The Noble CollectionHarry Potter Wand in Ollivanders Box 14.9 inch (38cm) Harry Potter Wand With Replica Ollivanders Wand Box - Harry Potter Film Set Movie Props Wands

Ah, Harry Potter, what can I say? I’ve been a fan since the books first came out and have basically grown up with Harry. I bought one of the illuminating Harry Potter wands about seven years ago and I still have it, but somehow I always fancied the proper replica wands more. They somehow always felt when I picked them up in shops that they could do real magic.Well something came over me and I snapped and bought the wand. It arrived by Prime the very next day and I’ve more or less carried it around since. It’s pleasantly heavy and feels very strong. I actually think that there’s metal running through the core as it sticks to the magnet on the upper frame of my MacBook screen (yeah, I found this out my messing around and tapping objects with the wand!). I’m pleased that it’s metal as it makes me happier to stuff it in my book bag and bring it with me when I go to the library.The quality and detail is fantastic and it looks every bit as real as it does in the movies. I’d say Warner Bros. could have made it better by not putting a little WB stamp near the handle. It’s subtle, but it detracts from the magic somewhat when you’re just sitting about and admiring the thing.Overall, this is well worth buying for Harry Potter fans. It’s durable so I’m sure it would survive any abuse children might subject it to, and it certainly puts up with me chucking it in my bag. It genuinely feels magical and I love it. Now I have to decide which wand to buy next!!

I ordered this wand in the hope that it would ease up my life a little. It wasn’t cheap, but what do you expect when it involves Harry Potter’s own wand!? Eitherway it comes in a very nice sturdy gift box with an elegant sleeve. Though keep in mind that it lacks the metal clips with the wizard’s name on it that is included with other versions and that allow you to place the wand in a collection rack. The wand itself is very sturdy made of a strong material, it obviously saw a lot of action when in Harry’s possession, but it’s structure remains quite solid.Now, the issue with my wand is that none of the spells I tried to squeeze out got me a satisfying result. “Accio dad’s beer” got me my wife’s facial mask. The ‘Auamenti’ spell made it rain peas!. I tried the ‘Lumos’ spell to light up the place several times when my Iphone ran out of power but on the first occasion only a large grasshopper emerged from the tip of the wand. When I tried again it started to shoot popcorn!. Such inconsistent and unexpected outcomes can actually be quite dangerous, so be warned.Therefore I use the wand now mostly for decorative purposes. Maybe I buy another one and use them as chopsticks in Chinatown.

Father Christmas brought this for our 8 year old boy. It was the best Christmas present ever and he is still playing with it. It's the imagination. Out of all the gadgety toys and lego and everything else, this simple "stick" has given him magical pleasure! Constantly. It goes everywhere. It got treated like a lightsabre a few times and got bent so he asked for another one for his birthday. It isn't easy to bend them - they are sturdy - but 8 year old boys can bend anything lol. One thing he loved most about it was the Ollivander's box. The presentation really does make a difference. Each night he would carefully lay it back in its box and fold the gauze over it lovingly. Best present ever. The Ollivander Noble Collection one is the only one to get in my opinion. When his wand got bent we got an "illuminating" one for his birthday and he says it's rubbish - it is rubbish - lightweight and plasticky and nothing like this one - so it's going back and we'll get another Ollivander wand. Be careful what you buy!

This is a collector's item - a very convincing Harry Potter wand. Comes in a beautiful case, with velvet lining etc, v exciting, my daughter adored it. However, moral tale, her second day owning it, she annoyed her little brother with it, poking him til I cracked, grabbed it and broke it over his knee. It's resin, not pliable, won't withstand rough play. Be aware! I didn't read the warning that it's not a toy and it's quite breakable. Expensive to replace...

For over £25 pounds I was skeptical for a wand however its presented brilliantly and does appear to be just like in the movies (so my son tells me). The wand itself is made of some sort of ceramic and feels very sold and heavy although I dont know how tuff it is in a childs playing hand. The detail is fantastic and my 9 year old Harry Potter fan loves it. I have told him its more of a collectible than a toy and I think he will treat it accordingly. Its probably not for younger children who may well perform a spell involving bashing it against something hard as it looks like it would break.All in all expensive but worth it.

Though this wand is very authentic looking I have to warn any prospective buyers......I doesn't work!I have tried every spell from the books and...Nothing! I even tried a Tommy Cooper move, still nothing!The only thing I can now do with it is to wrap it up as a Christmas present for my Harry Potter mad wife,perhaps she can get some results from it!On a more serious note this,as I said earlier, is a very authentic looking copy of Harry Potters wand from the movies.It comes in a really lovely copy of an Ollivanders wand box.After a recent trip to the Harry Potter film sets in London where similar Wands were on sale for ,a pound or two less than these but to my eye were not as well made and the box was not an Ollivanders so my choice was this one!
