Universal Translator – Interactive Wand

Walk into a Universal theme park and you will find hundreds of guests roaming the park with wands from the Harry Potter series. What are these wands? What do they do? Where can I buy one? All this and more in this week’s Universal Translator.

Interactive Wands are collectible objects sold at Universal Orlando that can cast “magic spells” around the Wizarding World of Harry Potter lands. Of course, these spells activate practical effects around the lands, with the magic being an IR camera that detects the wand’s motion. Wands come as character replicas or new designs for the theme parks and are priced at $65 plus tax. Each wand comes with a folding map that lists spell marker locations, we suggest saving this as a souvenir and referring to an online map instead.

Translation complete. Stay tuned next week for another edition of Universal Translator!
