Perfect for pretend-play and costuming

I’ve always been impressed by Spin Master's various toy collections and new releases. I expected more of the same from this Wizarding World Magical Collector Wand, but surprisingly found myself let down. This line features collector wands from major Harry Potter characters and are meant to be (I presume) decorative collectives. They’re offered as blind boxes, meaning you won’t know which character’s wand you’ve received until you open it up to be surprised. My nieces were disappointed to have received Ginny Weasley’s wand, particularly as she’s not really a main character in the series. The wand itself is around 12 inches and seems to be made only of plastic. I honestly thought there would be a bit more heft to it – I think I was distracted by the “Die Cast Icon” label on the front of the packaging. I just assumed the wand would also be die cast metal of some sort. It also comes with a display base/stand and a corresponding die cast icon that’s unique to each character. In the case of Ginny, it was a mini Arnold the Pygmy Puff accessory. All this being said and my disappointment over the materials aside, my nieces did have a good time playing pretend with the wand and acting out various spells that they had picked up from the movies. I think this is a great addition for role-playing and Halloween costumes, but it falls short as a purely ornamental collectible for HP fans.

I received this as a #freeproduct in exchange for my honest review.

Only for Harry Potter fan

The quality of plastic is nice and detailing job is well done. Apart from that it doesn’t provide any additional functionality (sound/light). My kids played for short time. It will be nice to carry with a theme-costume.
