Mystery Flying Snitch
Every Harry Potter fan knows that a game of Quidditch only ends when the Snitch is caught. Now fans of the ultimate wizarding sport will be able to connect with their inner Seeker and wow their friends as they attempt to catch the new Mystery Flying Snitch as it appears to magically fly about them.
The Mystery Flying Snitch uses patented flying activators made of high tensile Aramid fibre thread that suspends the Snitch in the air. The thread is approximately twice as strong as steel of the same thickness but almost totally invisible from around six feet. This allows you to recreate fan-favorite scenes from the Harry Potter films. Incorporating a patented illusion of flight, the new Mystery Flying Snitch has realistic fluttering wings and appears to respond to your hands, rising up and flying around your body as you move, avoiding capture.
This new incarnation of the famous winged Quidditch ball is ideal for cosplay and each kit comes with a free Quidditch poster for inspiration and display plinth.
Ideal for witches and wizards over 6 years old, The Mystery Flying Snitch costs around $/£/€24.99 and is available at retailers globally. Tips and tricks, as well as an easy set up and use tutorial, will be available at www.wowstuff.com
Light Painting Wands
Harry Potter and Hermione Granger’s wands, scanned from the original movie props, are ideal for Harry Potter fans while fans of the Fantastic Beasts film series can opt for Newt Scamander’s wand for a truly authentic magical experience. Unlike any other wands on the market, the Wow! Stuff Light Painting Wands are hand painted and cast in a high-grade resin to give them a weight and balance that’s authentically pleasing in the hands of all wizards and witches and make them beautiful replicas of those seen on screen, right down to the scars and patinas.
Each wand features an ultra-bright LED tip which is activated by a secret button on the handle of the wand, but the real magic begins when you download the free Wow! Stuff Light Painting app available for both iOS and Android. Using the app to film yourself or other wizards and witches as they use the wand in low light produces extraordinary images! Paint your name in the sky or replicate duelling battles then share from your phone directly to friends or via social media.
Available from major retailers globally, the Light Painting Wands cost around £/$/€30.00 each.
Wingardium Leviosa
The new Wingardium Leviosa magic kit lets you create the illusion of flight – lifting a feather into the air using the same levitating command. Now you can recreate the iconic scene from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone where Hermione perfects the Levitation Charm,Wingardium Leviosa.
Imitating one of the first Charms Harry Potter learns to cast, Wingardium Leviosa is ideal for young wizards and witches becoming accustomed to the wizarding world. This magical Harry Potter kit includes a mini-size Hermione’s wand and a beautiful white feather to practice your levitation skills. The feather can be attached to the wand, or your hand, using the soft putty from the pack that lets you suspend the feather using a high-tensile Aramid fibre thread, also provided. This is twice as strong as steel of the same thickness but almost totally invisible from six feet. Lift the feather by moving your wand or hand in the air and watch as the feather dances around, giving the illusion of levitation.
Ideal for cosplay by witches and wizards over 8 years old, Wingardium Leviosa costs £/$€14.99 and is available from major retailers globally.
Tom Riddle’s Diary
Tom Riddle used his diary to store all of his secrets and memories. This all new diary set allows Harry Potter fans to leave their own notes and messages with the included invisible ink pen, which can only be seen under the glowing wand’s UV light. All you have to do is hover the tip over the pages, and what you have written will be magically revealed. This ensures that all your deepest secrets can be left safe and perfectly hidden, as long as you make sure to always carry your wand! The wand is designed to be attached to a key ring, so keeping it safe and hidden from Muggles should be no problem. To make sure true Harry Potter fans feel like they’re writing their hidden notes in the real thing, the diary is designed to look just like Tom Riddles actual diary. This means all true young wizards will feel transported straight to the halls of Hogwarts.
The diary is perfect for any wizards or witches over the age of 8, making it the ideal gift for any magical secret-keeper. Tom Riddle’s Diary costs around £/$€17.99 and is available from major retailers globally.
