WELCOME BACK! My owl from Litjoy Crate finally arrived... thanks for coming to hang out with me! Oh and don't forget to come back every day this week for a new video! 😱
I’d use acetone to remove the eyes and mouth from the mandrake. Then I’d repaint the face using acrylic paints, making it a realistic face and adding creases to the body. Lastly I’d go over the whole thing with a brown wash to add shading and make it not so shiny. A spray of sealer would make it waterproof. Oh and before painting, I’d give it a light sanding.
From a cat-owner, I beg of you, adopt cats from a shelter. They're so many, and if no one adopts them, they get put down. And please get the older ones, cause everyone wants kittens, so the older ones always gets left behind. It breaks my heart. Even though some may seem grumpy and evil, give them a chance. They don't get born like that, they're fostered like that from previous evil owners. Give them a chance of love in what's left of their lives.
I love the Mandrake pot, I was able to fit a succulent(a small panda plant, it's doing great) in the actual Mandrake and put them together with soil around the Mandrake part and it's the cutest thing.
It wasn't my favourite crate of their's but I did like everything and I actually love the Mandrake as something cute for my window plants but I totally get what you mean by preferably authentic looking items, as I wouldn't some of them on my book shelf with previous items I've gotten. But given all the issues they had I'm just glad everything finally arrived and in perfect condition.
Favourites definitely the cup and saucer that was amazing! The rest was good really good but When you see how incredible the keys are in the add on box it shows how weak the main box was. Those keys were incredible
I know you said you think the Monster Books of Monsters box is maybe more for younger witches and wizards but I have a suggestion for what you could do with yours; which is that you could put all of the coins from the boxes in it to keep them together and as a cute display of the lid was kept open of a shelf to display both the box and the coins inside kinda like a treasure chest filled with gold coins.🙂
I liked the cup and saucer, and was glad they sent me both pieces of the mandrake pot. And the monster book of monster box was soft and cute. Personally for a box that is supposed to represent magical classes...I was kind of disappointed that a wand wasn't included...but maybe that is just me. 😊
I LOVE the cup and saucer in this crate. My mandrake pot was missing because of the mishap they had with broken items so I will get it in a later shipment. I think it's cute. I kill all plants so I will put something fake in it to give the mandrake some "hair". I love the coins as well. They are very heavy and well made. One of the Lunacorns isn't a fan of magnets so she turned them into pins. I believe she glued some backings on them and they came out quite good. So that is an option if you don't want to use them like magnets. I didn't get all the add ons but they are pretty cool. I really want the Quiddich key but it was not available to purchase when I started to buy from them.
Thank you for being so honest, Cherry! It's one of the reasons why I love watching your videos. ☺️ This box has received very mixed reviews, and while I personally do feel that it is worth the money, I definitely also think that it's not on par with their other boxes. I know that a lot of people are upset because of the spelling errors, but I honestly don't really mind them, since they are quite subtle. However, I do think that the quality of the salt and pepper shakers is lacking and I hope that this won't happen again, since they told us that they have expanded their quality control-team.
I totally agree. It was a very expensive "miss the mark" for me. I have to tell you. I am quite disappointed in this box. I hope that the next box will be of the high quality standard we've become accustomed to.
I wish I could buy add-ons without buying the box sometimes. In my personal opinion the quality of add-ons I’ve gotten lately have been great, while the boxes almost don’t seem worth the money with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 items per box. Also, I really want the keys and after paying for the box I can never afford the keys as add-ons; I can only afford smaller and cheaper add-ons.
The add ons do go to their shop a month or two after the box shipped out but you’re chancing something selling out to subscribers. I’ve cancelled my sub since I only really want the keys too so I’m going to try for that method.
I think the salt and pepper with cork stpppers would make more sense of they gave you a tiny spoon with it to measure out a "pinch". But I think the black silicon are for the "shaking" bit, I guess.
i have a little bonzi tree which looks like a mandrake, the roots curl in to legs and arms and it even has dents that looks like a face. I got it from ikea and love it
This is my first mandrake and divination cup so they were automatically my favorite. While I wish the Mandrake was completed with ceramic leaves, I regret that choice after the ceramic shortage. Also, I like how they give you the option to do what you want. While there are spelling errors on both of them, I barely noticed them when I was excited about opening them.
Out of all the litjoy boxes I've had so far - this was my least favourite - spelling mistakes on the tea cup and mandrake and then my mandrake based arrived with cracks in - quality control for this box seems to have gone out the window. Add one were better this time round than the box - going to wait for the fantastic beasts box and then night have to cancel because of the expense
I still haven't even received the pot part of the mandrake, but I was so disappointed in this box too. I think the quality was so much better when there were only 2 per year. I think they've tried to bite off more than they could handle
@@Amsayy I think so too. The keys they've done and the light boxes are incredible, but if they don't step up with the quality of the crates there's no point in fantastic add ons because they'll lose their subscribers
I was so so disappointed because it was my first ever box from them after watching a ton of videos reviewing them and finally convincing myself that the price would be worth it. Definitely was not
I have been watching you unbox these boxes for a long time and subscribed from the original magical crate year 4, they are usually bang on and top quality. I found this box to be quite childish and considering the cost and that most of us subscribers are older witches and wizards, (I’m 47) LitJoy really missed the mark with this box and the last one wasn’t great either. With multiple spelling mistakes it’s just not the quality I expect from them. Let’s hope they listen to their subscribers and get back to the quality crates we know they can produce. 😘
I am a younger subscriber so a regular subscription of these boxes just wasn't possible. I had saved up for this box and it was a one off purchase so I am very disappointed with this box.
It would be so great if one day Mina Lima does a crate for Harry Potter like a subscription one that be so awesome Litjoy is great but they are not so good on magical creature edition
I very much appreciate your honesty! I saw another youtube video where the reviewer noticed that Grim on the teacup and a word on the mandrake ceramic base label were misspelled & spelled differently on the cheat sheet soooo yikes! BUT I know they’ve had a bit of a rough go getting this box together so hopefully the fantastic creatures box is epic, I’m very excited for it! ❤️
I saw many videos about this box on the internet but I was like no I am watching it whenever Cherry shall upload. I am ready to do my waiting 12 years of it in AZKABAN!!
I agree. The mug and saucer and the magnets were my favourite the rest were honestly a miss. My salt and pepper shakers had misaligned labels (real bad) and my mandrake thing came cracked (in process of getting replaced). It was my first box and I was expecting more collectibles like the previous box I saw you show.
I absolutely loved the salt and pepper containers! That design would look perfect in my kitchen. The tea cup, so pretty. Watching you unwrap everything is so much fun!
I received my crate and was kind of disappointed, but I also understand the difficulty the company had with shipping and things that were out of their control. First, I received 2 salt shakers and no pepper. Secondly, I did not receive the pot for the mandrake. LitJoy has excellent customer service and got in touch with subscribers to let them know they were aware of the problems. They said they would send the mandrake pot as soon as they get the new shipment. Then they gave a gift certificate to those that did not get the correct salt/pepper shakers. The cup and saucer were beautiful and the cat bag was cute. I liked some other crates better, but this wasn’t all that bad. I feel for companies who are having shipping headaches. Thank you for the video and your opinions. Blessings…
I really want to become a Lunacorn, but I'm not so sure I understand what it means. As in, if I pay 10 dollars a month, do I get a crate each month? or do I have to pay separately for the crate?
thank you for your honesty! it was also my least favourite, I gave my 9 year old most of the items that came in this crate and she loved them. I loved the tea cup even with the spelling mistake. I watched your unboxing of the year 3 crate and there was a coffee mug in it that said "my dear you have the Grimm" with the 2 m's on it, it doesn't totally bother me, its still gorgeous and theres little pixies on it which make it cuter! Hoping the next crates improve :) Love watching your videos!!!
I thought this box was crap, to put it bluntly. The stickers on my el cheapo salt and pepper shakers were so crooked, it looked like they were put on by a drunkard. On a boat. On a stormy sea. One of them, the top part of the sticker was on the neck of the jar, so not even stuck down. The Grim teacup was spelled Grimm, as in the Brothers Grimm. And they misspelled officinarum on the mandrake pot. I'm giving that to my mum as she has no idea about Harry Potter.
I've always loved what I see from the Litjoy box videos so I decided to finally buy one. This is the first ever box I bought and I am slightly disappointed.
Very curious as to what you’re going to do with all your keys. Are you just going to put them on your shelves? I think it be cool to hang on your Christmas tree with other Potter ornaments.
Dear LitJoy, ( If you read this...) I wish I could trade the cat bag, salt and pepper shakers and the monster book box for one set of keys in the box. As an adult collector I prefer quality over quantity.
Oh, see, I love the realistic things but since this mandrake pot isn't really meant to be a replica but rather a usable item with a nod to the magical world, I really loved the little mandrake pot part. I think his little grumpy expression is hilarious. I get what you're saying (and love the suggestion by another commenter to repaint it to your own style!) but I just so happen to love this item.
I appreciate that litjoy tries to go for more of a practical route. Some boxes it's more aesthetic pieces and here they're trying to make it useful for you
So, I got this box as well mine was missing the base, but I still enjoy them. I have found a great way to use my potion bottles in my kitchen with the cork instead of black stopper, I have a salt and pepper grinder that I use so I put the unground salt crystals and the peppercorns in my bottles they look much more like potion ingredients that way and are still functional for me.
which came first the phoenix or the flame - A circle has no beginning - a phoenix produces fire and flames are made by the phoenix I just love this riddle. thanks for showing the crate it was pure joy
Who came first, the fenix or the flame? Cycles don’t have a beginning or an end. I remember Luna, I think, answering in one of the movies and I live for that response.
This is reminiscent of the old chicken/egg debate, except that has an answer: the first egg you could say was a chicken egg came from a bird you could not exactly call a chicken. That's just how evolution works, although the distinction isn't such a sharp line as it is a gradient between what you could and what you could not call chicken.
Great video! The answer to the Phoenix and the flame question is - in the words of Luna Lovegood - 'A circle has no end' The question is asked as the password to the Ravenclaw common room when Harry and Luna are going there in Harry Potter and thr Deathly Hallows. I haven't watched the film yet so I don't know if it made it in. Thank you for making such great videos.
Those black stoppers for the bottles look like typical chemistry lab equipment -- the holes allow you to put pipettes, tubes, etc. into otherwise closed vessels. I never thought of using them for S&P shakers but now I'm tempted to try! I've heard of "letting the cat out of the bag" but that transfiguration item marks the first time I've seen of letting the bag out of the cat... All in all, an interesting box, although (as you said) not entirely top-tier. Those keys, on the other hand, are pretty dang cool...!
I think prefect badges are only for people who get the boxes sent to them for free. I never miss a box and always buy loads of add-ons and I’m the highest level of membership on their site too. I might have to cut back on spending money on this though for financial reasons. Also, there just aren’t a ton of perks for high paying members.
So talking about practical magical items for the kitchen. Le Crueset have just come out with a HP range. I'm from South Africa so if it's in our stores, it has to be in yours. Not sure howbi feel about it though, some of the items look good but the big ticket items seem a bit cheesy to me. Immediately thought of you and hoped you would give them a review!
You could put rock salt and whole peppercorns in the jars and just have them as display in the kitchen and then use them to refill your actual salt & pepper grinders 🤷🏻♀️🧂
Cherry, you always make your videos so cheerful and bright! Speaking of this box - I have unsubscribed after receiving this box. It was super low quality and all the items looked cheap except for pins and a cup with a plate - these were the only awesome items. Very upset that I had to pay for this box and then also get quality collectible keys for extra money. Wish they’d include keys and other quality items in boxes rather than selling them separately.
I actually love the Monster Book Of Monsters box and the Mandrake pot is quite cute but you’re right it doesn’t look as realistic as it possibly could… still cute though aha. Loved this video (as always). Also the keys are brill!
thank you cherry that litjoy has done really well with harry potter souveniers and my favourite key is griffindor common room and hogwarts castle and qudditch hoops library
I love watching and hearing what others have to say about any of the harry potter subscriptions! Like if i got this box id genuinely use and love everything in here and im a picky person. My bathroom is Harry potter (potion cabinet/ magical class rooms inspired) and only my best HP stuff goes in there and id put all these in there.. maybe except the puzzle. Id do it, but its not nice enough/my style to frame in there. And im a huge plant lady and have been on the hunt for unique pots everywhere! And I appreciated that they actually put a design on both sides of the bag! Many sellers would have just printed the cat face and the inside be a sold gray bag. i see lots of people in the comments being let down from this box and i find that shocking😂 🤷🏻♀️ plus i mean theres stuff Cherry likes, that are just not my vibe and thats all cool too!
I really agree, opened mine yesterday and it’s the first time I’ve ever been a little disappointed by LitJoy, I loved the cup and saucer but you’re right the salt and pepper isn’t useable and I don’t mind a slightly off centre label but one of mine is practically sideways it’s so squint and ruins them even more. Usually I feel like there’s so much in there that it’s really worth more than I paid but this time I felt like it came to an end quickly and I was a bit like “is that it”? Hopefully just a blip!
From the main box I love the coin and the magnets and from the add-on box I love the notebook and the keys as always. I'm not really a pin girl, but more like magnet one. 😏 The only pins I really liked were the Patronus ones.
While the riddle is the equivalent of which came first: the chicken or the egg, i believe that the answer is the flame because a Phoenix rises from the ashes. The only way it can be created is by the fire that creates the flame. My favorite keys: Ollivianders Honeydukes Potion key Wish I can afford the rest.
That box was not their strongest one indeed but I enjoyed it quite a lot (more than the Big 7 one, which, for me, was their weakest). I especially loved the teacup and saucer (even though they mispelled "Grim"), the magnets and the Salt & Pepper set, which does look great on a potions shelf. I also quite enjoyed the Monster Book of Monsters trinket box because it's really cute, and the Mandrake pot made me laugh because of how grumpy the Mandrake looks! Concerning the add-ons, I got the Quidditch Quality Supplies key, the notebook and the Wiseacres candle caroussel and absolutely loved all of those!
WELCOME BACK! My owl from Litjoy Crate finally arrived... thanks for coming to hang out with me!
Oh and don't forget to come back every day this week for a new video! 😱
Hey from Greece!love your videos💐💐💐
Hi ❤️
Hi can you put the link for the website you get the crates from
Hii love ur vids i thought this was one of ur old vids😅
What time?
I’d use acetone to remove the eyes and mouth from the mandrake. Then I’d repaint the face using acrylic paints, making it a realistic face and adding creases to the body. Lastly I’d go over the whole thing with a brown wash to add shading and make it not so shiny. A spray of sealer would make it waterproof. Oh and before painting, I’d give it a light sanding.
I love this idea! I’ll definitely try this with mine!
Does acetone even work on glaze? I mean glaze is burned into the ceramic at 1250 to 1400 °C. Does acetone do anything to glazed things?
In my box I did not get the base for the mandrake box.
@@re7478 Contact the company on that.
@@kiraakakitsune7786 No it doesn't.

You can totally see the snow in your magical background. It’s so festive love it!
Ha yay! This pleases me. ❄️
There is a hard work behind the decorations right cheery 😝😝❤❤

I love the Mandrake pot, I was able to fit a succulent(a small panda plant, it's doing great) in the actual Mandrake and put them together with soil around the Mandrake part and it's the cutest thing.
Lol Glideroy Lockhart photo bombing everyone in the photo booth photos! 🤣
I love that so much! Makes me giggle every time I look at it!
I love both parts of the mandrake planter. However, the pot looks like you’ve plucked it from the Herbology green house and the mandrake doesn’t
It wasn't my favourite crate of their's but I did like everything and I actually love the Mandrake as something cute for my window plants but I totally get what you mean by preferably authentic looking items, as I wouldn't some of them on my book shelf with previous items I've gotten. But given all the issues they had I'm just glad everything finally arrived and in perfect condition.
You put Christmas hat on demiguise. Cute.
HAHA yes I did... I couldn't resist.
I would love the entire key collection.
Favourites definitely the cup and saucer that was amazing! The rest was good really good but When you see how incredible the keys are in the add on box it shows how weak the main box was. Those keys were incredible
i’m a 26 year old witch but i enjoyed this box! don’t absolutely love every single item but there are definitely a few i will be using.
this was my first litjoy box and I was so sadly disappointed 🙁
thank you for your honest opinion and you're still very kind about it
Please do a separate video on the Alohomora collection. I'd love to see how it has come together 🥺
I might do this when the collection ends.
My thoughts about the monster book box, was to use it for pins or coins from subscription boxes if you don't have a place to display them!
I know you said you think the Monster Books of Monsters box is maybe more for younger witches and wizards but I have a suggestion for what you could do with yours; which is that you could put all of the coins from the boxes in it to keep them together and as a cute display of the lid was kept open of a shelf to display both the box and the coins inside kinda like a treasure chest filled with gold coins.🙂
It’s time to sit down, and drink a mug of hot chocolate in front of the fire and watch a new video from Cherry!
maybe a mug where when your done you see you have the grim
I liked the cup and saucer, and was glad they sent me both pieces of the mandrake pot. And the monster book of monster box was soft and cute. Personally for a box that is supposed to represent magical classes...I was kind of disappointed that a wand wasn't included...but maybe that is just me. 😊

I got it from ikea and love it

I like my collection to look very realistic too, Cherry! So agree on that! ⚡️
I would love to see a full key collection video!! They are beautiful!
It would be so great if one day Mina Lima does a crate for Harry Potter like a subscription one that be so awesome Litjoy is great but they are not so good on magical creature edition
That would be amazing!!!

Oh no! Grimm is a German surname. I wonder if it’s spelt like that in the USA HP books or something to make that mistake twice? No idea!! 😬
No it's definitely not!!
Yes, get a cat. You won't regret it. I have one, and I always take it with me while I WATCH 657 Boulevard.

I think it would be neat if they did House Keys. I’m a Ravenclaw and wish they made more items of Ravenclaw.
I like the book shelf in the background very much and i love the litjoi series.
Very curious as to what you’re going to do with all your keys. Are you just going to put them on your shelves? I think it be cool to hang on your Christmas tree with other Potter ornaments.

I have found a great way to use my potion bottles in my kitchen with the cork instead of black stopper, I have a salt and pepper grinder that I use so I put the unground salt crystals and the peppercorns in my bottles they look much more like potion ingredients that way and are still functional for me.
which came first the phoenix or the flame - A circle has no beginning - a phoenix produces fire and flames are made by the phoenix I just love this riddle. thanks for showing the crate it was pure joy
I love that you call the doodle in the back of the notebook knots and crosses. Sounds so much cuter then tic-tac-toe. 😍 I love that tea cup!
I think it's naughts and crosses. Brits tend to say naught instead of 0 or zero
Who came first, the fenix or the flame? Cycles don’t have a beginning or an end.
I remember Luna, I think, answering in one of the movies and I live for that response.
*phoenix
This is reminiscent of the old chicken/egg debate, except that has an answer: the first egg you could say was a chicken egg came from a bird you could not exactly call a chicken. That's just how evolution works, although the distinction isn't such a sharp line as it is a gradient between what you could and what you could not call chicken.
For the mandrake pot, I love it together!
Maybe just turn the face backside, or! you can get rid or repaint the face away.
Great video! The answer to the Phoenix and the flame question is - in the words of Luna Lovegood - 'A circle has no end' The question is asked as the password to the Ravenclaw common room when Harry and Luna are going there in Harry Potter and thr Deathly Hallows. I haven't watched the film yet so I don't know if it made it in. Thank you for making such great videos.
i love the way cherry yeets the cheat sheet like "I DONT NEED NO CHEAT SHEET-"
This box was ok maybe a bit better than the big 7 box and so far nothing can outdo the burrow box, so good 😊
The cups are beautiful !! When I save enough, I may invest in a subscription !!
Those black stoppers for the bottles look like typical chemistry lab equipment -- the holes allow you to put pipettes, tubes, etc. into otherwise closed vessels. I never thought of using them for S&P shakers but now I'm tempted to try! I've heard of "letting the cat out of the bag" but that transfiguration item marks the first time I've seen of letting the bag out of the cat... All in all, an interesting box, although (as you said) not entirely top-tier. Those keys, on the other hand, are pretty dang cool...!
When you open the litjoy crates it fills you with joy but when you open them it fills me with joy watching you open them
I love the divination cup and the keys!!!!!!
I think prefect badges are only for people who get the boxes sent to them for free. I never miss a box and always buy loads of add-ons and I’m the highest level of membership on their site too. I might have to cut back on spending money on this though for financial reasons. Also, there just aren’t a ton of perks for high paying members.
So talking about practical magical items for the kitchen. Le Crueset have just come out with a HP range. I'm from South Africa so if it's in our stores, it has to be in yours. Not sure howbi feel about it though, some of the items look good but the big ticket items seem a bit cheesy to me. Immediately thought of you and hoped you would give them a review!
You should do a video showing all of the keys! So beautiful!
You could put rock salt and whole peppercorns in the jars and just have them as display in the kitchen and then use them to refill your actual salt & pepper grinders 🤷🏻♀️🧂
'i dont need a cheat sheet the second i open the box' had me in stitches
I personally adore the mandrake. That and the monster box are probably my favorite. Though to be fair I do really like cartoony designs.
Loving the Christmas decor 😍 makes me so excited and happy 😊
You actually look cute even without your makeup on cherry! And that festive gryffindor look on the shelf is just ❤
Pls put the bow in one of the corners of the shelves. It is soooo pretty and I miss it 😭
Cherry, you always make your videos so cheerful and bright! Speaking of this box - I have unsubscribed after receiving this box. It was super low quality and all the items looked cheap except for pins and a cup with a plate - these were the only awesome items. Very upset that I had to pay for this box and then also get quality collectible keys for extra money. Wish they’d include keys and other quality items in boxes rather than selling them separately.
I agree! I unsubscribed too 😭
I actually love the Monster Book Of Monsters box and the Mandrake pot is quite cute but you’re right it doesn’t look as realistic as it possibly could… still cute though aha. Loved this video (as always). Also the keys are brill!
thank you cherry that litjoy has done really well with harry potter souveniers and my favourite key is griffindor common room and hogwarts castle and qudditch hoops library
I love how lavender and parvati are with trewlany
For the salt and pepper shakers
You could possibly use a little tiny measuring spoon
DADA is my fav!
A solid choice.
You could put pepper corns and salt rocks in the shakers and put them on the potion shelf as potion ingredients
you could put specialty salt and pepper in those shakers that traditionally would be handled in your palm before entering your meals!
Okay, but is no one going to comment how perfect the thumbnail is?! 🤣
Thank you 😆 I enjoyed editing it!
Those keys are absolutely stunning! Oh my gosh 😍
I love watching and hearing what others have to say about any of the harry potter subscriptions! Like if i got this box id genuinely use and love everything in here and im a picky person. My bathroom is Harry potter (potion cabinet/ magical class rooms inspired) and only my best HP stuff goes in there and id put all these in there.. maybe except the puzzle. Id do it, but its not nice enough/my style to frame in there. And im a huge plant lady and have been on the hunt for unique pots everywhere! And I appreciated that they actually put a design on both sides of the bag! Many sellers would have just printed the cat face and the inside be a sold gray bag. i see lots of people in the comments being let down from this box and i find that shocking😂 🤷🏻♀️ plus i mean theres stuff Cherry likes, that are just not my vibe and thats all cool too!
I think the idea with the salt and pepper shaker were, that you can use the corc ones for display and the black ones for usage :)
I really agree, opened mine yesterday and it’s the first time I’ve ever been a little disappointed by LitJoy, I loved the cup and saucer but you’re right the salt and pepper isn’t useable and I don’t mind a slightly off centre label but one of mine is practically sideways it’s so squint and ruins them even more. Usually I feel like there’s so much in there that it’s really worth more than I paid but this time I felt like it came to an end quickly and I was a bit like “is that it”? Hopefully just a blip!
From the main box I love the coin and the magnets and from the add-on box I love the notebook and the keys as always. I'm not really a pin girl, but more like magnet one. 😏 The only pins I really liked were the Patronus ones.
I agree I don’t personally love the mandrake bit as of I love the base
Does anybody else love the way she says magic?
me: Magic
Cherry: Majjic
😂
Yes get a cat ! They are a joy. How fun it is to be a mum to a kitty.
"GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!" part killed me 😂
While the riddle is the equivalent of which came first: the chicken or the egg, i believe that the answer is the flame because a Phoenix rises from the ashes. The only way it can be created is by the fire that creates the flame.
My favorite keys:
Ollivianders
Honeydukes
Potion key
Wish I can afford the rest.
That box was not their strongest one indeed but I enjoyed it quite a lot (more than the Big 7 one, which, for me, was their weakest). I especially loved the teacup and saucer (even though they mispelled "Grim"), the magnets and the Salt & Pepper set, which does look great on a potions shelf. I also quite enjoyed the Monster Book of Monsters trinket box because it's really cute, and the Mandrake pot made me laugh because of how grumpy the Mandrake looks! Concerning the add-ons, I got the Quidditch Quality Supplies key, the notebook and the Wiseacres candle caroussel and absolutely loved all of those!
I like all the practical items they did!
for the flame or phoenix question. a circle has no start nor end
