The Noble Collection Harry Potter Wand

I bought this for my 6-year-old son who requested I get him the wand of Harry Potter when I went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter one weekend. I bought him the wand he requested at the park and after returning home, I found out the wand didn't make it home with me. I rushed to Amazon to locate the wand and made this purchase and hoped it would be the same as the one I had bought at the theme park.I received this wand within the 2-day Amazon Prime shipping time which was wonderful! When I opened the shipping box and saw the wand box, I was a little nervous. The wand box is different from the wand boxes at the theme park. It is a bit fatter, and, the wizard’s name that the wand belongs to isn't displayed on the outside of the box. I opened the wand box and as with the outside, noticed the inside of the box was different from the theme park wand box. Just like the movie, once the box is opened; there are 2 flaps of shimmering fabric to “open” before you get to the wand. The wand lies in its spot surrounded by a soft “bed” covered with a soft red fabric. This difference from the theme park bought wand is actually quite nice, because the wand’s bought at the theme park are held in place by a hard plastic holding case inside the wand box. The wand itself was the same wand I purchased at the theme park (I know this because I compared this wand to a friend’s son who has the theme park bought Harry Potter wand). The only issue I have with this purchase is that there is nothing on the box or the wand itself to identify as the wand of Harry Potter vs. a different character of the story. Besides that one issue, I am very happy with my purchase. It came in the time promised, it comes with a wand box, the inside of the box is very nice compared to the theme park box, and the wand itself is the same as the wand I purchased (and lost) at the theme park. All in all, I would definitely purchase another wand from here again, so long as I was able to verify from the picture on the shopping page that the wand I was buying is for the character I wanted, as once the wand comes there is nothing to state which character it belongs to.

great

Buen

I honestly thought it would feel very plastic like, but it has great weight to it and looks awesome!!

This was purchased as a Christmas present for a family member that loves Harry Potter! We have bought these in the past through the WB Shop and it’s the same great product and quality! Very happy and perfect for those collectors or fans out there!!

your paying for the trademark. they are all poorly made, but that will not matter to much if your a fan. pretty fragile and details are meh. She loved it, that is all that mattered to me. I wouldn't suggest trying to cos-play with it. they chip easy and if you drop it . . . say good buy. paint probably will ware quick too, dono tho.

It's not a bad replica, but it's hard to really mess up such a simple prop. I'm not a Harry Potter fan, I got this as a gift for someone. But a simple search on Youtube for the scene where Harry receives the wand for the first time shows they didn't really care to make this as accurate as it could/should have been, bearing in mind the simplicity of the item.- the box dimensions are not movie accurate.- the wand thickness is not movie accurate.- The picture Noble Collection has for this needs to be updated. The handle may bear the same level of detail, but the shaft is more mundane looking than how it is in the picture. It's not awful, but just not as nuanced.- The copyright logo on the wand is in the most obnoxious spot. I don't know how they decided this was okay, it should be on the bottom base of the handle, out of sight.All that being said, the presentation is rather nice, it does have a nice weight to it, and for the price it's not a bad replica. I just don't know why they made the decisions they did with this wand. If they needed it to be a bit more expensive to make it movie accurate, well, fine, I don't mind spending an extra $20 for it. But as it stands, it is the most accurate wand prop available, at least in its price range and not from some special manufacturer I am not aware of.

We had just finished all our Christmas shopping (or so we thought) when our 8 year old said that she has decided that she is going to ask Santa for a Harry Potter wand and spell book. Resigned to the reality of keeping the Santa magic alive another year, I head to Amazon to see what is available. The realism of this wand caught my eye over the lighted-tip training wands because of my daughter’s insistence on a “real wand”, so even though it was more than I wanted to spend I grabbed it without too much debate.It arrived yesterday and the first thing that hit me was the packaging. The simple but serious Ollivanders Wand box and distressed ribbon packaging make you feel like you’re opening up the real deal. The wand itself sits snugly within a recessed indention, but is easy to remove. It is, as you can see in the photos, a very nice replica. I haven’t spent tons of time studying the wands from the film, but the notes state it’s a faithful reproduction and I believe it. It’s heavier than I thought it would be, and feels durable and substantial when holding it. I’m a casual fan of the books and films and was surprised that I got this excited to be able to give this as a gift for Christmas. Definitely worth the additional expense.
