Sometime Noble will push back their shipping times, yes, even for Christmas So check their site I have yet to buy an of the wands but I'll let you know when I do

I got Noble Collections Snape's wand.  I love it!!  It is not real wood, but it is heavy and nice. And they make a nice stand you can buy (which we also got) that is really nice.  I like it. The only dissapointment is that their CoA doesn't bother to state what wand it is. No big deal.

I also got the Japanese version of Hermiones Time-Turner I love it! Anyone know the difference between theirs and Noble Collections though?  The only thing I could see was that the spell is engraved on the Japanese one, and written in black on the Noble collection one. Looks like the sand maybe brown for Noble and white for the Japanese one.  But from reading this post, it looking like the Japanese products may be made better?  Is that how I take it?

And last, I got, from Hot Topic (I also got two t-shirts from there ), Harry Potters jacket!  It is a hoody, says Potter on the back, and looks like his first task robe, just a jacket.  It is the coolest jacket I own

Not Specifically GOF but really wanted to tell you guys about it. One of my xmas pressies was a HP pop up book which is great I love it

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I have the SS pop-up book

[Morningangel-Iola]

This one is PS-GOF

For those still debating wether to get the Noble ones based on a small metal rod inserted into the wand (Noble doesnt put one in their wands) I have found that the ones fron Japan do have a metal rod (picture is of a magnet not something glued or taped on the wand )

Very clever    At first though I thought it was a new bit they had added to clip the wand onto your belt 

[kbmum]

Did anyone see that the Noble Collection now has a Sirius wand?  I'm not sure how they could have one, since the character doesn't have a wand in either POA or GOF (he used Snape's wand in the Shrieking Shack scene).

Maybe since they got the license to manufacture these replicas they were able to produce the wand two years before we see it. I think this is a replica of the one he will use in OotP but I could be wrong

Thats why I stated in the post that it wasn't glued or taped to the wall but was a magnet. Thought the same thing when I saw it too

Yeah I thought this was odd and mentioned it before. Unless its what his wand looked like before he was sent to azkaban and therefore it was probably broken.

[Sharon]

Or they are just cashing in for every penny they can claw from the poor collector 

OK cynical moment over.  Have they done a Lily wand?  I always wondered what happened to Lily and James' wands, after all Neville has Franks wand.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I like Sirius's wand but I'm not going to buy it unless its off the real wand in the movie.

I would defently not buy Lily or James's wand because will never get to see those....wait....wasnt there a scene in OotP where James did something to Snape with magic

[Nienna]

Maybe Hagrid has them tucked away in his hut somewhere!

Yeah - the scene Harry sees in Dumbly's pensieve of Snape hanging upside down and his infamous grey undies!!

[Sharon]

Maybe Hagrid has them tucked away in his hut somewhere!  

The mind boggles  

We saw Lily's wand in the same scene when she points it at James.

[Nienna]

Yes you see Lily's wand in that scene too ...

The only reason I mentioned Hagrid as a possible person to have either/both those wands was because he plainly states that he got to Godric's Hollow to rescue Harry before the muggle police could descend on the place - I can't remember if he arrived before, at the same time or after Sirius did but it doesn't seem that strange for Hagrid to be the person to take the wands.
I doubt DD would let Hagrid keep anything so powerful in his possession for very long though, otherwise he would still be using them in his pink brolly instead of his own snapped wand wouldn't he?
Knowing Hagrid he's probably using them as stakes for some fragile plant or other in his care!

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I think Sirius had them because they were trusted friends. I dont remember Hagrid begin friends with ether James or Lily

[Nienna]

Well then - where are they now?
Surely they would have come across them at Grimmauld Place if Sirius had taken them there and nothing has been mentioned about them so far.
I'm fairly sure Sirius would have either given them to Harry ASAP or left them for him in his will ...

[EmmasOneandOnly]

He left EVERYTHING to Harry. I don't remember Harry ever reading everything on the will....did he even read it. No, I think he didn't. Anyways. Maybe when Harry goes back in book 7 hill find them or something. What if Harry already knows. If Sirius really did die then that would be considered a secret so Harry would know

[Blash]

I got Hermione's wand fomr NOble al while ago and was about to break but i can see a metal rod inside it so maybe noble puts a metel rod in some of theirs becauce I got Harry's wand at the same time and it snapped clean in half (Igot a  new mattris for christmas and when i was helping my dad bring it in, I put the mattris on top of it  ) Anyway Harry's didnt have a rod???
Basically my question is that are the japenese better??? If so where can i get them
Thanks for your help!!
P.S I got Sirius's wand for Christmas and it's really cool.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I knew Hermione had a rod, but Japans ALL have metal rods in theirs. Hermione does because of the 15 inch length. Nicole (ArwenEvenstar) bought Cedric's, Fleur's, and Viktors so maybe you can ask her I'd like to know about Cedric's because Noble doesn't offer it by itself.
