July 2018 J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World by LootCrate subscription box review


This is the July, 2018, J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World by LootCrate.  It's delivered every other month, priced at $44.99 with shipping.  This box is a few weeks late.  It shipped a couple days ago, wasn't supposed to be here till Saturday, so I was shocked it arrived today!

The box picture looks a little sparse due to there being no shirt.  Later in this post there's an image of the note LootCrate included apologizing over the fact that there was manufacture issues with the shirts, they're delayed, but will be sent soon.  I do appreciate the fact that they went ahead and sent the rest of the items.  It's disappointing that the shirt isn't in the box, but as least we're getting one.  Whenever there isn't a shirt in an HP LootCrate box I feel something is missing, even when there's other wearables.  At the bottom of the blog there's a pic of the shirt.

July's box theme is Magical Creatures: "Feathers, fur, scales, wings, fangs-the Magical Creatures of the Wizarding World take many wondrous forms.  This collection celebrates the many creatures and beasts that have captures our imaginations, from Dragons to Nifflers!"


 Niffler Coin Bank

"Nifflers are attracted to shiny things, which makes them the perfect treasure finders (and keepers).  Save your loose Galleons for a rainy day inside your own personal Niffler coin bank."

It's a bank!  At first when I saw this Niffler I thought, "not another Niffler," as we received a Niffler Funko Pop figure in an early box, but it's a bank, which suddenly made this figure cool.  I have an overflowing coin purse full of loose change, so this will by handy.

This is also the only non-exclusive item in the box.




 Fantastic Beasts Cookie Cutter Set

"Bake some sweet treats worthy of Kowalski's Bakery with these creature cookie cutters, which imprint a Bowtruckle, Niffler, Swooping Evil, or Erumpent onto your favorite cookie dough recipe."

I'm a little "Meh" about this.  The cookie cutters are cute.  They seem like they're made well.  I wonder how well the imprint will show up when the cookie is baked.  It's nice that LootCrate is thinking outside the box with this item, and not sending something we've received in a different variation.



 Magical Creatures Sticky Notes

"Remember to care for your Magical creatures with these adorable sticky notes featuring Hagrid, Buckbeak, Hedwig, Fang, and a Thestral."

These sticky notes are pretty cute.  Like the chibi design.



 Nagini Horcrux Pin

"During the Battle of Hogwarts, Neville Longbottom killed Voldemort's serpent Nagini with the Sword of Gryffindor--destroying the final Horcrux.  Celebrating this victory with the last pin in our Horcrux series."

This is the last pin in the Horcrux series, and a lot of subscribers must be happy now that they have the entire set, and that this is such a good design.  I love that Gryffindor's Sword is detailed on both sides and is removable.



Creature Sihouette T-Shirt

"The perfect attire for an aspiring Magizoologist, this enchanting tee depicts the silhouettes of some of the Wizarding World's most well-known Magical Creatures.  How many can you identify?"

Alas, the shirt we did not get.  I really like the design.  It will be nice to see in person.





So there you have it, Magical Creatures.

Next box is a repeat of last years theme, "Back-to-school."
