For those who do not know: Knut (the bronze Wizarding coin) is pronounced “ca-nut”. The K is not silent.

One thing I will say about the fake locket and diadem: I like the colors a lot better. You’d expect the diadem to have sapphire blue stones and the locket to be green so they’d match their respective houses, and it always confused me that the official ones (and the props in the movies) weren’t colored that way.

[@SanguinaryStrife]

Why does the real diadem with an eagle have a box with a raven on it, then. They couldn't decide who to appease lol.

[@rushellealexandra5243]

Books say raven but was made eagle for movies

@@rushellealexandra5243 reverse that; I think you mean to say that the emblem is an Eagle in the books but the movies made it a raven.

Severus Snape's wand from The Noble Collection is definitely amazing. I love having it as my first wand. When Alan Rickman had passed away, I was touched when my boyfriend had gifted me Snape's wand from The Noble Collection as a gift/Valentine's Day gift, I cried so hard when seeing it, holding it.

@@codysmith3084 I don't blame you one bit. Everyone keeps talking about how Noble Collection is the pinnacle of wands and replicas. That may be mostly true. But you get a big ugly trademark for your trouble. This is why I make custom hardwood wands. And they look 100% real. And there are many wand makers out there. No trademark ugliness anywhere.

I’ve always thought that the official Ravenclaw diadem replica should’ve had the deeper blue stones, because Ravenclaw’s color is more like a royal blue than a light blue. The color of the stones on the official replica remind me more of Beauxbaton’s uniforms.

You should compare licensed Harry Potter Halloween product. Would love to see a comparison to licensed Halloween ties and hp glasses etc!

I really appreciate your video comparing the real vs fake. Even though you point out how items are fake you never trash the obvious fakes or make your viewers feel like if they can’t afford the authentic items that’s not good enough as a fan and even gave helpful tips on buying used.

[@arabellafigg1968]

I love wands, can't get enough of them and a few months ago I bought a fake or unofficial replica of George Weasley's wand (one of my favourites) from ebay an I was chuffed to bits with it it came in a beautiful box and the quality of the wand itself was brilliant and best of all it was a 3rd of the price of a noble collection one at £10.99

[@fenial.2394]

If i was you, i would invest in a howgarts-like bookcase style! It would look amazing, just like the the library! I enjoy your videos a lot! Thank you!❤️

Great video Peter. It was really eye opening to see the difference between real and fake harry potter products and good to know that WISH isn't a good way to go. I loved Lucius Malfoys wand from Noble Collection.

[@paigew315]

i love your videos, i try to watch them when they come out, but its 5:05 in the morning so sometimes i miss it.

[@PinkRavenclaw]

Great video as always! The Wish versions are really only good for kids or cosplay, like you mentioned, especially if the cosplay will be pretty active and there's a chance of damaging your outfit/accessories. I have Luna's wand from the Noble Collection, and it's so beautiful! I also have a nice Time Turner replica, made from real gold, but I'm not sure where my husband bought it for me. I used to wear it often as an actual necklace until I found out I'm allergic to gold. Now it's just a beautiful display piece. Luckily it came with a gorgeous box for display.

I have noticed that some wands a only sold at certain locations for example Moody's wand is only sold at the Wizarding World parks, is there any way to find a list of these location only wands?

Hey Peter, do they make an English version of the books, hardcover with “classic library” look (gold accents) similar to the ones in this video third shelf from bottom and far right (of video, your left).

Thanks for this video. Love the comparisons. Ive ordered a number of HP items from wish. Some of the wands ive been very pleased with, others not so much...just good know what youre expectations NEED TO BE when ordering from Wish. Like the saying, "if it seems to good to be true, its probably bc it is!" Wish items are great for HP themed parties, etc. Personally, i want to look for real 2nd hand of diadem & Lucious wand. The quality difference of the authentic replicas is worth spending more to me. Thanks again Peter!

So I recently purchased a new voldemort wand primarily because I wanted one in an ollivanders box as my original cane in a window box. The original is s14 and the new is s21 and there are some slightly differences, The s21 has a matt look instead of the original gloss, it has a more rounded tip and other parts look a little smaller and its also 5 grams lighter.
