Re: Wizarding World of HP... has this happened to anyone else...??
Actually, I think the Lucius Malfoy wand that's inside the cane is made of wood. I may be wrong, but mine is chipped and beech-coloured underneath the black paint..

Ya mine is resin. Do you know how to fix the crack?? I managed to carefully bend it so that the wand was straight again. It was pretty flexible but there is still a crack in it and it will probably bend back soon. |

I have a question... If the wand split and cracked... Did the wand have a core in it? ![]() You know, there are members on these boards here *wink wink* that sell handcrafted wands made of wood that actually have cores in them... Just a thought... You can ask around and find out who makes them and contact them... Hope it works out for you! CM

Re: Wizarding World of HP... has this happened to anyone else...??
Yeah, mine's like that too. I think all the Noble wands are made of resin otherwise though.

WWOHP is selling there wands for $28.99 (I think thats the exact price). And how long do you need to hold it under hot water and cold water? I did it for a few minutes under each and it seems a bit stiffer but i am still able to move the broken part... |

Re: Harry Potter Theme Park v.2
I'd run them both under the hot water until they are movable... then, once they can be bent and placed together, turn the water to cold... leave them there for about a minute or so. This should stiffen up the parts. Afterward, use some superglue to mend the parts together.
Again, I'm only guessing that this is going to work. If it doesn't, you're still out a wand, but at least you tried. Also, no one else has mentioned anything but having it replaced. If the wands at the WWOHP are the same as the Noble Collection ones, then I don't think it would be too dishonest to purchase a second identical wand from the Noble Collection and return the broken one... Or, try calling a 1-800 number... Hope it helps! CM

Re: Wizarding World of HP... has this happened to anyone else...??
It's great, absolutely beautiful, I would very like to go there.
You could wands also buy in London in Hamleys, I bought last summer Hermione's wand, it cost me 25 £. In Hamleys also they have brooms and other wands(Harry's, Ron's, Voldemort's).

Re: Harry Potter Theme Park v.2
February will not be busy at all. Still if there is any kind of crowd it will be right when the park opens. My suggestion is to hit a few other things in the park before running right for harry potter. Also, like i suggested many times before. Make sure you revisit WWOHP at night before close. Hogsmeade looks great and its more fun to shop in the evening anyways because you don;t have to walk around with food and other merchandise while waiting in lines for rides and stuff.

Re: Harry Potter Theme Park v.2
Went yesterday, it was crazy how many people were there. You could barely walk. There were hour long lines just to go into the stores. The Forbidden Journey ride was very cool though. And there was no wait for the dragon challenge ride, which was odd. Butterbeer was alright, takes getting used to. It's really sweet.

As for the dragon challenge. Its a redone ride so a lot of locals skips it. But another reason why the ride lines aren't a long is because the trains move so fast. On the busiest of busy days that ride can keep people moving through. FYI for people who are going to Universal after this week. The crowds should die off and the park should be pretty empty until spring break. |

Re: Harry Potter Theme Park v.2
It was a spontaneous trip to Islands of Adventure for me. I have some cousins visiting and we decided to drive up to Orlando and back in one day (I live in Miami). Looking forward to going again because we didn't have time to go into any of the shops. And the interior of the Dragon Challenge ride is much better than what it was when it was called Dueling Dragons. I was just surprised that there was no wait for it when the place was so packed.

Re: Harry Potter Theme Park v.2
Not sure if people read this Orlando Sentinel article, but its about the success of HP at Universal and execs talking expansion.
The very last paragraph has me the most excited becuase not only does it confirm they will be doing something but it will have to include DH movies. Click HERE for the article. Here's the quote if you dont want to read the article: Quote:

Re: Harry Potter Theme Park v.2
I went in July, and the place was packed seeing as it had just opened. I loved it, but I can't really see where they could expand unless they took away some of the other parks. Frankly that whole Sinbad section could be toppled over and they could expand there. But even without the expansion it's something that every HP fan should go to.
Just a suggestion though, go at night. Florida is a disgustingly hot state, and the lines only make it seem hotter.
