Review: “Supernatural” Con*Quest Journal Pack, Plus Preview the New “Harry Potter” Line!
Ahead of the release of the new Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts line from Con*Quest Journals, which will be coming this October (and yes, you CAN preorder them now!), we’re taking a look at its line of licensed Supernatural-themed journals and accessories. Stick around after our review to get your first look at the newly licensed Harry Potter weekly planner and the Dark Arts journals box set, and find out how you can enter to win a set of your very own!
My favorite fandom to test my new friends or convention acquaintances with, other than Potter, of course, is Supernatural. Are you a Dean fan or a Sam fan? Do you have the hots for Papa Winchester, or do you live and die for the snark of Crowley?
My love of all things Supernatural had me jumping for joy when the folks over at Con*Quest Journals wanted to let us review an item or two for the site to give Potter fans an idea of what might be coming in October for the Potter line. What they sent me did NOT disappoint. First, let’s look at what these journals are used for and how you can easily personalize them for your own convention experience, and then I can show you all the great items I received!
Any Supernatural fan worth their rock salt knows exactly what this is.
This was the first item that greeted me when opening up the box of goodies from our friends at Con*Quest Journals: a replica of John Winchester's hunting journal, complete with his medals, notes from the television series that we only get to see in a handful of scenes, and some seriously creepy ghost photos. Tucked inside the pocket of the journal are faux newspaper articles about strange happenings all over the United States, including the Mystery Spot, where Dean died over 100 times on the same Tuesday that repeated over and over again, and a ticket to the Supernatural play from Episode 200 of the series. There are a lot of tiny details hidden in this replica of Papa Winchester's journal, so it stands to reason that these types of details are going to be expected from the new Harry Potter line.
Finally, the Con*Quest team threw in some great extras for my review, which included a rosary, a Supernatural licensed hunter's journal (which will be retiring soon, so you better get it now!), a "Road So Far" map, and the Pig 'N A Poke tote bag.
For fans like myself, these inside jokes and bits of history from the show being showcased in this way is a respectful nod to the show we love and the journey of the characters we have grown close to over the last 13 seasons. Convention goers can pack up their Supernatural Con*Quest items and take them to the Supernatural event of their choosing, knowing that they have a quality product to place their con photos in, jot down their favorite con memories, and simply surround themselves in the Supernatural universe completely. What a great touch!
So now to the upcoming Potter and Fantastic Beasts line. The first items to be released will be a 7×9 Harry Potter weekly planner for 2019 and a Dark Arts journals box set. There are plans for many more items, which we literally cannot tell you about because we’ve made the Unbreakable Vow, but you’re going to want ALL. THE. THINGS.
Take a look at these gorgeous photos of the new products and a fun video from our friends at Con*Quest showing the journey to the Harry Potter line that’s now available for preorder!
These items are both available for preorder, with an estimated shipping time in late October, but we will soon be working on a giveaway, including one of each set, plus a grand prize of both items. Keep checking our page to find out when the giveaway will take place since this giveaway will be open internationally!
