My 9-year-old is not a collector, but an absolute fan of Harry Potter. Girlfriends they organize whole weekend to invent at Hogwarts, watching Muggles who do their market and cast spells, so far with sticks ... The wand comes therefore expand the range of caster and I have to say if I initially thought it was a bit expensive for a piece of plastic, it is delighted; the handle is nicely decorated, hand wand has a certain weight, it is not an ordinary plastic wand, it's a nice article that comes in a beautiful box, with no doubt this is a " real "magic wand. A very nice gift for her birthday from her granny.
