This reproduction of Hermione's wand is fifty-four bucks. And you know what? If my father carved the wood, my mother or I worked on painting it, and I made the velvet sleeve and the box, it'd cost less than ten bucks.

Okay, now I'm tempted to ask my father to make it. Sheesh.

EDIT: You know, I think I like Draco's wand better.

COVETOUS WANNABE WITCH OF EDIT: Trelawney's wand is purple?! *pets* I also like Snape's. The Black Walnut wands are my favorite, I think.

There's another licensed replica company that's making them and selling them for about $25. I asked my husband for one for Christmas. I'll see if I can't find that catalog laying around here for the web address...it's the same place he got me my elven LOTR cloak clasp for last year's Christmas.

Wow, but look at Dumbledore's!

And Luna Lovegood's wand...well, that one looks more like a sex toy to me, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Holy shit, they can see fans coming a mile off, can't they? Twenty-five bucks and I'd say "fair enough." But Fifty-five? Nuh-uh.

Trelawney's wand can afford to be purple and garishly lovely as the rest of her...especially since...well...it's so bloody obvious the woman is a Squib!

Seriously. It's my pet theory. The woman has a wand, waves it about drunkenly, but never uses it. Not even to do a simple Reparo on the teacups Neville is always breaking.

Poor Sibyll. At least she gets a pretty wand!

This Wand was made by Aliens especially for Luna.

My brain went to The Bad Place when I read that Snape's wand has an eleven and a half inch shaft.

Can't be a total squib, or she wouldn't be able to have even an occasional vision, I'd think.

(Maybe the funny fumes in the tower are from some kind of magical marijuana, and she can't use magic because she's too high. And/or someone swapped her real wand for a fake because she was a little too dangerous with the real thing.)

I tend to mentally attribute her actual occasional visions to a hint of good old-fashioned Highland second sight. Being a seer isn't anything exclusive to the Wizarding World, methinks. Trelawney is well-versed in the theoryof divination which...theoretically...would allow a full which or wizard to gain some level of sight. But it's clear that her visions arise from am altogether different source.

Either that our your marijuana theory. It works for me too.

Depending on what exactly is in those fumes, they could very well be the source of the visions, too. ;)

Ye gods I love Trelawney. *grins*

But how do the children keep from becoming affected by the magic fumes of sight?! Is it some sort of Hogwarts protective magic for the underaged witch or wizard?!

mmmm...badfic potential!

I thought the whole point of having a dildo was that you didn't need to worry about using protection. ;)

It probably has to build up in your system for a long time before you can start having visions, and even then it only happens rarely. Otherwise, she'd be having them all the time.

Why sleep when you can discuss magical marijuana?

True, but she'd have had to begin using fairly early in order to have that first oh-so-OotP-important-OMG!vision, no?

I tend to see her as having been at Hogwarts around the MWPP era.

Sleep is over rated.

Family tradition of drug use? Maybe they make it in their basement, so she's been breathing the stuff since infancy.

"Many sex toy sites recommend using condoms with the toys..."

Their concern for hygiene is touching...

"And who knows, you may want to play "Witches and Wizards" with your friends..."

Maybe Ron's wand didn't get broken in the car afterall. Maybe the whole car crash was just a cover story. Harry and Ron were clearly doing naughty things in the backseat.

Hell, it would make sense, no? Especially if the family has a tradition of the 'sight.' Sibyll's mom was probably stoned during her entire pregnancy.

Theoretically, this would go pretty far in explaining some of my darling substance-abusing Sibyll's quirks.

Ye Gods I need some sleep. *grin*

I bought a perfectly good wand for $10 at MediaWest in May. (Not that I costume for HP, nor did I bring it to the PoA premiere -- I just wanted it and it was a good price.) This place is definitely more than a bit overpriced.

Did they miss the bits about, say, "whippy"? Or "twisty," or whatever else they have in the books to indicate that the wands are probably not all rod-straight?

The handle on Trelawney's is super-cool, though.
