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)!

“He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander. Born in 1592 in the Highlands of Scotland and he is still alive. He is immortal. For four hundred years he’s been a warrior… a lover… a wanderer.”

MacLeod is an immortal who can heal almost any wound inflicted upon him, with the exception to a wound to the throat. Because of this, he and other immortals tend to have substantial sword fights with one another while wielding huge and powerful swords!

It features a sharp, hand forged carbon steel blade with bo-hi groove.

Zatoichi: Sword of the Blind Swordsman

January 29, 2009

Zatoichi is a well known fictional character of Japan from the Edo period (during the 1800’s). Upon first impression he seems to be an innocent, blind traveler, wandering around the country showing his musical ability, performing acupuncture, and showing off his superb swordsmanship skills, especially that of iaido. He carries a cane sword (because blades were banned during this period) that was specially made for him. Despite his calm, quiet characteristics, he actually can be quite fierce when faced with his foes. Known for his protection over the innocent, Zatoichi is an incredible fighter and a fearsome opponent.

The shikomizue (which literally means “prepared cane”) is functional and comes with a fully sharpened carbon steel blade! So you can use your skills to take down samurai and yakuza just like the film hero! Its blade features grooves on one side of its handle for orientation and the red scabbard and handle are highly lacquered. It also includes a custom wooden sword box with engraving and a cloth sword bag!

This Zatoichi Sword of the Blind Swordsman (red) sword can be an extravagant addition to your Hadmade Swords, Movie Swords, or Asian Swords collection!

Measurements:

Overall Length: 39”
Handle Length: 11”

Gimli’s Battle Axe

December 30, 2008

Gimli, of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, a noble dwarf of the Longbeards and son of Gloin, was of the most important kind of dwarves. A true hero and friend to the elves, Gimli is known to be both dauntless and loyal. Gimli was a skilled fighter who befriended Frodo Baggins. They joined together, amongst others, on the quests to the Lonely Mountain and also to destroy the One Ring.

Battle Axe is the primary weapon of Dwarves. Its shape and appearance identified that Gimli is a member of a particular tribe. Gimli’s Battle Axe was retrieved by him at the Mines of Moria. It was once owned by the Dwarf-lord. This two-handed axe was his pride and joy, (as well his beard).

Gimli’s matchless axe was created for two-handed combat, making it easy to rapidly swing in either direction. This has enabled him to ferociously slice through the flesh of many orcs, trolls, goblins, and wargs. He also carries his Walking Axe, Bearded axe, and two Throwing Axes.

Specifications:

Includes a parchment certificate of authenticity and a wood display plaque!
Overall Length: 37-3/4″
Axe Head Length: 11-1/2″each
Axe Head Thickness: 3/8″
Axe Head Material: Forged tool steel, weathered and distressed finish, false edged
Handle Material: Solid wood, genuine leather-wrapped grop, cast metal parts with an antiqued brass plated finish
Plaque: 7-1/2″ x 10-3/8″ x 3/4″ wood with a silkscreened design. Hardware, instructions included

Lord of the Rings Sting Sword with Scabbard

December 18, 2008

From Peter Jackson’s ever popular Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Sting Sword came about. It was made in Gondolin after the first age. This sword was first given to Frodo by Bilbo before the Fellowship set from Rivendell. Frodo later handed it down to Sam.

The Sting Sword with Scabbard has runes etched into the blade that are said to be in Sindarin, the Elven language. The words displayed are: “Maegnas aen estar nin dagnir in yngyl im,” meaning, “Sting is my name – I am the spider’s bane.” Its name didn’t come about until after Bilbo had used this elvish short sword to fight off giant spiders in Mirkwood by “stinging” them. This weapon is made unique when orcs are near as it glows blue!

It is double edged with a leaf shaped blade and is extremely well balanced. It is great for Lord of the Rings fans, fantasy sword collectors, or even for a stage prop!

Specifications:

Overall Length: 25 3/4″
Blade Length: 21 7/8″
Includes Hard Scabbard!

Robin Hood Sword

December 8, 2008

We are excited to offer a sword of the man who stole from the rich to give to the poor, who was a commoner, who fought against injustice and tyranny, and the man who we all know of from our childhood days: Robin Hood. This sword was made to replicate the sword carried by this medieval character of many tales and adventures.

This version of the Robin Hood Sword is not meant for children, nor is it meant for use while skipping through the forest in search of the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire. Its blade is made of stainless steel and features images of Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, and Little John and should be hung safely and securely on the wall – with its included display plaque!

This is a truly magnificent sword with beautiful detail around the guard and grip. The photos do not do this detail any justice – you will just have to order one to see for yourself!

Sword Specifications:

Blade Length: 34”
Handle Length: 8”
Overall Length: 42”
Blade Material: Stainless Steel
