I bought three things (well one of them was for my friend Lorm as a birthday present and didn't actually come out of the gift card but it was still part of the same order so it counts).
The first thing I got was a pair of Quidditch goggles as seen below:
These are super comfy and just amazing. I really really like wearing them. They are a great purchase. I told Lorm that whenever I put them on I feel like I should swoop around and snatch the Snitch. The little Snitches on the side are cute little replicas that look exactly like the real Snitches used in the movie. I mostly wear them around my neck or on my head because I find eye ware weird.
The next thing I got was Lorm's birthday gift (it was a REALLY early gift as I gave it to her in early October and her birthday is November 4th). She is a massive Luna Lovegood fan and is actually JUST like her which is amazing. For her birthday I got her Luna's wand. This wand is amazingly beautiful. It is swooshy and really nicely carved. Lorm likes it a lot. It is resin so it is heavier then one would first think, but it is perfect for dueling (at least for her). Here is a picture of what the wand looks like:
The wand is amazing. It is not my type of wand, it is too swishy and little too short for me, but Lorm really loves it.
The last thing I got, which is my personal favorite, is my wand. It is an exact replica of Ginny's wand and it is beautiful. When I first picked it up I thought it was too heavy when I first picked it up but after a day I realized it is PERFECT. I love it. It is the right length, about 14 inches, and is the perfect wand for martial dueling. I don't like swishing wands, they feel weak to me. My wand is tough, unbending and unyielding. It has started to feel absolutely perfect, almost like an extension of my arm. The grip is perfect, it has a handle that fits my fist exactly. Here is a picture:
It is black so it is the exact opposite in terms of color of my wand on Pottermore which is Aspen (Aspen wood is white). But still, I love it beyond belief! I will be posting about how it is for dueling soon, because dueling is awesome (a lot more about that because I know it sounds a little ridiculous.
Tell me about your wand. Or if you could have the wand of any Harry Potter character which one would it be? Also, what Harry Potter prop or replica do you really want?
