This wand is not a Harry Potter product. It's actually a universal remote control, allowing you to feel like a wizard or witch as you wave it to change channels, control the volume, or fend off the bullies who will immediately break into your house and take you lunch money should you purchase and use this product.
The wand understands 13 distinct gestures, and The Wand Company (who has released this) suggest that rotating the wand is best for volume control, flicking it up and down is best for changing the channels, but that you can program it do whatever with the other gestures, such as Push Forward, Push Backward, and Big Swish (I swear I'm not making this up). If you're really do desirous of playing wizard with your home entertainment center that you want to purchase this dumbed-down Wii remote, you can pre-order it here for 50 pounds. You do have to give them your address, so the school bullies know where to find you.

Jeez, I would've hoped that the magical nerds at The Wand Company wouldn't share customer addresses with the bully community, but alas!

Not a Harry Potter fan at all, but that *is* a pretty nifty accessory...

This makes me glad I don't have kids who can beg me for shit like this.

Sheer nerd awesomeness!

I disagree. I think this is awesome, and if I were a big enough Potter fan, I'd be all over it.
Now, if there was a lightsaber one...

If they made a powerglove universal remote... I'd get one!
Lasargo said:
Hell yeah a powerglove remote!
Then maybe the wife would stop taking it from me.

It actually sounds less like magic and more like orchestra conducting. Is one nerdier than the other? Alas, I cannot say.
ChuckD said:
You'd have to be a Big Swish to buy one of these.
Snoodle said:
I still want one. A lot.

I don't care how many bullies beat me up, I've just reserved one.
Pete said:
I'd rather have the power to change channels by blinking my eyes like that kid from the x-men movies. It wouldn't look as ridiculous.

*weeps tears of nerd joy*
I'm probably going to have to sell a few internal organs on the black market but it'll be all worth it when I can sit at home watching my new Potter dvds controlled by my fucking wand whilst planning my trip to Hogwarts next year.
SpiderHyphenMan said:
That doesn't sound practical at all. Who wantsto move their arms while watching T.V?
Canuck said:
Thanks to your posting this story, my wife has now insisted we reserve one. Thanks.

that guy who had his wow account banned and tried to shove a remote up his ass covets this.

hmm... would this make a good anniversary gift?
Missy Lynn said:
@ryogasasaki
If my fiance bought this for our anniversary, it would end up being the best night of his life.
buy it.
scuzgob said:
Gonna be annoying having the channel change every time you put it down, or when it rolls off the table.
Do you have to sit there holding it or something?
amarygma said:
I want one.
asshabadash said:
I want to get this and use it to freak out the crazy Christians who think Harry Potter's a sekrit guide to ~real witchcraft~
