Some wizards and witches are sending me howlers! Just to be ultra clear: this video was purely a comparison between replicas sold by websites like Wish, and reputable retailers licensed by Harry Potter. It was certainly not a dig at people who can or can’t afford certain things - that is not what I’m about. I’m a Hufflepuff at heart under my Gryffindorness. Point being: I hope you enjoy this video for what it was meant to be, a little bit of fun looking at the differences. Lumos ♥️✨⚡️
Cherry Wallis . There was just a general bad vibe , some people can only afford WISH prices and then there’s you throwing a wand across the room because it dosent meet your standards ? Felt a bit off that’s all
I enjoyed it...I didn't think you did anything wrong...I was very happy to see the difference so I would know what to expect if I ordered from Wish...which I have been thinking about...the pictures they show look deceiving which now I see that mostly they are...not that I still wouldn't if I was looking for something specific for a purpose! Thanks ...
I'm glad you did this video. I'd rather see what the wish version looks like before wasting money it. Tbh I don't think people are being very fair to you. You clearly said at the start you were just comparing them to the real ones. I enjoy your videos
I am surprised at how some people took this video because I didn't see anything wrong while watching it. As a fan of not just HP but alot of other stories, having a really good replica means alot. Just looking at them gives so much joy to your day. I don't know but even the sight of my books make me excited. As a fan, I don't consider my collections as "toys" because I cherish and love them, so I want them protected, which is the point of getting a really good quality version.
Regarding the real slytherin locket, I bought mine at Noble collection in London, second time I opened the display box at home the chain broke. So the real replicas do no always have great quality as well ;)
Well they're mass produced with not horrible but not amazing quality materials good enough to last then they sell them to people over priced af bc its by the licenced company
@Koolkat Koolkat i used to have a licensed one as well as a child and it did stop spinning smoothly shortly to the point of being able to detach from its axis so yeah the display box was still beautiful tho hahaha
In fact, the "fake" timeturner looks a lot more like the one in the harry potter films. The size and also the colour of the sand, plus the fact that the words are engraved in it do make it more alike to the real real one. Of course, the quality of the real replica (which I own) is amazing, but the words are just printed on and that makes it look a bit cheap. I've also thought for a while that it would've been nice if nobel collection had really tried to reproduce Hermione's one, just like the makers of the one from wish did. (Edit: the chain is also more similar to the one in the films)
I don't own the time turner necklace, but I have the key chain, which I bought at the HP Studios. The key chains are actually quite similar to the fake necklace and also don't turn by the handles. Needless to say, I'm still quite happy with it and keep it displayed at home, so that nothing happens to it. ☺
Some people wanna just be elitist and show off and letting their heads be clouded by the merch businesses than actually appreciating the fiction's universe. What's canon is what's in the literature, books, movies, etc, not a freaking company buying a license then selling everything ten times more expensive. Like, supporting the original creators is one thing, dissing things through price & capitalism-based prejudice is another.
Nah. I would do it too. These are a lot better for cosplay or just wearing around without worrying about breaking your expensive HP stuff. They look fine to me too
I think they're good if you can't afford the real ones but still want to feel like you own them in a way. For the prices you're paying, you can't really expect the quality to be that great. I'm sure many people would be happy to own some of these items.
I have the "fake" Time Turner and it is hanging from my rearview mirror in my car. I would never use an authentic replica that way, but the knockoff is perfect for that kind of thing. I also bought several sets of the coins and put them all into a nice little pouch. Again, you would never use the Noble Collection coins that way for fear of losing them or scratching them up, but a bag full of wizard coins for your cosplay is great at the knockoff price.
If you want a cheap wand that's magical... Do like I did. I went out in my backyard and trimmed a small branch off my pear tree, measured it to 10 inches and peeled the bark off and decorated it with a wrapped leather hand grip and a decorative snake to represent my house. Made it to my exact Pottermore specs.
That's beautiful (minus the leather, in my opinion, as I'm personally against the use of real animal skin). I use a beaver stick that I found on the beach at my cottage.
Use the crappy replicas and decorate a mini harry potter themed Christmas tree! Get a few more little wish trinkets to fill it out. That would be super cute
I really liked the fake Grindelwald pendant. Obviously the replica is way better quality and more detailed but I think the fake makes for a better size if you actually want to wear it regularly Edit: Also the ring seems to be exactly what someone buying it would expect. Because it’s a piece of jewelry I imagine most people would like to wear it at least sometimes, so in that regard I think the one from which might be a little better. If you were to get a replica from wish and it turned out to be the same size as the real one, but the person was expecting to be able to wear it they would be very disappointed
Overall, the copies seem good for cosplay or kids - easily replaced if something happens to them. If you're a serious collector it's probably best to treat yourself & go legit. x
@@voidsassin7607 well a serious cosplayer probably wouldn't spend 40+ dollars on a piece of a cosplay that they're gonna take to a con. Cosplay is already expensive just with the costume pieces let alone accessories
@@voidsassin7607 true. But no one shells out 40-100+ dollars on an accessory to a cosplay even professional cosplayers. While diy is probably the more common route buying cheap replicas is also an acceptable option. The more expensive replicas are really for display purposes rather than cosplay
The exaggeration in this video is a bit OTT. I think considering these things were literally £1 all of them were pretty good! the Grindelwald necklace was really cute!
Maybe to you, but this is coming from someone who has vastly different values and is actually willing to pay real replica price -- and HAS. She's just comparing them to the real ones, and she does say that most of them are worth the price you pay. They're just not as great as the more expensive ones. Which should be obvious to anyone anyway.
I think your right but don't get me rong I love cherry but I think some of the things there are actually still pretty good for the price like the grindelwald necklace and by the way great T-shirt cherry😄
You can’t expect any merch to be perfect, realistically. As a teenager I bought (well, begged my parents for) the Noble Collection time turner and Hermione’s Wand (at different times and I know I’m privileged just to have gotten them, things like that were a rarity for me but still). Anyway, my time turner broke the first week I had it, because I wanted to wear it and I was dancing with it on and one of the dials flew off, and I never found it. Also, on my Hermione wand, you can see the end of the metal core poking out at the tip of the wand, they just painted over it but it ends flat instead of in a point. These are the official items, and they still aren’t the be-all end-all perfection you expect. So I understand most fans wanting to buy cheaper versions that still look pretty good and magical to the non-collector’s eye (even though I’d rather look on Etsy or somewhere where I know the creator of the piece is getting fairly compensated). At the end of the day, you should only spend money on these kinds of things if they make you happy, and they can still make you happy even if they’re a non-official version that sells for a price more within your budget. I just think it’s important to mention that the expensive Noble Collection pieces have flaws too. Your representation of them as perfect did bother me for that reason. Imperfect merch at any price point is still equally magical because it still connects us to the story we all love.
The best part is her Queeny wand isn't technically an "official" replica, it's from the Noble collection. Which though the Nobel collection is still good and most of the items are officially licenced, a large number of the wands from the noble collection are the wrong sizes.
It depends. I've bought several of these items, and some of the wands are atrociously different to what they're trying to replicate. I bought Harry's wand, for instance, and it was painted in purple for some reason. Shape was right, but the whole thing had a purple wash over it. I didn't end up using it.
@@pterodactyl6577 I don't know you, I don't know where you live on this Earth, but if I was next to you I'd hug you because that sounds really upsetting
Oh my God! I remember when i bought a time turner on wish, and i was so happy, but i never even thought that somwhere there are a real time turner which spins like in a movie, i just need that in my life, i love yours so much. I hope i will be able to afford that one day. And the egg also! Thank you for showing your magical replicas 😍
the wish ones are MUCH better for your money. I mean touch up the wand with some DIY paint if you want. Cute stuff, no need to go broke for it though. I mean for the price of the Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem you would want much nicer crystals in my opinion. The Noble collection is greedy as hell.
I think it really depends on what your priorities are If your an avid collector of this stuff then maybe save up and splash out a little more for something that you really want for your collection If your doing a cosplay then maybe don't break your bank and go with wish both do it just like I said depends what your priorities are and if you can afford it
Sure the wish ones are better for your money. But you've no idea of what they're made out off or under what circumstances they were produced. On the less bad end of the spectrum they might be made with not so nice materials in a way that isn't great for the environment, on the worse end of the spectrum they might be produced with chemicals not approved by the EU or the FDA, and in a sweatshop, or with child labour.
@@EllaMBV oh, oops, I meant to reply to the original comment not trying to correct you. Sorry XD But hi, hello, how you doin' Edit: also yes, agreed, the real replicas are officially licensed while the replica replicas are not. Like downloading a picture vs a screenshot
Thanks! My thoughts exactly. I dont know if you have seen them in an actual store or not, but they truly are. I was hyped to buy a Time turner form the merch store on a HP exhibition one or two years ago.... I quickly changed my mind
@@Kitty-mb4hy The official replicas look very plastic. For example, the wand close-ups at 11:38 make the shell on the handle appear... very fake. Additionally, the gold just above it looks like it was spray-painted a gold/brass shade. I have no problem with fake metals or shells, but if you're paying such a large amount of money for it, they should at least approximate the real thing.
Also my problem with it is that she talks about them as if they're real - as if she's managed to track down and purchase the real lost diadem of Ravenclaw or as if the little glass stones are actual diamonds etc. These are replicas of the props which were imagined by the people in the art department of the movie production based on their description in the books. They're not always 100% right either. As one commenter said, if you want an authentic wand, you're better off carving something out of a tree😅
A lot of People cant afford the “official” stuff, and it hurts us to see the People Who Can afford it, calling the things we Can afford “fake” beacuse in my opinion, all of it is real. Its not the material that matters, But the magic we see in it.
Agreed! My only “official” item is a marauders map I got on eBay. It’s really difficult to get replicas in Australia because the shipping cripples you.
I think you are trying too hard to get offended. I didn't think she was disrespectful, she was just being honest and most of Wish items were trash except maybe the Slytherin locket and the Time Turner.
I just feel like you were really dissing the “cheaper” versions. Yeah they weren’t licensed replicas but some people can’t afford to spend 50$ on one item like that and these more inexpensive magical items can change someone’s whole day when they add it to their magical collection.
Ashley Cates she’s not dissing, she’s comparing. i can’t afford the real replica but i still wouldn’t give a dollar to get a fake replica that would break so quickly
She said herself that they were okay considering the really cheap pricing, so she's not dissing anything. If you're going to be paying for something, whether it's 50$ or the 1$ fake, you might as well know what you're getting into. All she's doing is comparing them and going in depth about the quality. If you as the customer decide you don't care that the cheaper diadem doesn't have an intricate backing, then that's on you and you're free to purchase it, but at least you know what to expect.
Bultaoreune She dissed literally every single wish item the second she laid eyes on it, dissing every aspect of it before going to "This beeuuuuutiful real one"
@@EllaMBV People have their own idioms. My in-laws say "extree" instead of "extra". I wish they would say extra but it's really none of my business. It's their idiom -- not mine, so I just accept it. This video is Cherry's view on things and Cherry's termonology. She doesn't talk that way to offend and I can't figure out why so many people want to criticize her way of talking -- if she were trying to sell an item I would say "yes, she should say unlicensed" but this youtube video is mostly for entertainment. Per Google: "An idiom is a word or phrase which means something different from its literal meaning. Idioms are common phrases or terms whose meaning is changed, but can be understood by their popular use."
I would have loved to see some more closeups on both replicas. You holding them in the distance and saying how bad they are isn't really that...obvious.
You continually talked about "value for money" and just considering that, you can't deny that at wish you do get what you pay for. The 1£ galleons are great value for 1£. That should have been the point of this review. You're never gonna get 100£ value for 1£, but you could have compared expensive to cheap and reasonably considered the differences in pricing and "value for money".
That is a good idea for a next video. So in the end she can have two videos: 1. The differencea between de ‘fake’ and ‘real’ replicas and 2. The price quality of the items (either ‘real’ or ‘fake’)
I'd just like to point out that Wish gets its products from China where manufacturing largely consists of people working 11 hours a day for wages that are too low to live on. Furthermore, many Chinese factories employ children and teens, which is all to say that the reason these things are so cheap is that they're made using the lowest paid labor possible. I'm not saying you can't buy cheap replicas because the noble collection can be expensive. But Wish is just as unethical to labor as using bubble wrap packaging in a subscription box is to the environment. There are lots of Etsy sellers and artists who make these kinds of things more affordably and it helps support small business. Just putting that out there for the world.
Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. Also, let's not produce more waste by buying poor quality products that will soon end up in the bin.
I don't know so I'm genuinely asking, do you know that where Noble Collection sources and manufactures their products from? It's likely China also - although I'd be happy to be proven wrong. My biggest complaint with Noble Collection is that for the price, I find a lot of their items just as cheaply made with inconsistent paint jobs (especially the wands).
@@GnipMuffin Sorry this is a long answer, but it's a great question because this is the reason I've stopped purchasing Noble Collection items for more than a year now. The short answer is yes they manufacture in China too, and then distribute from a number of European countries including Belgium. They have obviously some level of quality control over their products in whichever factory lines they own in China, these are then divided into 3 categories - the ones ready for selling in official shops, the ones with more significant defects that are sold for cheap usually not making it into the e.g. US/UK/EU markets, but entirely available with some connections or access to the factories, and the last category where they are trashed. The paint jobs that are inconsistent obviously still passes the standard threshold they have set for their factories. Long answer (you can skip): The company's been around for more than two decades, from what I can tell, the parent company is literally Noble Collection located in Virginia, U.S.A. Because it's still a private limited company not on any stock market that I could find (I would love it if someone finds contradicting evidence because I really had trouble uncovering this company), I was not able to dig out any publicly available annual reports. This includes both financial reports and CSR reports. Clearly they would have had to submit their financial reports to the governments in US and UK even if done so privately, but any company not publicly listed is likely to not have a CSR report. This means they are not likely to be held publicly accountable for any unethical manufacturing and hiring processes, and thus their operations are UNLIKELY to follow UN Global Compact standards, ISO 9001/ ISO 14001, and OHSAS. They don't need to pay their workers well or give them good standards of living in China factories. This is the case for actually many companies whose products we purchase that were originally made in China. That being said I don't think we need to simply write off Noble Collection as a company (the debate of divestment vs. engagement). I think we can always email the company, email the president (Bassem Khoury I believe?) to engage them - tell them we are responsible consumers who care about these issues and would like them to produce some assurances and evidence to that effect. That would be a win-win course of action.
I love long answers! Thanks doing some research - before posting I had checked their website to see whether they mentioned "made in ____" but otherwise wouldn't know how or what to look for. While I agree that unregulated and "Made in China" doesn't automatically mean bad working conditions or low wages, I guess my point was that higher cost items, and the illusion of better quality (packaging does wonders) items doesn't necessarily equate to better working conditions either. It is my [limited] understanding that a lot of designer clothes and accessories are made this way as well with just a much bigger mark-up due to brand recognition. Though sites like wish are more obviously linked to such practices, it's the more well known, "reputable", expensive brands that get a pass from the public - if you are going to scold wish, I think the responsible thing is to look into every company you are buying from (even though that isn't always as easy as it sounds). It does surprise me to learn that it's based in Virginia though, considering it seems like the Noble Collection UK gets items first (unless those are separate companies).
Okay, I don’t want to sound mean, but, my parents are financially stable, my mom does AirBnb and my dad runs a furniture manufacturing company. But with lockdown and quarantine, things have been quite bad for us. I don’t really want to go spend almost $70 on 3 coins, I may as well use a few cents and imagine that they are the gringots coins, or $130 on the diademe (that’s 100% spelled wrong), the Slytheryn locket from wish honestly isn’t that bad, compared to the real one. The Wish items, although they are not the official replicas, they still hold magic within them. Back when we were financially stable, my dad got me the official replica of the elder wand, and I was stupid enough to give it away. I felt horrible because I know that I’m probably never gonna get another one. I feel like Cherry was being a little harsh with her choice of words. Like I said before, this is not hate and I’m not trying to be mean. I just wanted to state something. (I’m sorry, I know there are a lot of spelling errors)
I was OK with the video until she ripped and just ruined the wand box. Like no one forced her to rip it if she just had been more careful it wouldn't have been that ruined. Yeah the packaging wasn't the best thought out on their part but what can you expect for such a price?? I wish she treated the wish items as nicely as she treats her replicas. She literally just snapped that egg in half too, like the replica would snap the same if the same force was used :/
I noticed she did bent it a bit to rough, I was thinking yea, if I tried to force it open it would break as well and it did. I get stuff off of Wish all the time (No replicas or anything like that) but what I have order has worked or looked pretty good for the price I've paid. I would never expect perfect things I order off of wish, I just make sure its what I ordered and if its not, I take a photo and send it to wish, and they give me my money back. To me she already had it set in her mind that she wasn't going to like anything that she got off of wish, not matter if it looked good or not, there was going to be something wrong with it.
The plastic was GLUED to the box. There was almost no way for her to get it off without ripping the box or leaving some plastic on. And she’s obviously not going to treat something that’s two dollars the same as something that cost hundreds. Would you treat a pencil the same as a diamond necklace?
Lmao I'm pretty sure they're not even meant to be diamonds. I might be remembering it wrong, but the gems sets in the diadem were meant to be sapphires or something.
Just continue to buy expensive, branded real replicas already. Give the fake replicas a break. If she treated them with care like how she treats her originals, they probably won’t break so easily.
I noticed... I treat everything "fake" or "real replica" the same... Maybe that's why my fakes are all in one piece! (real replica... Shouldn't it be "official replica"?)
I have a bunch of replicas from AliExpress and they haven't broken yet. Some of them have around 2 years of regular use! Of course they aren't perfect or as good as licensed products, but for under 1€ I didn't expect them to be great
Cherry: You see, **THIS** egg looks like a boiled egg, whereas ***THIS*** is more pearlescent. Me: So its a really cheap boiled egg vs... a SHINY boiled egg
this video made me quite sad to watch, I loved all the wish items she pulled out, but the tone of voice and the snobbish nature towards them was as if they didn’t matter! They are perfect Harry Potter memorabilia for someone who can’t afford to drop $50 on a necklace!
Kenni Lee Price I agree. I mean I’m a thirteen year old kid that likes Harry Potter but I’m not going to spent so much money for stuff that I can just get much cheaper. Even though the cheaper version may not be as ‘’good’’ as the more expensive version I would still like it and get it.
Amida Rebel honestly I agree I bought my own bunch of Harry Potter stuff on wish and it just makes me mad she’s smashing it but hey good price shit is better in the end
You're obviously not attacking people who're shopping from wish. And I understand what this video was meant to be, the execution of it just left a lot to be desired. Your overall tone; you came off kinda snobbish and condescending. Overall there was just a lot of negativity in this video.. This was also the very first video I've seen of you, so this doesn't really make you very likable in my books, and I do not mean this as a personal attack! Hope you don't perceive it like that, I am a firm believer of constructive feedback, & this is just how you come across in this video. Also, you were obviously biased from the very beginning, which is understandable of course, your personal collection is dear to you! Other than that it was really quite interesting to see real vs fake harry potter products I personally don't shop or buy from wish so I didn't really know that they had stuff like this.
@@hospitalfood6621 I wouldn't say overly sensitive. I am quite the sensible amount of sensitive, if i do say so myself. It's called empathy and being aware of how you come across to other people. Quite useful skills in real life 👌10/10 would recommend.
I think you're being a little too harsh considering the prices of these items from Wish. You can literally get some of this things for free and they are amazingly good made considering those prices and you talk about them like they are complete rubbish.
Well maybe if you would get out of this app or most likely out of the technology maybe you would learn that some things are hard to open 😆🙄 like the Harry Potter movies and books, it’s magic!
@@hospitalfood6621 The irony when the cheap stuff breaks and people just reorder it because they love a good deal. Consumerism at it's finest. Quality is demonised as being pompous.
Exactly! If you pay for nothing you get nothing. These prices pay for: No quality standards/control, stealing designs, using cheap and potentially dangerous materials, polluting the environment, and paying overworked, rushed workers cents an hour. Oh, and you pay a profit for wish.
I think that was the point of the vid really, like... if they're free/that cheap then how good can they be?! And checking the quality/accuracy you get for those who were thinking of buying them (I'd have liked a clearer visual of what they looked like compared their listing pic too tbh). I'd never buy from wish, but I understand for some people that may be the only way they can afford things that are remotely similar and so these comparisons are useful for them. So yeah, it's very much a case of you get what you pay for, but some are better than others...that said, some of the "officially licensed" replicas are overpriced imo.
It's ridiculous that the official wands cost around 40-50£ when they are made of plastic/resin. I have ordered a few handcrafted wooden ones from etsy that cost around 30-50£ which are more realistic and have better details.
It's only logical that those cheap versions aren't exact replica's! You need money to make such quality. I think that the fake replicas weren't so bad, especially for the small amount you pay. Not everyone can afford expensive things, so this is a great solution!
Fantastic Beasts is not because it takes place so long before Harry Potter. It’s just that it takes place in the same universe which is why people think it’s the same.
Same universe, though, Rowling made Harry Potter a part of the Wizarding World, and Fantastic Beasts.. so technically it is, not the same, but the same universe.
I think the comment on the wand itself was a tad too harsh. I mean, for the price point, it wasn't that horrible of a replica. I'm sure the fact that it was bent was unluck, but the rest of the replica itself could be worked around. With a bit of repaint on the gold, it would be a perfectly reasonable prop for cosplay or just display. The imagery of it being 'tossed across the room' after the review gave off a really odd vibe to the video. I just can't help but compare the sort of negative approach to something who will never be as perfect as the real replicas to, for instance, Safiya Nygaard's approach in a similar sort of video. I do hope you don't take this as hate, rather as criticism, because I do think your videos are really good, I just got a very negative vibe out of this one...
dakingindanorf I love that you mentioned Safiya. Yes, I love watching her reviews; they are always so unbiased and well-presented, and she gives each item a fair review in a positive light even if it doesn't meet her expectations. Saf's awesome!
The purpose of this video was kind of a miss... I really love your stuff! But it's not really surprising that you can't get noble collection quality stuff for 2 pounds. I mean did you expect it to be the same quality?
I think it's quite insulting to those that don't have much to spend but still want displayable items, also wish has a fairly shaky reputation, with more effort and research on ebay you can find decent replicas. This video came across so snobby very disappointed
Zack Toman kid stfu and take a seat. It’s not hate, it’s fucking criticism. Stop being sensitive and an blind fan. People are allowed to give opinions.... if people weren’t allowed to dislike a vid, why tf is there a dislike button then? Why is there a comment section? Things aren’t sunshine and rainbows, get over it.
Honestly, that’s what a lot of Wish reviewers do, they don’t care about the products because of how cheap they are or if they were bought for a laugh, so they rough house them and throw them about and for some I think intentionally try to break them to prove the “Wish is bad!!!” narrative.
She opens something then immediately try’s to brake it and says nothing but negative things about wish items. And nothing about how they are 10x cheaper. Honestly what was the point of this video but for her to show off her licensed items. V biased and don’t think I could tolerate someone being so negative
You're a wee bit harsh with your reviews! When things are about 90% cheaper, of course they're not going to be the same quality, but most of them do a pretty good job of looking quite alike to the expensive replicas. I'd understand if you were comparing knock offs that were trying to sell them at a fairly similar price, but just seems quite harsh as is. I actually think the blood pact necklace looks better being half the size - I think the replica looks cheap because of how large it is, but of course the rest of the necklace is better since its double sided and such. To be honest, none of the wish items you shown were terrible - definitely acceptable for the price and great alternatives if you don't want to, or can't pay the full price. Although perhaps not the egg as it is quite expensive and broke immediately.
I wouldn't say you can be anything but harsh on aliexpress sellers as they make these ILLEGALY. She is showing this to real collectors as these are advertised as real replicas, which they aren't and would certainly be a money waste to people who collect these.
@@xXxIMNOTANGELxXx Outwith the legal element and just basing it on likeness and the price for the comparative likeness I think its was quite harsh. Like naturally quality goes down with price, but some of the items were pretty good for the price of them compared to the items which are official but 10x+ the price.
@@SpellsAndStitchesAgain, she was comparing it to the REAL replicas for a reason. And that reason was to show that if you are a serious collector "you get what you pay for". If she was comparing it to random HP related wearables she'd probably wouldn't be that harsh but collectibles are more than wearables and you want them to have some value and to last longer than one opening. Fake colletibles have literally zero value. It's just money wasted. But the real ones can get higher in price with years when they are not made anymore and collectors will look for them. Nobody will look for a pendant for 2 dollars made by a dying child, sorry.
@@DezzyMoons We are all dying is that too harsh too? Except kids who work in these factories are most often than not in contact with chemicals or don't have the proper gear to work with chemicals. They definitely are dying at a faster rate than us. Not sure what your fucking point is but ok.
@@xXxIMNOTANGELxXx I get what you're saying, but usually people buying items from wish are doing so because they can't afford the replica's and are not looking for the item to hold monetary value, but want them for their own enjoyment and just to look similar to the item - in which case I think pretty much all of the items do that. Obviously from a collectors point of view, the official items are superior, i'm definitely not disputing that. Just saying, all the fake replicas do a reasonable job for the price they are and I just think the tone of the video could of been different. In almost every instance the official and more expensive version of items are better, so in that case it was almost pointless to make the video - unless to show those who can't afford the real products, and are looking for a reasonable substitute.
I kinda wish Cherry mentioned the price of the SHIPPING for these items... I get that some people cant afford the official merchandise but sometimes the shipping costs are like $5 or more thus increasing the price for each item... (making a $1 item become $6) sometimes you cant lump together the items in one package so you pay for shipping per item (just a small warning for all of you who want to get these items) - but Cherry did mention that it took a month for the items to come in, which seems to be the average shipping time for Wish
Yeah, and i would buy them from wish! Not everyone has a lot of money to buy the expensive replicas, and I'm a huge can, i'd totally buy the grindelwald pendant since it's really pretty.
I've bought the Gringotts coins from wish as decoration for my HP themed Christmas party last year. I bought 10 packets bc I have a Niffler plushie and I wanted them to be scattered around him. It looked pretty cool. I was very happy with them :)
Cherry Wallis Definitely recommend! I loved it so much I've got him like that on my shelf as well, with the coins. He's also holding my Deathly Hallows necklace and my Snitch bracelet is hanging out of his pouch so it's actually a good jewelry display as well 😜
I honestly don’t know why people are being so...aggressive? Like, I know she’s showing favouritism towards the noble collection pieces, but what can you expect? If she’s used to seeing the exact replicas of the movie items, she DEFINITELY will prefer the noble collection pieces. I get that some people can’t afford the noble collections, and what she’s saying is IF you have the money to buy the noble collection pieces, go for that and not the wish ones.
I actually liked the wish Slytherin locket more than the expensive version. The wish version is actually green on the outside, while the expensive one is mostly amber-y in color (or at least looked that way on camera); also the magnets work fine for opening and closing, and once there are any pictures inside the locket nobody would be able to tell there're no green velvet fabric. Overall a beautiful piece and the price is great. I'd say for this specific case, the only pro the expensive version has over the Wish version is the display case, which despite nice is not the point of the product. One could buy a fancy little box/hanger for $2-or-so separately if they want to display it, and it'd be about the same.
Emeralds. Green gemstones are emeralds. The difference in the way you treat the wish items and your collections is very different and probably the reason they break as easily. It feels also like you went into this with a mindset of just hatting on the wish items and showing off your expensive collection. I don't blame you as I am a collector too (although I am a Star wars collector), but damn, the tone of the videdo is very snobbish and the smirks while opening the wish items do not help the case.
and the youtuber is damn rude to condemn cheap items that were probably made by a child that’s forced to work but i don’t see you saying anything about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Always check the shipping price when it says it's free and compare it to one of the cheaper products because they will normally equal the same price for total sale.
Kinda disappointed that she didn’t think that some people have these items and love them and she is just roasting them and kinda being a little mean about it in my country 1 dollar transforms into 7bucks so I can’t go splurging 130 dollars in a diadem or 50 to 80 dollars for a wand that is just dumb if I can get one that looks pretty good for 7 dollars I’m going to take that route so yeah if you have the money to splurge 130 dollars on a replica of a thing in a movie go ahead but don’t bash people that buy these or don’t bash the product themselves since someone took the time to make it
“Someone took the time to make it,” yeah exactly! Only, it wasn’t the criminals that are stealing other people’s design and making them from harmful materials that don’t meet quality standards that you are supporting by buying the cheap knock offs! By all means, get on places like Etsy and buy good quality, affordable original designs from people, but buying things from Wish, you are just funding criminals, scammers and sweat shops.
@@pauliedoodle1939 i get where you are coming from and yes there can be products made from very harmful materials but you can always check the reviews (if the product doesn’t have any sales that is a red flag that you should take in count) and if the reviews are good I think you should buy it I just had an issue with the fact that she is beating really mean to items that cost less just because they are “fake” doesn’t mean that they are bad and as I said some people can’t splurge 130 dollars on a diadem so if they can get one for 30 that looks fine they are going to buy that one
Your replica horcrux is still not "the" horcrux ring. Because as you said, it is not wearable. Whats the point of a replica from something that is meant to be worn but you cant wear?I totally understand that your collection is far more "real" and that you show it as comparison, because thats exactly the point of compare something.But you tend to be a bit overboard with "This is so magical, this is so pretty, this is so precious, etc etc". That makes the whole compare thing very, very biased and not much to watch.(And yeah, when you try to force open the nobles replica will break too. Maybe not as easy, but still, never use force on something as delicate)
Natalie Whitfield of course these are collectors items. but still, a replica is a copy and nothing else. So a copy of a ring that is worn in a movie should be what? Yes, a ring that can, not must but can be worn. And not only that, worn by a 16 year old boy so the size of the "real" replica is even more absurd. It may be a more imposing ring, but that makes it not a good replica. If you go and change (major) details than you cant name the result a replica, because it simply is not a copy anymore. You see, when she sows us the diadem she talks about how you can actually wear the "real" replica and not the fake one. But when it comes to the ring, she totally forget that because she is bedazzled from all that "real real real!" stuff. i do like her collection! i just dont like illogical reasoning.
This is my first video I have watched from you and I have to say, I did not care for the tone in your voice. I dont know you personally but this video made you appear snobby. Your intent was not to degrade anyone, I know that. But the way you reviewed the items I could definitely see someone feeling pretty bad for not being able to afford the "real thing". You have pretty much described all the Wish items as rubbish. Hopefully you take the time to review your future videos. You are free to do your videos your own way, but people are always free to critisize you as well. Also thought it was a bit unfair to mention avout the display cases for the real replicas. Of course if you pay under 2 usd for something, its not coming with a damn display case.
Happily agreed. I personally don’t like these snobby ass fans in some fandoms about merch, I mean fucking come on you bought it under $2, it’s obviously not going to look absolutely perfect.
You do know that she can post whatever she wants right? And just because she states her opinion you immediately get upset at her because of it. Yeah, some people can't afford the real one, but she never said you HAVE to buy it, she literally recommended it.
@@wetsocks1237 I did state she can make the videos she wants to make, but people are going to critisize her if something doesnt sit well with them. This time it just happened to be the snobby attitude that she gave off for this specific video. She chooses to make videos for the public, the public will give her feed back. If she didnt want feedback then her comments would disabled for all videos she makes. I dont attack her as a person, but I do make judgement on this specific video. Im sure shes lovely, but this video doesnt exactly display that.
It isn't fake if they don't claim to be Nobel Collection. They offer cheaper alternatives for those of us who can't afford the more expensive replicas. Also, Wish is cheap because it's where unsellable products go. The businesses know they can't make a profit, but they at least want something. Even if it's just a pound. It's hard for smaller businesses to compete with collosal ones like Nobel Collection.
Didn't really care for the vibe of this video. It's cheap replicas so they obviously won't compare to the nobel collections. personly I thought they looked better than expected for those prices.
xDreamerNadi I didn’t like the vibe either bashing something at a extremely reasonable price for what you received in return isn’t fun. That’s like calling being unnecessarily negative fun. A lot of wish stuff from videos that review items comes in as something 100% not even the item listed. They look pretty good for the prices and for the most part were similar to the listing. Really biased and I feel like no matter what came in the mail she would have been unhappy. She kept saying she didn’t HATE the items but seems like she was dissatisfied each time but at that price point she couldn’t reasonably expect a perfect dupe for a licensed replica lol.
8:51 of course the quality will not be very good considering it was like $7. Also if you are rough with the real replica it can break too you know, but i am sure you wont be picking at the gems and bending the real replica in half roughly considering it cost you around $150, will you?
She means to say it in a way that the "real replicas" are the ones that are licenced and are the original product in respect to the movies but the "fake replicas" are not licenced and are fake in respect to the movie. As they can't litterally have the props
The timer turner from wish is basically the same as from the Harry Potter studios. I mean the key ring of it , which is pretty good. The key ring from there doesn’t spin and it’s bigger than the necklace should be.
Cherry, just to let you know, when you were looking up the 'gringotts coins' at 4:38, there is a coin listed under a cussword with a rather graphic image on it in the upper left corner. I don't want you to get demonitized so you might want edit it out or sensor it. I'm a huge fan of yours so I don't want you to get complaints from parents.
The replicas aren’t all that bad in total honesty. Not everyone could afford to spend so much on the real products, so they’d make decent displays until having that privilege.
“Another case of you get what you pay for.” Yes indeed. You got what you pay for. Everyone knows Wish items are not always the best or even worth all the money. But, here we are buying from the store.
I buy my replicas from wish to put on my xmas tree. I try to make sure I choose things that other users have posted photos. I figure since I am putting them on my tree, they dont need to be good quality, just aesthetically pleasing.
For the quality you get for Harry Potter products, they are way too overpriced. I got to a point where I’m not in love with Harry Potter anymore. It is so over merchandised and they just dragged all the magic out of it for me.
You're correct. I gave a neighbor of mine a Time Turner for Christmas which she enjoyed very much, saying she would wear it with her dark blue, velvet dress. About three months later, I ran into her wearing that same dress, but not the Time Turner. When I asked her about it, she lowered her head and answered she didn't wish to wear it in public, because her own sister had been a victim of a mugging, her gold chain had been snatched from her neck, injuring her in the process. I told her I understood, and I saw her wearing it during a New Year's party. Now, that I know about Wish, I'll let her know where she can obtain a knock-off and not even worry about it being snatched, because she can always obtain another one.
In my opinion I would buy the fake because then I could wear it and maybe save up for the real ones and put them on display. After paying all that money for the real ones I would feel horrible if anything happen to it. There is nothing wrong with the fake.
Some wizards and witches are sending me howlers!
Just to be ultra clear: this video was purely a comparison between replicas sold by websites like Wish, and reputable retailers licensed by Harry Potter.
It was certainly not a dig at people who can or can’t afford certain things - that is not what I’m about. I’m a Hufflepuff at heart under my Gryffindorness.
Point being: I hope you enjoy this video for what it was meant to be, a little bit of fun looking at the differences.
Lumos ♥️✨⚡️
Cherry Wallis . There was just a general bad vibe , some people can only afford WISH prices and then there’s you throwing a wand across the room because it dosent meet your standards ? Felt a bit off that’s all
I enjoyed it...I didn't think you did anything wrong...I was very happy to see the difference so I would know what to expect if I ordered from Wish...which I have been thinking about...the pictures they show look deceiving which now I see that mostly they are...not that I still wouldn't if I was looking for something specific for a purpose! Thanks ...
I'm glad you did this video. I'd rather see what the wish version looks like before wasting money it. Tbh I don't think people are being very fair to you. You clearly said at the start you were just comparing them to the real ones. I enjoy your videos
I am surprised at how some people took this video because I didn't see anything wrong while watching it. As a fan of not just HP but alot of other stories, having a really good replica means alot. Just looking at them gives so much joy to your day. I don't know but even the sight of my books make me excited. As a fan, I don't consider my collections as "toys" because I cherish and love them, so I want them protected, which is the point of getting a really good quality version.
I agree that it seemed judgmental, especially when you get a lot of the “real” replicas for free. The rest of us aren’t so lucky.
Cherry:I don’t know why you would want pink in the middle.
Umbridge: 👁👄👁
Hey Draco! Are you gonna tell your father about this vid?

Wow
underrated comment. 10 points to slytherin.
Draco Malfoy hi hufflepuff here!
Regarding the real slytherin locket, I bought mine at Noble collection in London, second time I opened the display box at home the chain broke. So the real replicas do no always have great quality as well ;)
They have amazing return policies though! The best I've ever dealt with.
Well they're mass produced with not horrible but not amazing quality materials good enough to last then they sell them to people over priced af bc its by the licenced company
I feel like the real replicas are just meant to sit in their cases and look pretty which I think is a shame
Rosan Verbraak my original wand broke too ;))
@Koolkat Koolkat i used to have a licensed one as well as a child and it did stop spinning smoothly shortly to the point of being able to detach from its axis so yeah the display box was still beautiful tho hahaha
i got anxiety when she started to try bending the 170 dollar piece
TheICEgirl6100 me too! Girl’s trying to give us a heart attack! 😂
Same! I was like " ahhh!! Shes gonna break it!! Stop now before you regret it!!!" 😧

Ha ha lol. So true

LOL no
I was scared where you were taking this
In fact, the "fake" timeturner looks a lot more like the one in the harry potter films. The size and also the colour of the sand, plus the fact that the words are engraved in it do make it more alike to the real real one. Of course, the quality of the real replica (which I own) is amazing, but the words are just printed on and that makes it look a bit cheap. I've also thought for a while that it would've been nice if nobel collection had really tried to reproduce Hermione's one, just like the makers of the one from wish did.
(Edit: the chain is also more similar to the one in the films)
I also noticed the gems of the noble collection diadem look more greenish
To me the knock off diadem's gems looked more color-accurate
Lol my 'real' timeturner broke just a few days after I bought it... I was so disappointed!
I don't own the time turner necklace, but I have the key chain, which I bought at the HP Studios. The key chains are actually quite similar to the fake necklace and also don't turn by the handles. Needless to say, I'm still quite happy with it and keep it displayed at home, so that nothing happens to it. ☺
Some people wanna just be elitist and show off and letting their heads be clouded by the merch businesses than actually appreciating the fiction's universe. What's canon is what's in the literature, books, movies, etc, not a freaking company buying a license then selling everything ten times more expensive. Like, supporting the original creators is one thing, dissing things through price & capitalism-based prejudice is another.
@@MoonOffSpringC omg I thought I was the only one who noticed it
I prefer the cheap grindawalds (excuse my spelling) it’s small and you can wear it normally. The other is abit too big
Yeah, i was thinking the same. And its Grindelwald.
I personally like the original one, but that's your opinion and I'm glad you're not being rude about it like some other people are
@@kirakoz.9739 yeah
Stripey Llama Man I think the cheap one is nicer and the real one is WAY to big too.

Oh jeez I just realized it 😂
Lol I saw it and came to comments and only saw this comment XD
I did and took a screenshot, as well as the tshirt later on xD
Oh GOOD i was worry I was the only one to notice😂😂
Yes
Am I the only one who was actually encouraged to go check wish for HP items by this video? They look fine to me.
Nah. I would do it too. These are a lot better for cosplay or just wearing around without worrying about breaking your expensive HP stuff. They look fine to me too
Not at all! I’m thinking about snagging some for my kiddos!
I'm actually really impressed especially with the diadem and ring
Exactly. The pendant charm necklace was maybe too little, but it was really nice engraved and you could immediately see what it was.
I think they're good if you can't afford the real ones but still want to feel like you own them in a way. For the prices you're paying, you can't really expect the quality to be that great. I'm sure many people would be happy to own some of these items.
I have the "fake" Time Turner and it is hanging from my rearview mirror in my car. I would never use an authentic replica that way, but the knockoff is perfect for that kind of thing. I also bought several sets of the coins and put them all into a nice little pouch. Again, you would never use the Noble Collection coins that way for fear of losing them or scratching them up, but a bag full of wizard coins for your cosplay is great at the knockoff price.
If you want a cheap wand that's magical... Do like I did. I went out in my backyard and trimmed a small branch off my pear tree, measured it to 10 inches and peeled the bark off and decorated it with a wrapped leather hand grip and a decorative snake to represent my house. Made it to my exact Pottermore specs.
shenronrulez wholesome
Yours is the true canon, good Sir.
That's beautiful (minus the leather, in my opinion, as I'm personally against the use of real animal skin). I use a beaver stick that I found on the beach at my cottage.
shenronrulez oh my god I thought I was the only one who actually made her own wand by using a branch from the university backyard 😂😂
i make my own too! it's so fun
Use the crappy replicas and decorate a mini harry potter themed Christmas tree! Get a few more little wish trinkets to fill it out. That would be super cute
i might just do this
that's such a good idea
YASSSS
Cool idea
Great idea
I really liked the fake Grindelwald pendant. Obviously the replica is way better quality and more detailed but I think the fake makes for a better size if you actually want to wear it regularly
Edit: Also the ring seems to be exactly what someone buying it would expect. Because it’s a piece of jewelry I imagine most people would like to wear it at least sometimes, so in that regard I think the one from which might be a little better. If you were to get a replica from wish and it turned out to be the same size as the real one, but the person was expecting to be able to wear it they would be very disappointed
Overall, the copies seem good for cosplay or kids - easily replaced if something happens to them. If you're a serious collector it's probably best to treat yourself & go legit. x
To be fair serious cosplayers wouldn’t quickly settle for this quality either 😂
@@voidsassin7607 well a serious cosplayer probably wouldn't spend 40+ dollars on a piece of a cosplay that they're gonna take to a con. Cosplay is already expensive just with the costume pieces let alone accessories
@@voidsassin7607 serious cosplayers would make the accessories themselves.
@@Spudsbottom that too. What I kinda wanted to get across is that cosplay is not as costumy as people perceive it to be, mostly
@@voidsassin7607 true. But no one shells out 40-100+ dollars on an accessory to a cosplay even professional cosplayers. While diy is probably the more common route buying cheap replicas is also an acceptable option. The more expensive replicas are really for display purposes rather than cosplay
The exaggeration in this video is a bit OTT. I think considering these things were literally £1 all of them were pretty good! the Grindelwald necklace was really cute!
Yep, and the replicas aren't fake either :I they're just unlicensed
I don't find her OTT. She is providing entertainment. I would by the unlicensed version for children to play with.
Maybe to you, but this is coming from someone who has vastly different values and is actually willing to pay real replica price -- and HAS. She's just comparing them to the real ones, and she does say that most of them are worth the price you pay. They're just not as great as the more expensive ones. Which should be obvious to anyone anyway.
I think your right but don't get me rong I love cherry but I think some of the things there are actually still pretty good for the price like the grindelwald necklace and by the way great T-shirt cherry😄
Probably she was on her period
You can’t expect any merch to be perfect, realistically. As a teenager I bought (well, begged my parents for) the Noble Collection time turner and Hermione’s Wand (at different times and I know I’m privileged just to have gotten them, things like that were a rarity for me but still). Anyway, my time turner broke the first week I had it, because I wanted to wear it and I was dancing with it on and one of the dials flew off, and I never found it. Also, on my Hermione wand, you can see the end of the metal core poking out at the tip of the wand, they just painted over it but it ends flat instead of in a point. These are the official items, and they still aren’t the be-all end-all perfection you expect. So I understand most fans wanting to buy cheaper versions that still look pretty good and magical to the non-collector’s eye (even though I’d rather look on Etsy or somewhere where I know the creator of the piece is getting fairly compensated). At the end of the day, you should only spend money on these kinds of things if they make you happy, and they can still make you happy even if they’re a non-official version that sells for a price more within your budget. I just think it’s important to mention that the expensive Noble Collection pieces have flaws too. Your representation of them as perfect did bother me for that reason. Imperfect merch at any price point is still equally magical because it still connects us to the story we all love.
well said :)
This video just convinced me not to bother with the “real” replicas lol the “fake” look amazing and I won’t break the bank.
Danae Goliath Exactly.
The best part is her Queeny wand isn't technically an "official" replica, it's from the Noble collection. Which though the Nobel collection is still good and most of the items are officially licenced, a large number of the wands from the noble collection are the wrong sizes.
Ι already have most of these "fake ones" I wear them a lot and I love them! They are great (mine are from ebay)
wont bread the bank but they would break
mus mus They’re mostly just shelf decoration, no reason they’d break.
I feel like these would all be good cheap options for if you needed items for a costume.
It depends. I've bought several of these items, and some of the wands are atrociously different to what they're trying to replicate. I bought Harry's wand, for instance, and it was painted in purple for some reason. Shape was right, but the whole thing had a purple wash over it. I didn't end up using it.
The fake time turner looks more like the movie version than the noble collection one.
It looks better since the words are engraved
Léa I. I got the noble collectors one and the words wore off within days I was so mad
@@pterodactyl6577 I don't know you, I don't know where you live on this Earth, but if I was next to you I'd hug you because that sounds really upsetting
I have the time turner from the noble collection and I find it to be a bit bigger than I expected. I'm not a fan of it
I have the fake one and it's amazing definitely recommend I got mine from eBay tho
I have one like it
Oh my God! I remember when i bought a time turner on wish, and i was so happy, but i never even thought that somwhere there are a real time turner which spins like in a movie, i just need that in my life, i love yours so much. I hope i will be able to afford that one day. And the egg also! Thank you for showing your magical replicas 😍
the wish ones are MUCH better for your money. I mean touch up the wand with some DIY paint if you want. Cute stuff, no need to go broke for it though. I mean for the price of the Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem you would want much nicer crystals in my opinion. The Noble collection is greedy as hell.
I think it really depends on what your priorities are
If your an avid collector of this stuff then maybe save up and splash out a little more for something that you really want for your collection
If your doing a cosplay then maybe don't break your bank and go with wish both do it just like I said depends what your priorities are and if you can afford it
They are a bit, I’ve got the deathly hallows ring and the it display case is cheaply made and the gem is plastic 😩
@@Matty442 You are = you're, not your.
Yeah, theyre much better if you dont mind supporting sweatshops ;)
Sure the wish ones are better for your money. But you've no idea of what they're made out off or under what circumstances they were produced. On the less bad end of the spectrum they might be made with not so nice materials in a way that isn't great for the environment, on the worse end of the spectrum they might be produced with chemicals not approved by the EU or the FDA, and in a sweatshop, or with child labour.
It's a "real replica" an oxymoron?
The "real" ones are just licensed
Ye good point
@white sparrow how is that rude? Are you actually going through all of the comments containing criticism and bitching in the replies?
Grow up, kiddo.
@@EllaMBV real replicas are the replicas of the trinkets in Harry Potter. The wish replica are the replica of the replica.

honestly even the "official" replicas look pretty cheap to me, aside from the packaging
Thanks! My thoughts exactly. I dont know if you have seen them in an actual store or not, but they truly are. I was hyped to buy a Time turner form the merch store on a HP exhibition one or two years ago.... I quickly changed my mind
Alex Perkins
Could you please elaborate on this?
@@Kitty-mb4hy The official replicas look very plastic. For example, the wand close-ups at 11:38 make the shell on the handle appear... very fake. Additionally, the gold just above it looks like it was spray-painted a gold/brass shade. I have no problem with fake metals or shells, but if you're paying such a large amount of money for it, they should at least approximate the real thing.
Alex Perkins
Thank you.
Also my problem with it is that she talks about them as if they're real - as if she's managed to track down and purchase the real lost diadem of Ravenclaw or as if the little glass stones are actual diamonds etc. These are replicas of the props which were imagined by the people in the art department of the movie production based on their description in the books. They're not always 100% right either. As one commenter said, if you want an authentic wand, you're better off carving something out of a tree😅
A lot of People cant afford the “official” stuff, and it hurts us to see the People Who Can afford it, calling the things we Can afford “fake” beacuse in my opinion, all of it is real. Its not the material that matters, But the magic we see in it.
Agreed! My only “official” item is a marauders map I got on eBay. It’s really difficult to get replicas in Australia because the shipping cripples you.
Official means the one that the harry potter company makes and the fake is the one that random people that make it.
She’s just comparing them and saying what ones she prefers in personal opinion
Good said, and you're right
I think you are trying too hard to get offended. I didn't think she was disrespectful, she was just being honest and most of Wish items were trash except maybe the Slytherin locket and the Time Turner.
I just feel like you were really dissing the “cheaper” versions. Yeah they weren’t licensed replicas but some people can’t afford to spend 50$ on one item like that and these more inexpensive magical items can change someone’s whole day when they add it to their magical collection.
Ashley Cates she’s not dissing, she’s comparing. i can’t afford the real replica but i still wouldn’t give a dollar to get a fake replica that would break so quickly
She said herself that they were okay considering the really cheap pricing, so she's not dissing anything. If you're going to be paying for something, whether it's 50$ or the 1$ fake, you might as well know what you're getting into. All she's doing is comparing them and going in depth about the quality. If you as the customer decide you don't care that the cheaper diadem doesn't have an intricate backing, then that's on you and you're free to purchase it, but at least you know what to expect.
She is a collector if she wants to buy a GOOD QUALITY replica then she can it makes her happy
Bultaoreune She dissed literally every single wish item the second she laid eyes on it, dissing every aspect of it before going to "This beeuuuuutiful real one"
They both look pretty much the same.
Also:You cant have fake replicas,a replica IS fake.
I Think By Fake She Ment That The Product Isn't Licenced By The Company Of Harry Potter, Though You Are Correct All Replicas Aren't 100% Percent Real.
@shaine de gret Yep, then she should say unlicensed
Hi
She means the real made by the actual company and the counterfeit one made by random companies like wish. Like “fake” Mac lipsticks and real ones.
@@EllaMBV People have their own idioms. My in-laws say "extree" instead of "extra". I wish they would say extra but it's really none of my business. It's their idiom -- not mine, so I just accept it. This video is Cherry's view on things and Cherry's termonology. She doesn't talk that way to offend and I can't figure out why so many people want to criticize her way of talking -- if she were trying to sell an item I would say "yes, she should say unlicensed" but this youtube video is mostly for entertainment. Per Google: "An idiom is a word or phrase which means something different from its literal meaning. Idioms are common phrases or terms whose meaning is changed, but can be understood by their popular use."

You continually talked about "value for money" and just considering that, you can't deny that at wish you do get what you pay for.
The 1£ galleons are great value for 1£. That should have been the point of this review.
You're never gonna get 100£ value for 1£, but you could have compared expensive to cheap and reasonably considered the differences in pricing and "value for money".
That is a good idea for a next video. So in the end she can have two videos: 1. The differencea between de ‘fake’ and ‘real’ replicas and 2. The price quality of the items (either ‘real’ or ‘fake’)
Ka eL the only thing that disturbed me about this comment is the fact that you wrote it like 1£, I know it’s confusing but it’s actually £1

Me! So these hate comments can be gone, it's heart breaking to read them.
You can call it what you like they are all fakes
I'd just like to point out that Wish gets its products from China where manufacturing largely consists of people working 11 hours a day for wages that are too low to live on. Furthermore, many Chinese factories employ children and teens, which is all to say that the reason these things are so cheap is that they're made using the lowest paid labor possible. I'm not saying you can't buy cheap replicas because the noble collection can be expensive. But Wish is just as unethical to labor as using bubble wrap packaging in a subscription box is to the environment. There are lots of Etsy sellers and artists who make these kinds of things more affordably and it helps support small business. Just putting that out there for the world.
Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. Also, let's not produce more waste by buying poor quality products that will soon end up in the bin.
True words.
I don't know so I'm genuinely asking, do you know that where Noble Collection sources and manufactures their products from? It's likely China also - although I'd be happy to be proven wrong. My biggest complaint with Noble Collection is that for the price, I find a lot of their items just as cheaply made with inconsistent paint jobs (especially the wands).
@@GnipMuffin Sorry this is a long answer, but it's a great question because this is the reason I've stopped purchasing Noble Collection items for more than a year now.
The short answer is yes they manufacture in China too, and then distribute from a number of European countries including Belgium. They have obviously some level of quality control over their products in whichever factory lines they own in China, these are then divided into 3 categories - the ones ready for selling in official shops, the ones with more significant defects that are sold for cheap usually not making it into the e.g. US/UK/EU markets, but entirely available with some connections or access to the factories, and the last category where they are trashed. The paint jobs that are inconsistent obviously still passes the standard threshold they have set for their factories.
Long answer (you can skip): The company's been around for more than two decades, from what I can tell, the parent company is literally Noble Collection located in Virginia, U.S.A. Because it's still a private limited company not on any stock market that I could find (I would love it if someone finds contradicting evidence because I really had trouble uncovering this company), I was not able to dig out any publicly available annual reports. This includes both financial reports and CSR reports. Clearly they would have had to submit their financial reports to the governments in US and UK even if done so privately, but any company not publicly listed is likely to not have a CSR report.
This means they are not likely to be held publicly accountable for any unethical manufacturing and hiring processes, and thus their operations are UNLIKELY to follow UN Global Compact standards, ISO 9001/ ISO 14001, and OHSAS. They don't need to pay their workers well or give them good standards of living in China factories. This is the case for actually many companies whose products we purchase that were originally made in China. That being said I don't think we need to simply write off Noble Collection as a company (the debate of divestment vs. engagement). I think we can always email the company, email the president (Bassem Khoury I believe?) to engage them - tell them we are responsible consumers who care about these issues and would like them to produce some assurances and evidence to that effect. That would be a win-win course of action.
I love long answers! Thanks doing some research - before posting I had checked their website to see whether they mentioned "made in ____" but otherwise wouldn't know how or what to look for.
While I agree that unregulated and "Made in China" doesn't automatically mean bad working conditions or low wages, I guess my point was that higher cost items, and the illusion of better quality (packaging does wonders) items doesn't necessarily equate to better working conditions either. It is my [limited] understanding that a lot of designer clothes and accessories are made this way as well with just a much bigger mark-up due to brand recognition. Though sites like wish are more obviously linked to such practices, it's the more well known, "reputable", expensive brands that get a pass from the public - if you are going to scold wish, I think the responsible thing is to look into every company you are buying from (even though that isn't always as easy as it sounds).
It does surprise me to learn that it's based in Virginia though, considering it seems like the Noble Collection UK gets items first (unless those are separate companies).
Okay, I don’t want to sound mean, but, my parents are financially stable, my mom does AirBnb and my dad runs a furniture manufacturing company. But with lockdown and quarantine, things have been quite bad for us. I don’t really want to go spend almost $70 on 3 coins, I may as well use a few cents and imagine that they are the gringots coins, or $130 on the diademe (that’s 100% spelled wrong), the Slytheryn locket from wish honestly isn’t that bad, compared to the real one. The Wish items, although they are not the official replicas, they still hold magic within them. Back when we were financially stable, my dad got me the official replica of the elder wand, and I was stupid enough to give it away. I felt horrible because I know that I’m probably never gonna get another one. I feel like Cherry was being a little harsh with her choice of words. Like I said before, this is not hate and I’m not trying to be mean. I just wanted to state something. (I’m sorry, I know there are a lot of spelling errors)
I hope you and your parents financial situation gets better really soon, sending much love and support your way 🙏🏻💞♥️
@@Sophie-gn8jw Thx u
Agree
I was OK with the video until she ripped and just ruined the wand box. Like no one forced her to rip it if she just had been more careful it wouldn't have been that ruined. Yeah the packaging wasn't the best thought out on their part but what can you expect for such a price?? I wish she treated the wish items as nicely as she treats her replicas. She literally just snapped that egg in half too, like the replica would snap the same if the same force was used :/
I noticed she did bent it a bit to rough, I was thinking yea, if I tried to force it open it would break as well and it did. I get stuff off of Wish all the time (No replicas or anything like that) but what I have order has worked or looked pretty good for the price I've paid. I would never expect perfect things I order off of wish, I just make sure its what I ordered and if its not, I take a photo and send it to wish, and they give me my money back. To me she already had it set in her mind that she wasn't going to like anything that she got off of wish, not matter if it looked good or not, there was going to be something wrong with it.
Agreed. And throwing the wand away like that? Almost physically hurt my heart
white sparrow stfu kid. You’re writing the same thing on all the comments. You can’t even read. You’re just saying random shit.
Amy Nguyen please leave white sparrow alone.
The plastic was GLUED to the box. There was almost no way for her to get it off without ripping the box or leaving some plastic on. And she’s obviously not going to treat something that’s two dollars the same as something that cost hundreds. Would you treat a pencil the same as a diamond necklace?
The smirk everytime you opened the wish packages, girl this really ain't it.
bruna pinheiro i thought I was the only one who noticed it
can I be your boyfriend, can I ? ;)
Kaching kaching, kaching kaching,
i liked the video a lot until the comment and smirk at 29:14
Yeah her condescending attitude towards the wish items was so uncomfortable to watch
Like,,, what’d you expect?
The wand didn't seem too bad, I would repaint the black design on the handle if I owned this wand
It was bent though
*Every wand is Bellatrix's wand, it's bended.*
I mean not every precious stone is a diamond but go off i guess
Lmao I'm pretty sure they're not even meant to be diamonds. I might be remembering it wrong, but the gems sets in the diadem were meant to be sapphires or something.
Just continue to buy expensive, branded real replicas already. Give the fake replicas a break. If she treated them with care like how she treats her originals, they probably won’t break so easily.
Prissy Missy omg this video was all in good fun stop taking it to seriously
Ive bought some stuff from wish before. And they really do break THAT easily.
I noticed... I treat everything "fake" or "real replica" the same... Maybe that's why my fakes are all in one piece! (real replica... Shouldn't it be "official replica"?)
I have a bunch of replicas from AliExpress and they haven't broken yet. Some of them have around 2 years of regular use! Of course they aren't perfect or as good as licensed products, but for under 1€ I didn't expect them to be great

Same :’)
I think the wand actually looks really nice :o.
this video made me quite sad to watch, I loved all the wish items she pulled out, but the tone of voice and the snobbish nature towards them was as if they didn’t matter! They are perfect Harry Potter memorabilia for someone who can’t afford to drop $50 on a necklace!
Kenni Lee Price I agree. I mean I’m a thirteen year old kid that likes Harry Potter but I’m not going to spent so much money for stuff that I can just get much cheaper. Even though the cheaper version may not be as ‘’good’’ as the more expensive version I would still like it and get it.
I agree. She didn't appreciate them, like the wand, it was just stunning, a little bit of work and it looks just the same.
Amida Rebel honestly I agree I bought my own bunch of Harry Potter stuff on wish and it just makes me mad she’s smashing it but hey good price shit is better in the end
@@amidar6634 I agree. The wand in particular could have been fixed very easily and cheaply.
@Anime with Garielle What are you Saying??
You're obviously not attacking people who're shopping from wish. And I understand what this video was meant to be, the execution of it just left a lot to be desired. Your overall tone; you came off kinda snobbish and condescending. Overall there was just a lot of negativity in this video.. This was also the very first video I've seen of you, so this doesn't really make you very likable in my books, and I do not mean this as a personal attack! Hope you don't perceive it like that, I am a firm believer of constructive feedback, & this is just how you come across in this video. Also, you were obviously biased from the very beginning, which is understandable of course, your personal collection is dear to you! Other than that it was really quite interesting to see real vs fake harry potter products I personally don't shop or buy from wish so I didn't really know that they had stuff like this.
This summed up my thoughts perfectly, thank you!
I was feeling the same way

Exactly this!
I think you're being a little too harsh considering the prices of these items from Wish. You can literally get some of this things for free and they are amazingly good made considering those prices and you talk about them like they are complete rubbish.
Yeah that's what I was thinking as well
They aren’t actually free, they’re just listed as free. When you try to order them it suddenly has a price.
@@izzie9402 yeah but still, they are super inexpensive.

Please don't forget that some of the Wish items broke immediately and if something breaks immediately it is unfortunately rubbish.
Hilarious that she just casually snapped the shell off the wish golden egg, I'd love to see her treat her "real replica" like that! 🙄😅
I mean if you would stop crushing the packages and opening everything so roughly, they probably wouldn't be bent..

Just wanted to say, your top perfectly describes your correct opinion on gobstone alley and I'm definitely here for it hehe
🙈 I was waiting for a comment like this!
me the whole video: WHAT DID U EXPECT U PAYED 1 POUND FOR IT
Exactly! If you pay for nothing you get nothing. These prices pay for: No quality standards/control, stealing designs, using cheap and potentially dangerous materials, polluting the environment, and paying overworked, rushed workers cents an hour. Oh, and you pay a profit for wish.
I think that was the point of the vid really, like... if they're free/that cheap then how good can they be?! And checking the quality/accuracy you get for those who were thinking of buying them (I'd have liked a clearer visual of what they looked like compared their listing pic too tbh). I'd never buy from wish, but I understand for some people that may be the only way they can afford things that are remotely similar and so these comparisons are useful for them. So yeah, it's very much a case of you get what you pay for, but some are better than others...that said, some of the "officially licensed" replicas are overpriced imo.
I totally thought the same
I like how she says the wish golden egg necklace is overpriced but the replicas from noble aren’t 😂
😂😂
It's ridiculous that the official wands cost around 40-50£ when they are made of plastic/resin. I have ordered a few handcrafted wooden ones from etsy that cost around 30-50£ which are more realistic and have better details.
I can’t blame her as the ones from noble are a lot better in my opinion
Well maybe because the noble are good quality
@@KhamulFan are they Etsy wands made out of correct woods as they are represented in the books?
It's only logical that those cheap versions aren't exact replica's! You need money to make such quality. I think that the fake replicas weren't so bad, especially for the small amount you pay. Not everyone can afford expensive things, so this is a great solution!
Replicas*.
Also, I can't be the only one who thinks Fantastic Beasts is NOT THE SAME as Harry Potter.... 😭😅
Fleur Habets same world different story Arcs?
Fantastic Beasts is not because it takes place so long before Harry Potter. It’s just that it takes place in the same universe which is why people think it’s the same.
Whyyy would it? It was set looong before Harry Potter. Still awesoooome
Same universe, though, Rowling made Harry Potter a part of the Wizarding World, and Fantastic Beasts.. so technically it is, not the same, but the same universe.
ye but its set before harry potter but takes place in same universe
"It's definitely recognisable as the Horcrux ring.. it's just not the Horcrux ring" I mean it is a replica and not the real one.. so..
I think the comment on the wand itself was a tad too harsh. I mean, for the price point, it wasn't that horrible of a replica. I'm sure the fact that it was bent was unluck, but the rest of the replica itself could be worked around. With a bit of repaint on the gold, it would be a perfectly reasonable prop for cosplay or just display. The imagery of it being 'tossed across the room' after the review gave off a really odd vibe to the video. I just can't help but compare the sort of negative approach to something who will never be as perfect as the real replicas to, for instance, Safiya Nygaard's approach in a similar sort of video. I do hope you don't take this as hate, rather as criticism, because I do think your videos are really good, I just got a very negative vibe out of this one...
dakingindanorf I love that you mentioned Safiya. Yes, I love watching her reviews; they are always so unbiased and well-presented, and she gives each item a fair review in a positive light even if it doesn't meet her expectations. Saf's awesome!

Hahaha that's what I thought too, like I get that this is for shits and giggles but like........ :P
She meant this video for a joke. She knew they were not going to be good but she wanted to see if there WAS one that was good.
I think it's quite insulting to those that don't have much to spend but still want displayable items, also wish has a fairly shaky reputation, with more effort and research on ebay you can find decent replicas. This video came across so snobby very disappointed

Honestly, that’s what a lot of Wish reviewers do, they don’t care about the products because of how cheap they are or if they were bought for a laugh, so they rough house them and throw them about and for some I think intentionally try to break them to prove the “Wish is bad!!!” narrative.
She opens something then immediately try’s to brake it and says nothing but negative things about wish items. And nothing about how they are 10x cheaper. Honestly what was the point of this video but for her to show off her licensed items. V biased and don’t think I could tolerate someone being so negative
@@toristanish i agree, this really felt more like a "look at all my REAL REPLICAS" than an actually informative video
You're a wee bit harsh with your reviews! When things are about 90% cheaper, of course they're not going to be the same quality, but most of them do a pretty good job of looking quite alike to the expensive replicas. I'd understand if you were comparing knock offs that were trying to sell them at a fairly similar price, but just seems quite harsh as is.
I actually think the blood pact necklace looks better being half the size - I think the replica looks cheap because of how large it is, but of course the rest of the necklace is better since its double sided and such.
To be honest, none of the wish items you shown were terrible - definitely acceptable for the price and great alternatives if you don't want to, or can't pay the full price. Although perhaps not the egg as it is quite expensive and broke immediately.
I wouldn't say you can be anything but harsh on aliexpress sellers as they make these ILLEGALY. She is showing this to real collectors as these are advertised as real replicas, which they aren't and would certainly be a money waste to people who collect these.
@@xXxIMNOTANGELxXx Outwith the legal element and just basing it on likeness and the price for the comparative likeness I think its was quite harsh. Like naturally quality goes down with price, but some of the items were pretty good for the price of them compared to the items which are official but 10x+ the price.
@@SpellsAndStitchesAgain, she was comparing it to the REAL replicas for a reason. And that reason was to show that if you are a serious collector "you get what you pay for". If she was comparing it to random HP related wearables she'd probably wouldn't be that harsh but collectibles are more than wearables and you want them to have some value and to last longer than one opening. Fake colletibles have literally zero value. It's just money wasted. But the real ones can get higher in price with years when they are not made anymore and collectors will look for them. Nobody will look for a pendant for 2 dollars made by a dying child, sorry.
@@DezzyMoons We are all dying is that too harsh too? Except kids who work in these factories are most often than not in contact with chemicals or don't have the proper gear to work with chemicals. They definitely are dying at a faster rate than us. Not sure what your fucking point is but ok.
@@xXxIMNOTANGELxXx I get what you're saying, but usually people buying items from wish are doing so because they can't afford the replica's and are not looking for the item to hold monetary value, but want them for their own enjoyment and just to look similar to the item - in which case I think pretty much all of the items do that.
Obviously from a collectors point of view, the official items are superior, i'm definitely not disputing that. Just saying, all the fake replicas do a reasonable job for the price they are and I just think the tone of the video could of been different.
In almost every instance the official and more expensive version of items are better, so in that case it was almost pointless to make the video - unless to show those who can't afford the real products, and are looking for a reasonable substitute.
The $12 Slytherin Locket from Hot Topic is great. I recommend it for those on a budget!
Ki Ki Thanks for the tip!
I kinda wish Cherry mentioned the price of the SHIPPING for these items... I get that some people cant afford the official merchandise but sometimes the shipping costs are like $5 or more thus increasing the price for each item... (making a $1 item become $6) sometimes you cant lump together the items in one package so you pay for shipping per item (just a small warning for all of you who want to get these items) - but Cherry did mention that it took a month for the items to come in, which seems to be the average shipping time for Wish
All these cheap replica were really pretty!
Yeah, and i would buy them from wish! Not everyone has a lot of money to buy the expensive replicas, and I'm a huge can, i'd totally buy the grindelwald pendant since it's really pretty.

I have a time turner that I got from wish, it's my stress reliever, I always spin it when I'm stressed
I honestly don’t know why people are being so...aggressive? Like, I know she’s showing favouritism towards the noble collection pieces, but what can you expect? If she’s used to seeing the exact replicas of the movie items, she DEFINITELY will prefer the noble collection pieces. I get that some people can’t afford the noble collections, and what she’s saying is IF you have the money to buy the noble collection pieces, go for that and not the wish ones.
THANK YOU srsly these people are getting so annoyed by cherry stating facts like if it annoys you that much stop watching
I actually liked the wish Slytherin locket more than the expensive version. The wish version is actually green on the outside, while the expensive one is mostly amber-y in color (or at least looked that way on camera); also the magnets work fine for opening and closing, and once there are any pictures inside the locket nobody would be able to tell there're no green velvet fabric. Overall a beautiful piece and the price is great.
I'd say for this specific case, the only pro the expensive version has over the Wish version is the display case, which despite nice is not the point of the product. One could buy a fancy little box/hanger for $2-or-so separately if they want to display it, and it'd be about the same.
The movie locket is amber. It's weird. The official one is more accurate to what you see on screen, the Wish one to the book.
The movie locket is not green. And book locket is gold anyway so even that isn’t green.
the real replica is what the movie one looks like i have seen the real movie prop and you can also tell in the movie
Emeralds. Green gemstones are emeralds. The difference in the way you treat the wish items and your collections is very different and probably the reason they break as easily. It feels also like you went into this with a mindset of just hatting on the wish items and showing off your expensive collection. I don't blame you as I am a collector too (although I am a Star wars collector), but damn, the tone of the videdo is very snobbish and the smirks while opening the wish items do not help the case.

Thats a whole 'nother problem it itself. If thats what your comment had been about, Id supported it 110% :)
Always check the shipping price when it says it's free and compare it to one of the cheaper products because they will normally equal the same price for total sale.
Kinda disappointed that she didn’t think that some people have these items and love them and she is just roasting them and kinda being a little mean about it in my country 1 dollar transforms into 7bucks so I can’t go splurging 130 dollars in a diadem or 50 to 80 dollars for a wand that is just dumb if I can get one that looks pretty good for 7 dollars I’m going to take that route so yeah if you have the money to splurge 130 dollars on a replica of a thing in a movie go ahead but don’t bash people that buy these or don’t bash the product themselves since someone took the time to make it
“Someone took the time to make it,” yeah exactly! Only, it wasn’t the criminals that are stealing other people’s design and making them from harmful materials that don’t meet quality standards that you are supporting by buying the cheap knock offs!
By all means, get on places like Etsy and buy good quality, affordable original designs from people, but buying things from Wish, you are just funding criminals, scammers and sweat shops.
@@pauliedoodle1939 i get where you are coming from and yes there can be products made from very harmful materials but you can always check the reviews (if the product doesn’t have any sales that is a red flag that you should take in count) and if the reviews are good I think you should buy it I just had an issue with the fact that she is beating really mean to items that cost less just because they are “fake” doesn’t mean that they are bad and as I said some people can’t splurge 130 dollars on a diadem so if they can get one for 30 that looks fine they are going to buy that one
Not everyone understands thon :(
Your replica horcrux is still not "the" horcrux ring. Because as you said, it is not wearable. Whats the point of a replica from something that is meant to be worn but you cant wear?I totally understand that your collection is far more "real" and that you show it as comparison, because thats exactly the point of compare something.But you tend to be a bit overboard with "This is so magical, this is so pretty, this is so precious, etc etc". That makes the whole compare thing very, very biased and not much to watch.(And yeah, when you try to force open the nobles replica will break too. Maybe not as easy, but still, never use force on something as delicate)
VioletPapillon yes but these are collectors items and are not made for practical reasons. But I see where you are coming from.
Natalie Whitfield of course these are collectors items. but still, a replica is a copy and nothing else. So a copy of a ring that is worn in a movie should be what? Yes, a ring that can, not must but can be worn. And not only that, worn by a 16 year old boy so the size of the "real" replica is even more absurd.
It may be a more imposing ring, but that makes it not a good replica. If you go and change (major) details than you cant name the result a replica, because it simply is not a copy anymore.
You see, when she sows us the diadem she talks about how you can actually wear the "real" replica and not the fake one. But when it comes to the ring, she totally forget that because she is bedazzled from all that "real real real!" stuff.
i do like her collection! i just dont like illogical reasoning.
VioletPapillon you’re right
It IS the actual replica. You forget it’s a man’s ring in the books and films which is why it’s too big for a woman to wear.
It's not meant to be worn it's a display item! Jeez girl do your research before you make yourself look stupid
This is my first video I have watched from you and I have to say, I did not care for the tone in your voice.
I dont know you personally but this video made you appear snobby. Your intent was not to degrade anyone, I know that. But the way you reviewed the items I could definitely see someone feeling pretty bad for not being able to afford the "real thing". You have pretty much described all the Wish items as rubbish. Hopefully you take the time to review your future videos. You are free to do your videos your own way, but people are always free to critisize you as well.
Also thought it was a bit unfair to mention avout the display cases for the real replicas. Of course if you pay under 2 usd for something, its not coming with a damn display case.
Beautiful said
Yeah I agree about the display boxes and velvets
Happily agreed. I personally don’t like these snobby ass fans in some fandoms about merch, I mean fucking come on you bought it under $2, it’s obviously not going to look absolutely perfect.
You do know that she can post whatever she wants right? And just because she states her opinion you immediately get upset at her because of it. Yeah, some people can't afford the real one, but she never said you HAVE to buy it, she literally recommended it.
@@wetsocks1237 I did state she can make the videos she wants to make, but people are going to critisize her if something doesnt sit well with them. This time it just happened to be the snobby attitude that she gave off for this specific video. She chooses to make videos for the public, the public will give her feed back. If she didnt want feedback then her comments would disabled for all videos she makes. I dont attack her as a person, but I do make judgement on this specific video. Im sure shes lovely, but this video doesnt exactly display that.
It isn't fake if they don't claim to be Nobel Collection. They offer cheaper alternatives for those of us who can't afford the more expensive replicas.
Also, Wish is cheap because it's where unsellable products go. The businesses know they can't make a profit, but they at least want something. Even if it's just a pound. It's hard for smaller businesses to compete with collosal ones like Nobel Collection.
THIS!
I personally REALLY like the fake horcrux ring, and think it looks really nice. I also love the diadem, but not as much as the ring
Didn't really care for the vibe of this video. It's cheap replicas so they obviously won't compare to the nobel collections. personly I thought they looked better than expected for those prices.
Yeah of course, but it’s just a little bit of fun comparing them ☺️✨
Preach
xDreamerNadi I didn’t like the vibe either bashing something at a extremely reasonable price for what you received in return isn’t fun. That’s like calling being unnecessarily negative fun. A lot of wish stuff from videos that review items comes in as something 100% not even the item listed. They look pretty good for the prices and for the most part were similar to the listing. Really biased and I feel like no matter what came in the mail she would have been unhappy. She kept saying she didn’t HATE the items but seems like she was dissatisfied each time but at that price point she couldn’t reasonably expect a perfect dupe for a licensed replica lol.
8:51 of course the quality will not be very good considering it was like $7. Also if you are rough with the real replica it can break too you know, but i am sure you wont be picking at the gems and bending the real replica in half roughly considering it cost you around $150, will you?
Will you calm down! She was expecting it to be bad quality and she is just telling you what’s up!
@@sydney8145 that is not whats up thats being snobish.......
Honey... There is no such thing as a real replica. Replicas are NOT real. Just FYI.
Stop trying to act smart. She means fake as in counterfeit and not made by the Harry Potter company.
@@amy-fj4gu Doesn't matter what she MEANS honey.
there is authentic and fake
She means to say it in a way that the "real replicas" are the ones that are licenced and are the original product in respect to the movies but the "fake replicas" are not licenced and are fake in respect to the movie. As they can't litterally have the props
Mária Hétszáz Yeah. It’s not what she means, it’s what she said but your dumbass can’t fully articulate that.
The timer turner from wish is basically the same as from the Harry Potter studios. I mean the key ring of it , which is pretty good. The key ring from there doesn’t spin and it’s bigger than the necklace should be.
You should've just said roasting replicas from wish.😒
Exactly what i wanted to comment down.. !
What do you excepted for that price? You acting like you want it to be the same. Girl it's impossible🤷🏻♀️
She litteraly said about some that you get what you pay for. Did you watch the video?
mia rim yeah
Yes it should because no matter where it comes from the quality should be the same otherwise theres no point making or buying it
Cherry, just to let you know, when you were looking up the 'gringotts coins' at 4:38, there is a coin listed under a cussword with a rather graphic image on it in the upper left corner. I don't want you to get demonitized so you might want edit it out or sensor it. I'm a huge fan of yours so I don't want you to get complaints from parents.
I know I saw it and got scared for her!
@goonhead I know, it's funny but ya know how you can get demonitized for basically anything in youtube -_-
Yes! I noticed that to and was happy that she did not talk about it. But, anyway I do think she should censor it because she could get demonitized. 💗
Dude the pendent is literally the same just smaller wtf
No it’s not
The replicas aren’t all that bad in total honesty. Not everyone could afford to spend so much on the real products, so they’d make decent displays until having that privilege.
“Another case of you get what you pay for.”
Yes indeed. You got what you pay for. Everyone knows Wish items are not always the best or even worth all the money. But, here we are buying from the store.
Are you complaining about her comment?
I buy my replicas from wish to put on my xmas tree. I try to make sure I choose things that other users have posted photos. I figure since I am putting them on my tree, they dont need to be good quality, just aesthetically pleasing.
That's actually a really cool idea! I might try that :D
For the quality you get for Harry Potter products, they are way too overpriced. I got to a point where I’m not in love with Harry Potter anymore. It is so over merchandised and they just dragged all the magic out of it for me.
Damn, that's so true
That sounds more like a you thing tbh 🤨
Good for stunt replicas. If you're running away from snatchers, those are the ones you'd want.
You're correct. I gave a neighbor of mine a Time Turner for Christmas which she enjoyed very much, saying she would wear it with her dark blue, velvet dress. About three months later, I ran into her wearing that same dress, but not the Time Turner. When I asked her about it, she lowered her head and answered she didn't wish to wear it in public, because her own sister had been a victim of a mugging, her gold chain had been snatched from her neck, injuring her in the process. I told her I understood, and I saw her wearing it during a New Year's party. Now, that I know about Wish, I'll let her know where she can obtain a knock-off and not even worry about it being snatched, because she can always obtain another one.
In my opinion I would buy the fake because then I could wear it and maybe save up for the real ones and put them on display. After paying all that money for the real ones I would feel horrible if anything happen to it. There is nothing wrong with the fake.
Ha! This was fun to watch. The Golden Egg though... 😂
Yeah
I am the biggest fan of both of you
Hilarious that she just snapped the shell off the wish one, I'd love to see her treat her "real replica" like that! 🙄😅
Cherry: I don’t know why you would want pink in middle
Umbridge: Excuse me 👁👄👁
4:18 oh dear that first coin.... Cherry didn't you see this lol!
I'm so sorry, but the way she was handling the official replicas was giving me anxiety...
that shirt is EVERYTHING what a mood
Such a mood! 💕
