Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes

I was thinking one like the result I got. It'd be cool to get a customized one

It probably wouldn't be that hard to craft if one knows some woodworking techniques. That said it'll probably be expensive to have someone do this for you.

A quick Google search reveals several crafters, though it's debatable how many of those are legitimate.

I'm sure places like WWHP probably sell them, but not custom-made.

Okay, legit question: Movies or books, which should I do first?

I recommend the books because they are so much more in depth in regards to the universe.

Well if we're being technical none of them are legit

unless someone found a phoenix or unicorn or whatnot when I wasn't looking

Definitely books. In addition to what Truth said, the movies are just a mess as a series if you're not familiar with the books first. I mean, there were 4 different directors, after all.

I like the movies a lot, but the books are far superior.

@Lief no I'm pretty sure the WWHP ones are legitimate, magical sticks of wood :V

Now that you mention it, you're right about the movies being a mess. One of the things I remember the most was that the first two movies were of identical setup that I think was pretty faithful to the books, but there was a major shift in the third to the point the main characters themselves looked much older, and also the abandonment of the school dress code halfway through the movie.

I didn't really care that the dress code changed, it was a movie, they had to make it look good. I liked that they didn't keep the dress code.

I meant more along the lines that they left out major plot points (like [spoiltext]the explanation that Remus, James, Sirius, and Peter are the Marauders[/spoiltext]) which would make the rest of the series quite confusing to follow.

Oh yeah that's kinda important isn't it. It's been quite some time since I watched the first five movies, never really saw much of the last three.

Just did Pottermore stuff to find out my houses and such.
I'm apparently in Gryffindor for Hogwarts. My Ilvermorny house is Wampus, which I don't really agree too much with, but okay.

My wand is Pine with Unicorn Hair, 10 inches, with a Rigid flexibility.

Also, I finished rereading Sorcerer's Stone last night, and will start Chamber of Secrets probably tomorrow. It's been a while since I read the books. I'd forgotten how juvenile the first was written. :V Also how small the first 3 are.
Snazz and I only set aside the first two books though, so I won't be able to read Prisoner of Azkaban (probably my favorite) until after the move.

I don't know anything about this Parry Hotter stuff but I started snorting and guffawing something fierce when I read this shit. Somebody clue me in here.

Magic wands have various properties that determine how sturdy they are, the type of spells they can easily do, and how they interact with their owner.

Pottermore wrote:Wand flexibility or rigidity denotes the degree of adaptability and willingness to change possessed by the wand-and-owner pair - although, again, this factor ought not to be considered separately from the wand wood, core and length, nor of the owner’s life experience and style of magic, all of which will combine to make the wand in question unique.

Most wands will be in the range of between nine and fourteen inches. While I have sold extremely short wands (eight inches and under) and very long wands (over fifteen inches), these are exceptionally rare. In the latter case, a physical peculiarity demanded the excessive wand length. However, abnormally short wands usually select those in whose character something is lacking, rather than because they are physically undersized (many small witches and wizards are chosen by longer wands).

Oh yeah, Daniel Radcliffe recently neither affirmed nor denied that he would play Harry Potter again in a movie.

YEAH I BET IT'S A SHOCK WHEN A BIG WAND CHOOSES A SMALL WITCH OR WIZARD SNRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
