It’s magic the new Universal Orlando wand

It’s magic the new Universal Orlando wand and, of course, in Ollivander’s your purchase chooses you.

Just as in the JK Rowling adventures so too in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando.

Where a twentysomething member of our Aaawlando party and future political correspondent and visitor to the White House lost their stuff.

When the wand picked her.

Just what Emma-Jane would make of the second generation interactive wands that go on sale tomorrow, March 1, I can only imagine.

But imagine the sound of a dementor.

The Second Generation

Window of opportunity: A Potter fan

The Second Generation Interactive Wands feature light and haptic effects for the first time.

A personalised experience available within the Universal Orlando Resort App.

It allows you to take your spellcasting to the next level.

And brand-new locations to cast spells within Hogsmeade at Universal Islands of Adventure, Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida.

And Place Cachée in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic at Universal Epic Universe when the groundbreaking new theme park opens this year.

Now your wand will be available in four designs.

Housed in an exclusive, unique package marked with a wand burst icon.

Each wand will include a spell map that outlines locations they can practise magic.

Appy days

Mind of its own: Your wand

As well as information on how to take their Harry Potter wizarding legacy to a new level.

With Universal Play, available within the Universal Orlando Resort App which looks something like this. 

Personalisation – Guests can personalise their wizarding story by customizing their very own Wizard Profile where they can select their Wizard Name, Hogwarts House, Avatar and Patronus.

Exclusive Adventures – Guests can explore exclusive adventures varying in level of expertise and completion time.

That will enhance their Wizarding Level and mastery of magic within The Wizarding World.

House Points – Guests can earn points for their Hogwarts House with every spell and follow other witches and wizards to see where they square up on the leaderboard.

With each visit, guests will be able to keep track of their House Points and Wizarding Level progress.

As well as Achievements and Spellwork through Universal Play.

The higher the Wizarding Level, the more spells and adventures will be unlocked.

Each day, a House Cup will be rewarded to the house that acquires the most House Points.

New locations in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley

Been there, doing that: Potter World
 
There are five new interactive wand locations throughout Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.

The Duelling Club Tent – In Hogsmeade, guests can cast a spell to bring an abandoned dueling dummy to life and test their dueling spells ability;

The Owl Post – In Hogsmeade, mischievous pixies dart across the window and hide behind packages as guests cast a spell to try and freeze them;

Knockturn Alley Staircase – In Diagon Alley, guests must defend themselves by conjuring their patronus after a dementor emerges within the dimly lit staircase;

Ariadne’s Spinners – In Diagon Alley, guests will need to cast a spell to repel spiders of all sizes before they take over the newspaper-covered glass windows;

Knockturn Alley Sky – In Diagon Alley, guests can cast a spell into the nighttime sky to control a storm or counter-spell to calm the sky.
