Here is an update to the Harry Potter Magic Caster Wand. It is not good.

While I’m sure this product has problems, part of the reason also appears to be the fact that you don’t know how to use it. Your wondering why it’s casting spells while your just sitting there, but in reality, you have all the contact points while simultaneously waving it around, of course it’s going to interpret that as a spell.

Equally it seems that the battery was pretty close to dead. Idk if that's quite fair of a review.
@Lethal_Giggles Жыл бұрын
@@WillNeverBeAGI Yea. I think there are valid points in it, like the quality of the wand seems to be subpar compared to the interactive wands and the wands from the noble collection, that’s the main reason why I’m hesitant to buy one. The limited edition Heroic wand also didn’t go on for that long, I really wanted one since it seemed to be the better made product.

The wand itself is alright. I do wish the quality was better. The wand charges just fine in the box and I haven't had any issues. It works well with the app. It's better on an IPad than just a phone. The grip can be tricky if you have small hands like my gf. For me I don't have an issues getting the censors to work. I really wish the wand hand more interactive features with smart lights for the price tag.

God it’s like this dude has never even used the thing before making a review/update lol I bought this and immediately returned it because of how garbage it is. I have all hue light bulbs in my house, and it wouldn’t connect or work at all. And even if it DID work, you can only control 3 hue bulbs at a time. A ceiling fan has 4 bulbs, so you can’t even control 1 room with it. Besides casting spells on the app, the wand is absolutely useless. If you’re considering buying it, DONT. It’s overpriced, cheaply made, terrible speaker, and feels like it’ll break if you touch it too much. The speaker quality shown in the vid is a good summary of the quality of this product.

It definitely glows in the box while charging you see the lights light up like a battery charging up the wand. If you have a blister you’re holding way to tight 🤣, if it’s not activating you are holding it in the wrong spot also . The charged “icon in the app” is the circle that you are looking at the top of the app.

The green light at the top on app shows full circle when charged, when it turns blue it needs to charge, it will turns red when and the circle will start reducing, like 3/4, 1/2, etc. when it is almost run down

@subliminalmessagechallenge Жыл бұрын
I got the honorable one and returned it immediately. I was incredibly disappointed with how lightweight, thin and poorly painted it was. You could see were the plastic seams lined up and it looked as if they were coming apart from being misaligned and the paint job was absolutely horrid. The speaker on the box sounds blown out too. They used the cheapest materials possible to do it and charged as much as they could, I have collected a ton from the parks and noble collection and even a few knock off ones off wish that are far superior due to the correct weight when holding it, sturdiness and the paint jobs. Total money grab imo unless they link up to the upcoming game in some way to allow use through gameplay it’s basically the remote control wand just on your phone now.

I, too, got the Honourable wand and have the same exact gripes you do - the extremely light weight of it, the cheap plastic, the visible seams that make it look like it’s about to split open at any second. I purchased it when it was in pre-sale so was one of the first to get it, but just like a lot of the stuff I order, I never open it when I get it. I finally opened the package November of last year (2023 - so I’ve had it in its sealed box in my closet for over a year) so I could have it for a Harry Potter exhibit I went to. When I was setting it up, that’s when I noticed how incredibly bad it was. And because I opened the package for the first time a year after I got it, I’m way past the return date to get a refund. So I’m stuck with this piece of junk. I’m really trying to find someone who can super glue the seams shut and then paint over it to match the wand.

This wand was trash, it had a very loose plastic feel, when placing the wand back into the box and closing the box it doesn’t close completely. I updated my iPhone and reset my local network and could not get the wand to function properly, when trying to cast spells it only showed swigs and swirls all over the app. This was something I returned and got a refund. If nothing worked I would like for the wand to atleast have more weight and be at least real wood. But this is definitely a no go, this wand should be in the fisher price area of Walmart for 20 bucks. Just my opinion. This was just not a good product and I’m being nice.

I watched this review and have to say 99% of your problems were self inflicted. 1. Your device was almost dead, it doesn't work properly when it needs to be charged. Even in the app it told you at the top to charge it. 2. The box went off because your wand was dead when you docked it and it recharged and went back to start up. 3 You're waving the wand around at the same time as you start to grip it. You need to grip, then let it light up, then go. About 2 seconds in-between. Seems like you're just being a bit impatient with it. I bought one for my daughter for Christmas and tested it to make sure all was good and it works beautifully.

I have the honourable wand too and you’re not supposed to grip the knobbly bits at all, the sensors are at the top of the handle just under them. You wrap your fire finger around the handle then place your thumb down when you want to cast, and release it after. You only have to touch it lightly and there’s certainly no need for blisters! 😂🤷🏻♂️

I got the defiant. It is lots of fun, but I also have my issues. You’re right I think they did put a new update and it is way too sensitive. Now I have to let go of my whole hand from the wand. And also the more I use it I’ve rubbed off probably 50% of the paint that was quickly smeared on there. It just shows how bad the manufacturing was and how much they need to either improve or lower the price. It’s so sad to know that this could’ve been such an amazing product.

I agree. I returned mine because of how cheap it was. It doesn’t even work with the light bulbs, and if you do get it to work you can only control THREE bulbs!! What use is that??? I got my $163 back. This product isn’t worth more than $40 in my opinion. I was pretty disappointed when I set it up/played with it. It seems like they’re being trained to avoid returns, so I’m assuming a lot of people are returning them. I had to go back and forth with them before they agreed to give me a refund. They kept trying to get me to trouble shoot instead of returning it.
