BHello. I know what are those symbols. I made a wand for myself some a few years ago with some of those same symbols. Those are nordic runes, from the futhark alphabet. The one from the bottom, that looks like a straight infinity symbol is called Dagaz, and it represents the conjuction between Heaven and Earth. Opposites forces binding together. The one that looks like an F pointing down is called Ansus, and represents Odin openning his arms to the World. Also represents the Word of Odin. The one that looks like an straight "n" is called Uruz. It represent the Uro, a extinct bison that was hunted as a rite of passage. It represents also the qualities of the beast applied to a person (strenght, agility, stamina). When is associated with Jera, it calls to the sexual potency of both male and female. The one that looks like a straight Yin Yang is called Jera, and is that, the futhark representation of the Yin Yang, bonds connecting in the center of the Earth. I hope this results usefull. For anything, excuse my poor english. I'm from Ecuador, hehehe.... XD

Those symbols on Dumbledore's wand are Norse runes and they're fascinating!

After researching, I discovered that the 5 symbols around the top shaft separating section are Dumbledore's initials- A P W B D, which suggests he did indeed do Ancient Runes when studying at Hogwarts and in fact he personalised his own wand, which is epic.

You gave me a mini panic attack every time you bent the wands XD

Little fact: Jude Law stated that the way he holds Dumbledore’s wand is he makes it look like he’s painting so if you think of what it would look like using the wand to paint then that’s how Jude holds it

*dude, please do grindelwald cosplay you look like him!*

When you kept bending them, it made me physically cringe

I would say Skender’s wand looks like that bc he is the ring master of the Circus Arcanus. So I think it’s supposed to be kinda weird, also it may have had to look like something muggles wouldn’t suspect if they would be attending the circus

Thats why I make videos like this, so I can show you and tell you what I really think. I hope ya'll like it let me know if you want to see anything else thanks 😁👍❤️

It’s not because of the US or UK it’s because of the style at the time (Art Deco) I think is what they said. But it has that 1920s /30s style

I picked Dumbledore's wand as soon as I saw it,without even knowing it was his.

Most people who went to Ilvermorny got their wands from there because you weren’t allow a wand until your went to school in the US. Once you got sorted in a house you choose your wand. If you want more details there is a channel call MovieFlame where he made a video about Ilvermorny and how it came to be!!

BRO!, when you said "a child's walking cane" I almost died laughing!

For the design of the wands it carries over from the first Fantastic Beasts films, with the trim and design it’s largely inspired by the fashion of the time, the rise of Art Deco seems to have had an impact on design, as we know wizards could add embellishments or go back and add customizations from wand makers for what was in style and popular. Personally, the Fantastic Beasts wand style are my favorites as I’m a HUGE fan of Art Deco

I love how the wand with the ivory tint looks like a chopstick with the square handle

Wand lore kinda flies right out the window when you realize they cannot be repaired except by the elder wand and you can just buy them at the store. And when you are at the store do you relive your 11year old moment when another wand chooses you again? Or is that connection only with the first one?

I love how you combine high tech technology and expensive equipment with the magic world of Fantastic Beasts!!!

The symbol on Dumbledor's pommel is for Merlin. I'm guessing it signifies his belonging to the Order of Merlin (I think that's the name)

19:22 that symbol is the Viking rune “dagaz” and it means day or breakthrough. Those other symbols are other runes with various meanings

I love how flamels wand looks older because he is I belive 300 years old

Dude I could totally envision you as a descendant of the great line of Olivanders and one of the Olivander wand makers.

I actually enjoyed wizards of Waverly place but yeah that wand is my least favorite

The symbols on Dumbledore's wand are Norse runes. On the bottom of the pommel is a stylized Manaz, which is used to mean man or community. Given Dumbledore's tendency to try to find the good in everyone and do what's best for the whole, it seems fitting. Around the guard, we have Jera, which means the year cycle and also the harvest--reaping what you've sown. Uruz is the ox and symbolizes strength. And Ansuz is used to mean communication, especially when it comes to divinity or the Vaettir (spirits.)

I think the wand with the red ball on top belongs to a character in the Circus so that's maybe why it has a "circus" look to it, in my opinion. Dumbledore is also my favorite. With regards to pricing, the wands are $10-$12 more at the Wizarding Worlds; my Dumbledore wand at Universal Studios in Hollywood was $46 vs $37.50 from the Nobel Collection. With taxes and shipping, it may come out to be the same but at least you get to look at several different wands before buying than taking a chance at a damaged wand. (Mine came out to $52 total with sales tax) Just FYI.

I haven't watched this guy until now and I really liked him up until the point where he called Wizards of Waverly Place some dumb Disney show. Cancelled lmao.

Every time time a I see scenders it grows on me a little bit and my top 3 that I don't have Are, Leta,Dumbledore and theasus

Maybe it is the “Roaring Twenties” style wands. Also the noble collection uses cold cast porcelain. Finally as noted in The Carlin Brothers’ video on it they tease a different wand for Dumbledore that has that series of bumps kind of like a reversing of the Elder wand (wide bumps with small sections that sink in) it’s in the cast photo on Pottermore.

I think that would’ve been a cool bit of consistency if all the American wands were known for having decorative handles while British wands tend to just have completely wooden wands.

I love Leta's and Nicholas's wand. This wawe of wands is amazing

4:53 Stellar camera work! It feels like I’m watching an Apple ad.

In regards to the symbols on Dumbledores wand, they are Runes, which as you know are a part of the Wizarding World. As for the one in the very bottom of the wand that looks like a stylized Roman numeral 10, I'm not aware of a rune that looks exactly like that, but it's closest to the symbol "Dagaz", which means 'dawn' and symbolizes intuition and inner light. The ones on the hilt I thought might spell something, but don't that I'm aware. But the two symbols that look like an uppercase F are called "Ansuz" and stand for 'Odin', which symbolizes God and ancestors. The one that looks like a tall lowercase 'n' is called "Uruz" and stands for 'Power', which symbolizes the primal creative force and gateways. The last symbol that looks like the "greater than, less than" symbols is "Jera" and stands for 'Earth', which symbolizes cycles and right action. Read into it what you will, but it seems like they were chosen at random and don't have any real hidden meaning. Which is disappointing. As far as the letters they symbolize its a J, a U, and two A's. I only know these because I used runes on a custom wand I'm making for a friend's nephew. Hope this helped. Loved the video!

The Wands from Fantastic beasts are so light from up

I might be late to but the style of the fantastic beasts wands with metal trim, fancy handles, etc is because the 20’s and 30’s style was very much show using silver and gold in canes, pocket watches, and tortoise shells in glasses and trim of other items. The wands are supposed to reflect the era

The wand discription idea is a great idea!

Skender actually can turn his wand into a walking stick for the circus

So, the symbol at the end of Dumbledore’s want is a rune and it’s upright when it looks like |X|. It’s the rune representing day or the letter ‘d.’ So, given that his name is Albus (meaning “white” in Latin, though it could also be interpreted as “bright”) and his last name starts with a ‘D,’ lots of symbolism there.

Careful talking shit, that wand might choose you!

Hey Ender, if you remember in the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione was taking a class called Ancient Runes. A few of the symbols on Dumbledore's wand I recognized as Norse/Viking Runes, so I'd assume the symbols are magic ancient runes. I don't know what all of the runes mean, but in Norse mythology the sorcerers would use stones marked with runes (runestones) to cast magic. Rowling could have possibly worked that into the Wizarding World as she did the ancient Egyptians and their sorcerers. If that is true, the runes are probably meant to enhance the magical properties and powers of Dumbledore's wand.

The F looking tunes on dumbledore wand translates into Ash so ashes to ashes like a... PHOENIX

The Norse run on the bottom of the hilt of Dumbledore's wand, represents Daylight which represents light overcoming dark.

The symbols are runes, the one at the bottom of the wand means "Day", the other four ones mean "Repetition" "Strength" and "Inspiration" is the one that repeats. No idea what that could posibly mean tbh

Skender's wand is like that because in the film, his wand turns into a walking cane

Excellent review of the wands. I agree with your top picks and now I really want to get young Dumbledore's wand and maybe Leta's. Would love to see more of your comparisons of the different wands.

The symbols on Dumbledore’s wand are actually Nordic runes especially on the pommel.

I fell in love with Leta's wand. This kind of simple but also elegant design drew me in almost immediately. My second favourite is Dumbledore's wand.

I got Flamel and Dumbledore’s wands, and I’m thinking of getting Thesues and Leta’s wands too. However, I love the two I got.

You did a very interesting and entertaining video. I like your clean studio! and al the wands in the background. Very well done. Thanks very much for sharing to us.

I'll get Leta's wand because it looks more comfortable and Her wand looks like it is made of Vinewood which is the wood of my Pottermore wand... It seems like the wand chose me. And I am in Slytherin.

That Grindelwald look is a crime😂🤣

The runes on the handle of Dumbledores wand look Nordic. The symbols that I could see look like they are the runes that represent the sun, the earth, rain wisdom and joy. The rune on the pommel also looks kind of like the Nordic rune for hail, but not exactly. That could suggest that Dumbledore is very grounded and centred on worldly events. The wisdom highlighting his intelligence and the sun to represent him possibly be a beacon that those who wish to combat dark forces can gather, perhaps also he is the light that will vanquish it. Perhaps referencing the final confrontation with Grindelwald.

the "lettering" on dumbledores wand looks like the anglo saxon runes used in the HP movies.

I was already enjoying this video but when you said Newt was your favorite character I was like, "Okay where's the like button, I need to smash it right now!" Haha! Same here, I'm a big Newt fan as well. I also really enjoy Dumbledore in his younger years as well. I notice you are sporting the gray waist coat just like him! Oh yeah I noticed, my friend. Great video. Now excuse me while I go purchase that Dumbledore wand for myself. :)

Can't wait for the movie

Just wanted to let you know there is a cheaper also from noble collection Dumbledore wand from crimes of Grindlewald on sale at Barnes and Noble

Ive been checking every hour of eveyday for this video.

I would like to see you review the 3 new fantastic beasts wands.

I love Dumbledores wand..I have it myself and carry it with me when I wear Newts jacket

Do you guys think we'll see a young voldemort as he was at school while dumbledore was only a teacher not headmaster?

i think the use of the metal is to make them appear to be more in style with the time of the movie and the art deco style that was the craze in the early 1900s

I've collected the noble wands since 2004 when they first came out and they've declined in quality when they became more mainstream with the parks opening up. The Fantastic beasts wands just don't feel the same quality to me and the boxes are all the same and done more cheaply. The inside "velvet" is alot more firm and not soft and the boxes don't feel as sturdy. When I got the Albus Dumbledore wand from this new line it felt very cheap and I wasn't impressed at all, probably not gonna get these new ones or atleast not in the collectors box

On Dumbledore's Wand. The symbol on the Pommel is Dagaz. Norse Rune for "D"

I'd say the styles were like that because that was mist popular during the time period in the movie. Metal on the handle was all the rage probably.

I definitely have to add some of these to my collection, first up Dumbledore (of Course) Second Flamel and I do like Spielman's wand as well..Leta's wand is a must as well. From this new series , Queenie is my favorite thus far... I Think Johnny Depp is gonna kill it in this film but we have to see, I already find him more interesting than Voldermort (the older Voldermort anyway) I like the younger Voldermort better for some reason..he lost all his charm after his rebirth....Anways great video and keep them comin!

"the black" is supposed to be ebony which is an African hardwood which was a v popular material in the 1920s/30s

It's the rune "Mann" at the end of the handle. It means "man", extended to "human being".

I'm so bummed they didn't make Bunty's wand. That was my favorite of the bunch.

About the symbols: they are runes. The kind of "F" looking rune that there are two of is called "Ansuz" (A) and means "Ash" (Potentially the wood the wand is made of?). The one that look kind of like an upside down "V" is called "Urus" (U/V) and means "Power". The rune that looks kind of like the "" symbols together is called "Jera" (J) and means "Year" or "Harvest". The rune on the bottom is a bit more difficult because it doesn't have an exact reseblence, but it could stand for eighter "Mannaz" (M) meaning "Man" or more specificly "Human", or it could stand for "Dagas" (D), translating into "Day", or "Light". However I personaly think that the first one fits better. Edit: The runes on the first metal part also spell Auja, which in old northen languages translates into "fortune".

All the wands for Ilvermorny (American Hogwarts) students have their wands made at the school once they are sorted into one of the 4 houses.

You could've added character photos for better understanding

19:30 Those symbols are Runes, we use them in Witchcraft mostly. I think J.K Rowling inspired from Witchcraft when she designed this wands.

How does this only have 34k views????? Ive watched 20 times alone haha i just received my Leta and Theseus set and im in love with them.

Spielman's wand reminds me of an antique Chinese chopstick design. Chinese style chopsticks are squared at the top where you grip, and rounded as they get to the tip. Antique collector versions will feature things like ivory carvings at the handle. So it's very oriental. I wonder why.

I think speilman's wand handle is supposed to be mother of pearl or some kind of bone like material maybe even marble

The Flamel wand would be gold trim since he came up with how to make Gold from lead.

Love the editing in this! And I appreciate your detailed review I agree with you on your favourites! I really love Dumbledore's wand it's just so beautiful! I hope I can get one for myself! Excellent video! 😊

To be fair, Skender is the owner of a circus, so I do understand where the prop team is coming from. It is ugly. Like, really, really, ugly. BUT I do think it goes well with a ring-master.

They are beautiful they are elegant and simplistic

Symbol on the pommel is “Dagaz”, the ones on the ring guard are: Ansuz, Uruz, Jera, Ansuz.

Theses Wands look so modern compared to the harry potter wands

Personally I Think that Scander's Wand realy fits his Owner, i looks like it belong's to a Circus Director, that Colours and the Overall apereance makes me Think about Circus instantly

Kivox with mi spielman, s wand stands up

The symbols on Dumbledore's wand are runes from the Elder Futhark (Germanic tribes, good ol' viking stuff). The one on the bottom of the pommel translates to D (for Dumbledore?), the ones on the guard are U, J, and A (2x).

The three favorites you said you have are my favorites too, they look soooo amazing

I didn't like Skender's wand too at first but after seeing the movie I now understand why they decided to design it that way. I kinda like cause it suits perfectly the circus theme. PS : btw you did a really good job on the reviews. Some may think you're being too judgemental but to me it was the perfect amount of "investigation" haha.

The Rune on the base on the pommel is the Norse Elder Futhark rune for "D"

I say in this video i have 2 favorite wands. 1 Dumbledore's wand 2Nicholas Flamel wand Also the symbols on bumbledores wand are runes

I'd like to get a collection of wands that are a couple steps up from those where all Material wood Leather Metal is genuine.

The runes around the handle of dumbledores wand, is from the futhark. Norse writing. The one on the bottom could be a norse runebinding.

I love the Skender wand! It reminds me of a harlequin jester renaissance design!

I don't know I bought Lida lestrange's wand End in looks like they used silver foil Because her wand when you take it out of the Box there are silver particles on the black velvet but I do love her wand it's so beautiful

The closet symbol meaning of Dumbledores wand 1. Dagaz at the bottom is 'Gift' in Rune. represents: Time is an illusion that once realized, is lovingly embraced, none the less.” and many more meaning look it up! 2. Uruz is the rune of the ox. It's untamed wild energy and strength, as well as initiation and passage. It often indicates that you have outgrown your current life situation, and that it's time to make change towards growth. 3. Ansuz is another complex rune, and its energies and manifestations are very predominant in our time. The common interpretation is that this rune signifies “a god”, that is, one of the Aesir, particularly Odin. It refers to a personal ancestry that traces back to the old gods, and therefor our divine inheritance. 4. and one symbol represcendes I think the Elder Futhak, or the rune lanquage. Your welcome!

Great review man. I am definately a fan of Dumbledore's wand out of all of them. Thankfully I was able to get mine at Barnes and Nobles.

Perfect timing I just got home to find Theseus’s wand on my doorstep and then saw your review was out. This will help me decide which others I want to get. Keep the review videos coming!! PS do you know if the Grindelwald elder wand it the exact same mould/material as the Dumbledore version?

yes!!!! i was really interest to the box comparison in different brand and level...please do the videoooooo!

Funny commentary. I appreciate your honesty and eye for detail. Nice outfit

I will definitely get Flamel’s wand. It’s the best design for me, second is Leta’s

I would like to see the video about the different boxes and a video on the defects you’ve found. Great review!

that symbol on Dumbledore's to me looks like a mixed Rune. Dagaz (D) for Day or Happiness, Gebo (G)- Love or Gift, Mannaz (M)- Man, Humanity, and maybe Eihwaz (Y) Transformation, death or Rebirth. Just my two cents

I was thinking Wizards of Waverly place too when I saw that wand!!😂😂
