- [Harry] I'm Harry, Harry Potter.
- If I look tired, it's because I am tired.
This week has been a lot.
Hey guys, Tessa here.
And I'm back with yet another "Harry Potter" haul.
But first, we have a sponsor.
A big shout out to Zenni Optical for sponsoring this video.
Zenni Optical is a website where you can order
super affordable glasses, sunglasses,
prescription lenses, and blue light glasses online.
Most prescription lenses that you buy
can be upward of $200.
But the glasses on the Zenni website are less than $50.
Are you tired of always wearing the same lenses?
Well fear not, because with Zenni
you can have multiple options, multiple pairs of glasses.
So you can switch up your style, switch up your look.
So, Zenni Optical reached out to me
and of course I had to
make our collab "Harry Potter" themed.
So I picked out a pair of glasses
and a pair of sunglasses to represent each Hogwarts house.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
where dwell the brave at heart.
Their daring nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart.
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
where they are just and loyal.
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil.
Or yet, in wise, old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind,
where those of wit and learning will always find their kind.
Or perhaps in Slytherin you'll make your real friends.
Those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends.
So put me on, don't be afraid, and don't get in a flap.
You're in safe hands, though I have none,
for I'm a thinking cap.
So, if you need new glasses, sunglasses,
prescription lenses, or blue light glasses
I would definitely recommend Zenni Optical.
I have linked all of my glasses
and sunglasses in my description box below,
so make sure to check it out.
And let me know in the comments which pair is your favorite.
These are my favorite.
Thank you, Zenni!
(kissing noise)
So for today's "Harry Potter" haul,
I am going to be, again, showing you things
from some of my favorite "Harry Potter" small businesses.
A great alternative if you do not want to buy
officially licensed merchandise,
and you get to support a lot of
creative, talented, and hardworking people
that love "Harry Potter".
It's the best thing,
I love doing it.
I love helping out small businesses whenever I can,
so let's give them lots of love.
Yeah!
Also, if a small business that I mentioned
is not open right now or they do not have the item in stock,
I would recommend following that shop on Instagram
because that's where they usually post all their
updates and restocks.
As always, everything from today's haul,
the shops, the Instagrams, all of the things,
will be linked in my description box below,
so please check it out.
If you're new to my channel, hello!
Make sure you are subscribed.
I am so excited that I recently hit 700,000 subscribers.
Ah!
Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to me.
I am now currently trying to get to 777,000 subscribers,
because seven is a lucky number in "Harry Potter".
Also, follow me on Tiktok.
This was the longest intro of my life!
So remember, in my last haul,
when I told you guys
that I had an obsession with embroidered sweatshirts?
Well, the obsession continues.
But it makes me happy, so it's good.
Anyway. (laughing)
So the first thing I want to show you
is this sweatshirt that I am wearing.
It is from Enchanted Oddities!
I cannot stop buying these sweatshirts,
I'm so in love with them!
Look at this beautiful Luna quote.
I just love Luna so much.
No big deal,
this is just everything that I stand for as a person.
I also got three more sweatshirts from Enchanted Oddities.
Look at this one, though.
Look!
The Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare.
Then we have this sweatshirt, with the flying key.
The key to my heart.
The flying key to my heart.
Look at it fly across the screen.
The Gryffindor vibes are immaculate.
I also just love the texture of this one.
It's very nice.
And finally, I got this one.
Deathly Hallows!
It's very beautiful though,
like, look at this.
Look at how stunning.
I got this one because
I am a master of death. (twinkling sound effect)
I love the texture of these too.
It's like cozy Gryffindor vibes.
I just love supporting Kayla and all of her work.
She's amazing.
I'm such a Hufflepuff on the inside guys.
Ravenclaw outside, Puff inside.
Next thing.
Ah!
Seriously though.
Oh, I have to back the up.
Look at this.
Are you kidding me?
I can't even fit it in the freaking frame.
Do you see it?
Do you see the broom?
Guys, I've never had a broomstick before.
This is my first broom.
Here's the broom part.
Here's the handle.
This is a very exciting time for me.
So I got this broom from my parents for Christmas.
Oh, what am I doing?
At least I have a broom to sweep up my messes. (laughing)
I got this beautiful broom from my parents for Christmas.
They got it from Alivan's,
which is like one of the OG "Harry Potter" shops.
I don't know about you guys,
but I remember scrolling through Alivan's
back in the day, before you were born.
You were probably born, I don't know when you were born.
But anyway, I love Alivan's,
so you should definitely check them out.
I think that Brizzy has the same exact broom.
I'm almost positive that she has the same freaking broom.
So we are broom sisters. (laughing)
Broom besties.
That is us, me and Brizzy, broom besties.
Next thing, next thing.
Where is it?
Here it is.
Oh.
This is a fully written replica book.
This thing has so much beauty in it.
The back, the front, the spine.
Is it upside down?
Yeah, it's upside down.
It's beautiful.
This thing is freaking stunning.
This book was made by NoMajChris.
The same guy that made my Corona Quibbler
also made this beautiful masterpiece.
The amount of time and effort
that went into making this is unreal.
There's so much in here.
You just need to buy this book, Okay?
Trust me, you need to buy this.
Chris, you outdid yourself with this one.
Oh, I got another thing from NoMajChris.
Hold on, I got another thing.
I got another thing.
Oh my gosh.
The iconic "He Who Must Not Be Named Returns".
Look at like the foiling on the P.
I wanted my own little "Daily Prophet",
so here it is.
I just realized that both of these
are like ripping apart Dumbledore. (laughing)
Oh my God guys,
wait until you see this new wand
that I got from Brown and Lobban,
one of my favorite wand makers of all time.
Do you guys know what wand this is?
It's Luna's original wand with the acorns.
I am going to sob!
You do not understand how long I have wanted this wand.
For so long I have coveted this wand.
Because it's like impossible to get.
The only way that you can get this
is if you buy like the whole set,
it's this whole thing. (sighing)
I really just love everything.
♪ Can you feel my love tonight ♪
If you want this exact wand,
I would message him on either Instagram or his Etsy,
but he also does like custom wands and commissions.
He's incredible.
Check out his shop.
Again, people make this?
People just make wands?
I love you Brian, your wands are beautiful.
Oh!
Oh, let me show you this.
Where is it?
It is a proclamation decree that I purchased.
Or wait.
No, did I get this for Christmas?
I think I got this for Christmas.
This is like perfect for my bookshelf.
Lumos Maxima Art made this beautiful,
incredible proclamation decree.
(giggling)
Next, let's talk about Lovegood Bath Potions on Etsy.
Not only does Lonnie make the most delicious smelling,
and uniquely creative,
and also like functional
and amazing "Harry Potter" bath products,
but she also sells non-bath products as well.
She also makes these pride stickers
that says, "You are so loved."
This is just like such an important reminder.
So many stickers, so many flags.
Lonnie will also be donating $4
of every sale from these stickers
to the Marsha P. Johnson Institute,
which is an incredible organization
that I have personally donated to in the past.
Definitely check them out.
But if you get one of these stickers,
then you just get an automatic $4 donation.
She also sent me this bath bomb.
It's lavender and rose scented.
Avocado oil, coconut oil for soft skin.
So beautiful.
I've used her bath bombs in the past
and they feel amazing on your skin.
It's a whole experience
and I would definitely recommend it.
It's awesome.
Speaking of bath bombs,
here's another one.
It's a beautiful unicorn horn.
(twinkling sound effect) Look at how sparkly.
I saw people's comments that if you put this in the bath
it kind of reminds you of like the Hogwarts Great Lake,
so I am very excited. (laughing)
♪ I also got two bubble baths ♪
♪ Got some bubble baths. ♪
♪ Pumpkin Juice and Felix Felicis. ♪
This one is cinnamon scented and this one is mango scented.
This is something else for the bath,
Hungarian Horntail bath powder.
It has a cinnamon fragrance.
But seriously, my bath time
is about to get so much more magical.
Look at these.
This one is a classic,
but like, this is next level.
And finally, the last thing
from Lovegood Bath Potions is this.
A holographic Dunder Mifflin house crest sticker,
for all of my "Office" and "Harry Potter" fans out there.
Circling back to sweatshirts.
Yeah, I bought five more.
I can never have enough.
This one!
This is a Burrow crew neck
that I bought from Seeker and Slade.
Oh, just so you guys know,
I always put like what I'm wearing in my description box.
Who wouldn't wanna say at The Burrow?
Look at this sweatshirt from Royal Coven.
It is Harry's iconic holiday sweater.
But this one is all beautiful and sophisticated.
Another one.
I am Marauders trash,
so this sweatshirt was made just for me.
I got it from Magicians Pub.
The colors are very Gryffindor.
It just transports me directly to Gryffindor tower.
Look at this one!
Brizzy actually got me this one.
She got one for both of us,
because she saw it and she knew
that we both needed this sweatshirt in our lives.
This sweatshirt is from Geeked Up Threads.
We got another one.
Oh my gosh, this is the last one!
From Seriously Magic Designs!
Is it covered in cat hair?
I feel like it is. (laughing)
What can I say?
I see a diadem.
I want it, I need it, it's mine.
