Noble Collection - Harry Potter - Hermione's Time Turner

I already have a keychain of this (the Wizarding World one) that I use as a keychain, though would work as a necklace. It is larger, but less detailed, and has a plastic center instead of glass. If you want a durable Time Turner that you can wear whenever, that is the route I'd go.That being said, I have coveted this official one for years and with my Christmas Amazon Gift Card I finally got it.It is smaller than I expected, though if I'd read the specs closer I'd have known. I think it is closer to the movie size (can't remember offhand the size). The details are all really nice, which is why I wanted it (the keychain one is very nice, but it doesn't have the same level of details). The box is also great, and I keep it in that. I'm not sure if I'll ever really wear it for fear of it breaking, as I see many low ratings are because it has broken. It is a collectible and made of glass, so only so much of the blame can go to the manufacturers. It isn't intended for hard wear. The chain is fairly short, so I don't think it would be easy to bang it against anything (I have the 2013 one, not the old one - that one may have had a longer chain, I don't know though).Overall, for a collectible it is fine and I am very happy with it. It is very pretty and nicely detailed. I don't have issues with the quality that some people have (I saw some people saying it was very cheaply made and so on), but then I think that may be people wanting to wear it as jewelry regularly. I plan to keep it in the case, so visually it looks great. Even physically the construction is nice. The only 'issue' I had with it was the writing is painted on or something instead of an imprinted or carved like in the movie. Not sure the font is the same I remember from the movie, either, but it has been a while since I've seen it, so that may just be my memory. Aside from that, I have no problems with it.

Okay, this is something every Harry Potter fan needs, a lot of people are saying that it breaks easily and things like that, but it's really how you use it. The little knobs at the side do turn the rings in the middle, but they also unscrew the entire system if turned a certain way. Another thing is, the way you turn them will either tighten the device to the point of not being able to turn and the rings will stay ridged too, or they will loosen the device and make the rings turn similar to the movie, but, the device comes apart. It really is more of a decoration piece but I have worn it out without any problems, it's fun to have and show off, but you can't really expect to use it as a fidgeting tool because the device will either come apart, or not move at all. I suggest keeping the rings tight and just wearing it like a charm, this way you can still enjoy wearing it but the necklace won't break. The box is nice, it's obviously a little less of a value than it could be but honestly, it's still really nice. Even the ugliest of materials can look nice if used in the right way, people need to remember that sometimes.

I have only started purchasing from the Noble Collection, and I would say that their officially licensed replicas are the best craftsmanship/price in the market. I am not one that is easily convinced, since I scrutinize and am very particular with the quality and craftsmanship of everything I buy. Believe me, I have shopped around!! There is no comparison for the quality of their items. Their price is worth the item, and their customer service is old school - prompt and courteous!!The Time Turner is of collectible quality, and is also wearable. I don't think that the glass is as fragile as it used to be, because mine was just fine after using it a few times.. I wasn't being too careful with it (meaning, I didn't wear it while doing sports activities, etc). I would believe their claim of it being gold plated since my skin is very sensitive, and I never itched while wearing it (as I usually would have, had I been wearing any typical fashion jewelry) So far, I am pleased with this piece and would recommend it to any fan who likes collecting things that is of excellent quality, and is reasonably priced.The box is a gorgeous house for the actual piece, and the actual time turner is a stunning collectible piece.

I was very excited to find this item on Amazon. It came in a great display box. The time turner was a little challenging to attach to the gift box and took quite a bit of time. The gift box looks like a grandfather clock with a glass panel and the top of the box comes off. The necklace is supposed to hang from 2 hooks to allow the time turner to hang. The hooks are attached to the top of the "grandfather clock box". The necklace chain is supposed to be hooked to the hooks. The challenge is to hang the correct necklace link to the hook so that the turner hangs evenly. ALso, the links are pretty tiny as are the hooks. Because the item was a gift, I stuck with the gift box and worked with it until the necklace hung correctly. The price of the necklace was a little steep, but it was a graduation gift and this is all that my neice wanted. The time turner was a huge success and once a gain I have secured the position of number one Aunt.
