In less than a month, the most curious will open the first boxes of their Advent calendar(s). And on social networks, influencers are already revealing the inside of many of them. Beauty, food or toys calendar, there is something for everyone. And like every year, fans of the Harry Potter saga are not left out. This time again, muggles and apprentice wizards will find what they are looking for among the numerous offers found in online stores.
The Harry Potter Advent calendar that stands out this winter is none other than the Hogwarts Trunk. It must be said that from the outside, it looks amazing. Available on Amazon at the price of 128.13 euros, it is a dream for fans of the world of JK Rowling. However, many admit to being completely disappointed when discovering what it contains. Warning: spoilers!
“My darling wanted to give it to me. Well no, I’m going to choose another one…”
At first glance, the trunk is very appealing. Its faux leather texture, its golden opening latches, its flying key, its admission letter to Hogwarts,… We love it! But it’s by opening the boxes that it gets a little worse. In box no. 2, a small ornament to hang in the tree. In box no. 4, a round badge. Next box? A wand-shaped pen. For those who follow, we’ll give you a quick summary: a scrunchie, earrings, a pin, a second pen, a mini wool sweater,… Internet users do not hide their disappointment in the face of this.
“A set of trinkets for almost €100”says a young woman on TikTok. “I find it expensive for a few pins, a scrunchie and trinkets. I don’t find it profitable, we just pay for the Harry Potter license and the little trunk”underlines another a little further on. And according to the many comments, everyone (or almost) thinks the same thing. “The price is a shame! I’m a fan, but I never pay that price for what little is in it.”
“Too expensive for what it is”, “It’s crazy”, “Don’t mess around”, “It costs an arm and a leg”… because therein lies the real problem with this Advent calendar: the price-quality ratio is far from excellent. “Unfortunately they look like products found on Aliexpress”judges an Internet user on TikTok. “The box and packaging are incredibly beautiful, but the inside of the calendar is a disappointment for me”confides another, a bit disappointed. “My darling wanted to give it to me. Well no, I’m going to choose another one…” For big fans of the saga: don’t worry. Many other Harry Potter Advent calendars are available for this winter.
