Hey guys!! Welcome back to another HAUL video!! It has been a while since I’ve done a haul video and this one is all about Harry Potter Merch and Romance …
I feel the same when it comes to HP. Don’t let it bring you down if you wanted something and it brings you joy than enjoy it. I like your haul. I love romance books and just recently found a bunch of romance booktubers so I’m looking forward to your romance videos. Maybe I’ll subscribe to some new boxes 😝
Not gonna lie when you held up the chocolate frog pillow and said how much it was i thought, ugh i love it but i don’t know about paying that much but then you pulled out the chocolate frog and i thought, totally worth it! I have my weaknesses. 😩 Your haul looks like mine do when i go to Barnes & Noble. 😂
Realistically J.K. Rowling is set for life financially. So the way I see it, whether I buy HP merch or not it's not really going to have any effect on her (it's like a drop of water in an ocean of money). I don't agree with what she said, but I've separated her from the HP creation a long time ago (seriously lady move on, stop trying to retroactively change it! 🙄). It's a lot of people's happy place, so not judging. That chocolate frog pillow killed me when it actually had a chocolate frog inside! Does it smell of chocolate too? Because I've got the pin that does and it's awesome! 🐸🍫😂👏😍 Desperately wish that Barnes & Noble existed here in Europe 😢 I live in Belgium, so I only have 1 Waterstones store that sells purely English books, I count myself lucky for that small blessing! 📚🥰
I love Nora Roberts and Julie Garwood. You should try Jude Deuveraux (I'm sure I didn't spell her last name right.) Her book titled The Black Lyon is my absolute favorite!!
You do what you want to with your money. Don't worry about it. We all have the right to love a series even if something goes on with the author. I love the fact you love romance. Then you go and hold up Gabriel's Inferno book. I knew about this book for years but wasn't for sure if I want to read till I watched a video and found out its going to be a movie. Its already out on passionflix. They have it in parts so we get everything from the book. Part 2 came out today. I want to read it first before I watch it. Also there are 4 books in the series. I can't wait to see what romance book boxes you get.
I don't think you should have to apologise for loving HP. People these days are too self righteous and attention seeking. You don't need to be one of them. 💙
Which romance boxes did you choose? My friend's sister is an author and 2 of her books will be in August's Bae Crate. I'm excited to see which ones you picked and how you like them! 🙂
If you like romance with fantasy elements (paranormal romance) then I recommend the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J R Ward and the Lords of the Underworld series by Gena Showalter 😉
Nope don’t think less of you! If you want it buy it, you work hard for your money and can treat yourself. I love the niffler!!!! If I stopped buying my favorite things over an actor’s words or action I would never buy anything. I like the fandom part of the art not the creator, learned a long time ago, characters are better than real life
Look everyone has opinions and you don't have to agree with them. It shouldn't affect your love for her work and the merchandise. I don't care about the opinion drama. Too much carp is going on in the world right now to add to it. Move on. I love J.K. and her work and need her imagination right now to keep me sane.
✋ Right There Tabby! You have nothing to apologize for let alone do you need to justify how you spend the money you word hard for! Rowling doesn’t define Harry Potter! and her personal prejudices shouldn’t destroy the happiness we all have gotten from the stories and continue to get! Especially in this weary world in which we live!! NO JUDGMENT EVER! Be Happy Always! PS: If you like romance have you watched Outlander? It’s A W E S O M E!!!!
Ahhhh! Mr. Squishy Niffler! Obsessed! I keep a bowl of squishy for my grandkids to play with and squeeze whenever the get overwhelmed. But this one should definatly stay as your own. Map is good size- more readable. Pillow was cute. And I just bought the Orchid Throne at B and N yesterday! How funny. Picked up a Occamy and Cornish pixie as well. So don’t worry about spoiling yourself with HP merch. It’s your life- enjoy it!
I think its a tough topic for sure, but its kind of ridiculous how much money she has already made and will continue to make. It seems obvious that its not going to affect her by not buying some merch. That being said for the most part im also trying not to buy more merch. The only thing I know I will continue to buy is the House Editions that are coming out. I think the houses is something the community made popular and we all enjoy and like alot of HP love doesnt have to do with the author. I want my full Ravenclaw series because how identifying as a Ravenclaw and communicating with the community about our houses made me feel.
I recently just finished my collection of HP movies with the bonus documentaries plus bought both Fantastic Beasts Blu-rays. And I bought the Quidditch Harry Funko to go with my Ginny one. I was definitely one of the people saying that we both need to separate the creation from the creator as well as support more independent artists and not buy licensed merch. I still stand by that. However, I am also not going to condemn either you or myself for buying the occasional licensed items. The reason is because of a comment I heard from a recent reaction video. This guy was introducing his girlfriend to Harry Potter and his reason for it was because HP got him through such a rough time as a kid and that the fandom were such supportive, caring people. THAT is what I see when Iook at my merch, watch the movies, read the books, and/or talk with other fans. Those are the things JK might have planted the seed for with her books, but each of our personal experiences are what have grown the fandom into what it is. These are the things that belong to us.
I love Nora Roberts. I do say after you have read a lot of her books. She for sure has the same format in the way her stories unfold. I always feel that I am.talking to a dear friend every time I pick up one of her books.
My husband won’t let me go to Scotland by myself either I have a whole love affair going on with Scotland. I’m also a sucker for any books that deal with Scotland especially the highlands
I'm not really sure where I stand about buying licensed merch I have bought a t-shirt since everything's gone down but most of my stuff I buy used anyways so there's that. I still love Harry Potter regardless of how shitty JKR is I still love some Michael Jackson songs even though he's done bad things too. There's been a lot of people that have done bad things in their life but we still can appreciate their artwork. I thrift almost everything I have whether that's through an actual thrift store or through eBay or poshmark that's where I get almost everything so I feel better doing it that way also cuz I don't have a lot of money. Also I will never judge anyone who decides to get rid of their Harry Potter stuff because they don't agree with JKR and the stuff that she's saying and I won't judge anyone who decides to keep their Harry Potter stuff either. What I do whenever I talk about Harry Potter I just state that I don't agree with what JKR is saying.
Harry Potter actors and creators have all said they do not agree with J.K. Rowling! So the entire magic world is not just one person. I don’t agree with her in any way, however I still have love for the wizarding world.
Have you read Nora Roberts paranormal romance series yet? I love all of them but especially her Sign of Seven trilogy, Cousins O'Dwyer trilogy, Circle trilogy and several more!
I'm glad for your words about HP merchandise. I feel the same and it is wonderful you continue showing them. Most of the channel I followed because they used to show HP items, are not going to continued doing it😢Thank you!
There is nothing wrong with buying lincsed merchandise from Harry Potter, there would be no Harry Potter or fantasy beasts without JK Rowling and some items you can only get if you buy lincsed merchandise. Hogwarts is my happy place, Harry Potter help me when I was struggle with depression and reading the books make me happy.
