I know you said they pick kids for the wand show, but they really should pick you because of the wonderful childlike enthusiasm and joy you radiate in all your videos! 🤩 Always a joy to watch. 👍
They do sometimes pick adults, but we have done it so many times and neither of us have ever been chosen! You are so sweet! Thank you so much for that!
I’m so glad you mentioned that they will fix them. I was worried about getting them for the kiddos as they are little (and clumsy). This makes it an easy decision! I loved the pure joy on Anna’s face when she’s making the feather float!
They are awesome souvenirs to bring home! We honestly have a whole shelf of them at this point… it’s an addiction lol. It’s was so genuine too! There were magic spots we visited that we didn’t record and it was the same reaction! 😍
Great video! It made me want to get a new wand next week, I love the color of the fantastic beast wand box! Our first time going was my sons make a wish trip, even on that he didn't get picked in the wand ceremony, (looking back I should have set it up, i just assumed being make a wish and knowing it was it wish it would happen) we struggled so hard with the magic at first, it was so crowded we couldn't find the spots and it was crushing to be at his make a wish and things being so bad. I went into ollivanders and explained the situation, once they realized it was his make a wish they were beyond amazing, they had someone with us in every area helping him, even when we went to hogsmeade it just felt like they were looking for him to help. It was so special and the way he was treated on my wish trip really made me a fan of universal for life.
Oh my gosh, thank you for sharing your story with us. We hope you and your family are doing okay. It’s great to hear that Universal could help you make such wonderful memories! The team members really do go above and beyond at the parks to make Universal the special place that it is.
Working on a creative way to frame/display the wand map…it’s so “displayable”! And… yes logic says Anna is a wand…but logic also says since tomatoes are a fruit, ketchup is a smoothie…so…
They are so awesome, we have been thinking about how to do it ourselves. I’m going to intercept this comment before Anna gets to it because the idea of a ketchup smoothie will make her Reese’s face.
It is amazing how many videos you guys filmed while you were there for just a few days! I can't believe you captured The prettiest wizard in all the lands... :)
3 minutes late, my personal best! I tend to like the Death Eater wands, black and sliver is a good combination. However, I ended up getting one of the Universal generic wands.
I love your videos! And I definitely love when a video combines HP & Universal (my wife and I are huge fans of both). I signed up to become a patreon member today! Loving your content. And do both of you wear glow in the dark shoes? lol 😆
Aww thank you so much Justin! We really appreciate the support! We are huge potterheads and love doing these type of videos. Haha no, only Tyler... for now 👀
What?? How could you? Haha we are just playing, but that is so sweet. The books and the movies have been a part of our lives for so long at this point that we can’t picture ourselves without them!
@@ThePughTwo I know, I mean I love the Harry Potter areas at Universal. I can't even imagine how much cooler it is if you love Harry Potter. I think it's so fun without even knowing much. I do love the owl though!
I need that wand with the purple stone so bad!! 💜 ...Awesome video as always!! 😍😂 Anna is a wand haha ❤ So adorable!! Ps: I remember when I got picked for the wand show, that time it was no crowd, just me and my bf and he told them it was my first time ever and I was shy at first but oh wow it really felt truly magical ✨
Haha thank you so much Vicky! That wand is Seraphina Picquerys wand! We can’t wait for the day that we get picked! That sounds like such an amazing memory!
Youve probably mentioned this before, but where do you stay when you travel to Universal???? were staying at Royal Pacific December 1st, if youve stayed there in the past whats your opinion on the resort!!! Love your videos
We stay at just about any and all of the on-site resorts! We love Royal Pacific! We also really enjoy their breakfast buffet which is on the first level!
you two are so entertaining I love your videos !!! All your tips are so helpful!!!! I’m going to universal next month. Island of adventure for the first time and I’m extra pumped thanks to your videos . would be so excited if I met you guys. sending love from Chicago,Illinois 🎉🎉🏖🏖
Have you guys ever been during late December/early January? That's when I'm going and I was wondering if it is less crowded than early christmas break, Thanks.
@@ThePughTwo We are staying at hardrock so we will have express, even on the busiest week do you think we will be waiting more than 30 minutes with express?
The absolute only thing I'll thank covid for is that when i was able to go there was low crowds and they were only letting in one group at a time to Olivander's. My group was me all garbed up in wizardly fashion and my wife who videoed me turning into a sugared up child getting chosen. Now I just hope I'll be able to go back someday, cuz covid also gave me some awesome long term stuff. Love to meet you guys someday.
Hey Donald! That is an amazing story and we bet it’s an incredible memory! We hope we have the pleasure to meet you in the parks one day as well! Hope you are feeling ok.
The time I got chosen, we were first in line at the door in the next group. I don't know if the team member at the door hinted to the Ollivanders worker to pick us or something? My sister and I were chosen together. The wands he gave us weren't working, so we had to swap, and then they worked. I was so giddy.
Ive always wanted to know since you guys mentioned being from Tennessee, do you guys travel from out of state to the parks or are Florida residents? (Just wondering cause I'm a Florida native and just got my first annual passs this year!)
@@ThePughTwo whatever you guys do don't move directly to orlando! There's so many beautiful towns and places up in central florida that aren't too far from the parks but just far away enough to do day trips! (I HIGHLY reccomend checking out Eustis and Mount Dora, Northwest of Orlando, I used to drive through them to the parks when I was in college and near Gainesville and it was always gorgeous, and besides Ocala National Forest there's so many unique rivers and lakes in this part of Florida to camp at/explore :D
My son was chosen back in 2011. He was 8 at that time and people used to call him Harry, because he actually looked like Harry Potter. 😉 He was so sure he was going to be chosen, I was afraid of the disappointment, had he not been picked.
The last time we were at Universal going through security we were told by one of the security guards not to put the interactive wands through the conveyor belt because the machine can actually damage the sensor!
Anna, you said you were a travel agent…….just wondering if you could work up a trip for me? 2022, four adults , England, Scotland , and Ireland Somewhere around two weeks.
I know my daughter will probably want a wand and the whole matching outfit if they sold it lol! Do you think someone who has never seen the Harry Potter movies or read the books (of course I'm not talking about me...lol) would still enjoy the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal? Okay....I am talking about me lol. I know I know...I'm ashamed lol. I do plan on watching them all before I visit but because I'm so far behind, I can't say I'm a die hard fan just yet...may take awhile for it to all soak in.
We think you can definitely enjoy it without knowing anything, however you will enjoy it 1000 times more if you at least watch the movies! My brother went the first time and knew nothing and then watched the movies and had to go back instantly!
Haha we've done it so many times and neither one of us has ever gotten picked! We even did it when it was one party at a time and our niece got picked 🤣
@@ThePughTwo no but if you talk to a witch or wizard in the shop they will help you find the perfect wand for you! It's kind of like the show without the magic.
What wand is your FAVORITE in the Wizarding World??
I’m torn between Moody’s and Tonks’.
I really like Peter Pettigrew’s but don’t understand how he got such a sweet wand…
A wand that doesn't cost an arm and a leg
@@MusicSeason22 That is hard to find at Universal haha!
@@mikedittenber5271 Moody's is cool.. We are really digging some of the ones from the Fantastic Beast series as well!
@@mikedittenber5271 yeah... The rat should not have such a cool wand...

There is an entire career opportunity in making interactive devices to use your wands at home. The old mouse trap game sold millions.
I am literally leaving for Florida in two hours. Thank you guys so much for the tips and tricks for universal. I really appreciate it. 😁
Ahh that’s so exciting! Have a safe and fun trip! We are so excited to hear about it when you get back!
Omg!!!! Have so much fun!!!
Did you have fun? I'm going in six days

Oh my gosh you’re so sweet! Thank you!!
Wow great stuff! had no idea about secret spots in Knockturn alley and backlights! thanks!
It’s such an awesome little touch that they certainly didn’t have to add! We love the little Easter eggs like that!
Anna is definitely a wand lmao 🤣 great tips had no clue about the black light and the map
Lol appreciate it Eddy. We didn’t know it for a long time either!

I used a shadow box. And hung the wand at the bottom.
You guys are so cute!! Your videos were definitely helpful last week when my husband and I got to go to Universal together for the first time ❤
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰 We are so happy that we could be a small part of your universal experience and that the videos helped!
It is amazing how many videos you guys filmed while you were there for just a few days! I can't believe you captured The prettiest wizard in all the lands... :)

Oh no... I'm in trouble! I really want Dumbledores' original wand and didn't know they had it interactive! That will be my first purchase for sure!
We’ve been wanting it for a while and had to buy it! Enjoy your new wand haha!
How excited for Fantastic Beasts: The secrets of Dumbledore, are you? I can't wait to go see it!

3:18 Whose wand is that with the pink crystal at the base? Is it someone's or original from the park?
Oh gosh, I can’t remember right now! lol we love that wand, though!
Have you guys ever been during late December/early January? That's when I'm going and I was wondering if it is less crowded than early christmas break, Thanks.
The week after Christmas and of New Years is the busiest week of the year for Universal! You can still have a good time, but it is busy for sure!
@@ThePughTwo We are staying at hardrock so we will have express, even on the busiest week do you think we will be waiting more than 30 minutes with express?
@@yacob351 hmm it’s possible on some of the more popular rides, but with express you shouldn’t have any issues!
Im guessing she is made with Tennessee Pine, Hair of Ginger and a Nostalgia heart string, perfect match.
😂😂 I’m low key considering changing my social media bios to this. 100% accurate! Lol
The absolute only thing I'll thank covid for is that when i was able to go there was low crowds and they were only letting in one group at a time to Olivander's. My group was me all garbed up in wizardly fashion and my wife who videoed me turning into a sugared up child getting chosen.

Hey Donald! That is an amazing story and we bet it’s an incredible memory! We hope we have the pleasure to meet you in the parks one day as well! Hope you are feeling ok.
Any tips on trying to fit the wands in the lockers?
We have never had issues with the wands! We put them diagonally in their own locker and they fit just fine!
@@ThePughTwo I see some ppl online say some wands don't fit in the lockers. Were you able to fit yours in the smaller lockers?
@@MusicSeason22 we have never had an issue! We only use the small free lockers and we get a wand almost every trip!
I heard you can bring your own wand from home, but it has to have a rounded tip. What does that mean (like no point, or a rounded point)?
We’ve never heard about that, but it sounds right! Lol probably for safety reasons I guess!
You guys should try that thing where people make their own wands and they work at universal
Hmmm we need to look into this!
The time I got chosen, we were first in line at the door in the next group. I don't know if the team member at the door hinted to the Ollivanders worker to pick us or something? My sister and I were chosen together. The wands he gave us weren't working, so we had to swap, and then they worked. I was so giddy.
That is such an awesome story! That must be an amazing memory for you and your sister!
Is it true they have stopped the interactive fun with the interactive wands at Universal Orlando?
Are you talking about the wand spots?? If so, no you can definitely still do magic!
Can you only get the map by purchasing a wand? We have ours from Universal Hollywood that we planned on taking but now that I've seen the map.....🤔
This is a good question. We have never seen them for sale individually, so maybe?? We honestly aren’t sure!
Ive always wanted to know since you guys mentioned being from Tennessee, do you guys travel from out of state to the parks or are Florida residents? (Just wondering cause I'm a Florida native and just got my first annual passs this year!)
We travel from TN! We’re hoping to change that here soon, but right now we visit about once a month.
@@ThePughTwo whatever you guys do don't move directly to orlando!

can you buy wands in any of the hotel gift shops?
Some of them have a select amount of wands! They do not have every wand however!
My son was chosen back in 2011. He was 8 at that time and people used to call him Harry, because he actually looked like Harry Potter. 😉 He was so sure he was going to be chosen, I was afraid of the disappointment, had he not been picked.
Awh, how perfect! We’re so glad he was picked. That must be such a great memory for both him and you! We hope it was Harry’s wand that chose him!
How long would it take to do magic at all locations?
Hmmm you could probably do it in a couple hours if it wasn’t too busy!
I have that one too
We love it!!
Do wands fit in ride lockers?
They do!
@@ThePughTwo thank you! Y’all have really helped us! We are from Chattanooga area! We’ve never been to universal studios. We are going in may 2024!
The last time we were at Universal going through security we were told by one of the security guards not to put the interactive wands through the conveyor belt because the machine can actually damage the sensor!
Wow! We haven’t heard that one before, but honestly it doesn’t shock us. I think if you look at them the wrong way they’ll break 😂😂

Anna, you said you were a travel agent…….just wondering if you could work up a trip for me? 2022, four adults , England, Scotland , and Ireland Somewhere around two weeks.
Absolutely! I don’t think it will let me type my email here but my email is in the video descriptions!
Well you chose her, too, so you’re both wand. Quick cast Revealio to show your true forms. “Uhh, oh wait…” Another fun video. Thanks
So we are just two wands hanging out together 😂😂. Thank you so much for watching Tracy!
i like his hat
Thank you so much! Its called an aussie hat!
Do you just carry your wand all day? Do you put it in your backpack when not using it? Special wand bag…?
Absolutely! If you already have a backpack they’re not really a burden!!
I was chosen on my birthday when I got my wand in 2018.
That is awesome! We are so excited about the day that we finally get chosen!
Great ✨✨ 🌼😄

Should have went during the pandemic when they only allowed familiar groups go together.
