I recently visited Harry Potter world in Orlando and stocked up on souvenirs, but made a real faux pas not buying my son a wand, reckoning he'd prefer something from Jurassic Park... so, with his birthday coming up I thought i'd pick him up a wand, but didn't want to pay the ~£30 for the top of the range prop, in case it got dropped etc. By chance, Amazon recommended this item as it was similar to those i'd been looking at.
The quality of the casting is comparable to the £30 wands, but the quality of the boxes is better and it illuminates at the push of a button. Plus, it comes with a spare power cell, which was quite impressive. The only minor grumble is that the button needed a dab of superglue as it fell out (hence the 4/5 star rating), but other than that, very happy with this.
...and my son has now forgiven me :)
