They used to pick you randomly. My daughter was celebrating her 30th birthday which was also her golden birthday. She was picked and the wand he picked for her was made of alder wood. Her Grandpa had passed away 5 years earlier. His hobby was woodworking. Someone gave him all this alder wood and it was his favorite to use. It was so cool and special. This was 4 years ago thank you for bringing back such a special memory.
I teared up watching you get your personal wand. That was so special. I’m in Iraq right now stuck on deployment and can’t come home till Jan. Been here a year now with no R&R 😅 I have been watching your videos all week and I think this video just made my year 😭❤️ Thank you so much for doing this.
I’m a Hufflepuff and am super cheap but when I was chosen out of crowd to be personally fitted in the wand show, you can bet your bottom dollar that I bought my wand! It really was one of my favorite parts of my UO trip!
I really enjoyed watching your wand experience at Ollivanders! It took three times through for my nephew to be chosen. Fortunately we were there early and the crowds were light. Such a cool experience. It looked brighter in the room with the wand master. Thanks for sharing that fun day in Harry Potter land!
We took my daughter on her 11th birthday, and she was the one selected for the wand choosing ceremony. It was one of the best experiences! I get chills when the music starts every time. :)
Never have, never will see Harry Potter movies, but super impressed with the wow level that Universal is putting up these days. Molly thank you so much for your spot on professional videos while sharing the fun!
Slytherin, and totally on my Must Do list when I visit for the first time ever in December. (Yup, grown woman totally gonna do some magic because I am a child)
I did the same thing. My son was sleeping back at the hotel, and I (a grown woman) was wandering Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley with a reed wand and a bag of candy. Growing up is overrated.
It's about time. I will be watchng some of this after dinner, to see what you purchased. This will make your visits to Harry Potter, so much more fun. A broom is next? Wow Molly, this was fun. Love the experience with the wand.
Awesome video. Never been to Universal and wizarding World of Harry Potter. Would love to go, but will be waiting for a few years to get there.....I am a Ravenclaw fan....
Team Ravenclaw here! 💙 Being the 'odd' person that I am, my writting hand is right. While my magical hand is left... Doesn't make too much sense to me either. My wand (hazel) just felt wrong in my right hand. So I just go with it. Also is it weird that I'm disappointed Molly has her mask right side up this video? Regardless, awesome job Molly! I see I missed a few spells when I was there. Going back in October. 😊
@@cavlizzy I'm pretty ambidextrous too, instrumentalist (mostly woodwinds but some piano) turned banker to pay the bills. Too bad I couldn't really work in the magical world. Such a bummer. Though I think the other Laurie who commented is a Hufflepuff. 😊 Even so seems there are more of 'us' 'odd' people out there than I thought. Double yay!
Oh Molly you make me laugh everytime I watch your videos. Your the best, and you have such an amazing job......I'm so jealous you get to do this for a living
I absolutely love the interactive wands!! I don't care how old you are, go have fun with them! Who ever said you were too old to use an interactive wand? I have Luna's interactive wand and Hermione's non-interactive wand (as of now).
I wrestled with whether or not to buy and interactive wand and am so glad I did! Molly, I am a Slytherin and the ivy wand also chose me, so yeah I cried watching this video.
I got a personalised one when I went last time and it was amazing! It was quite expensive but I had so much fun using it with all the interactive windows in diagon alley! ❤️
I love Harry Potter. I am a Gryffindor and my wand is cedar wood with a dragon heartstring core. My patronus is a dapple grey stallion (from the Wizarding World website, of course) Great video! I love your Harry Potter (and Galaxy Edge) vids:)
Great video thanks. My son loves Harry Potter and we had booked to go this year for Disney & Universal - from UK, but 2020 has put a stop to that! We are hopefully going to be able to go next year and would be the first time for us as a family. The wand buying experience looked great fun along with the opportunities to try out the interactive fun. The Harry Potter themed rides look awesome as well.
Went last September with the family, a truly fantastic experience. Our first night there we went for Halloween Horror Nights, and literally stumbled into Diagon Alley by accident. It was nighttime, with very few people there, so we went in and reviewed the characteristics of each want, and then we chose the wands for each other based on how we interpreted each other's personality. It was truly magical to see Diagon Alley our first night, in the dark, and grab ourselves our wands. We watched a few of the wand experience shows the following days, but being with large groups, and all with kids, we didn't get a chance to be the chosen, which we were fine with! This honestly looks like such a better way to do it with appointments, and I hope that can stay in some form even when things open back up completely.
I loved your video!! We are going in a few weeks. I am a Hufflepuff and I purchased Luna Lovegood's interactive wand last year. We didn't get a chance to use it very much but we will make time this trip. Thanks again!!
My soon to be sister in law got picked during the Ollivander’s experience at Universal Hollywood during our trip there in December and the video is great😂😂
We have the same wand! When my hubby and I went last year we did the interactive experience (neither of us were chosen) but we both decided on wands. I got the Ivy interactive because I felt the description best matched me, and he got Sirius' wand. Both are displayed in a double wand holder we purchased from the Wizarding World in my office
OMG! They should give daily house points based on each guest's house and then do the colors on the castle every night for the winning house! Why is this not happening?
As an adult who loves Harry Potter I have done the Ollivanders experience 3 times (pre covid) and I continue to be upset they never chose adults for this. May be worth the trip right now just to know I’d be picked.
Our daughter is almost four...we’ve watched some of the less scary movies and she knows the characters. I’m already planning a trip for her 11th birthday! Olivanders will be our first stop. I’m honestly so incredibly excited for us to do this as a family. Only 7-ish years to go. 😂😂
I have Lunas wand and two other wands. One that chose me. We are going back in November and my fiancé says I don’t need another wand 🙄. He doesn’t get it
They don't even sell the type of wand that Pottermore gave me... Dogwood, pheonix feather core, 11" and slightly springy. Looking up their choices, dogwood doesn't even seem to be an option...
Do you know if wands from universal Hollywood work in Orlando? Going in 3 weeks and wanted to know if I can bring my kids wands or if we need to buy new ones. Great video! Got me super excited to go!
It seems like the wand interactions in Island of Adventure is better than Universal but is there anywhere to purchase wands in Island of Adventure? We are planning on going to Island of Adventure first the taking the train to US
Can't wait for my trip in November! I've never done the Ollivanders experience and I'm gonna finally do it this year but does everyone get the same wand? My bf and I wanna do it together
I am a Hufflepuff according to Pottermore. Not sure if I want to be from Newt’s house. And my patronus is a Pine Martin, whatever that is. I’m enjoying the videos because I could never afford the trip, but I’m a senior citizen Harry Potter fan. I’ve looked at a lot of wands on Pottermore, but I’m having a hard time picking a favorite. The one that picked you was nice.
The cast member in the wand shop was AMAZING! Props to her.... how much fun!!
I was just thinking the same thing!
I totally agree! She was amazing!

Thank you for your service.
Vanessa Lavoie yes, thank you for your sacrifice and for keeping us safe. You are neither a loser or a sucker!
Vanessa Lavoie thank you for your service ❤️❤️❤️❤️ honored to send you a little magic across the world.
Hello from another American back home. I hope you (and those there with you) can come back soon and wander Diagon Alley to your hearts content.
Andromeda Spark thank you! We’re definitely looking forward to it 😌❤️

ah I'm glad to hear the Fantastic Beasts series also has compelling characters such as boring brunette, sassy blonde woman and weird kid :)
I LOVE those glasses you’re wearing!! You’re so fashionable!
Can’t believe Molly doesn’t have her own channel. She is the best at vlogging.
It's about time. I will be watchng some of this after dinner, to see what you purchased. This will make your visits to Harry Potter, so much more fun. A broom is next? Wow Molly, this was fun. Love the experience with the wand.
That chosen wand looks so cool!
Great video - my kids had so much fun in Universal with the wands!
Haven’t been to Universal in years. I feel like it’s time for a visit.
Team Ravenclaw! Need me a Luna Lovegood wand!! 😍💙
"If you want to point your mobile box around the place." That cast member was great 😂
Awesome video. Never been to Universal and wizarding World of Harry Potter. Would love to go, but will be waiting for a few years to get there.....I am a Ravenclaw fan....
I have that exact same wand!!
Man, I really wanna go back to HP World one day…
Team Ravenclaw here! 💙
Being the 'odd' person that I am, my writting hand is right. While my magical hand is left... Doesn't make too much sense to me either. My wand (hazel) just felt wrong in my right hand. So I just go with it.

@Laurie Lately well YAY! Glad there are others out there too.
Ravenclaw here also! As a dental hygienist, I am mostly ambidextrous! (also "Laurie" seems to be a popular Ravenclaw name) :)

For the alohamora door, grab the handle after the spell 😉
Another cool video. Looks like so much fun
Looked like so much fun. Truly appreciate your videos and excitement.
I’m a hufflepuff with a dolphin patronus. So much fun!
Great video Molly! It was amazing watching the whole experience, we will be taking part in that on our next visit, looks so much fun! Love Ceri x
Wand experience brought me to tears! That was AMAZING
Team Hufflepuff here!!! But my fav charachter is Luna.
I absolutely love the interactive wands!! I don't care how old you are, go have fun with them! Who ever said you were too old to use an interactive wand? I have Luna's interactive wand and Hermione's non-interactive wand (as of now).

I love the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I really want to go back and do the interactive wand too. Great video Molly!
This was the best video! When I visited Harry Potter land I spent my entire 5 days at universal making wand magic! So fun! Gave me the feels :)
That isn't Crookshanks in the Magical Menagerie that's a Kneazle
I got a personalised one when I went last time and it was amazing! It was quite expensive but I had so much fun using it with all the interactive windows in diagon alley! ❤️
How much was your personalized wand? Headed down soon & didn’t know if it was in my budget!!😃❤️
@@myteacherlifeleowife3422 To me, it’s a must do. Considering how much you’ve spent already....just do it.
Build a bear is having harry potter bears and they are so cute!
Absolutely Magical. Molly your the best
I love Harry Potter. I am a Gryffindor and my wand is cedar wood with a dragon heartstring core. My patronus is a dapple grey stallion (from the Wizarding World website, of course)
Great video! I love your Harry Potter (and Galaxy Edge) vids:)
I'm a slytherin and my patrons is a hippogriff.
That was so much fun to watch! Thanks.
Another great video Molly, I took the house sorting test and got place in Raven claw. Stay Safe .
great video molly! ☺️
Great video thanks. My son loves Harry Potter and we had booked to go this year for Disney & Universal - from UK, but 2020 has put a stop to that!

The wand that "chose you" is really awesome!!
I'm wondering if rhe witch or wizard with the scroll will be a permanent thing at the parks or if it will be only temporary.

I didn't know you could do so many cool things with the wands!
Loved the green sparkle effect from your magic wand at the end of the video! How did you do it? A camera filter?
Thanks for sharing the magic!
🥰 I asked for a bunch of Ravenclaw stuff for when I go to Universal so I can be all decked out in my Ravenclaw murch
This has got to be one of the most immersive fantasy places in the world
I cannot wait to come and try this
I loved your video!! We are going in a few weeks. I am a Hufflepuff and I purchased Luna Lovegood's interactive wand last year. We didn't get a chance to use it very much but we will make time this trip. Thanks again!!
This seems so exciting, I would give my left arm to experience this!
Molly ur like my favorite yt ur sooooo cool I luv ur all day thrill Disney rides :D
Definitely a Slytherin. I am wanting to get Sirius Black's wand when I go back!
Those shelves at the wand shop are super-good theming, and for a minimal investment (how much can a tilted shelf cost?) very clever!
Yes, I feel like I was one of the crazy people who requested this!!
And I feel ya Molly, I haven't really gotten into the fantastic beasts books.
My soon to be sister in law got picked during the Ollivander’s experience at Universal Hollywood during our trip there in December and the video is great😂😂
Wow interesting video .We will have to try that next time we are there
Love you Molly! A fellow Slytherin 🐍💚 Can’t wait to get an interactive wand on my next visit (in 18 months..!)
I’m a Slytherin and I would need Hermoine’s interactive wand for sure!!
We have the same wand! When my hubby and I went last year we did the interactive experience (neither of us were chosen) but we both decided on wands. I got the Ivy interactive because I felt the description best matched me, and he got Sirius' wand. Both are displayed in a double wand holder we purchased from the Wizarding World in my office

I will be in the parks 09-13-22, two years from your magical adventure, I'm going to do the same as you!
Our daughter is almost four...we’ve watched some of the less scary movies and she knows the characters. I’m already planning a trip for her 11th birthday! Olivanders will be our first stop. I’m honestly so incredibly excited for us to do this as a family. Only 7-ish years to go. 😂😂
Oh my gosh, I thought wand day was a special event, which would ve super cute.
Hey molly one time I saw you in Disney world last year at the German area at Epcot, I would have said hi but I was two shy ☺️
I am a Hufflepuff, also great video Molly 😄.
Yup got the Sirius Black wand and my daughter got Beatrix LaStrange wand neither of us got pick and than we did magic in Hollywood Ca
Do you have to set an appointment for Ollivanders?
The wand selecting you part I mean
I have Lunas wand and two other wands. One that chose me. We are going back in November and my fiancé says I don’t need another wand 🙄. He doesn’t get it
The Cho Chang shade! Hahaha hate to see it but it’s true 🤐😅
Great Video!
They don't even sell the type of wand that Pottermore gave me... Dogwood, pheonix feather core, 11" and slightly springy. Looking up their choices, dogwood doesn't even seem to be an option...
The wand that you got (wand of ivy) is the wand that I like to have
There is actually different hedwigs same color but like they way there grinned or there spots eyes tip I have a really cool one
You can also get a collector wand. I got a 2021 wand, going back to get a 2022 wand
Love Harry Potter at universal Orlando
She's a witch! "She turned me into a newt... I got better"
Nice Monty python quote
ur wans so cool mine has vines all over it and its greyish blue lol
This Ravenclaw can't wait to take her little Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Do all the magic, see all the things, and eat all the foods.
I got chosen in Hollywood when I was 11 and it was the most amazing experience ever. Btw Molly, I got the same wand that you did when I got chosen 😂
I must go there eventually.
I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know if wands from universal Hollywood work in Orlando? Going in 3 weeks and wanted to know if I can bring my kids wands or if we need to buy new ones. Great video! Got me super excited to go!
It seems like the wand interactions in Island of Adventure is better than Universal but is there anywhere to purchase wands in Island of Adventure? We are planning on going to Island of Adventure first the taking the train to US
“The boring brunette girl!” 😂😂
Hufflepuff 💛🖤 ...love your videos!
That is Celtic wand for October. I have it. There are 13 based on birthday.
Ravenclaw here ive always liked Mcgonicals wand
Can't wait for my trip in November! I've never done the Ollivanders experience and I'm gonna finally do it this year but does everyone get the same wand? My bf and I wanna do it together

Question. Are all of the interactive wands the same price? I would hate to think I was chosen by the $1000 wand.
6:28, "That weird kid," hahahahaha!
Slytherin!!! What is the best month to go to Harry Potter World?
i love how i got the last Bill Weasley wand that they had lol
HUfflepuff! Haven't done it yet but I'm going in January!!
The first wand you tried is the wand that I got!
Don't forget to read your wand map inside Knockturn Alley to see all the hidden spells! ;)
