Harry Potter Special #1: The Misterious Package
Finally, I'm gonna satisfy your curiosity about this misterious package I mentioned I'd get at my birthday
But... before anything I'd like to thank each one of you that wished me a happy birthday.
It was a lot of people. I couldn't answer everyone, but I read every comment and I was really happy for every message I got.
And... I'd like to send a hail and a HUGE thank you to everyone who made that surprise video for me.
Guys, I was not expecting something like that. I was so, so happy.
Specially, because you took the time to plot everything for me. I was like, wow!
I can't even express how you made me happy
[ Cute giggling ]
It's a slap on the face of who says there're no real friendships on the internet. No long distance friendship.
Hmm, I adore you all so much
So let's get started. To the said misterious package...
[ ♪ Suspense music ♪ ]
This is so much heavy. You have no idea!
So guys, I got the Harry Potter chest, with the seven books and a sticker pack.
This is the sticker pack, that I was supposed to stick on the chest. What I'm not doing...
Because... I like it the way it is now. I signed my name on it.
But I'll stick them somewhere else.
I haven't done the unboxing of this box because I got it at my birthday, on a sunday morning.
I was all messed up. I would not film myself and show my face at... the morning.
Then... my bad for not doing the unboxing
I won't show details to you because... it's too heavy and I don't have another place for my camera.
So, It'd be complicated if I tried to show it standing up
But if you want to see details, I will leave below the link to other people who bought it too. Because after all, it's the same box.
I won't make a big comparison between the brazilian and american books, because a lot of people have already done it.
But, I'll tell you my impression.
The first thing I though was really cool, is that, in the jacket, there're some tiny golden things. I don't if you can see it here.
And, it's cool. There's high relief.
The jacket is totally different. My clockwork princess is a book on english, is hardcover and has a jacket too.
And the jacket from this one here is different... It's like... sort of rough, kind of high relief. I can't explain it very well.
And it's beautiful guys, very beautiful.
The Tatiana Feltrin already made a comparison between the brazilian and the american, then I'll leave the links below to everyone that has already compared the editions.
Diego from the Potter Observatory, have done this too.
But my impression with this book is... You see someone talking about it and you don't understand very well what exactly they want to say.
Because, you have not got your hands on it.
But its paper is totally different from other books that I have seen. Even from my Clockwork Princess.
The paper is super thick. You have no idea. So smooth. It feels nice. Smells so good.
You have never seen a paper this thick. It's really, really different.
Well, I decided to buy the books on english for a reason a bit unusual.
It's not because: oh, I'll buy the american books because I can read english, then I can buy a better version.
It's not necessarily that. I decided to buy the american books because...
I was going to buy the brazilian version and finish my collection. It's missing the Prisoner of Azkaban, the Chamber of Secrets and the Half-Blood Prince.
But, I was at the library the other day and I got my hands on this Goblet of Fire. Then, I noticed that this version was different from the ones I have.
The edition I have on that shelf is pretty old. I bought them long ago.
And it was totally different. The layout was another, the book was thinner.
It wasn't an economic edition. It had a shinny title, a cover flap. A regular edition.
This is my Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. You can see that it's all worn out. It's tearing up right here. It's pretty ugly.
But, anyway, the layout it's not that bad, despite the paper being white.
The italic is cool. It has the pages number at the bottom. I think this edition is pretty.
But, my Order of the Phoenix, that's pretty worn out too. Poor thing!
It has really narrow margins. I don't know if you can see it. The pages number are different. The font is another. It's... unlike and, ugly.
And I don't know... I don't like those changes in editions. They are all different from each other
Until the fourth book, I liked the edition... ('in quotes').
I still believe those books are too expensive, since they are so poorly done.
Besides that, I used to like them. There's this nostalgic feeling about it, because I read them on portuguese the first time.
But after I saw that I would pay an absurd price - because, you know, I would finish my collection with these editions.
When I saw that I would pay an absurd price to complete a collection of books so unlike each other and poorly done, I said no.
I'm getting the americans books instead.
I realized that I if I'd buy the american books separately, on hardcover, pretty as I wanted.
It would be almost the same price of the box
The I asked my familiars. My mom, my boyfriend, my dad. Myself included. We put together and bought it. For me!
I finally have the complete collection of Harry Potter
♪ Hallelujah! ♫
And I'll finally be able to read it again, because I've not done it yet.
Because I always wanted to reread from the 1st to the 7th and I didn't had all the books.
I won't talk about the books themselves, like review and all. Because, Harry Potter became something even personal for me
I don't know. I don't think I'd feel comfortable at all talking... review, speak critically about Harry Potter.
This is the 1st part of my HP special. After all, now I have the books
And I'll tell you my story of how I met HP. Why I like it. How it was being a fan at my time.
Wow, saying 'my time' seemed like it's so far away and I'm really old.
But I'll tell you many things about HP. It'll be my experience with it. I'll not review it!
I hope you were not expecting me to do it.
So... That's it. I don't think I have anything else to say.
Oh! You know that I'm a big Doctor Who fan. Well, I got a Sonic Screwdriver! From the tenth.
♫ Tracking alien life ♪
That's so cool! Have you idea of how much it's cool?
I always said the tenth doctor is my favorite.
So I always wanted his sonic screwdriver. And it's so cool! Look at that!
[ Child play ]
I felt like a child when my boyfriend gave me this.
It's so good being a nerd, having a nerd bf and everybody being a nerd. That's so nice.
I must be doing a book haul when I receive all the books I bought for my birthday and the ones I earned.
Somebody asked me on twitter how many books I earned. I said 8, because 7 are HP and one is City of Lost Souls.
I wasn't supposed to say that, so it looked like I said it to sound like a lot. But it was the HP box.
Then I must be doing a book haul, with all the books I bought for myself - for my birthday - and the ones that I earned.
I'll just wait them to arrive through the mail, so I can show everything at once.
Changed my mind...
for not making you too curious, I'll just show a bit of the box.
At the top, there's this 'Deliver to', where you can sign your name... Hogwarts.
There's nothing at the back.
And that's how it is inside. It has another box here. I dunno if you can see it.
This box can be removed
And there's this lock here, that you can open...
just like this.
I think that's all. See you next time so...
Bye!
