In an attempt to tie two eras of J.K. Rowling's Wizarding world with
Harry Potter to
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Eddie Redmayne was interviewed recently, where he was told that Daniel Radcliffe had some not-so-nice things to say about Newt Scamander's wand, especially compared to Harry's in the film series.
Quote:
I have to bring out the wand now. This is the Newt Scamander wand. But I will tell you, we gave to Daniel Radcliffe recently.
Katherine Waterston: [gasps]
Eddie Redmayne: Right...
He didn't like the wand...
Eddie Redmayne: NOOOO!!
How did this compare to your wand?
Daniel Radcliffe: Ha, what a question! This seems a little bit smoother. I don't know what I feel about this silver bit at the end.
Katherine: Obviously he's jealous!
Eddie: No, that's heartbreaking! Dan, I'm literally heartbroken! Well, yeah, he did have a great wand. I kind of love my wand for my own specific reasons. It's made of shell, and Mother of Pearl.
He didn't know what the metal, shiny bit was -
Eddie: Did he think it was a bit ostentatious?
Dan: Yeah, I prefer mine. Mine was sort of more rough-hewn from a tree. What is it, Ikea?!
Eddie: All right, Dan, it's Mother of Pearl. It's nothing too sparkly. We're not getting all bling. It's made of wood, it's got a few marks on it, from use and the wild.
Wednesday, November 16th also marks the 15th anniversary of the release of the first movie in the entirety of the Wizarding World, with 2001's
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, starring Dan, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as the heroes of the series, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger!
