Geek Gear World of Wizardry August 2016 Subscription Box Review

Geek Gear has a special Harry Potter themed edition of their monthly subscription box, now called World of Wizardry! When you sign up, let them know which house you’re in, and they’ll take care of the rest, delivering a box of magical items to you every month! The items are not authorised or official, but they are good quality and very creative. I love how the box looks like a chest.

Before we jump in, I just want to point out the amazing customs label that made me laugh all the way back from the post office.

“Non alcohol soda beer.” Yeah, I’m thinking there will be some Butterbeer in there, but their description made me laugh.

This Ravenclaw was happy to see blue tissue paper!

The product card is the same wood sort of look as the box itself.

Next month’s hint is something to do with the Dark Mark — maybe a theme about villains, or specifically Vol — sorry, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!

First look!

Hogwarts Shirt Oh my god, this Hogwarts/Disneyland mashup couldn’t have come at a better time, since I’m heading to both next month on vacation! This shirt is a unisex M, so it’s too big for me, but I’m going to give it to my best friend who’s going with me, so we’ll be appropriately geared up! There were four colour variations sent out depending on which Hogwarts house you chose upon subbing.

There was a package sealed with a Hogwarts crest!

Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer ($16 for 12-pack, $1.30 for the bottle) Okay, so it’s not REAL Butterbeer, but I’ve had this version before and I love it. It’s a carbonated butterscotch cream soda, and it’s awesome. Incredibly sweet, but as close to Butterbeer as you’re going to get.

Three Broomsticks Mug And you would of course need your own official Three Broomsticks mug to drink your Butterbeer out of! This small mug is the perfect size and easily filled up with the above bottle. I like making an adult version of Butterbeer (butterscotch schnapps and cream soda!) and I will definitely be using this! I’m guessing it’s probably not dishwasher safe due to the printing.

Another smaller giftbox was stuffed with house-coloured squiggles…

It’s the golden snitch! This necklace has a long chain and is a beautiful brassy finish.

It’s a watch inside! How cool is that?

Ravenclaw Flag Print We were also sent a print of our house’s flag, which is printed on high quality card stock. I love the design.

Hogwarts Express and Knight Bus Tickets And of course you’ll need your train ticket and also a Knight Bus ticket to make sure you get to Hogwarts safely! These replicas are also printed on sturdy cardstock and would be fun to use for cosplay!

I loved August’s box even more than I loved July’s! I am thrilled with my new mug and necklace, and I think my friend will love the shirt for our trip. This box is so creative and fun to open, and all the little details and handmade items are wonderful treats any Potterhead would love!

What did you think of this month’s Harry Potter Geek Gear box, and what house would you be in at Hogwarts?
