While I do not recommend purchasing unauthorized products, it is up to you to decide whether or not to purchase something from Wish.

[@TheSecretStone]

I like how you are staying positive to mostly everything from wish. There are so many people that can't afford authentic stuff since it's so expensive so wish is a good option. And seeing you; which has a lot of authentic stuff and can afford buying it; still staying positive to wish stuff is great :D I have the Marauders map from noble collection, so my first thought when I saw the one from wish was: oh, that's so small. But it's very cute either way and looks good too :)

[@ThePotterCollector]

The previous video shows items of really poor quality. The items from this video were SO much higher in quality I was so impressed! It's so true though. Not everyone can afford the authorized items so this is a wonderful alternative.

[@MarcGardner]

It just cracks me up how some collectors just throw around the words "real" vs "fake". None of the Noble Collection wands are made of real wood, so the argument could be made that they are technically fake too. lol. Both NC and many other brands are made of resin with a metal core the same way. Noble Collection wands are made in China in the same factories as other brands. Many other brands are licensed in some way to probably the same manufacturing factories; they are just distributed differently throughout the world for different markets and price points. Some collector snobs think only a Noble Collection branded wand is real and all others fake and that is NOT TRUE. Although The Noble Collection is definitely high quality and better made than most, that doesn't make other brands or distributors fake; just different. It's a matter of preference. There's not only one true and all powerful official source. lol. NC has a good reputation for making quality replicas but they are not the only licensed company to make replicas of wands and they don't even produce all the wands from characters that are available either. Only ignorant collector snobs would stick to only NC items when there is so much more out there of great quality and authenticity too; even if wish's reputation is to sell some actual fake items. Obviously, if you prefer the Noble Collection brand (understandably so) then it's all good, but to say any other brand or distributor is fake and not official or authentic is just flat out wrong. Are there fake or counterfeit wands? Yes, of course, but that isn't all non Noble Collection branded brands. It's a matter of preference and just because one may be made slightly better quality than another doesn't make it real vs fake.

@@MarcGardner I love this comment and completely agree

[@Battychick189]

@@MarcGardner When I see collectors saying "Real Vs Fake", it always brings to mind "Officially licensed vs not licensed", not necessarily the quality of the wand itself. From what I understand WB is kinda stingy with handing out their trademark. But I think that there are super beautiful non licensed stuff out that that deserves a look- I've only ever had non- licensed wands, and I think they're gorgeous. Just trying to give another opinion. :)

Thanks for your "real vs fake" videos! I recently decided to purchase my first Harry Potter wand (I chose professor Snape's wand) and there was no other option than Noble Collection. I saved some money and decided to get the more expensive one in Ollivander's box and I am so glad I bought it. The box is so beautiful and the wand itself is gorgeous.

[@josipgavran]

usually its hard to beat noble collection but when it comes to Tom Riddle's diary, the cheaper versions from ebay are more realistic. 1st) It has publisher name on the first page (Winstansley) 2nd) Diary from the movies have engraved name like cheap version, while NC has a tag with the name pasted 3rd) NC version even looks more expensive but do recall Tom was poor and its safe to assume his diary was really cheap + with the cheaper item you can smudge it, stain it, put it in an oven and make it more to the true look from the movie while I wouldn't do that on NC version.

[@jyrki2370]

I am pretty sure Wish's designer watch these videos. Wands used to be shorter and now they are longer 🤣 Good stuff as always!

[@MarcGardner]

Much better and fair comparisons this time. The clothing especially is generally sized WAY smaller than one would expect. Wish definitely is hit or miss and definitely has fake items but again, NOT all non Noble Collection branded brands mean they are fake. I do like that you said "and other authorized dealers" though. There are many brands other than Noble Collection that are authorized and licensed from Warner Brothers to sell quality wands and other HP merch. :) Noble Collection may be generally better quality but it's more of a preference than a true "real" vs "fake". None of the Noble Collection wands are made of real wood, so the argument could be made that they are technically fake too. lol. Both NC and many other brands are made of resin with a metal core the same way. Noble Collection wands are made in China in the same factories as other brands. Many other brands are licensed in some way to probably the same manufacturing factories; they are just distributed differently throughout the world for different markets and price points AND not all of other actual licensed and authorized brands and dealers have a stamp on the wand either so that's not necessarily a definitive sign it's "real" either. Again, it's a matter of preference in many cases. There's not only one true and all powerful definitive official source for "real" vs "fake". lol. Another point to remember too is that although NC has a good reputation for making quality replicas, they don't even produce all the wands from characters that are available either. There is so much more out there of great quality and authenticity too; even if wish's reputation is to sell some actual fake items. Obviously, if you prefer the Noble Collection brand (understandably so) then it's all good, but again, to say any other brand or distributor other than Noble Collection is fake and not official or authentic is just flat out wrong. Even the Noble Collection themselves has changed the color and shading of some of the character's wands on different year releases (Hermione being one) and that didn't make any previous years any less "authentic" or "accurate" did it? Thanks for being a little more researched this time though. :)

Not everyone can afford licensed products so its nice to see a serious collector trying to put a good spin on them when you can. I also like that you mention that you get what you pay for as a warning. I I've bought several wish or cheap ebay items (mostly necklaces) to use to make ornaments decorate a Christmas tree. I also like you mention the wish object may be good for cosplay--I'd be afraid to take some of the Nobel collection out and about as I'd be afraid of losing them or damaging them.

[@lunalovegood30]

Fact tidbit about the Wish Marauder’s Map: It’s a knockoff of the one from Film Wizardry. Its construction is the same. But Noble Collection also produced a mini map for a boxed DVD set more than a decade ago, which is a bit wider. And for the accessories, they’re mostly knockoffs of the stuff that were produced for Noble/BioWorld/Universal. Earlier releases of the knockoffs are better in quality than the ones produced later (which are copies of the copies, and so the quality goes does along the line).

I never really collected or wanted to collect wands (I purchased my first 2 at Universal - Dumbledore & Newt much later). That was until I saw the Series 3 with the stands.

I bought the Voldemort and Dumbledore wands in a carnival shop in Germany, the Dumbledore wand is much larger than my Olivender collection wand (Harry Potter) so is the one from Voldemort but his is white and reminds more of a bone than wood. I was very sceptic at first because they just cost 10€ each and were in a box 'magic wand' but when I unbox them, I was surprised and happy at the same time.
