Harry Potter Wands and luggage

[culbreeze]

Such a silly question! But, does anyone know if A Harry Potter Wand from Olivander's will be a problem to take home in our carry-on luggage? We travel lightly, so have no checked luggage. Would someone say it could be used as a weapon? If anyone's encountered this, please let me know! Or, I'm wondering if they will ship home or if I could mail home from our resort? I know they sell online, "but its not the same, Mom!" If we don't buy one AT Universal. UGH! Thanks! ***** 3 days and counting!!!*****

2 years ago we put it in our carry on, and nothing was said about it. I would not put my gifts in my check in bag. I can't see it as a weapon. It comes in a nice box, which I make my DD put it in when she does not play with it.

An expensive toy, but one my DD wanted and is her reminder.


Have a great time!

We took it in our carry ons no problem

Same here. No issues.

I did carry only the trip I bought mine. It wasn't a problem and never get even a second look from TSA.

Oh, one thing. Make sure you leave some room in that carry on. My first trip to the Harry Potter World I was not planning on buying anything, but got sucked in. I round up having to find room for the wand box (no way was I packing just the wand and leaving that box), a large pink pygmy puff, two tshirts, several postcards, and the four small dragons from the Goblet of Fire book (in their boxes so they didn't get broke). I was sure glad I pack light and can pack really tight or some of my clothes would have been staying behind.

You should be ok as long as you don't use "avada kedavra" on anyone on the plane.
