Of the Harry Potter wands that I own a new addition is the Hogwarts Architect celebration wand – let’s take a closer look
If you missed it, Warner Bros.recently launched a bunch of new wands and these are exclusive design wands based on location, souvenirs and magical creature wands
now I believe these were supposed to be launched when that New York store, that Harry Potter store was supposed to open but was delayed for obvious reasons…
It was fun to see them online but I personally like to see wands in real life, I like to see them up close, I like to pick them up, I like to compare
and then decide which I want to get but when they were launched everything was closed
That was until the Warner Bros Studios reopened and I was able to go on a recent trip and see all the wands that were available in the UK and then compare them
This Hogwarts Architecture wand was actually bought for me as a gift for my birthday
but now we get to finally open the Hogwarts Architecture wand
okay so it comes in these different style boxes, it has like a colour strip around, so the lid basically doesn’t close fully
but it exposes the colour on the side, which is very pretty
it comes with this really quite fancy card, that has the Hogwarts Architecture story and the Hogwarts emblem at the back
“Inspired by the intricate designs and hallowed halls of the prestigious magical school, the Hogwarts architecture wand celebrates the school’s unique aesthetic and architectural detail designed with the historic legacy of the school in mind, this wand is for those who dream of walking the halls of Hogwarts.”
well isn’t that all of us? So that’s a cute little card, I really enjoyed that
and then in the purple slip, so it’s not ribbon, it’s actually like kind of crate tissue paper and inside it has got the foam, like moulded to the design
I would say that it is a really beautiful wand, I really love the handle and it’s obviously all about the handle the design does extend…
through to the rest of the wand into points again it almost looks arrow-like, I would say but it’s all about the handle
As you can see, each of the Hogwarts houses are represented, so we have Hufflepuff, we have Ravenclaw, we have Gryffindor and Slytherin
I would imagine this is the entrance to the Great Hall, there’s the headmaster’s office
The middle part looks like the Hogwarts bridge but it could just be windows out of Hogwarts, but it looks very similar to that bridge
Then the roof is reflected as the Hogwarts many spires, I love the the wooden feel of it and look
Painted to I guess replicate wood, but I do believe that they are made of resin, so they’re not real wood so if you do purchase them don’t expect real wood…
They are mass produced, but I would say a very high level of detail and craftsmanship has gone into this wand
So it’s not like you’re getting an inferior quality because it is resin, I think they are really very good
For some reason I didn’t get youtube footage of all of the Celebration wands, but I did make a Reel on Instagram
where you can see all the wands that are available at the harry potter studios and you can see them showcased there
So there we are, that’s the Hogwarts celebration wand, I think it’s pretty great and I know that it’s not a character wand
but I do love the design of this and you know I love me some wands, so of course I was gonna get one
