Post Harry Potter interactive spells wands, 'Fantastic Beasts' Niffler game coming soon

JAKKS Pacific and Warner Bros. will be debuting a new set of interactive wands, all of which can be used to "cast" spells using motion detectors and track movements. The first wands, as shown below, are those replicated from those owned by Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore, and Lord Voldemort in the film series.

Additionally, JAKKS will release a Niffler Challenge Game, inspired by Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, that will include two wands, a purse and metal coins through which a 'Niffler' would steal and wizards would try to save - similar to the bank scene in the first of Newt Scamander's story from J.K. Rowling.


JAKKS Pacific, leading U.S. toymaker (NASDAQ:JAKK), partners with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to bring innovation and interactive play to the toy aisle, allowing kids to bring their favorite Wizarding World stories to life.

This month at New York Toy Fair, JAKKS Pacific and Warner Bros. Consumer Products will reveal new technologically-enhanced Wands in the Harry Potter Wizard Training Wand collection, as well as an assortment of Die-Cast Wands inspired by fan-favorite characters. Additionally, the Wizarding WorldTM toy line will also include the new Niffler Challenge Game inspired by Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

With 11 different spells to learn and master, kids can now train like a wizard with the Harry Potter Wizard Training Wands. Using active motion sensors, these wands track movement throughout five different modes of play, allowing for endless spell casting alone or with friends. The Wizard Training wands assortment includes Harry Potter’s Wand, Albus Dumbledore’s Wand, and Lord Voldemort’s Wand; each sold separately for $24.99.

Kids can also collect die-cast replica wands from some of their favorite Harry Potter characters. With a variety of 12 different styles, for only $4.99 kids can master the wizardry of Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter himself, and many more. Each wand stands 4-inches high and includes a special stand for display purposes. And in the spirit of Wizarding World magic, each wand is sold in a blind mystery box allowing the wand to choose its wizard!

JAKKS Pacific also introduces the Niffler Challenge Game, inspired by Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This two-player game allows each player to load up the Niffler with jewelry and coins until they spill onto the cases; the first player to spill the contents wins. For the first time the adorable, mischievous Niffler has its own game. The game includes one Niffler on a rocking base, two wands, 64 coins and necklace pieces – available for $19.99 this Fall.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Jakks Pacific to bring innovative technology and interactive play to the toy aisle and fans of the Wizarding World,” said Julian Montoya, Senior Vice President,Global Toys for WBCP. “This new collection of interactive wands, along with the fun collectible wands and Niffler game, will excite Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts fans and inspire creative storytelling to extend their favorite moments from the books and films.”
The wands will be unveiled to the public at this weekend's Toy Fair, which SnitchSeeker will be covering live across all social media. Keep an eye out for exclusives and tidbits there.
