Behind the scenes

  • In the novels, films and games, Ollivander's Wand Shop was located on the Diagon Alley. But, in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter it was located in Hogsmeade.
  • In a conference call[1] on January 28, 2010 with Thierry Coup, vice president of creative development for Universal Creative. Many details were revealed:
    • The shop is about 30 feet high.
    • Potter film set designer Stuart Craig will be creating some of the wands, approved by J. K. Rowling,
    • There will be a wand fitting, and if it doesn't work out, there will be interesting effects, including flowers wilting and lightning and thunder outside the windows of the shop itself, very similar in what we've seen in the first movie.
    • If the right wand does choose you, more effects will occur, such as the lamp lighting up, and you will have the option to buy it or not.
    • There are 13 different types of wand wood for the choosing, which are unique to the shop, and visitors' wood type will be determined according to their birthdate on the Celtic calendar; children will have their own special wands, too, through a 'build-a-wand' feature.
    • The wand choosing process can take anywhere from two to five minutes at least to much more. Pricing range has not been determined; the wand choosing itself won't be charged, just the wand itself.
    • There will be wands from some of the main characters wands - hero wands - including in sets, which are made by Noble Collection; this is different to the personal wands that will be chosen for 'wizard' guests to the park.
    • There are numerious things that can go wrong if you have the incorrect wand. They are listed as: Numerious bells go off in the shop, a vase of flowers wilt, a storm is created, several shelves fall apart, the drawers behind a ladder try to "escape", or the wand refuses to work and nothing happens.
