I do not want to poo-poo the wands entirely because I know a lot of people are really excited about them. If you love the idea of casting a spell, you are a diehard Potter fan. Your dream in life is to be able to cast your own spells. Totally do it. No neg on that. Also, in some of the other universal parks, there is an Ollivander's wand shop. So Ollivander, he's like the shop owner.

He picks out a guest from the crowd to go through the experience of selecting a wand. I've done that twice now. It's super sweet. The first time, Ollivander picked this little kid and they went through some little spells. And the kid honestly believed that, you know, he cast a perfect spell. It was so heartwarming. The second time I did it, Ollivander picked me. You were the kid.
