Special Edition Hogwarts Trunk –
Ravenclaw Edition
While not a
Ravenclaw fan myself, this Special Edition blue Hogwarts Trunk is nice to look
at. A friend of mine that happens to be
a Ravenclaw bought this one recently. The
blue and stained wood of the 4 bands really make this trunk style pop like the
Slytherin trunk. Although the liner I
saw is different than pictured on the Keene/Fx, she feels the new liner is actually
an improvement. I will add her photo
very soon.
Special Edition Hogwarts Trunk –
Gryffindor Edition
Ok,
so you all know I’m a Slytherin and reviewing the Gryffindor trunk is the most
difficult to do in a neutral manner.
However, with that being said, the Gryffindor version of Hogwarts trunk
is well made as well. Again, it has the
leather handles and 4 dark banded wooden ribs as you can see. In my opinion they don’t stand out as much as
say the very cool Slytherin and Ravenclaw trunks. But, for a true Gryffindor fan, this trunk is
a must have. The one I have seen in
person has the same liner as is pictured.
Special Edition Hogwarts Trunk – Slytherin
Edition
Ok,
so as you know I had already purchased the regular Hogwarts Trunk when it
originally came out. However, when I saw
this beautiful Slytherin Green Hogwarts Trunk, I had to have it. The Slytherin trunk is the same size as the
regular trunk, however this one is of course painted green and came with a 4
oz. bag a Wizard Wonder Beans. The
Wizard Wonder Beans are Jelly Belly jelly beans and there are many more flavors
and beans here than in Bertie Botts. It
also came with the 12 travel stickers, plus a Slytherin crest sticker. If I really bang the trunk up (which I don’t
think I will), I can always use the stickers to cover up the damage, haha.
The trunk looks much better in person than
in the photo and has an aged or ‘antiqued’ feel about it that I really enjoy;
and it even smells good (sadly can’t attach
smells on blogs). The lining I received is the same as
pictured, but I hear that it is now different.
Keene/Fx told me that that liner was no longer available to him. This is definitely a must have for any Slytherin!
I
wish I could get another Golden Snitch Window Splat…!!
HOGWARTS TRUNK by Keene/Fx
Finally
someone made a real steamer trunk for all my Harry Potter gear. The Hogwarts Trunk by Keene/Fx found on
Amazon.com It is
all wood and brass, (no cheap cardboard,
like the crappy WB DVD set!), holds all of the hardback Harry Potter books, plus
Beadle the Bard, all the double disk DVDs and wands etc.
It
is a beautiful cherry wood stained box, with an aged or antique feel to it (but still very solid), and is lined with a nice faded maroon damask design. There is a leather handle on either end (which are not meant to be weight bearing with all the
books inside). It also comes
with 12 Harry Potter themed travel stickers, which will be fun to give it that ‘well
traveled look.’ Some of the stickers
include Hogsmeade Station, Godric’s Hollow, etc.
Video
coming soon.
This
is a must have for any Harry Potter fan!
I’ve got to hand it to Keene/Fx for making such cool stuff!
Golden Snitch Window Splat by Keene/Fx
Ok,
so someone got the smart idea of making a Golden Snitch look like it was
imbedded in a windshield.
The
Golden Snitch Window Splat is a fully sculpted snitch with the bottom cut off
and attached to transparent cracked glass static cling.
I
was at first hesitant about putting it on my back windshield as indicated,
fearing it would fly away as soon as I got on the highway, but that did not
happen. In fact (as the description
suggests) I drove up to 80 Mph and it didn’t move a bit!
