J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World Crate Review + Coupon – January 2017

I can relate to many of the comments. T-shirt was wrong size and the socks are men’s size. I have no use for the jewelry. I have ordered some cool officially licensed postcards from Zazzle with Fantastic Beast references… I wish this box had those types of items… stationery, notepads, pens, postits. Something I can use. Always love candy too. I’m with the others. One more box to give them a second chance otherwise I am cancelling.

Everyone else that is not satisfied, please fill out your satisfaction survey that loot crate emails us.

I wish I could return the whole thing. This box was a total let down. Even purchased with the Black Friday deal, I still feel like I got ripped off and regret subscribing. I also thought we’d get a high quality time turner! Wasn’t that what was shown as a spoiler?

Other problems with this order too: The socks I got were men’s size 10-13, so they are unwearable. And the shirt was also the wrong size. What do they bother having us fill out a size profile if they are going to disregard it?

I contacted Loot… we’ll see how long it takes them to respond.

How do I set the time on the watch?

I loved the first box so much. But I was really disappointed with this one. The tshirt came in the wrong size, I thought we’d get a high quality time turner- I was SO excited about that. But then this one- no details, basic on a faux leather cord. The other trinkets don’t work for me. My funko was Ron. I wish they’d just have a store, filled with high quality items, where we could choose what we want in the box (with add-ons).

So for people who want March to be their first box, any recommendations on when to subscribe? (I have zero Hufflepuff merchandise and love the idea of a house-specific box!)

I didn’t subscribe to this but as a Harry Potter fan (I’m 56) I think the items are cool.

I don’t really get these boxes. Everything in there looks super cheap quality. And people pay $34.99?

Not what I expected for a box I assumed was created to appease die-hard Harry Potter fans- especially with JK’s name on it. There are currently other Harry Potter boxes that include candy potions, actual Fantastic Beasts, Harry Potter inside -jokes, fan art & even t-shirts that come in other colors than black… FYI- most Harry Potter fans already own at least one wand, house scarf, Deathly Hallows necklace/symbol and Time Turner. Was kind of hoping that they would try harder. Not a fan of Funko Pops- especially non-exclusive ones… or pins. (Who wears/has a use for these pins?!?! I realize they are in Loot Crates, but this is JK’s box- why pins? Why not wands? Maybe bookmarks or pens/quills?) I’m glad the boxes make kids happy, but they need to remember that their original fan base started in the late 90’s- Those people are now 20’s/30’s+ in age, hoping for a glimpse of magic as we go through our muggle work week- & are willing to spend money to do so. Seeing JK’s name on the box puts more pressure on this product. We appreciate her creative abilities. She has trained us to look for magic in everyday life and to not accept mediocre/ordinary. These boxes lack possible potential. The Loot Crate Harry Potter team needs to take a note from Star Wars fan boxes and step up their game.

My daughter loved this box as much as the first one! She loved the Snape/Always tee and the time turner necklace. Just so happens she received the LootWear for Her Fantastic Beasts scarf today too. So she wore the tee, the necklace, my HP lightning scar silver earrings from Geek Chic Monthly’s November box. The scarf happens to be black/gold on one side, black/silver on the other. Around her neck you could see the variations of both and it pulled together beautifully the grayish/silver of The Snape tee and earrings and also the gold of the time turner necklace. She also put on the Prophecy pin on her jean jacket and of course wore the socks. She was totally adorbs! Going to put her pick up on instagram! She is going to wear the pocket watch necklace with a different outfit. 🙂 she received Luna Lovegood which thrilled her as a fellow Ravenclaw. This is her fave box . FYI she is thirteen.

A lot of this stuff looks like items you can get from Hottopic.

As of right now, I’m content with not having signed up for this – but maybe next month I’ll be wow’d.

This was my son’s first box (and really it’s like we share the box LOL). He LOVED the pocket watch, wasn’t too thrilled with the time turner but perked up at your suggestion of using it on his keyring. He loves the shirt and I love the Funko POP (we also got Sirius) as I am collecting the Harry Potter ones. I now have two in my collection. He wasn’t too keen on the sock design but I may steal those too for wearing with boots. 🙂

Looking forward to the next box!

I liked the previous box slightly better. But in this box the t-shirt and socks are pretty awesome. I am not a fan of the POP figures (got Sirius Black), I understand that a lot of people collect them, but I wish they didn’t include them in every single box. Can’t wait for the March box 🙂
