Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

I'm Hoping they have Hermione's wand :O I'll wear my time turner and robe with the interactions!

 

[rpc94]

No, my latest info says there could be multiple hero wands. Harry, Dumbledore, and Voldemort would be my (purely speculative) guess.

I already have a normal Harry and Voldemort one, so if they have an interactive Dumbledore/Elder Wand I'd definitely get that one! :smiley:

 

[Brian G.]

From my intel, there will only be 3 to start initially, then more will roll out eventually. To start it's Harry, Hermoine, Dumbledore. And yes, they will be $44.95

 

[rinacee]

So they let you into Island of adventure early?
i hope they do that this time.

Yes. My brother and I were in line by JPRA at 5:30 AM. There were 1000-2000 people ahead of us. Rough estimate. But yeah, they let people in early.

I think they should stop selling the ones that dont do anything to prevent confusion.

No no no. Bad idea. The resin collectors wands are too popular. I'm not saying the interactive wands won't be nice, but I'd be afraid of a bunch of plastic toys taking the place of these popular collectors items. Their inventory of character wands is excellent...

Plus, haven't we heard the collectors wands will be sold in separate shops as the interactive wands?

Are the interactive ones plastic? I was hoping they'd be sort of like the old wands, just ... interactive versions.

Well the old ones warned to be "not a toy". They're resin and look amazing because of it. But if dropped or hit against something, they will instantly shatter.

 

[Brian G.]

The interactive wands will be resin.

 

[Prototype_82]

The interactive wands will be resin.

did not see that coming.

So have we heard ANYTHING about the webcast tomorrow? I feel like it was forgotten

 

[Teebin]

^What could they possibly talk about? I think it is just going to be more, "this is the greatest attraction the world has ever seen, feats of daring and bravery incomparable to any human achievement!..." and on and on and on. I think they plug Woodbury into 240 ac for these hype events.

Well, you're right with that.
I had just hoped that maybe they would reveal a date.

Yeah, he'll probably say June 30th, 2010

LOL, you too remember his brown-out promo.

The webcast, last I heard, is rumored only. Still awaiting confirmation.
