenious bit of
creativity from the Weasleys and obviously from the book
realised in this little Weasley's Wizard Wheezes bit of merchandise
so very very cute really pleased i have this now, oh it's just so cute
now I do love a lot of Quidditch items, so I've got a little snitch which you can see just down there
there are more items that you can purchase
not available again at the Harry Potter studios, I think I did see it once there
I'm not sure if they sold out and stopped making it for some reason, but the moment only available
at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and it is this Bludger bat and ball set
hopefully it's not too shiny - I haven't removed from the packaging just yet
because I also did see a long time ago that MinaLima
had this on their walls in their design studio because obviously they designed all this as well
and then again it was one of those things where I see
them wearing army pants and flip-flops so of course I bought army pants and flip-flops
so yeah that's why I got it because they obviously liked it enough to display
so I thought that I would get it to display because I'm crazy
made of foam - I guess you would use this bat and ball set to play with
I would be scared to damage it
I would love a real wooden version of this because that would just be immense
it does come as a single like this, you really do need two
but I didn't go for two yet
but it even says you're distributed by the Warner Bros Studio Tour, but not available in shops so
at the moment they've just moved over to the Wizarding World
and you can only get it there, so had this shipped over a while ago
but really pleased I now have this as part of my Quidditch
which apparently I'm quite obsessed with Quidditch stuff - who knew? I'm not like sporty in the least
but I love me myself some magical sports
and then the final item is a very small item and
I believe available from Filch's Emporium
and it wasn't something I was aware of until again seeing posts by people
and it is this which hopefully you can see it
pin badge - little Umbridge kitty pin badge
like how cute is that
now I wouldn't say that I like Umbridge but
quite an iconic character with quite a lot of amazing items dedicated to her
and this little kitty badge is just so cute I couldn't resist
Kat my friend did actually purchase one of these as well and we took it to the studio tour recently and she
like photographed it amongst this
I would say that the original prop is a little bit more of a a chubby kitty
this one's a little bit more of a slim kitty but
yeah it's still quite an accurate replica
that I didn't realise was available, but love it
I'm really pleased that i now have that as part of my collection which of umbridge items
is actually growing quite a lot, I didn't realise I had so many Umbridge items, but yeah
this is this is a really cute one
so that's it for this harry potter merchandise haul
