If you are anything like us, your coffee table is probably littered with remote controls. We have four that take up permanent residence on our little table, and it always seems to be the last one I pick up that I need.

For the last few weeks, I have been dazzling friends with the Kymera Magic Wand, a very cool gadget from The Wand Company. The Wand is designed to be used as a universal remote, where with a flick of the wrist and an ‘Expelliarmus’ you can turn devices on and off, their volume up and down and change channels. Aimed at a very specific market, the wand is a suitable replacement for the basic remote control, and if you’re a fan of the Harry Potter Universe like me the novelty does not wear off.

Oh my gosh, calling all geeks, it’s here!!! The Wand Company has produced a replica Communicator that connects via Bluetooth to enable a speakerphone, allowing you to use it just like they did on the show. This highly accurate replica looks amazing, produced from the first 3D structured light scans of the last known hero screen-used Communicator prop, it has a rotating moiré pattern, AB-coated iridescent jewels and has authentic voice clips arranged in sentence fragments for immersive experience, while also being a fully-functional handset.
