This is a cool little product to own if you're a Harry Potter fan, and it makes an excellent flashlight too.

It looks just like Harry's wand in the movies, only a little bigger, probably so they could shove the electronics inside of it. It takes two AAA batteries. The whole tip of the wand is a bulb for the light, which you can turn on and off by waving it or by tapping it. The light is very bright when turned all the way up. You can adjust the brightness and dimness of the light by pressing and holding a button (which is disguised as part of the wand and not just a button sticking out).

It also comes with a very nice display box to put it in when you're not using it. All in all, it's a cool product to own if you're a Harry Potter fan and want to pratice some spells.

I love my new Harry Potter Illuminating Wand. It looks real, feels and weights fine, and the light function is quite fun. It's also most brighter than i expected; it can actually be use like a flash light if the power goes off. Plus it looks very enduring and you can play and "practice" your spell casting as much as you want with it. It doesn't looks fragile at all. It also comes with another function that allows you to adjust the brightness of the light as you see fit. I recommend it.

This wand was a hit!!! It is well constructed and easy to operate and a wonderful gift for the imagination of the child!

I bought this item and assumed that this is the 1st generation of Harry Potter Illuminating Wand by Noble Collection
which shows as the package in the amazon.com website.
However, it came with the 2nd generation of HP wand as sold in Barnes&Noble which has tag price of $26.99 online.

Anyone with some research would know that the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation is that the 1st generation
wand dose NOT has the battery key opener, which is easy for loading the battery but the 2nd generation has less detail
of color in the wand and looks more like a toy (even they may come from the same modling, but the color make a lots difference).

I don't know why the seller post the box of 1st generation wand and ask for $39.99, but actually selling the 2nd generation
product which has different product and package (there is no Harry Potter image on the outside box for the 1st generation package).

The image on the website is misleading. You will get the less quality color HP wand even it's the 2nd generation with battery key !!
which you can buy with $10 less from Barnes & Noble

My son (7yrs) is a huge Harry Potter fan and the challenge has been finding a wand that he can play with that doesn't snap on the first day he gets it!
This wand is a bit pricey...almost 50 bucks after shipping, way more than I ever expected to spend on a toy like this, but if you have a true harry potter fan who loves to run around the house pretending he's the chosen one, this is probably the best wand out there as far as durablility goes. Another cool thing about this wand: It lights up when you flick it! very cool! we are happy with our purchase, and my son does take really good care of it because he likes it so much!

At first I couldn't get the blasted thing to work! I tried several different batteries and then I bought new batteries! But still it wouldn't turn on! But then in my frustration I gave it a good shake and WOW light blasted out the end and lit up my room! This is so bright and you will feel so cool shaking it on/off. There is a very hidden button in the wand that changes the brightness, one of the coolest things I've seen! You'll impress a lot of people!

I bought this toy for my 4 yr old who LOVES H.P, you flick it to turn it on, flick to turn it off, hold the button to make the light brighter. I am constantly yelling at his dad because he tries to play with it too, now I will have to buy Voltemorts wand! Great gift.

The wand came in the post yesterday (speedy shipping, too!). Yes, I am in total agreement with all the other reviewers: this wand is AMAZING. The quality of the item--the details, make, and 'packaging' (the special keep box) is OUTSTANDING. My husband and I played with it last night :) and found the LED light which turns on/off and brightens by a inconspicuous button makes this wand seem magical. Truly, this is as close to the 'real thing' you are ever going to find. Worth every single penny. This is my most favorite gift I'm putting under the tree for my six year old this year, and there is no doubt that it will be his as well! THANK YOU!

I received the wand for my son for Christmas. Its durable and really sensitive. And the bulb is bright which my son will love. The only glitch is that the key that is used to open the battery area was really flimsy and broke. I had to end up using my key, which is fine, but at first I thought I had stripped it. Other than that, I am quite pleased!

My son a b s o l u t e l y loves this wand. Ususually by this time after Christmas, he will have lost, destroyed or forgotten about a toy he begged for. Not this one. He puts it away in its neat little box and everyday tells me something else he can use the light for. I do not regret "Santa" scrambling to get this gift.
