📹 NEW Harry Potter Magic Caster Wand REVIEW I What a Shame
Recently, I received my “limited edition Heroic Magic Caster Wand” from the wizarding world. This official product was announced …
My Fiancé got me the defiant wand for Valentine’s Day and I have been looking forward to getting it. When I opened the box I was very disappointed to find that the stupid box was a higher quality than the wand.I can feel the seams where they stuck the halves together, and the whole wand looks as though it’s covered in a vinyl sticker. I still love the wand and think it’s really fun to do the spells but seriously I hope they make them better quality in the future.
I agree on being underwhelmed about the overall quality of the wand. I got the loyal wand and I was very excited cuz the commercials made it seem top-notch but to find out it’s just a cheap, lightweight plastic with very obvious seams down both sides and what I would consider a not so great paint job, $150 plus tax and shipping seems really high for what would pass off as a Walmart wand I have been enjoying the interactive features, though the correct form for spellcasting took a little bit to figure out. I totally agree with you that I’d say maybe five or six out of 10 but definitely not what I was expecting or hoping for
I got super excited to get one but I thought I would be able to use lumous casually to turn lights on and off, and was hoping it would pair to more devices (eg: smart lock and you could use alohamora to open doors..etc) but it kinda looks like once you’ve learned the spells, that’s sort of it. I’m glad I haven’t bought one yet, I just hope they improve it in the future
I feel so misled. I think we all do. I took it out the box for a few minutes, put it back in, looked at comments online, then submitted a request to return it the next day. The entire thing is absolute BS. Like everyone else is saying, it’s extremely cheap looking and feeling (that line gap down the side and the green and purple SPOTS along my defiant wand, wtf?) and on top of that, you can’t actually just turn a light or speaker of tv on and off can you? Spells just use those devices to make sounds and lights for the spell. The dueling feature is just whoever does the first three spells correctly which is lame and not even worth dueling at that point in my opinion because that isn’t “dueling” The ENTIRE thing is disappointing and a waste of money and I’m still so so very shocked this is an official hp product. Aaaaalso, I need to find the ad but someone else pointed out to me that one of the ads clearly shows the girl influencing more than 3 smart bulbs. Smoke and mirrors people
I grew up with harry potter so when I saw this wand I thought it could bring back the feeling i got when I was a kid. Glad I looked it up before I decided to buy it. I have a resin wand from when I visited the london studio with my parents in 2012, and expected this would feel like the same quality as that. Hopefully they make a higher quality product in the future, but for now this is a hard pass.
I got the Honorable and I got my husband the Defiant one. He opened his and It looks good, it’s plastic but nice. When I opened mine, I was heartbroken it looks so cheap, and I decided to look past it because you know it’s still cool, but then it died midway through my ceremony. And you can’t redo it. I’m really sad about how cheap it is, when my wand lights up you can see all the lights through the seam.. I don’t know, the wand idea is cool but the quality 🥶 ain’t it. Also I’m on the wizarding club and I pre-ordered these wands. The Heroic wand wasn’t even available when I bought ours. Kinda stupid, to have it set up that way, but not make it widely available, it seems they sent those out as promotional wands🙄 I am seriously considering returning. The box is 10/10 though, I just wish the quality was better for $150 per wand.
Hey – great vid! I was underwhelmed the moment I opened the box. The material feels cheap, lightweight and has gaps in the moulding. Compared to a couple of wands and other merchandise we have, this is really disappointing for an official HP product and is by far the most expensive (£149 in the UK). Mine is going back.
These are awesome simply for their collector value and aesthetic. The Heroic wands do have a Ltd Edt number, you can see it when you connect to the app. They aren’t as amazing as they were promoted to be, but if you’re a Harry Potter fan and collector they are an absolute must have, especially as they weren’t on sale for very long.
I’ve only used mine for two days and it’s put away on the shelf. Idk if this is my bad or not, but apparently I dont have any compatible devices for the wand other than a blutooth speaker. I didn’t see the list of compatible devices until much later. I contacted their customer service and they said the general “always working to improve/expand.” I should have known when they took my pre-order money immediately rather than at shipping that there would be some problems. I didn’t have any problems with mine charging or working. I got the Loyal. But this definitely doesn’t feel like a $150 piece. I’m still on the fence of keeping it or returning it. I just tested mine after not touching it for a week. It still played Hedwig’s theme and lit up, but I’m kind of ‘meh’ about it. Also I thought they said you could link this to your Wizarding World account? Because I couldn’t. Maybe I’m wrong there, too.
Mine wouldn’t work right the first couple times I tried, ended up fully charging it and trying a day later and it works better but after a few minutes the wand starts to drift where it won’t release the spell, and the touch activation seems to cover the whole base of the wand so I had to disconnect it from the app and reconnect and then sometimes place it back on the box for it to attempt to act as it’s supposed to, It’s a neat item but definitely not worth the cost and wouldn’t recommend – the concept is super cool but the delivery tanked sadly
I just got my defiant want for Christmas, and while I think its neat, I expected it to be more like the doctor who sonic screwdriver where you can control your TV vol, websites, turn on and off lights, etc. I’m not getting a FireCube just so I can see the same thing on my TV as I can on the app. I don’t hate it, it just didn’t live up to the expectations that they set 🙁 hopefully they can send an update in the future with more compatibility and features.
I would buy it if it was just like a 40 or 50 dollars and would work on the television, like some kind of mini game where you just learn spells (like you showed on the phone) and would maybe be able to duel (not a big duel, just a small face to face duel, not where you have to walk around). Or it should have been able to connect to Hogwarts Legacy. Now that would have been cool. With one of those cameras for the PS and the motion inside the wand and be able to really cast spells in the game.
I just got mine, I ordered the defiant wand I choose it be cause i liked the sleek black design. BUT the wand I received was matt black with silver and green pain on it which was very disappointing. And as you said the wand is very light made from plastic, for this price I thought it would be wood. I don’t know if anyone had this problem my wand wouldn’t light up when connected to the app. At this point the box was the only impressive thing. I’m totally getting my money back 🤣😭
I appreciate that the Heroic wand is the same trash quality as what us peasants got with honorable and the like. Anyways, I’m probably going to cut my wand in half, take out the parts and haptics and put them into a new shell that I make myself. Or return it, honestly considering the wand does not work with the app for me is a big bummer. I think all of our money we paid went to just the box..
I’m a massive Harry Potter fan yet don’t own loads of the merc for the simple fact….to expensive, sorry this was a dissapointment to you AD I was initially interested in this but when I seen the price tag and now your confirmation in the material….hard pass. Thanks for not sugar coating this either…to many would dismiss all criticism and laugh everything off Thanks for the article and have a great day🙂👍 (Also jumping is confirmed whoopee!!)
The fit and finish of the wands is pretty bad. The seam is so large you can see the lights through it. It’s not painted on one side in the light guides. My home is filled with smart devices (TVs, lights) but none of them are compatible except my bluetooth speakers. They dropped the ball on this one. For most people, like a lot of toys, it will sit in it’s box for the majority of it’s life. There is little to no incentive to continue using the wand once you’ve seen the effects. This is something I would have liked to try for 20 minutes instead of buy.
I was horribly disappointed. I got the Defiant wand and the quality was BAD. It feels light and cheap. Also, the “paint” is rubbing off on my hands. You can see the seel where it is put together as the two parts dont really line up. Also, it only works with a small amount of TVs and Light Apps. Totally not worth the price!
