Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince… and Wands!
July 16, 2009
Now you can gear up for most recent Harry Potter movie by Warner Bros., Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - now playing!
So grab your wizarding wands and locate Platform 9 ¾ to jump on the Hogwart’s Express to travel to the land of the world’s most famous wizard - Harry Potter! You don’t have a wand? Well, you have come to the right place!
Now available at the Heavenly Swords Harry Potter Shoppe, you will find seven new wands – one for each of your favorite characters from the Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling!
Although I personally recommend ordering all of them at once so your collection is instantly complete, I realize that for some of us this isn’t feasible. So, please allow me to help you decide which wand you will begin casting your powerful magic with…
Do you have a sweet, loveable, and feminine side? Then Cho Chang’s Wand might be for you! Purchased from Ollivander, this wand can do a whole lot of magic from Defence to Charms.
Do your friends find you to be annoying because you are a “know-it-all” who always expresses your opinion (yet, when they need help they always come to you first)? Then Hermione Granger’s Wand might suit your style. This wand was confiscated by Snatchers, so the one you will be receiving is not the original.
Is the finger pointed at you when anything goes wrong because of circumstances beyond your control, even though it isn’t your fault? Sirius Black’s Wand will surely fit in your hand so you can cast nonverbal spells!
Perhaps you have minimal talent but aren’t the best at anything. You might have an extreme fear of spiders and suffer from an inferiority complex. If this is the case, then there is none other for you besides Ron Weasley’s Wand. Simply hold it and chant, “Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!”
If extreme paranoia makes up a portion of your personality, you probably fit in well in the category with Mad-Eye Moody (despite the fact that you may both of your eyes still). You can fight against the Dark Arts with Mad-Eye Moody’s Wand.
Are you a leader, brilliant, and an excellent companion and father-type figure? Do you think you can face Lord Voldemort without the tiniest bit of fear? If so, you must get your hands on Professor Dumbledore’s Wand!
Maybe you aren’t any of the above, but instead, the most evil, grueling, hideous creature in existence and you want nothing out of life but full power over all the Wizarding and Muggle worlds alike. If this sounds like you then you need Lord Voldemort’s Wand. I must warn you; however, that you will not win and will face your number one fear in due time!
We also have Harry Potter’s Wand for the invincible hero in you. Be the star of the show with his wand, the Harry Potter – Gryffindor Sword, or the highly recommended Harry Potter – Gordic Gryffindor Sword!
Now you can cast spells rigtht along with Harry and his gang while sitting in the theater (however, I don’t think you are allowed to light them up during the show - that may be bending the rules a little)!
