TECH BYTE: New Harry Potter Wand Makes High-Tech Magic

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you know that the word “Muggle” means you don’t have any magical ability.

But a new high-tech wand is about to change that.

Fans can trade in their “Muggle” title and become witches and wizards themselves with the new Harry Potter: Magic Caster Wand.

And no, it’s not just for kids. It’s for the young at heart too.

It’s no ordinary wand.

You use it to bring the imaginary spells you read about in the books and watch in the movies to life.

The wand pairs with your smartphone and can interact with compatible smart home devices – from smart TVs and light bulbs to most Bluetooth speakers.

Just download the free corresponding app, which works on iOS and Android devices.

With it, you’ll be able to learn and master more than 50 spells – including Lumos, and Expelliarmus – and that spell library will continue to be updated.

The spells are motion activated.

The app also lets you select your Hogwarts house, Patronus, and wand traits.

You can even dual with friends who also have Magic Caster Wands.

There are three different wands to choose from – Honourable, Loyal, and Defiant.

Usually the wand chooses the wizard, but you can choose the one you want this time.

Each wand will cost you about $150.

You can get them at official Harry Potter stores, and online here.
