Time to Cast Your Spell at The Wizarding World
Anna Trosper6.9.19If you are a big Harry Potter fan like me, then you will definitely want to get an interactive wand in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. No trip is complete without one! So where do you get one and what do they do? I am here with all the answers and to help you plan a very Wizarding trip!Where to start? Well, first there are 22 different interactive wands to pick from and all are inspired by your favorite characters from the Harry Potter films:
- Bellatrix Lestrange
- Cedric Diggory
- Cho Chang
- Draco Malfoy
- Fleur Delacour
- Professor Dumbledore
- Ginny Weasley
- Harry Potter
- Hermione Granger
- Luna Lovegood
- Professor Lupin
- Mad-Eye Moody
- Professor McGonagall
- Narcissa Malfoy
- Neville Longottom
- Nymphadora Tonks
- Ron Weasley
- Sirius Black
- Professor Snape
- Lord Voldemont
- Yaxley
- Death Eater Snake
Just incase you need more options, they also have a few wands that are not based on a character but instead are unique to the witch or wizard’s personality. This will be the hard part; what wand are you going to get? While you’re thinking it over let me tell you where you can find these magical wands.
When you are in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley in Universal Orlando you can find the interactive wands at Ollivanders and Wands by Gregorovitch.
When you are in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Hogsmeade, in Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando, you can find them at Ollivanders. There is also a wand cart on your way to Hogwarts Castle. If you have time, I recommend you visit the wand keeper in Ollivanders and see the magic of a wand choosing its witch or wizard! Wands can also be found in the Universal Store as you enter Universal Studios and also in CityWalk.
So now that you now where to get one, what can you do with this interactive wand? Glad you asked! Once you have your wand you are ready to cast spells in both Wizarding Worlds. When you get your wand, inside the box is a double-sided map that shows all the spell casting locations. While meandering through the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you will notice gold medallions on the ground. This is where you stand to cast the spell and it may show proper wand movement as well. A few of them are tricky and might take some practice. With some training you will be casting magical spells in no time!
