So I went onto Pottermore- er- I mean the Wizarding World website (It's so hard to remember that!) as I wanted to research some things for some possible new classes that I am coming up with, and saw there is something called a Gold Membership that is $75 (rounded up) USD for a full year! That seems like an insane price!
I wanted to know what everyone else thinks about that, is the membership worth it? What about the price? Would you ever sign up for it, or have you already?
I will say the personalized house journal looks amazing and the 20% discount on the Wizarding World merchandise is tempting..

Re: Wizarding World's Gold Membership
In my opinion the Gold Membership is only worth it if you can purchase enough merchandise to recover that $75 membership fee through the discounts, which means you are spending $75 to spend even more, but I suppose it is worth it for a merchandise collector who plans to buy a lot of merch throughout the duration of the membership, other than that, I have always thought early access benefits to be kind of overrated, so if I were to get the membership, I would probably have my budget already planned out for the year to spend on the stores for which the membership provides a discount.

Re: Wizarding World's Gold Membership
I agree. If the price value equals the benefits then yes but otherwise I can imagen it being expensive for people that use Dollar. In my country it comes down to 1413,27. Which is just plain mad. The only way to really be okay is when you receive merch or benefits that match the value otherwise just buy what you want separately or have something custom made by an artisan. They would much better appreciate the pay.

Re: Wizarding World's Gold Membership
I agree, it is too expensive. Especially for something I wouldn't likely use.
