This peticular wand keeper is the best and most authentic. Seen him in person several times. He is an original from the old wand shop before diagonal alley and has been doing this for years. He's a great actor. I wish I knew his name or more about him. I hope he becomes a real hollywood actor as that is the ambition of most theme actors. His presence is a relaxing asmr too!
I'm leaving for Universal this Saturday and I'm so excited! My mom said I can get a wand as a souvenir and I'm so excited! She said I can also get stuff from the joke shop and stuff like that.
Its crazy to think that these replica wands are about $50aud each, and they have thousands of them on shelves in that place for people to pick up and buy, and probably more out back in storage to stock shelves with at the end of the day.
@@rhiannanwebb5557 I was wondering this! I know they’ve got 2 Ollivanders in the park cus there’s one inside Hogsmeade too! I was curious if they switched all the wands during the sorting to the interactive ones as well, can you still buy regular ones or are they all interactive now?
The Ollivander they employed is a great actor. It is really cool but I suppose its a pain that you have to buy the wand if you get picked, they should at least offer a discount. I went here yesterday on my Birthday and my eleven year old brother got chosen, I know its stupid and I'm really annoyed with myself but I got into a huge strop, I didn't say anything but I was huffing and puffing the entire experience, I was just stood with my arms folded and not laughing at anything Ollivander said. I'm a massive Harry Potter fan and my brother isn't! Ollivander should have chosen meeeeeee!! I would enjoyed it so much more!!! I do realize now that he probably just saw an eleven year old boy and a blonde, fifteen year old girl in a pretty dress so of course he chose my brother. I should have worn my sorting hat hat and my Luna Lovegood spectrespecs and my deathly hallows necklace, my deathly hallows bracelet, my dark mark tattoo, my Luna Lovegood t-shirt and my Gryffindor scarf.
that's too bad sorry that happened. I have a little brother that is 6 that could care less about being chosen for that, but I am soooooo wanting it to be me.
Every experince is different though. I haven't had the chance to go, but out of the videos I've seen, I think they typically pick children for a reason than adults. Not always the case, but probably because children believe in the "magic" more than adults.
So what's it like if you're not chosen? Do you just pick any wand you find in the shop? Or is there someone that picks the wand for you, similar to Ollivander?
Yep! You can pick any wand that you like from the shop. You can also give your birthday to one of the shop workers and they'll tell you what type of wand is made for you! - Tad, Undercover Tourist
Soda Cat Girl Of course! They wouldn't only offer who ever is picked. Even if you are picked, you aren't forced to buy it is the most common misconception there is. It's just a mini show/experience.
Hey @sugar skullz5987! He sure does! We spoke with Guest Relations and they recommend speaking with a team member before entering, if possible. But it's an experience everyone is able to enjoy! :)
@@undercovertourist thank you so much . I'm a blind girl wizard and I got my wand in 2018 before I lost my sight and it went so bad that I have to use a wizard staff to get around with so I dont hit into anything or fall
Yes they are still doing the interactive wand experience. Check out this recent video of the wand experience post reopening. The queue is now standby and depending on how busy the park is, there may be others in your group. ua-cam.com/video/l6NwyBoWI9c/v-deo.html
What makes the Ollivanders inside the Diagon Alley different than the one that's been in the Hogsmeade expansion all this time? They're basically the same right? I dont see what the point of having 2 was
+Chestney Chiller there was only one room at Hogsmeade and it always got full and packed and the line was long, in Diagon Alley there's 2-5 rooms, so there's constant shows and barely a line.
when you are chosen, does the actor playing ollivander give you a wand you could use for doing the spells around the two places to interact and how many types do you know?
there was a blockout at universal one time not islands of adventure i was like universal has barley not enough rides it was islands of adventure tht didnt have tht much rides so we wanted to go to diagon alley but.... it was at universal and i got so mad
Dear Tad I am going there in August and I have a question about the wands if you don't get chosen would you still be able to purchase a wand and if you know what are the prices for the interactive wands thank you
Hi Lanz Domingo! You certainly still can purchase a wand if you aren't chosen! They're available in stores throughout Universal Orlando (including Ollivanders). The prices for the interactive wands are now $47.95. Hope you have a magical time! - Tad, Undercover Tourist
+CrazyPotatoKilla From what I've seen online, yes you can. They have unique ones at the front of the shop that are interactive. And I also believe you can get the character wands as interactive ones too.
I had the one-on-one experience because it was during the preview of the event. Usually, you will join a group of people, and one wizard will be chosen. Best of luck to you both! - Tad, Undercover Tourist
They have to chose you? Oh man. And does it cost to be chosen or just for the wand. And how much is the wand? I would appreciate it if you would reply as I am going on Wednesday. Thanks!
No, you don't have to buy the wand. You would also have the option to buy a different wand, although that's not very wizardish :) - Tad, Undercover Tourist
if i buy a wand the wand isnt like another wand is it? And this wands isnt main characters wand isnt they? The wands alone and special for we isnt they? i hope you take a answer thank you
+Ilona based on the videos I've seen they don't seem to. :/ It seems based on your bday, which according to when I was doing research (stumbled on it), its based on JK Rowlings calendar for the wands and type. So depending on your zodiac sign (which it seems to be closer to), depends on the wand you'll end up getting. So if you know your bday wand, you should be able to just walk in, pick it up and walk out. Otherwise for what you are looking for, Noble Collections might be better. I have never ordered from there, but there selection is insane~ But yeah. that's all I can tell you off what I know. Sadly I live in AZ, so I am basically waiting for the Universal LA version.
That does seem cool! :) Thanks for answering so fast! Also, do you happen to know if any of the regular wands there are made out of wood such as yew or ebony? I personally would love to get my hands on an ebony wand!
Shelby Lynn Some wands are decoration. There's a stand right across from Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (in Hollywood) that has character wands on display. If they have a circular black tip, they're interactive (don't touch the tip; or else it'll break it and the wand won't work). If it's just a wand with no tip, it's just decoration.
Random_Magikarp It is super cool, Corey Lineberry! Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/WT29QrW7Bp0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/5RRGSWByD7E/v-deo.html -Tad, Undercover Tourist
EJ Estonactoc Go to Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley and get in line for the experience! As far as being chosen out of the group for the wand experience, no one knows who Ollivander will choose ;) -- Tad, Undercover Tourist
Random_Magikarp Nope! And you're not obligated to purchase the wand either, if you're chosen. If you get a chance to visit, let us know how it goes! -Tad, Undercover Tourist
I'm a girl wizard and I got my wand in 2018 and I'm blind and I use a white cane to help get me around and i call it the wizard staff and it has powerful magic and I learned to master it and I got the hang of it . What's the wizards name in the shop with a beard hes cool
are wand is true at this shop because im gonna buy one i dont like to waste my money sorry about my wrong spelling pls tell me its true dont lie because the liar goes to hell
This peticular wand keeper is the best and most authentic. Seen him in person several times. He is an original from the old wand shop before diagonal alley and has been doing this for years. He's a great actor. I wish I knew his name or more about him. I hope he becomes a real hollywood actor as that is the ambition of most theme actors. His presence is a relaxing asmr too!
Bob Billings yeah I went there a year ago and this guy choosed my wand
He is f* amazing
I totally agree! He is definitely the best I've seen, better than the Scottish one
He is in hollywood he works for universal
@@brainysmurf74 he work on the orlando universal, not hollywood.
Yea he’s def the best from what I’ve seen!
I really like the wand keeper, he does a good job role playing.
Amazing acting. I feel like hes one of the professors from the film
I like the wand keeper to he’s a good actor and I love the beard and glasses it looks just like the rev from advenged sevenfold when he had a beard
I've seen the other guys in the shop... THIS ONE IS THE BEST>>. he gives you the best experience
That’s so cool . Was he nice to you ?
I'm leaving for Universal this Saturday and I'm so excited! My mom said I can get a wand as a souvenir and I'm so excited! She said I can also get stuff from the joke shop and stuff like that.
I could easily spend a grand in this place.
omg the asmr
Chroma Spark that’s why I come here. Lol
so strong. I love watching these for that reason
This dude got a personal wand fitting without a group
He’s also going in pretty late. It’s not really crowded like it is during the day
Late to the game, but I just did this last night. Legit got the chills when I was chosen. So much fun.
I did it yesterday and I was also chosen
Its crazy to think that these replica wands are about $50aud each, and they have thousands of them on shelves in that place for people to pick up and buy, and probably more out back in storage to stock shelves with at the end of the day.
They're actually interactive now, so u can use them in the park
@@rhiannanwebb5557 I was wondering this! I know they’ve got 2 Ollivanders in the park cus there’s one inside Hogsmeade too! I was curious if they switched all the wands during the sorting to the interactive ones as well, can you still buy regular ones or are they all interactive now?
If you don't get chosen, just Grindelwald the place.
Jesus
Makes sense
Give this man an Oscar for looking and acting the part.
This guy is really into his role, compared to the others.
it's awfully quiet in there was it just you and him or where there people in the room
I get goosebumps from this
I also got picked by the wand keeper and I also ended up getting a wand of willow with a unicorn hair core thumbs up

i'mfeelingsupersonic some people go multiple times just to get chosen and usually you get chosen if you go around 3 times
Every experince is different though. I haven't had the chance to go, but out of the videos I've seen, I think they typically pick children for a reason than adults. Not always the case, but probably because children believe in the "magic" more than adults.
Awww, I'm so sorry! My hope is that my brother doesn't get chosen because I'm going on my birthday as well. 😫
i'mfeelingsupersonic I actually hate my 6 yr old bro got piced

SOOO COOL!! Need to to this next time I visit!!
4:05 Wand of what?
Vine.
What is that white thing over the wandkeeper's shoulders? Some sort of shawl or something?
The wand chose me at Olivanders, it was amazing
Does he help blind wizards like me

i wish the wants were real wood :(
me to wish
that would be cool
i want a wand!
Did you get to keep the wand or did you have to buy it?
You have the option to purchase the wand at the end.
+Adam Efimoff They're usually $44.95.
Are they still doing this cuz id like to go through it myself if its still going

I god the wand of willow (same one) and the person said it had a core a dragon heart string
Looked like an amazing experience. Did you have to pay for the wand? And if yes, how much?
Yes $50
3:46 What did he say? " You're very _____." Is it curious?
Yep!
It’s HOW very curious
when you are chosen, does the actor playing ollivander give you a wand you could use for doing the spells around the two places to interact and how many types do you know?
My Name's Blurryface And Now I'm Stressed Out u can if it's one of the interactive wands
Deadly Soulz Senpai idk what you meant but all wands at olivanders are interactive and work in any wizarding world of harry potter around the world (:
Are these wands real
If you don't get picked, later, can you come back to try and get picked again?
Of course! You can view the show as many times as you'd like. - Tad, Undercover Tourist
how much that wand?
I got the same exact wand
So cool - Tad, Undercover Tourist
there was a blockout at universal one time not islands of adventure i was like universal has barley not enough rides it was islands of adventure tht didnt have tht much rides so we wanted to go to diagon alley but.... it was at universal and i got so mad
I would love to do this as a job
how much money is the wand
Isaiah Diaz Around $50
Me: Dad the wand picked me.
Dad: Not for $50.00. You're not a wizard Allen. Does it pay the bills?
Dear Tad I am going there in August and I have

I WAS CHOSEN AND IT WAS AMAZING! I think it helped that I had on my Gryffindor quiditch jersey and my Gryffindor pin... xD
How many are in a group and if you aren't chosen can you buy an interactive wand separately?
Sans Undertale when I got chosen, however there were around about 10 people. But it varies it's normally 5-30 I think (:
How much did the whole thing cost in the end
About $50
Can you buy the wands that you see if you don't get picked or do you just have to pick a character wand?
Scotty watts you can buy any WAND:)
3:14 kolega Ignacy XDDDD a polish youtuber looks just like him :D
They have to chose you? Oh man. And does it cost to be chosen or just for the wand. And how much is the wand? I would appreciate it if you would reply as I am going on Wednesday. Thanks!
You don't pay for the experience, and only one wizard will be chosen per group. The wands are $44.95. - Tad, Undercover Tourist

beyazıt adıgüzel THE probably are unique in some ways :)
No, they usually only sell the character wands, but they also have some non character wands.
