Calling all wizards! We just got a look at the new wands coming to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe, and you’ll want to see these details.
We’re here at Universal Orlando for a special preview of the NEW Epic Universe theme park! As part of our visit, we saw some stunning new wands, so now that we’re armed with new spellcasting locations and an exclusive first look, it’s time to show off the wands! Let’s go!
Since The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened, picking out a wand has been part of the tradition, truly immersing you in the land.
In the new land at Epic Universe, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Ministry of Magic, you’ll be able to pick up a wand from Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magique, the premier Parisian wand shop. A whole new collection of wands was released for this shop!
At Cosme Acajor, they believe in a “unique approach to wand lore and Parisian couture influence come together to create not only a fine wand but a work of art.” Unlike Ollivanders, where the wand chooses the wizard, here, you search for a wand.
The wands will feature signature three-sided boxes that come with a map of the land so you can practice spell casting! Each wand comes with an insert with information about the wand, and the wand that we grabbed says…
…”The graceful, almost whimsical sweep of this swirled vine baguette magique contrasts beautifully with its geometrically embellished, brass-coloured handle. What may seem to the untrained eye to be a paradox of design is, in fact, a brilliant nod to the remarkable vision beyond the ordinary with which such a wand’s owner is most certainly blessed. The master of a vine wand possesses hidden depths perhaps only truly understood by those of us with similar profundity.”
Our wand has a stunning handle and, like Universal says, is truly a work of art.
The new map shows us all of the spots where we can practice our spells, including the Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley areas.
We love all the details on the map. The style makes us feel like we’re stepping right into the Ministry of Magic with Harry Potter. We’re ready to wander the streets of the 1920s wizarding world of Paris.
Throughout the land, you’ll be able to interact with magical elements with the help of your wand. It might take some practice, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be a true wizard!
This new collection of wands will be available on May 22nd, when Epic Universe opens to the public. We’ve been counting down the days, and now that we’re finally able to see all of these details, you’ll want to book a ticket to the park right away.
We’re spilling all the details of Epic Universe so make sure you’re following Disney Food Blog to be the first to know everything coming to this new Universal Park.
