Hold onto your robes, Harry Potter [1] fans, because we have some incredible news that falls just under finally getting your Hogwarts letter: Walmart is selling your favourite characters' wands in blind bags, and they look authentic as hell. The 12-inch wands come in nine styles — Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, Voldemort, Malfoy, Tonks, and a Death Eater — and according to reviewers, are very sturdy and of good quality.
But before you and your kids get too excited, you may have to practice your swish and flicks wandless for a bit longer . . . the $26 wands are currently sold out. However, Walmart has an in-stock alert list that you can get yourself on, and from the sound of the reviews, you're going to want to do that NOW (apparently, when these babies were first released, it was near-impossible to find them because they sold out so quickly). Here's hoping that they're available in time for holiday gifting [2]!
The wand chooses the wizard, yes, but right now, Walmart is our Ollivander and we have to be patient.
