The Noble Collection The Harry Potter Remote Control Wand

Cool product. Programing is challenging and miss fires every now and then. start with the best batteries avaliable( lithium) because according to Rufuss the remote will need to be reprogrammed when the batteries need to be replaced.After more practice with the wand the easier and better it gets. Wishing there were more styles to choose from to one in every room

Super fun for that Harry Potter lover is works really well just a little challenging to program but once it starts working, it works great. I highly recommend it. The quality is great for the price. You are definitely getting what you paid for.

It's a little finnicky when first setting up; I had to program the same command two or three times before some of them would really work on my TV. Once it does though, it feels fairly natural to use. I've got a TV that's only hooked up to my Bluray player, so the commands are all the useful ones for me. Over-the-top swing turns on the power. downward flick is play, upward is pause. Forward motion is select, and backward is eject (feels like I'm pulling out the tray with a magic tether). Right flick is fast-forward, left is reverse. Rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise seems like it was meant for volume, especially because it tends to log multiple action pretty quickly the more you turn it. Overall, it's a lot of fun to use, and while I wish there was a couple more actions to do more with my Bluray player, I think it does very well as it is (and I understand that controls would be a lot harder to map if there were more motions). I'd say get it if you're a real Harry Potter fan with a bit of extra cash and want a remote that you don't need to use many controls with.

OMG I tried for HOURS to get this to program. I googled it, YouTubed it, researched it. I searched for Harry Potter wand vs direct tv, genie remote. Seriously. THEN I FOUND THE ANSWER!!! If you have direct tv, or any kind of Radio Frequency (RF) remote - IT WILL NOT WORK! oh no! BUT - at least as far as direct tv's remote - you can change its program to Infrared (IF) through the menu and settings on the tv. It tells you how to do it on the screen. Once I did that the longest part was deciding what command I wanted for what gesture. God I wish someone else had written this down. Would have saved me literally 4-5 hours. Now it works great and can't wait for my son to open it on Christmas Day. Thank God we decided to program it prior to giving it to him!!! Would have given it 5 starts but it needs to be made more clear about the IF necessity for the remote control.

Honestly am thinking about returning it. It’s cool but not worth the money. It’s fairly big, has a decent weight and the light works but…. It looks like it’s coming from the actual noble store but I reached out to them because the key is missing to change the battery and after 10 emails back and forth finally realized that it’s from some random seller! They make it look like it’s the company but it’s not, just a heads up.

First off, I get that at first, it may seem complicated to set this wand up, but once you figure out how to get it into "program mode" everything else is a breeze.You MUST have a remote/device that uses IR (infrared technology). This means that any device that has a remote, in order for the buttons to do whatever you want (volume up, change scene, etc) you would have to make sure to point the device's remote, somewhat in the direction of the device.If you don't have to point the remote to the device, like with the Amazon Firestick....that device uses RF (radio frequency).In short, this will not work with a Firestick which is what I kinda wanted it for (it was a gift to my girlfriend).Luckily!!!!.....we also have ROKU. This definitely uses IR and let me tell you that this wand does exactly what it is supposed to.It has 9 movements to program (turn left, turn right, push forward, pull back, swipe up, swipe down, swipe left, swipe right, and a big swish).We setup all 9 and we can navigate magically through ROKU now!!! We also set it up to raise and lower the volume of our sound bar.Seriously, the BEST GIFT for Harry Potter fans. I just can't with this and my girlfriend is in awe with it. It's sooooo cool!!!!I will say it was a little confusing at first but again, if you settle your nerves and truly focus on what/how you are supposed to set it up, it'll be 1000000% worth it! Be patient and be rewarded with having the coolest remote in town!

I recently purchased the “Harry Potter wand” TV control remote from Amazon, and unfortunately, my experience has been far from magical. Despite its charming appearance, the functionality of this remote leaves much to be desired.First and foremost, the installation process was unnecessarily complicated. Unlike traditional remotes that are ready to use out of the box, this one required tedious setup that took far too long.Additionally, while the design is whimsical and nostalgic for fans of the Harry Potter series, it sacrifices practicality for novelty. The lack of essential functions commonly found on standard remotes is a major drawback. Simple tasks such as adjusting volume or accessing specific channels are surprisingly difficult, if not impossible, with this remote.Overall, I regret this purchase and would not recommend the “Harry Potter wand” TV control remote to others. It’s a prime example of style over substance, and the novelty wears off quickly when you realize its limitations outweigh its charm.
