Unboxing Ollivanders And Alivan's Wands 1080p

So, a bit over a month ago as of the recording and uploading of this video I went to Universal Orlando for a day with family, and naturally we went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It was quite busy there, but before we left I decided to pick up a particular wand from Ollivanders Wand Shop. It's the wand of my favourite character, even if the wand itself isn't particularly to my taste in terms of design.

I also ordered a custom wand from Alivan's, a company that handcrafts custom wands, including Pottermore wands.

The wand that was chosen for me by Pottermore was: Alder wood, Unicorn Hair, 14.5", Unyielding.

The Wand: https://www.pottermore.com/wand/Alder...

Bit of an unusual mix, based on what I read on the site about wand lore. Alder wood is a bit more difficult to work with, but useful for wordless magic and thus has a reputation with being used by advanced witches and wizards. However the core of Unicorn Hair somewhat lacks in power, but is very reliable. It's a longer wand than average, though not quite at the point of being unusually so.

According to a little research, alder is a somewhat soft hardwood and moderately light. That would explain the wand's light weight, which was noticeably less than the resin based Ollivander wand.

Anyway, now I have more fandom related stuff to display I guess XD

'Spoiler' as to which witch wand I chose is below:
