so my top Harry Potter wands
there are seven and took a little while to compile as this
because I just couldn't make up my mind but I think I finally settled on my top seven
so if you want to see what they are, stay tuned for the video
so if you're new here or just
missed the large amount of oddly shaped boxes that are behind me
but I'm sure that you can see that I love wands
I have been obsessed with them for so long and I think that a wand
I'm sure remember I remember this correctly, but a wand was one of the first
bits of Harry Potter merchandise that I actually purchased
I love the effort, I love the design that's gone into making them
the fact that they are straight out of the films is amazing you know how
great is it to own a bit of the Wizarding World
and you know a wand really is an essential item for any witch or wizard
but with so many now available
and potentially a limited budget, which ones should you get
now my answer to that is normally, well which ones should you get first
because it's a bit addictive but
as I have so many wands, I have been asked before, which are my top favourite wands
so I thought I was showcase my top seven Harry Potter wands and these are them
these aren't in any particular order because
I just couldn't decide, it keeps changing in my mind
which is my top wand
so I thought I'd just showcase all of these wands
these are my all-time favourite wands
and I think that you'll see why I like these particular wands so much
ok, so one of the first wands as part of my all-time favourite Harry Potter wands is
Voldemort's wand
I think I like it because it's so evil looking
it's, you know it looks like a bone
it can't of course be made out of bone, I know that according to
you know...canon, it's made out of Yew
I don't know if Yew wood is actually so white
but I do love it nonetheless, it's like very hook-ey it's got like
points and it's got this, this actual hook on the end
which I know that the way that Voldemort holds it
is on his like little finger and the way that it actually like hooks
so that he can just like...*swoosh*
yeah it's just, it's just so cool
I love so much detail about this
if anyone's ever considering getting a Voldemort wand
then I would really recommend it because
it's so cool and then you can cosplay
Tom Riddle of course
okay so probably pretty obvious but I'm gonna say
Harry Potter's wand
because this was actually the first one that I purchased
it has a lot of sentimental value for me
it's very worn and and
I've handled it quite a lot, I've used it for cosplay
I've taking it to, you know, out to parties with me...fortunately it hasn't broken
when I was younger I used to like tie a little LED
light on the end with like elastic and then walk around the house at night with it
like this was when I was much younger
well not young. I'll probably say, maybe seventeen
and you know swishing it around and grazing walls, like I've even worn
some of the tip off already
and it also had you know the Warner Brothers
stamp you know the trademark stamp that I scratched off as well to make it look even more authentic
yeah it holds, I have a lot of love for Harry's wand
it may not be the most impressive, but you know, everyone loves Harry Potter
and that's probably why I like it so much
alright so the next wand is one that I believe is very delicate
and it is, Slughorn's wand
the fact that it looks, like you know, the end of slug as well
is amazing design by the design team
it is it has this beautiful silver
I'm guessing like slug trail, I think is supposed to be like
and then as it's curvy as well, it's almost like the end of a slug
we see this one in all it's glory, you know when
Professor Slughorn removes the memory that he
finally gives to Harry
and I think that's quite a big changing point in the story because then they
it's really confirmed about the Horcruxes
so when I saw this wand
I knew that I really wanted it
the next wand is
quite a new wand as part of my collection and it is Dumbledore's original wand
now there's such drama behind this wand
it is such a spectacular wand and it is so amazing
but the story behind it was this wasn't his
the one that was originally designed
for being Dumbledore's first wand, a while back there was a picture that was
posted you know, before Crimes of Grindelwald came out
with the Elder wand and then another wand that was put next to it and
that was according, apparently Dumbledore's first wand
but I believe that after they designed and released and even filmed with it
JK Rowling saw it and she was like
err I think it's a bit too close to the Elder Wand
so they had to swiftly redesign that wand
and that this is the redesigned one, which then had to
fix in the film and put this one in and then
others scenes that he did
was with this wand
it is fantastic, because it's the first one with like
it must be metal
I'm guessing a leather effect handle
there's like runes on this and it's
according to a Jude Law, he describes it as a root wand
which is this swirly design and I believe a lot of the wands have a metal core in
but this one can't because of where the the root swirl is located
so it's a very flexible wand but
it's so elegant and I have so much love for Dumbledore
like I love Dumbledore I think he probably is
I think he probably is my favourite character, just because he's so enigmatic
behind the scenes, pulling the strings
so powerful, yet so lovable and then
you know, getting to learn more and more about him because of the Fantastic Beasts series
so the next wand is another new addition and
it is since the introduction of Fantastic Beasts and it is Newt's wand
I know very simple there's no like
fancy fancy design or swirls or curves or anything to this
I think the interesting parts for me is the
kind of scratches and the etches, you know, from potentially damages from
animals or him holding it in his teeth
it has real cool blue bit in the handle and
which then tapers down to quite a mother-of-pearl effect on the end
I love that they included that in it
and then it's kind like a reflect on nature because it might be shell
and how this wand would then have chosen Newt because he's so obviously into the beasts etc
I think I love how elegant and how thin it is
and I know that Daniel Radcliffe joked around, that it looked like it was from IKEA, but
I love IKEA, ha like
most of my furniture is from IKEA so I think that's probably why I do like this wand
right now the next wand that is part of my favourite Harry Potter wands is Viktor Krum's wand
probably controversially because I've not featured it very much in any videos
but I think this is again, one of the first wands that we saw there had
quite a substantial, like curve in it
it has this wonderful, I'm guessing, bird
it could be eagle
it could even be another magical creature carved into the edge of it
and then it curls down and tapers to a point
it's just such a cool wand, I mean I hadn't seen really anything like that, I mean this is
film four, so this is - this came before Slughorn's wand
so this probably is one of the first curved ones that I saw
but I do really like it because it is so cool and
it was originally not able to be purchased by itself and it was actually one of the reasons why I then
asked for it and I got it as an amazing good Christmas gift, the Triwizard set
with with Harry's wand, there's Fleur's wand, there's Cedric's wand - which again that's a great wand
and then Viktor Krum's wand
but that was before you could purchase them individually
so I have that amazing set
but this was the main reason why I wanted that set, because it had this one in it
okay so the last wand that I want to include in this feature
is
I actually don't have it
it's Lucius Malfoy' wand
and I have wanted one for a very long time but I keep
getting distracted and purchasing smaller
different items from Noble Collection and
I'm sure you know, that Lucius Malfoy's wand it
a very amazing wand but also the most expensive wand at present
because it's a cane wand
and it won't fit on my shelf anywhere because it does come in a box and I was
at that time, I was collecting wands, buying boxes so I could fill up this display
but now as I'm going through and looking for
birthday suggestions and stuff - I mean obviously that's a lot to ask for family and friends to get
so it's just something that I'm saving for
and have made different purchases along the way
but I would say that Lucius Malfoy's is probably my favourite wand even though I don't have it
but I will have it very soon
I recently had the opportunity to handle it at one of the conventions and it was very heavy
so I would be actually petrified to use it and maybe
like chip a fang or something off that amazing snake head but
it is something that I will eventually get
whether I'll walk around using it, I think maybe not
I'm hoping that this wand reviews of help you pin
which one you might start with
or which one you might get next
I mean when choosing a wand
I went for these ones because they had particular different characteristics
I did collect the original trios wands first and then
decided to get the most interesting wands that I thought
like the wands that had the most interesting design
it really is down to personal preference
like I might say that this wand is amazing but you'll be thinking 'well why would I want that one'
'I really love Hermione's wand because of the vines' or whatever
so it really is down to personal preference
when you see a wand, if you get this rush of excitement and joy
almost like you know when the wand chooses Harry and there's like that wind and the light and that's
basically how I feel when I see a wand, I'm like oh my god I want it
let that be the wand choosing the wizard and then go for that one
if you don't really have such love for it then maybe you can keep that for later
I'll leave links to all the wands, so look out for those
and leave me a comment in the section below
of these seven wands that I chose
because it was really tough to pinpoint just seven
which of these are your favourite?
I'm really interested know because it took me so long to
even narrow down seven and that's probably too many already
but out of these seven, which one is your favourite?
