Hydor H2Show Magic World - Gargoyle and Book Decoration Combo Pack

Very good in quality. The book has an open bottom, so you can't prop it anywhere you'll see that part, also if you have it at an angle you'll want to block the back so fish don't get back there. The Gargoyle also has a hole in the back, but it can be filled with gravel and rocks if you want to. The packaging isn't great - both mine were intact, though detached from their spots (they are held down with glue). The glue was easy to take off the gargoyle but a pain with the book. Overall the items are nice and of the quality you'd hope for the price.

Both look great however I love the spellbook even more than the gargoyle. Looks awesome at night in my aquarium with a green light shining across the runes etched onto the cover. Had to have a replacement shipped to me because the gargoyle was broken in 2 but Amazon was quick to send a replacement.

I received this item today and I must say Im very disappointed with my purchase. The gargoyle was loose in the box, and one of the wings was broken off. Then there is the big dried glue blobs on the bottoms. I really had to work to get it off. I do love the look of the gargoyle, but the broken wing ruins it for me. I will not purchase items from this seller again.

Love it

Gargoyle showed with a Broken wing

I received this quickly, but the gargoyle was in pieces. It had no protective padding at all, the worst packaging I have ever seen for a fragile item. The Book was surprising intact, and is very pretty.

When I saw the Magic World "Hogwarts"-themed background, I just knew I had to have a Harry Potter aquarium! I know these are not officially licensed Harry Potter products, but it's pretty obvious -- the background, in particular -- what Hydor was going for with this themed set. We purchased the gargoyle and book (Hogwarts: A History, undoubtedly, yes?) and the owl in the tree, as well as the background image, for our 16 gallon bow front aquarium. The products (the gargoyle and the book) arrived loose in their packaging. As they are resin, there was no chipping, though. Both pieces had two large globs of dried glue on the bottoms, which I assume was how they had been originally anchored in the packaging. Prying these dried spots of glue (each around the size of a penny) from the decor was really difficult! I placed the gargoyle and the book in the tank and they look quite nice, especially with the background. The owl piece of decor is almost 12" high, which I did not realize when I ordered it; it's way too big for a 16 gallon tank, so I will be returning the owl (it's an attractive piece, though, for a larger tank). I opted to skip the crystal ball and the rock formation, which was a good choice as the pieces are of good size and the entire set could easily overcrowd a smaller-sized tank. The gargoyle and the book are, obviously, hollow, so there are holes to keep them from floating out of place. Normally one would hide the air holes for aesthetic reasons, but I left the air holes in the book remain slightly above the substrate to provide a refuge for our African dwarf frogs. It works perfectly for this purpose. All in all these are nice pieces of aquarium decor and are perfect for a wizarding or Harry Potter theme (again, I realize these are not officially licensed Harry Potter products; they just happen to match a Harry Potter theme nicely). I will try and upload a picture showing the gargoyle and book in their places. I would recommend these decor items.

Arrived broken in box. Item was lose in box, questioned if it was a returned item sold as new. Cheep, made in China over priced POS.

The look and the reality make the fish thank look as real I would strongly recommend this to everyone that have fish tanks

I ended up ordering this twice, both times it was broken. Must be made of cheap material
