This wand operates on 2 AAA batteries, which are included.
BUILD QUALITY
The whole thing is made of plastic. Kind of disappointing for an item that costs almost a Benjamin. The quality of the plastic is mediocre. It's definitely not the same quality of solid plastic you'd find on a DSLR. The metal end of the wand where the batteries are inserted is not metal, just metal plated plastic. That part is the cheapest feeling part of the wand. There's also a green, plastic gem-like accent, which cheapens the overall look/feel of the wand rather than enhance it. They could've at least used a real metal end cap with a glass accent gem. The end cap is a bit difficult to screw on and off the wand.
LOOKS
Overall, the wand looks really similar to its pictures on the web. However, the metal end piece looks cheaper in real life. It does come with a really nice sheet of instructions, definitely several grades up from the cheap instructions that come from Ikea products.
OPERATION
This wand is able to learn 13 functions. 11 of them are fairly easy to master. However, there are 2 gestures that are almost impossible to execute. Here's a list of all the gestures, listed in order from easiest to impossible to do:
- Big swish
- Flick up
- Flick down
- Flick left
- Flick right
- Tap on top
- Double-tap on top
- Rotate clockwise (do it slowly)
- Rotate counter-clockwise (do it slowly)
- Push forward
- Pull back
* Tap on side (never works)
* Double-tap on side (never works)
The wands gives you feedback by vibrating. It vibrates different numbers of times to return different types of feedback confirmations. It would've been SO MUCH COOLER if the tip of the wand glowed (like in the movie) to show feedback.
SUMMARY
This wand looks decent and works fairly well. It's definitely fun to use and your friends will all want to attend Hogwarts after they watch you cast spells and magically control your tv! However, this product could be so much better, wait for version 2!

Purchased this "magic wand" for my husband, a huge Harry Potter fan and a remote control addict. He loved it and immediately began to teach the wand various commands. I find it a little hard to get used to, thus the slightly lower rating on ease of operation. He finds it all kinds of fun and can't wait to show it off to our friends and guests. Delivery from the supplier was on time and as expected. The wand came in a beautiful box which is used to store and display. I'd recommend this for any magic lover or remote control freak!

I bought this as a wedding gift for my friends. He is an IT guru and she is a dedicated Harry Potter fan. THEY LOVED IT and spent a couple of days playing with the wand. I think it took about a half hour each to learn the different actions to make it work but overall, they say they are very happy with the product.

Fun novelty!
Took some figuring out to get the motions just right, still a little buggy if you're not certain of the movements. Fun and straightforward nonetheless!

Magic Wand
This product works as it says. I hooked it up easily with my tv and my moon in my room. So many commands for so many inferred codes. Overall it is very good.

Very cool
Very cool, well build product. A bit hard to do some of the movements, rotating being the hardest. Not a complete replacement for a remote but a very nice talking piece for guests.
