Related: About this forumShop for magical wands won't sell them to you if you want them as toys
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/pagans-peeved-after-jk-rowling-mocks-wand-shop-that-refuses-to-sell-to-harry-potter-fans/I have nothing against Harry Potter and actually liked the films. The wands I make though, whether you believe it or not, are real and spiritual. If a Harry Potter fan came to the shop, whether they would be able to buy a wand would depend on why they want one. If for a toy, then no, but if they had watched Harry Potter and been inspired to start their own spiritual journey, then yes.

I guess that's because as a Virgo, I'm naturally skeptical.

.... they'd be grateful people are so gullible as to fall for anything like buying a wand. They should be thanking JK Rowling for creating a demand.

When my daughter was young, and Potter was all the rage, she and some of her friends spent a couple hours making their own wands. A few days later, they were like, "meh, it's a just a stick".

It was just a towel with a diaper pin on it.
