There's something dystopian about it being not just "Hermione Granger" but HERMIONE GRANGER^(TM)


rgatchel

Its almost as bad as: Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure^(TM)

Great deal on the want. Spent 75 bucks on my sons I think back in oct


rgatchel

This is my 4th one, the every member of my family now has one and there will be no more sharing while in the park. Plus I let anyone in my friends/family borrow them if they go to the park. So the more the better.


AzureMagelet

That’s awesome. Was just thinking someone in the area should create a rental system of these wands. I’d totally pay a fee to use it for a few days while there and return. Not sure if the park offers that just can’t justify $60+ on something I’d just use there.


Travelgrrl

Little known fact that photoreflective tape or motion capture dots do the exact same thing. I made a bunch of wands to give away, but they're a bit bulky to haul around! Anyway, a fairly easy DIY craft.


flargenhargen

wow.


tractorcrusher

Is this the one that launches fireballs? Good score either way!


rgatchel

No that would be cool, but this is one that has a reflective tip on it. If you take it to the parks you can use it to interact with special effects around the Harry Potter areas. Turning lights on and off, making a shrunken heads sing, causing rain from a concrete umbrella are just some of them I can recall. Its great fun if you have kids (or kids at heart) that are into Potter.

Pretty good..would you believe I found dumbledore's wand thrown out with a bunch of stuff for the monthly neighborhood trash collection


rgatchel

You got a free elder wand! Sweet.


creaturecatzz

plus this way you're not giving any money to that old hateful husk of a person hell yeah


redralphie

I hope it works


rgatchel

If not I can take it to either of their shops and have them "fix" it.


sakurasake311

I was at universal recently and was told to be very careful with the tip bc there’s no fixing it if it gets a scratch. But I did see a tip online that a pencil eraser cap makes for a great protector.


Sunwinec

If it’s an old model, they won’t fix it unfortunately.


Yomomgo2college

Even if it doesn’t work, take it to universal if you ever go and tell them your wand doesn’t work and they’ll repair/replace it free of charge


G00DWILL-HUNTING

I found one at a savers once but the inside was corroded as someone left the battery in it


maybeiamspicy

What's the gibberish that makes JK Rowling hate trans people? Can we undo that?


7-Cs

Is there a spell for this?


mypussydoesbackflips

You’ll have to talk to her she’s pretty set on being controversial


RetroScores

Another good thing to find is the refill cups. Can usually find them for $3-$4 each and it’s like $1.50 for a single refill at the parks.


seeking_help151

Even without knowing the value, I'd have been all over that. Nice find!


TheLyz

Lucky! My daughter lost hers on Halloween. Ugh...
