I think it is uber cool that JK herself may have had a hand in the wand bible, but to spend that much cash on a wand is, in my humble opinion, ridiculous...I could just see a wand lying around on the coffee table or the book shelf and never getting picked up again...once the trick that it does gets old. That said, i imagine there will be all sorts of goodies to spend money on that wont get lost in my house!
