Product Description

Editorial Review

This sword, measuring 2 feet (including the handle) is a decent replica of the sword seen in the Harry Potter movie, complete with "Gryffindor" inscribed on the plastic "blade" in pseudo-Celtic lettering and griffins, unicorns, and other fancy doo-dads on the handle. The top selling point though is that the sword makes crashing, clanking sounds at the push of a button, so young magicians in training can more vividly imagine they are engaged in a real sword battle. There are six fun, realistic sounds in all--making this a weapon that's, well, magical. --David Stoesz

My two sons (aged 3 and 7) received their swords this afternoon, and they are absolutely thrilled! My children have the Harry costumes and enjoy dressing up and imagining they are Harry Potter. This sword just finishes the costume. It's very well made and realistic looking (compared to the one in the Chamber of Secrets). Definitely a must have for Harry Potter fans.

My four year-old loves this sword! It makes sounds like "clanking swords" and "swiping air"...cool, but it NEEDS BATTERIES - the small kind like hearing aide batteries. Shortly after we received the sword, the batteries died and the search for replacements began (they should have designed this toy to use AAA batteries). Three stores and three dollars later - done. My kid also bent the sword and it has never really returned to its original shape (it did not break though).
