The Noble CollectionHermione Granger's Illuminating Wand

We purchased this as a prop for a Halloween costume. However, I wish we had purchased it prior to our trip to Universal. Although they are interactive, the wands at the park cost over $75, which is a lot! These are much most reasonably priced, but they are not as interactive as the wands in the park. They do light up though, which is really cool!

For Harry Potter Fans

Very nicely made. My wife liked alot. Great addition to her Harry Potter collection.

Bought as a gift. The seven year-old girl loved it. The battery does run down a little quickly if used often.

Sturdy plastic, but the light is rather dim. I was looking for something that would be as useful as a flashlight and this isn't it. Still cool though

If you love Harry Potter franchise then this is for you. Best looking wand out of all other wands. Very realistic. Not heavy. Put batteries and tip of the wand glows and it looks more like wand in the movies. My 8 year old loves it.

A birthday present for my 9 year old granddaughter. She was absolutely thrilled. The wand has enough detail on it that it isn't just a plastic stick. It is true that it is very sensitive. A slight flick turns it on and another flick turns it off. I showed her how to use the very small key to disengage the batteries when not in use. So far, we put batteries in it in June and now it is August and have not had to replace the batteries. She doesn't play with it everyday, but often enough and for long periods of time. She loves that by pushing the small leaf you can make the tip of the wand grow brighter. The case is very nice and substantial. She loves the picture of Hermione on the front.

Yes that's correct, I'm 22 years old and I bought this toy for myself ;) I've always been a huge fan and I grew-up with the characters, but I'm usually only ever extremely nerdy in my own house. This toy is wonderfully fun, I bought it, believe it or not, because I'm aways waking up in the middle of the night to get a drink or use the bathroom, and I thought this would be much sweeter than a flashlight or a night light.It is larger than the collectable wands, and much less in quality than them too, but that's because this is a toy. It's larger because two batteries need to fit in there, and quite obviously made of plastic.I can't stress this enough to those negative reviewers, you're paying for the Harry Potter name, the price is not going to go down. I'm an avid collector, and yes it's as much as the collectable wands even though I myself would consider it less of a collectable and more of a toy, but it's also ten times more fun since it really does light up with just a flick of the wrist, and off again in the same manner, which is better than any other light-up wand you'll find out there.My conclusion: If your'e willing to spend the dough, this really will be worth it, you or your child will go bonkers for it. To you it may look too fake, but to your kid, they are a real wizard! How big of a price tag can you put on that kind of joy? By far the most fun thing I've added to my collection of HP items. And I plan to use it constantly.
