Additionally, new rumours have surfaced about the Ollivanders wand shop staff receiving a book of wand history and information, straight from J.K. Rowling.

We’ve also heard quite a bit about Olivander’s Wand Shop. I’m told that over 20 actors have been hired to act as the shop keepers, and have been told that they will be given a “wand bible” written up by JK Rowling to memorize, detailing the names and descriptions of around 400 different wands.

As for the price range and specialisations for each of the wands:

Quote:

I’ve been told that the various wands up for sale will range in price from $25 up to $150 per wand. Apparently the more expensive your wand… the more things it will actually be able to do. For example, some wands are rumored to have a light up tip if activated the right way. Other wands are rumored to have uses beyond the park, possibly being Bluetooth enabled or allowing for you to plug them into your PC and download some special functions into them from the internet. If true, one such wand is said to work as a TV remote control.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open in May 2010.

Awesome pics!!!Ahh i want to go so bad!!!!!!

That sounds freakin AWESOME!!!!:woot:

just magnificent!!! too bad it's too far...... :(

Amazing!!!!!! I want to go badly!!

Looking soo good! *wants to know more about that wand book*

I want a wand tv remote lol

Who wouldn't want a wand tv remote I know i do want it

*fan girl squeal*

How exciting... I probably won't pay for one of the fancy wands. A normal wood one is good for me :) But, I'd like to get my hands on one of those wand bibles... I've always said that if I was in the wizarding world, wand lore is what I'd want to study.

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!

Wow... that looks amazing!

Wow! Those wands sound amazing. That would be so much cooler than a TV remote x :D

I want to go so bad. I am trying to convince my parents that my senior trip next spring should be to Orlando, to go to the Theme Park!!! It looks so amazing!!! I am soo excited!!!

OMG!!! This place is going to be so amazing!! The amount of detail is insane! I can't wait to go!!! I love everything that I've seen so far! I wish I could work there so bad!! I would love to remember a wand bible! I'm so jealous. :(

Wow! Great pics! It all looks so interesting! I love the detail they have added to try and make it look like the buildings Jo described in the books. It's brilliant! Can't wait for it to open!

OMG I Love these pictures!! Can not wait! Anyone know the realease date? besides sometime in spring?

Sweet. So now I have to save up for one of these sweet wands!
