Professor Snape "greeted" Harry to his classroom with the words, "Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphdel to an infusion of wormwood?" Asphodel is a type of lily, and in the "flower language" of Victorian England it meant, "my regrets follow you to the grave," while wormwood signified bitter sorrow -- thus what Snape said was something along the lines of "I bitterly regret the death of Lily (your mother)."
Noooot quite. I mean, yes, but not quite. In case you were curious, one is "I deeply regret", the other is a _type of lily_ commonly used to express grief over the loss of a young woman. I find it necessary to explain that because it's one of those lucky coincidences that enriches the text, that it just so happens that a lily, symbol of maidens, was used exclusively for mourning. It is pretty cool. In most of the languages of flowers, (victorian is only one of them), combining certain flowers in their bouquets is a way of expressing more comolex ideas and emotions. For example, a red rose is a symbol of passionate love and devotion, of sensuality. A yellow rose represents hapiness, trust in the future, but also forgiveness and by extention, an apology. Therefore, a bouquet of red and yellow roses is usually given to ask forgiveness from your lover. One step extra, you could make a case for "I'm sorry I was untrue". Of course, given how recent that interpretation is, (first time I saw it was when Tumblr was already stablished as a popular site), it may or may not have been a coincidence. But even then, as I said before, just because something was achieved with no intention does not strip it from it's worth. Serindipity only has value because you were not looking for it. And that's my paragraphs long comment regarding flowers on a RUclips video. Hooray!
The first thing Snape asks Harry is “Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?” According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning ‘My regrets follow you to the grave’ and wormwood means ‘absence’ and also typically symbolised bitter sorrow. If you combined that, it meant ‘I bitterly regret Lily’s death’.
Cherry, I feel soo bad about those items got broken... They are actually my favorite. I would like you to make a video on unboxing the deluminator of dumbledore from Nobel collection
I'm so surprised that I liked everything in the box. I usually only like a few things in subscription boxes, but this one was superb! My favorite was either the headache stick or quill
I'm from Argentina so my favorite sweet it's an "alfajor". It's like a macaron but with completely different ingredients, they're made of two or three cookies, covered in chocolate united by "dulce de leche" (a kind of nutella but it's made with milk and sugar, a national sweet. Reeeeeally tasty but if you eat to much you'll feel kind of sick of it's sweetness). Love you, Cherry!
You need to read the fanfiction I read once which convinced me to like Umbridge. It was AU of course but it was still awesome! BTW your hair at the start was so perfect!
Asphodel is a type of lily and means 'remembered beyond the tomb' or 'my regrets follow you to the grave,' while wormwood is often associated with regret or bitterness.
also i think the headache stick was clever, and the Snape Mug would have been a favorite of my own as well as that quill, thankfully we can say it is an imitation and not the real one which the use of was supposed to have been illegal anyways lol.
Instead of a headmaster shelf u should make a professor shelf if u haven’t already and u inspired me to start my own channel where I invoiced things and collect for Harry Potter
Richard Harris believed Fawkes was real the first time he was in the Headmasters office during filming of Book One! The memory vial should go on the Horcrux shelf! Love your videos because they are so upbeat. GG n your running.
I just looooove the artworks in these boxes you get. it is all so incredibly pretty. I have so many artworks from al kinds of series in my home itds driving my boyfriend nuts. It's probably a good thing I cant buy these artworks loose.... xD
amazing box, such a shame the memory vial and Mug were broken I love the mead bottle, we actually got a bottle of mead in this months cauldron crate box and it was so so beautiful and was full of liquid soap! super clever! love your unboxings
I'm going Florida next August (if the worlds normal again) and we are going to Universal,and I honestly think im going to cry when I see it even though ive been to the studio tour
I liked the infusion of wormwood potion best the green circular colours so dainty and also the Severus snape mug looked like it would have been really nice I love their quotes. They need to do a Ginny, Neville and Luna themes box perhaps stationary eg bookmarks etc. Least favourite was the artwork
Great box!!! When you shook the memorial vial box before opening it, I was saying in my head “nooo be careful that might be fragile!” And then it was broken when you opened it and I was like “😱 did she just break it?” But then the mug was broken too, so it’s obvious that your owl dropped the whole box on his way to you! 🦉💥 Hope you get them replaced! Awesome box all around!
I got this box, I hate, and I mean hate the pin! It will not stay upright because the back pin is set to low on the front and it’s so heavy that it turns upside down... very disappointing. I also thought the mug looked cheep. Everything else was just fabulous. It’s my first box and I was very happy with it.
Hi Cherry, I got in contact with Geek Gear for a replacement potion from my Special Edition box that arrived in February and I still waiting. Not only haven’t received my replacements but have not received any Special Editions boxes since. My past wands boxes have not arrived (is been over 45 days) and the MacGonagals boxes which I paid three weeks ago now is not coming out until the end of July. They really drop the ball. Even that I love their merchandise I probably get a different subscription. My wife and I love you and we are your subscribers forever.
9 mins!!, I was rather astounded to see your wand,as I remeber it was not any character's wand.then you said it's been made.i love wands 😍😍.keep collecting!!
It would be fun to kinsugi that broken mug. I found a method of faux food-safe kinsugi using resin that I want to try out eventually. It's too bad you had so many things break.
In terms of taste my favorite sweet is cauldron cake but overall chocolate frog is my favorite because of the collectors card its like a kinder egg but better lol
I loved the memory vile and the potion bottles. Wish I had gotten the box. I had a chance to get it when they offered a limited supply of leftovers. But I could only get one and really wanted the Halloween box their offering.
love your hair and your outfit , very cinderella tone too tho with how the headband and color is, some might say Jasmine, but i feel its almost that white or color that Cinderellas was in the original movie, glad you were wonderful to be thoughtful of the makers , that they arent fully repsonsible for package once it leaves their warehouse, items as we know can always be replaced, which im sure theyd be lovely to do , box itself was extremely clever, I feel this is something I would do if I had the $ to invest in it myself.
Hey Cherry! Im a huge fan of you and HP and I'm a fellow Gryffindor, can u pls do a lesson like DADA or potions for all us students that have had to be sent back home?? I think it would be a really cool vid xx
Wow, that’s such a strong box. And I thought the fun fact you slipped in about one of the Dumbledore’s thinking Fawkes was a real bird was just sooo cute and sweet ! “Like ooh, you’ve actually got a real and trained exotic bird on set !” Would’ve been so cute if it was a real bird though, and not an animatronic. (Of course only if it was trained by someone who took as good care of it and loved it as much as Dumbledore does. We love animal rights.) Oh, and I take back the fact that I thought it would’ve been cute with a real bird on the set because I suddenly remembered the scene in Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix when Dumbledore and Fawkes disappear in flames ... 😳😂
It's a shame a few of the items got broken. That mug would have looked great in your magical collection. Have you managed to get it replaced? You may have already seen this video since I'm commenting late. Ben and J Carlin made a theory video that included the connection between the first potion he mentions to Harry in Philosopher's Stone and Lily. I had no clue about that until I watched it.
I think Errol was carrying your package, Cherry.
I think so too!
🤭
Yes obviously since the stuff is broken
Or maybe Pigwidgeon, he is so small, he might have dropped it.
Yessssss so true!
Professor Snape "greeted" Harry to his classroom with the words, "Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphdel to an infusion of wormwood?"

Exactly! I was about to say the same thing.
😟 awww snape.. I didn't know this
Oh my god, how did u do that?
Woah! :0
@@lazyhomebody1356 Me too. :)
Powdered root of aphsodel and an infusion of wormwood means, in the victorian language of flowers, 'I deeply regret Lily's death'
Wonderful, now I'm emotional. Thank you for that bit of info
I'm nearly crying thanks for that
Noooot quite. I mean, yes, but not quite. In case you were curious, one is "I deeply regret", the other is a _type of lily_ commonly used to express grief over the loss of a young woman.

And that's my paragraphs long comment regarding flowers on a RUclips video. Hooray!
Are they drinks or just liquid in a bottle?
Everyone remembers the password ‘Sherbet Lemon’ but I also love ‘Cockroach Clusters’ because Harry didn’t really mean it when he said it.
Yes, yes.
I just read that part today!!!!
Ye lol
Which book
Cherry holding the quill: "I´m not going to lie" :D
" O this looks really fragile"
10 Seconds before - **Shakes white box**
And does it twice c😂
Cherry's emotional switch when opening the umbridge box is such a mood honestly
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.
Nymphadora Tonks
Yes because happiness can always be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light 💡
R u saying that this is a dream
Tybbf
we have the same pfp LOL ❤️

I received mine with a broken mug as well, but my memory vial was intact...great box!
"Blimey!"
-Cherry Wallis, 2020.
I think your Ron has come out Cherry 😂
I was expecting Rons “Bloody hell!”
Lol
Cherry, I feel soo bad about those items got broken... They are actually my favorite. I would like you to make a video on unboxing the deluminator of dumbledore from Nobel collection
Yes that would be a wonderful video. I would also love to see a Wand Collection 2020 video.
@Madison Brownlol. yeah errol definitely delivered her package.
Sense you’ve got so many potions and potion ingredients, you should make a potions cabinet.
I'm so surprised that I liked everything in the box. I usually only like a few things in subscription boxes, but this one was superb!
My favorite was either the headache stick or quill
That Dolores Umbridge's black quill reaction was priceless!
I'm from Argentina so my favorite sweet it's an "alfajor". It's like a macaron but with completely different ingredients, they're made of two or three cookies, covered in chocolate united by "dulce de leche" (a kind of nutella but it's made with milk and sugar, a national sweet. Reeeeeally tasty but if you eat to much you'll feel kind of sick of it's sweetness). Love you, Cherry!
Dios el alfajor es lo mejor que le pasó al mundo después del dulce de leche
the idea to make the theme of the box is one person, is realy cool. i love the dumbledor theme
You need to read the fanfiction I read once which convinced me to like Umbridge. It was AU of course but it was still awesome!
BTW your hair at the start was so perfect!
Cherry, you just make me smile! Thanks for being you. ❤️
it was the first dumbledore who thought Fawkes was real, the actor Richard Harris.
"Tell me, What would I get, if I added *powdered root of asphodel* to an *infusion of wormwood* !"
I deeply regret Lily's death
15:44 when Harry, Ron, and Hermione are chilling happily in the corridors and Umbridge waltz into the scene with a ‘hem hem.’
Cola cubes for sure!! Looking lovely as usual xx
Honestly, I want cherry’s wand at the beginning of the video. I’m in love with it. I think my favorite items are snape’s potions.
The Snape/Lily thing with the Asphodel meant "I bitterly regret Lily's death."
the ones who love us never leave us, cherry
The WT could also mean the West Tower where the Headmaster's office is
That so true big brain🧠🧠
You don’t know how much I love your videos.
Asphodel is a type of lily and means 'remembered beyond the tomb' or 'my regrets follow you to the grave,' while wormwood is often associated with regret or bitterness.
I love the candle color
also i think the headache stick was clever, and the Snape Mug would have been a favorite of my own as well as that quill, thankfully we can say it is an imitation and not the real one which the use of was supposed to have been illegal anyways lol.
Instead of a headmaster shelf u should make a professor shelf if u haven’t already and u inspired me to start my own channel where I invoiced things and collect for Harry Potter
Hi cherry you’ve helped me a lot since I lost my dog a couple days ago I just want to let you know I love you
I'm sorry for your loss x
Enut Peanut thank you
Abigail S thank you
Richard Harris believed Fawkes was real the first time he was in the Headmasters office during filming of Book One! The memory vial should go on the Horcrux shelf! Love your videos because they are so upbeat. GG n your running.
I am obsessed with Harry Potter and love watching these BTW I love your boxes the most out of all of the ones you show
I just looooove the artworks in these boxes you get. it is all so incredibly pretty. I have so many artworks from al kinds of series in my home itds driving my boyfriend nuts. It's probably a good thing I cant buy these artworks loose.... xD
Who else loves cherry video’s. And she was the first Harry potters RUclips’s you watched? 🤔😂😝
Sherbet lemon 🍋
Yup
Same
Yes Errol definitely delivered the package
Liked the video before I’ve even seen it! Love you Cherry💕
amazing box, such a shame the memory vial and Mug were broken I love the mead bottle, we actually got a bottle of mead in this months cauldron crate box and it was so so beautiful and was full of liquid soap! super clever! love your unboxings
your knowledge of harry potter always amazes me! I love it
I'm going Florida next August (if the worlds normal again) and we are going to Universal,and I honestly think im going to cry when I see it even though ive been to the studio tour
I liked the infusion of wormwood potion best the green circular colours so dainty and also the Severus snape mug looked like it would have been really nice I love their quotes. They need to do a Ginny, Neville and Luna themes box perhaps stationary eg bookmarks etc. Least favourite was the artwork
i loooove the quill
I just want to say thank you. Your videos are such a nice break from the real world ❤️
You look amazing Cherry
I love your time Turner necklace!!😎
This was one of the best boxes I have gotten. I use the headache stick as Chapstick!
And tomorrow it's the day when Cedric died and Voldemort returned
Love the hair cherry
That so funny. Lilly something to do with not forgetting... which you can't remember. Bless you
I am interested in these boxes but cant locate an actual price list for them on their website. Are they within the UK please?
I think the candle was an Umbridge item too, because she was always drinking tea.
A great box I especially liked the key. I agree the memory vial would have been my favorite if it hadn't been broken.
Im glad to see Cherry is looking happy again 😊
Great box!!! When you shook the memorial vial box before opening it, I was saying in my head “nooo be careful that might be fragile!” And then it was broken when you opened it and I was like “😱 did she just break it?” But then the mug was broken too, so it’s obvious that your owl dropped the whole box on his way to you! 🦉💥 Hope you get them replaced! Awesome box all around!
That was a great box. Too bad a couple were broken. Wonder how many others were broken.
Favorite item: the HM key and the print would be my favorites.
I would love to see how you decorate your new treasures in your shelf, if you keep them.
Love your videos and you Cherry 🍒❤ and how else loved the wand Cherry was holding
It's sad how things were broken, but that's really amazing that The Wizarding Trunk does replace them.
I got this box, I hate, and I mean hate the pin! It will not stay upright because the back pin is set to low on the front and it’s so heavy that it turns upside down... very disappointing. I also thought the mug looked cheep. Everything else was just fabulous. It’s my first box and I was very happy with it.

The oak matured mead is actually a bath product!
It’s an empty bottle haha. I think another box made it a bath product.
Awesome !! I'm a huge fan of Albus Dumbledore... I shared this video to a friend of mine who is a huge fan of Albus Dumbledore...she loved it too!!
What would a Dursley box include? Bow tie, 4 Privet Drive number plate, a bowl for Ripper, a tie tack drill, a picture frame . . . . ???
9 mins!!,
I was rather astounded to see your wand,as I remeber it was not any character's wand.then you said it's been made.i love wands 😍😍.keep collecting!!
Lemon is definitely one of my favorite
Hi Cherry! I love you and your videos sooooo much!!! You have brought me so much joy in this quarantine!
So excited for the unboxing, wizarding trunk has been doing some amazing ones! Also love Cherry been such a fan for a while :)
I love all them i would put all of them on my shelf if i had room and frame the watercolor pic
I’m so jealous of Cherrys Harry collection! I love it so much!!💜💜
Little did she know she was making everyones quarrenteen better
I love sherbet lemons too. I also love fizzers.
I always love these subscription box unboxings. They are really fun to watch❤❤
Just refreshed and saw this video, so happy
It would be fun to kinsugi that broken mug. I found a method of faux food-safe kinsugi using resin that I want to try out eventually. It's too bad you had so many things break.
I NEED THAT WAND !
In terms of taste my favorite sweet is cauldron cake but overall chocolate frog is my favorite because of the collectors card its like a kinder egg but better lol
So glad to see you making videos again.
The Dumbledore’s office pin & the key are great! 🔑 x
When Cherry was saying “But I don’t want to eat on camera” my mind erupted and thought Cherry you are doing food reviews
I finally got to taste a sherbet lemon, and I LOVED them! Never knew what they were before, now I'm obsessed!
The Darkest Dawn was a cracking film. Just putting it out there.
I loved the memory vile and the potion bottles. Wish I had gotten the box. I had a chance to get it when they offered a limited supply of leftovers. But I could only get one and really wanted the Halloween box their offering.
Cherry: shakes box vigorously, opens box the glass is broken.
Me: what an amazement
I think it says something about this community in that when I came across this video, it was only 23 minutes old and had over 32,000 views. :-)
Love cameraman Chris! 🥰 Nice moments through!
i swear, cherry, u get more stunning every video
Can we just appreciate how stunning Cherry's makeup looks! ❤️
Lusm Cherry! 🍒❤️
This box was beautiful! Great review Cherry! Still can't get enough of your bookshelfs!
Love that headmistress candle.
love your hair and your outfit , very cinderella tone too tho with how the headband and color is, some might say Jasmine, but i feel its almost that white or color that Cinderellas was in the original movie, glad you were wonderful to be thoughtful of the makers , that they arent fully repsonsible for package once it leaves their warehouse, items as we know can always be replaced, which im sure theyd be lovely to do , box itself was extremely clever, I feel this is something I would do if I had the $ to invest in it myself.
I am obsessed with your wand!! I love the blue part 😍😍 I love your content 😊😊
7 year old draw my life got me back into your channel!
Hey Cherry! Im a huge fan of you and HP and I'm a fellow Gryffindor, can u pls do a lesson like DADA or potions for all us students that have had to be sent back home?? I think it would be a really cool vid xx
Love your new wand💙😍

Hi Cherry🌟 I love your videos and especially your unboxing videos
It's a shame a few of the items got broken. That mug would have looked great in your magical collection. Have you managed to get it replaced?
You may have already seen this video since I'm commenting late. Ben and J Carlin made a theory video that included the connection between the first potion he mentions to Harry in Philosopher's Stone and Lily. I had no clue about that until I watched it.
the sherbet looks so good
