Harry Potter fans around the world know that the wand chooses the wizard, and now a brand new collection of Wizarding World of Harry Potter interactive wands has magically appeared in Universal Theme Parks around the globe including here in Orlando of course!
The new Harry Potter wand collection at Universal includes 12 interactive Ollivanders wands that can be used to cast spells inside the parks around the world.
In addition to the 12 new wands that can be found at every Universal Park, there is also one exclusive wand that you can only find at each location: Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Japan, and Universal Beijing Resort.
Each wand is designed with a different wood and core that Ollivander uses, which includes unicorn hair, dragon heartstring, and phoenix feather. Each wand core from Harry Potter has a different meaning and experience. For instance, the Wizarding World states that wands with unicorn hair produce the “most consistent magic,” while dragon heartstring wands are the most powerful, but can easily turn to the Dark Arts. This is the wand core that Harry Potter has, but if you want the rarest, you’ll want to grab a phoenix feather wand. This wand core has the “greatest range of magic.”
The new collection of Harry Potter wands will come with a “wand lore” insert, which is the first of its kind. This extra detail will share all the different properties of your chosen wand and “the attributes of its ideal owner.”
Here in Orlando, the exclusive Larch & Phoenix Feather wand at Universal Orlando Resort is a tan wand made with larch wood and a phoenix feather core, and features a twisted dark brown handle.
With the correct incantation and flick of the wrist, guests can use their wands to cast spells at select locations in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.
