Great wands!!

Postby greg manwaring » October 20th, 2009, 2:17 pm

I just got back from London, where I picked up a wand from the 'Noble Collection' located in Hamleys. They sell replicas of ALL of the magic wands of the characters from Harry Potter. The wands are gorgeous!! resin replicas, with metal rod inserts - solid with a good weight to them (the balance point is 1/3 away from the back of the wands). I chose the Sirius Black wand and LOVE it!! You would NOT BE DISAPPOINTED with them! They go for 25 quid each or online for $35.

Great looking wands. Do these look like wood/metal/bone?

Great looking stuff on there.

Yes, Edward, they do. Voldemorts bone looking wand is pretty cool as it stays in place by outward pressure from your forefinger and little finger! Cho's wand is very magical looking as well.

While the Noble Collections wands are attractive, I personally am happier with the feel of real wood, and would invite those who are similarly minded and looking for a Potter-baton-style wand to examine these --
http://FortressWands.com

Wandmaker (and cabinetmaker) Brian Humphrey handcrafts each wand to order from a wide range of domestic and exotic woods, and annually creates the trophy/wands for the winners of the Chicago Magic Competition. They feel solid and authoritative, gleam like fine antiques, and reflect a level of quality that far exceeds their reasonable price.

Best,
