Harry Potter Magic Caster Wand Reviews

I have had nothing but issues with this product since its original purchase in 2022. I have reached out to support several times explaining that the application is an issue and does not connect the wand to my Hue smart bulbs. Their feedback was that the wand needed to be replaced. I wished I could make them understand that the wand never had an issue connecting to HarryPotterMagicCasterWand , it was that HarryPotterMagicCasterWand would not talk to Philips Hue. After many resets on multiple devices, multiple Reddit threads, and a year of updates, the wand still does not work and the support team behind this product has yet to understand HarryPotterMagicCasterWand is faulty and has many issues. The product has yet and most likely will never support the basic functions I purchased it for. Very disappointed at not only the product but the customer service behind it. Please do not purchase this device until they have resolved their terrible app.

When I first received it. Everything worked great. I hadn’t used it in a while so I charged it up and went to use it today. It was SUPER buggy. Even with the wand on the table it said I was gripping it. So I went to the troubleshoot. It said to delete HarryPotterMagicCasterWand and reinstall it… I did and it wiped all my hue lights. I’ve tried reconnecting them but all I get is “you didn’t press the bridge button”. The box won’t charge. Neither will the wand. And I’m using the original charging cable. There’s no where to reach out for support. They haven’t updated HarryPotterMagicCasterWand since shortly after it came out and they decided to discontinue the wands. This all seems like a giant cash grab and I’m extremely disappointed.

Cheaply made plastic wand, a beautiful idiot of an app that doesn’t connect to smart lights, which I purchased with a hub just because I got the wand for a gift and wanted to make full use of it.

The wand is connected and reads the lights but doesn’t do anything even though it connects to and operates speakers.

There is no customer we service help and I am considering demanding a refund. Excellent idea, poorly developed product. I hope you start thinking of AR and home applications to make the $150 worth it for my poor family member who bought a toy worth all of about 40 bucks.

I was having trouble with getting the wand to track correctly and after a bit of research found that you guys recommend an update to HarryPotterMagicCasterWand itself. So I checked and sure enough an update was available. Now not only is it not tracking movement properly but has become so horridly sensitive that I don’t have a hope of getting the product to function. I would hope to get some sort of substantive response but considering what I’ve read in other reviews I’ll just get some bot leaving some weak cutesy reply that says nothing and leaves me infuriated.

Had it in my hands for about six hours, and in the time I’ve yet to be able to get it to work. Only 3 of the 4 grip sensor indicators are noted as working, and nowhere on the wand can I touch to get all four lit. I’ve tried every variation of holding, reset it multiple times, and even tried it on three different phones (two iPhones and a Pixel 6A). At this point I’m guessing the grip sensors themselves are the problem, and this is backed by dozens of comments on Reddit of people with the same problem. If you’re reading these reviews to decide if you want to purchase a wand, then just… don’t. It’s cheap, broken, nonsense.

Developers of this terrible product need to take a hint. It's been said over and over by the countless people who bought this thing and all experienced the same issues. The product is just awful, it is cheap, unreliable, provides no utility, and completely misrepresented what everyone thought we were getting when we ordered this. The answer is simple, you must integrate actual smart home functions that provide real use or just be quiet and refund everyone's money for false advertising. No amount of suggestions, advice, or shameless boasting will ever make up for lying to everyone with the initial announcement.

My wand won’t work right.

It’s painful for me to hold (it has 4 grip sensors and you HAVE to hold it the way they expect or it won’t work). And mine seems to have a drift problem making it impossible to use.

I worked with their support for over a week to no avail.

The return window is 30 days from date of receipt, and due to the slowness of their responses (and their tendency to only try addressing 1 issue, ignoring the other), I finally gave up on support and requested a return.

After a full week they finally replied saying they needed me to send more info before they can start the return process.

I replied with that info and waited over 2 weeks with no response.

I emailed them again asking about my return and they replied that they can start a return but wanted to know why first (I had sent multiple support requests prior to this so THEY SHOULD ALREADY KNOW).

I explained BOTH problems, and clarified I was bothered they were making me repeat this, and they just replied AGAIN with the same steps their support had ALREADY given me, which again ignore one of my issues COMPLETELY).

THEY have to initiate the return process, and at this rate they are sandbagging me closer and closer to the end of 30 day return window.

The wand is absolutely gorgeous in the box and looks to be very cool; however, it works with about three devices literally. Initial pre-order info was a bit deceiving I think about that. It will not connect to my Bluetooth speaker but I'm going to keep trying a bit longer. The tutorials are lacking and there is literally no support and some of the tutorial videos are just seconds long. The wand is a bit touchy and a little tough to get just the right grip hold as it has to be held a very specific way. They say there will be more devices added later and I certainly hope so or I have just wasted a lot of money. I was so incredibly excited about this product and now it has fallen very short of expectations and I am just disappointed and sad...

I bought this wand because I thought I would be able to turn on and off many smart devices in my home. I even went ahead and got smart outlets in hope I can turn things like my Christmas tree on and off. But now I know it will only connect to two type of smart lightbulbs that I don’t even own. Now that I think about it this device doesn’t connect to WiFi so I guess maybe giving commands to the phone and the phone would have to turn smart devices on and off. Whatever the case maybe this needs a huge update.

i was so hyped about this whole thing until i held the wand (which i think is a big part of HarryPotterMagicCasterWand ). the box itself is great, but the wand is made of extremely light weight and poorly painted plastic. mine, honorable, isn’t glued completely in the middle so i can see the inside of it (not sure if all honorable have same problem or mine is just unlucky, either way i haven’t had any response from them) and the white swirls aren’t lined up completely. it felt cheap and not worth the $150. Please watch the reviews online, they all have the same feelings i had when i opened mine.

HarryPotterMagicCasterWand is the only reason (and than the box) why i gave it stars. if they can make it connect to my devices/brand, which is not compatible yet, i may give it another star. but no way i will rate this whole product higher than three!

Disappointed to say the least. Frustrating at best. We purchased this for our 10 yo including LIFX bulbs and while it recognizes the bulbs it will not pair them. As many have said HarryPotterMagicCasterWand needs work. Getting the calibration and connectivity (even to the few compatible devices) issues would be a huge plus and help HarryPotterMagicCasterWand and wand work as advertised. Hoping these bugs are fixed soon as our return window closes in just a couple weeks.

I love Harry Potter, thought this was super cool and preordered gave it over a year to get its “supposed” updates. Never seen anyone be able to get it to connect to Hue lights. Now, don’t get me wrong they are connected in HarryPotterMagicCasterWand but don’t do anything. I thought I was going to be able to do spells and change my lights but in the year and a half I’ve owned it…no luck. Everyone on Reddit has had the same issue. 🤷‍♀️ 3 stars for cool box and fun spells, would’ve gotten five if all the features worked

I love this wand. Got it for Christmas and couldn’t put it down. Mastered the spells in like 5 mins. Had to wait I don’t remember how many weeks for the next update, again, got the spells mastered and done in 5 mins as well.

One of my main issues trying to master Lumos Maxima. It took me and my mom like 100 tries to do so, until we finally “mastered it”

Another one of my issues is the lack of adding new spells. I would check like every other week-month and no new spells. It’s kinda making me loose interest, I’ll still play with it though.

One more note, maybe add more movie clips to play for the spells. Like Arania Exumei for example or other clips that the spell was in. I love what you’ve done so far.

Keep making great content and BRING MORE SPELLS OUT SOON! I’m getting tired of waiting!

I love the wand, have been very happy with it. However, I’m disappointed that no more spells have been added other than what we have now. I’d like to see all the other spells from the series added, such as the snake summoning spell, other transfiguration spells, if be happy if even the unforgivable curses were added. I just want to see more done with HarryPotterMagicCasterWand. Disappointed more isn’t done with the magic caster wand

My husband purchased this wand as an early wedding gift and months later we still can’t get it to connect to the lights. HarryPotterMagicCasterWand think my Phillips Hue Bridge is not setup but it is and works great.
I love learning the spells but I wish it would work with my lights. It would be great if they had tutorial videos to help ensure I set up everything correctly. I purchased the expensive bridge for my wand and it still won’t work.

I honestly love the wand. I use it quite a few times. HarryPotterMagicCasterWand it self works well. When you select a spell it shows you more information of the spell, when it was used in the movie, and even the pronunciation of the incantation. When you preform the spell it shows an animation and a plays an audio. The issue with the audio is that most of them cut off at the end rather than fading. Another issue is when you go back to the spell list and perform any spell, the audio is shortened and won’t give the full of effect of the spell. I would love to have the full audio effect even when in the spell list section of HarryPotterMagicCasterWand . I know this is minor but it would help create the magic.

I compare the wand that you buy for HarryPotterMagicCasterWand to the extendable lightsaber toys from star wars. It’s a lot of fun as a novelty item. Kids will love it even without any of the smart device support. I wish there was more utility since communicating with a few smart devices around the home has already been implemented. The wand costs $150 dollars. Please allow me to cast alohamora so that I can unlock my front door with my smart lock! I want to be able to cast protego to arm my home’s security system. Implement IFTTT! Home Assistant! Release an api! Something!

Decided to download HarryPotterMagicCasterWand a little early while I wait for my wand to ship and I was impressed. I love HarryPotterMagicCasterWand so far! It already has so many different spells to learn and they plan to add more. The artwork for each spell is really cool and it brings back classic scenes from the movies which adds a nice touch. My only critique would be that it needs more supportable devices because the current list is very limited but I know they plan on rolling out more over time so at least they’ve addressed it! Great app so far!

I’m so happy with my wand. The sensor is sensitive, but I didn’t find it too hard to figure out. It casts correctly every time!! I hope in the future HarryPotterMagicCasterWand might develop some minigames to play with the wand, like practicing spells or playing interactive games where you have to produce a patronus or break into a locked vault. Something where you have to use your knowledge of spells to win. For right now, I’ll walk around my dark apartment and cast lumos.

I haven’t connected it to hue lights yet, but seeing others reviews apparently it only makes a little light show. I was hoping to be able to turn lights on and off with it, so hopefully that is something developers take into consideration and make possible!

The wand is absolutely awesome i’ve had trouble doing the spells but everyone has their ups and downs. HarryPotterMagicCasterWand has so many spells but in the past 2 weeks i did every single one lol. it will be cool to add some mini games with the wand to practice spells or go to classes and learn new spells. just one problem, more spells!!! we need them but beside that all harry potter fans should have this wand
