me too i really like that he acknowledges that they're still decent, especially for people that dont have $50 to spend on time turners/wands/and other noble collection items. some people dont have the budget but still would love to own something that looks like an original
I like how you are staying positive to mostly everything from wish. There are so many people that can't afford authentic stuff since it's so expensive so wish is a good option. And seeing you; which has a lot of authentic stuff and can afford buying it; still staying positive to wish stuff is great :D I have the Marauders map from noble collection, so my first thought when I saw the one from wish was: oh, that's so small. But it's very cute either way and looks good too :)
The previous video shows items of really poor quality. The items from this video were SO much higher in quality I was so impressed! It's so true though. Not everyone can afford the authorized items so this is a wonderful alternative.
It just cracks me up how some collectors just throw around the words "real" vs "fake". None of the Noble Collection wands are made of real wood, so the argument could be made that they are technically fake too. lol. Both NC and many other brands are made of resin with a metal core the same way. Noble Collection wands are made in China in the same factories as other brands. Many other brands are licensed in some way to probably the same manufacturing factories; they are just distributed differently throughout the world for different markets and price points. Some collector snobs think only a Noble Collection branded wand is real and all others fake and that is NOT TRUE. Although The Noble Collection is definitely high quality and better made than most, that doesn't make other brands or distributors fake; just different. It's a matter of preference. There's not only one true and all powerful official source. lol. NC has a good reputation for making quality replicas but they are not the only licensed company to make replicas of wands and they don't even produce all the wands from characters that are available either. Only ignorant collector snobs would stick to only NC items when there is so much more out there of great quality and authenticity too; even if wish's reputation is to sell some actual fake items. Obviously, if you prefer the Noble Collection brand (understandably so) then it's all good, but to say any other brand or distributor is fake and not official or authentic is just flat out wrong. Are there fake or counterfeit wands? Yes, of course, but that isn't all non Noble Collection branded brands. It's a matter of preference and just because one may be made slightly better quality than another doesn't make it real vs fake.
@@MarcGardner When I see collectors saying "Real Vs Fake", it always brings to mind "Officially licensed vs not licensed", not necessarily the quality of the wand itself. From what I understand WB is kinda stingy with handing out their trademark. But I think that there are super beautiful non licensed stuff out that that deserves a look- I've only ever had non- licensed wands, and I think they're gorgeous. Just trying to give another opinion. :)
So, turns out, my Hermione wand that I got at a comiccon is fake, and my Voldermort wand that I got in a mystery thing, in a toy store is real, I’m kind of really mad😅
That is not right. I remember someone getting the Lucius’s snake attachment to their wand at a comic con and it was legit. Really comes to show that you never know what to get with a vendor.
@@missimperfectlyfine7 it really does! I paid 35 or 45 can’t remember, it’s not stupidly high, but not low either! It sucks. I mean, my mystery wand is a real one and I got it at a toy store, but not the one I got at ComicCon, I’m a little sad over it😂
I like how you consider all aspect of the item. Cheap doesn't always mean better. Sometimes it does. I'm just glad there are so many items worldwide for our collections. Just imagine how diverse! I'd love to see a collage of everyone's collections.
My mommy bought me a ron weasley action figure because of that i decided to watch some harry potter merch here in yt and i saw your youtube channel just wanted to say you are so cool a great potterhead and a youtuber when im watching your videos it brings back the days i really like harry potter when i was younger and my potterhead phase is coming back one of the reasons why i buy the elder wand is you it makes me want to buy hp merches again watching your videos the wand is coming tomorrow so yeah i just wanted to share
I'm glad you mentioned ornaments. I actually buy Wish necklaces & keychains for that very thing. The Ravenclaw diadem necklace makes a terrific Christmas tree ornament. Great, informative video, as always.
thank you peter for not shaming those who buy the fake stuff from wish (and also for giving generous credit to the items that maybe aren't great but could still work well for cosplay etc) bcs not everyone can afford the real / authorized ones !!
Most of the items you've showcased are pretty good options for those fans who cannot afford the officially licensed ones. Awesome alternative to own something special! 👍 Also, for cosplaying purposes and/or other events, these replicas are ideal 😁 Thanks for sharing, Peter!
For sure! Just because someone cannot afford to collect licensed items that does not make them any less a Harry Potter fan or collector. I was SUPER impressed with those wands marked "high quality" on Wish.
I have known for a long time that the wand is from Noble Collection smooth, especially since I know how to distinguish a fake wand from a Noble Collection wand
The picture of the item showed a pretty pale blush pink and rose resin cast/shaped/sculpted ring with a small gecko (crusted with bright green czs) on the side. I received some kind of a huge pink and white blob (that looked like a pink cinnamon bun) w/a bunch of dull and pale green cz glued on the side. Fortunately, I was able to get all of my money back from WISH.
The fake slytherin locket actually looks so cool. I love the green resin case and green is my fav colour. The real locket is cool but for some reason I prefer the fake and it comes in a cool case not from wish, I asked my dad for the fake locket but it's from a different shopping app and it comes with a cool case. Alot of wish props I actually prefer but there's more authentic I prefer For example Fake props I prefer: Locket Time Turner Deathly hallows symbol Philosphers stone necklace Real props I prefer Elder wand Snapes wand Lucius wand Ravenclaw diadem The gringos coins
This was actually so useful for me too cause I ordered some Harry Potter stuff off wish too and wasn’t sure what to expect! Thanks Peter! Love your channel.😃
The Noble Collection Illuminating wands lights up at a flick of the wrist, and it stays on until you "swish and flick" it again. There is a button on the wand, but it brightens and dims the light. So fake light-up wand, you just press a button. On the Noble Collection light-up wand, you "swish and flick" to turn on and off.
I bought Luna’s original wand on wish because the only way you can get it from noble collection was in the DA set which I couldn’t afford. It’s beautiful and I’m so happy I have my favorite wand now!
@@lazyhomebody1356 Luna had two wands, and Noble collection sells her second one which is dark brown and looks like a flower on the end. Her first wand is pale and has little drawings inscribed upon it.
Not everyone can afford licensed products so its nice to see a serious collector trying to put a good spin on them when you can. I also like that you mention that you get what you pay for as a warning. I I've bought several wish or cheap ebay items (mostly necklaces) to use to make ornaments decorate a Christmas tree. I also like you mention the wish object may be good for cosplay--I'd be afraid to take some of the Nobel collection out and about as I'd be afraid of losing them or damaging them.
Thanks for your "real vs fake" videos! I recently decided to purchase my first Harry Potter wand (I chose professor Snape's wand) and there was no other option than Noble Collection. I saved some money and decided to get the more expensive one in Ollivander's box and I am so glad I bought it. The box is so beautiful and the wand itself is gorgeous. I have to say your videos helped me a lot with my decision, the fake wand would just leave me disappointed. Thanks for your content, I really would like to see more of videos like this 🙂
8:02 I actually got a Diadem necklace from wish and uhm....it already came with a broken lace,so i couldn't even use that. When i found a lace, I wore it every day for a week, and on the 7th day the dangling gems broke off the necklace.. I never knew how it happened, and i couldn't even glue it back.i'm stil using it, though it does not feel that magical as it had
usually its hard to beat noble collection but when it comes to Tom Riddle's diary, the cheaper versions from ebay are more realistic. 1st) It has publisher name on the first page (Winstansley) 2nd) Diary from the movies have engraved name like cheap version, while NC has a tag with the name pasted 3rd) NC version even looks more expensive but do recall Tom was poor and its safe to assume his diary was really cheap + with the cheaper item you can smudge it, stain it, put it in an oven and make it more to the true look from the movie while I wouldn't do that on NC version.
Though wish can be a good option, I have had multiple bad cases where the product came Broken or looked absolutely nothing like what I saw. I would rather stick to my other option. I have a bit of an unfair advantage to other people because I live in Kissimmee Florida, and my dad works in hogsmead. So we get to go a few times a year and every time I go I scrounge up about 20 dollars from all of my resources and I can usually get something very small to add to my collection. But when you go around 4 times a year that's a great advantage and a good way to make a collection. Very recently my mom got her taxis and we had just enough left over to be able to get me a Gryffindor house robe. I am almost done with my full costume. The only thing I am missing is a Gryffindor tie. I made one out of a red pillowcase, some gold paint that I made myself, some super glue, and a clip. But I am going to have to wait till next year to go to universal to get a tie because we don't have much money at all. But untill then I'm still collecting. Thx Peter for making my life so much. Better with your charming smile.
Last time I ordered the wands of Hermione,Ginny, Queenie, and Luna's first wand on wish and they look super close to the noble wands. And those wands are very durable actually.
So about the robes, they are sized in Asian size which is much smaller than US or European size, so for an example, you wear a medium it will be a Large in Asian size, always order one size larger than actual.
Really surprised with the wands! Specially with Nicholas Flamel’s one! I have bought a few thing in with that were disappointing but also others of really good quality 😊
I bought some things from wish in the past but now I much preffer joom instead of wish, with wish it takes at least 2 months or more for the items to arrive and the transport cost is too high for this. With joom the same items are a little bit expensive but the transport is free and including the original cost for the item and the transport it is cheaper from joom and the time to arrive is more faster, in 2 or 3 weeks will arrive and the location is also China (sorry for my English, it's not very good).
Omg this is the best Chanel I love all your videos so much! I have one question tough what’s you favorite Harry Potter is character? Mine is Severus Snape
Much better and fair comparisons this time. The clothing especially is generally sized WAY smaller than one would expect. Wish definitely is hit or miss and definitely has fake items but again, NOT all non Noble Collection branded brands mean they are fake. I do like that you said "and other authorized dealers" though. There are many brands other than Noble Collection that are authorized and licensed from Warner Brothers to sell quality wands and other HP merch. :) Noble Collection may be generally better quality but it's more of a preference than a true "real" vs "fake". None of the Noble Collection wands are made of real wood, so the argument could be made that they are technically fake too. lol. Both NC and many other brands are made of resin with a metal core the same way. Noble Collection wands are made in China in the same factories as other brands. Many other brands are licensed in some way to probably the same manufacturing factories; they are just distributed differently throughout the world for different markets and price points AND not all of other actual licensed and authorized brands and dealers have a stamp on the wand either so that's not necessarily a definitive sign it's "real" either. Again, it's a matter of preference in many cases. There's not only one true and all powerful definitive official source for "real" vs "fake". lol. Another point to remember too is that although NC has a good reputation for making quality replicas, they don't even produce all the wands from characters that are available either. There is so much more out there of great quality and authenticity too; even if wish's reputation is to sell some actual fake items. Obviously, if you prefer the Noble Collection brand (understandably so) then it's all good, but again, to say any other brand or distributor other than Noble Collection is fake and not official or authentic is just flat out wrong. Even the Noble Collection themselves has changed the color and shading of some of the character's wands on different year releases (Hermione being one) and that didn't make any previous years any less "authentic" or "accurate" did it? Thanks for being a little more researched this time though. :)
Nice video! Some really good products to wear/cosplay with. Because I don’t want to wear my noble items. But also some realy bad items. I have the same chocolate frog keychain, I bought it a few years ago from aliexpress for 3-4 euro. I still really like it but 10 dollars is a bit to much for it.
Why they so similar tho- We love you keep up the great content! Or I will take you to the Chamber Of Secrets 😌😎🐍 Sorry I am Turkish I couldn't find a good joke 🤗
I love that you are not throwing wish items from the cliff because they are fake. I've bought countless time from wish and I am satisfied with the items. You just have to think critically when you order. I had no problems and got exactly the items I've paid for.
love this video, really cool to see the differences and similarities between these products. i think would always opt for noble collection though. BTW love your impression of shape, always makes me smile, it's the best 😁
My brother got the WISH Ravenclaw diadem but from Amazon, It cost £11 shipped I believe. It was identical to the one that you bought and even the same packaging.
I've gotten the ravenclaw diadem tiara necklace and the chocolate frog card only , Fantastic beast charm bracelet and their cute sticker Pack, Sorting hat keychain, a face mask, platform 9 3/4 necklace, DA necklace, Luna Lovegood spectrespecs earrings, 3 hufflepuff necklaces, hufflepuff cushion case and Newt's scarf . They where all good . And yes all from wish 🥰
I have a fake Hermione wand, and it is very similar to the authentic, but after a year of having it, it began to break, the same happened to my brother with the Harry Potter fake wand.
I am your crazy and your trustable fan. Its like I want all your collections and You are my favourite youtube. I would like to meet you. My name is bhavesh .You are a positive person and a good person.
I feel like Voldemort and the second dumbledore missed the mark with their characters. Voldemort was usually very calm and passionate with a cold sneer to his voice idk what that dude was going for but that’s not it. Dumbledore only lost his composure once in HBP in ever other book he spoke calmly and gently and as if he had every answer to any question
I do own all my wands from Ali express because I tend to use them more for photos and cosplays and appart from a Snape one I have all of the mare from such amazing quality
I would love Hermione items, such as her Yule Ball Earrings and a necklace she wears with red gem stones. Theyre very expensive from Noble, but ridiculously cheap from Wish.
Love your videos but why are u so focused on then using ravens instead of eagles for ravenclaw and not using a lion instead of a gryffin for gryffindor ?
Last comment: what is nice about the light up wand is you can lretend it is yours (don’t mean taking credit for someone’s work) in a production like PUFFS where it is made up of fictional characters interacting with the harry potter’s characters. For a cheap price, you can have a wand that lights up and is original to you and your character.
Well I have to stay with the fakes. Every item costs four times more in my case (1 dolar costs around 4,5 Polish zł) so to buy one of noble wands I have to spend around 180 zł whitch is A LOT. I know that originals are better but they are too expensive for me, especially if the only thing I do with them is to put it on the shelf. My George wand looks extremly close to the original so I’m quite happy with it 😊
my kids apparently received top tier wands and have ruined the box and wands.... wish i would have have secretly switched for wish and kept them their collectables secret and safe
I bought the unauthorized wands from alibaba and it only costs around $8. They have 2 versions of the wands. The one you bought is the cheaper version with cheaply made box, while there’s another version with similar ollivanders box, velvet lining and ribbon inside.
I have the straight out of Azkaban shirt and you can't wash it without it wrinkling the screen print and you cannot iron it because it will stick to your iron
Fact tidbit about the Wish Marauder’s Map: It’s a knockoff of the one from Film Wizardry. Its construction is the same. But Noble Collection also produced a mini map for a boxed DVD set more than a decade ago, which is a bit wider. And for the accessories, they’re mostly knockoffs of the stuff that were produced for Noble/BioWorld/Universal. Earlier releases of the knockoffs are better in quality than the ones produced later (which are copies of the copies, and so the quality goes does along the line).
I like that you don't knock the unauthentic items and instead you acknowledge that they're still useful!
Is that a reference to Cherry Wallis 😅
@@fantasticpotterheadsandwhe9431 Hey! She liked some of the cheap ones...
@@lazyhomebody1356 wasn't it just the time Turner that she liked. I remember her dropping a wand and cracking a sickle.
me too i really like that he acknowledges that they're still decent, especially for people that dont have $50 to spend on time turners/wands/and other noble collection items. some people dont have the budget but still would love to own something that looks like an original
@@Faye-vr6jc yes and Peter respects that but some others don't
I feel the smaller map is more authentic to the books. In the books, the map is described as a scrap of parchment.
You could probably stain it with tea or coffee for a better coloration.
It’s a piece of parchment, but it folds out to be bigger.
Only Potterheads and subscribers here BTW u are The BEST
You are too!

Little tip when you order clothing on wish; ALWAYS, AAAALWAAAAYS look at the sizing chart on that particular item.

I am pretty sure Wish's designer watch these videos. Wands used to be shorter and now they are longer 🤣 Good stuff as always!
usually its hard to beat noble collection but when it comes to Tom Riddle's diary, the cheaper versions from ebay are more realistic.
1st) It has publisher name on the first page (Winstansley)
2nd) Diary from the movies have engraved name like cheap version, while NC has a tag with the name pasted
3rd) NC version even looks more expensive but do recall Tom was poor and its safe to assume his diary was really cheap + with the cheaper item you can smudge it, stain it, put it in an oven and make it more to the true look from the movie while I wouldn't do that on NC version.

So about the robes, they are sized in Asian size which is much smaller than US or European size, so for an example, you wear a medium it will be a Large in Asian size, always order one size larger than actual.
Have you ever collabed with the SuperCarlinBrothers? They do Harry Potter quizzes and other hp stuff.
Yesss that would be cool !!
Really surprised with the wands! Specially with Nicholas Flamel’s one! I have bought a few thing in with that were disappointing but also others of really good quality 😊
I bought some things from wish in the past but now I much preffer joom instead of wish, with wish it takes at least 2 months or more for the items to arrive and the transport cost is too high for this. With joom the same items are a little bit expensive but the transport is free and including the original cost for the item and the transport it is cheaper from joom and the time to arrive is more faster, in 2 or 3 weeks will arrive and the location is also China (sorry for my English, it's not very good).
Omg this is the best Chanel I love all your videos so much! I have one question tough what’s you favorite Harry Potter is character? Mine is Severus Snape
Much better and fair comparisons this time. The clothing especially is generally sized WAY smaller than one would expect. Wish definitely is hit or miss and definitely has fake items but again, NOT all non Noble Collection branded brands mean they are fake. I do like that you said "and other authorized dealers" though. There are many brands other than Noble Collection that are authorized and licensed from Warner Brothers to sell quality wands and other HP merch. :) Noble Collection may be generally better quality but it's more of a preference than a true "real" vs "fake". None of the Noble Collection wands are made of real wood, so the argument could be made that they are technically fake too. lol. Both NC and many other brands are made of resin with a metal core the same way. Noble Collection wands are made in China in the same factories as other brands. Many other brands are licensed in some way to probably the same manufacturing factories; they are just distributed differently throughout the world for different markets and price points AND not all of other actual licensed and authorized brands and dealers have a stamp on the wand either so that's not necessarily a definitive sign it's "real" either. Again, it's a matter of preference in many cases. There's not only one true and all powerful definitive official source for "real" vs "fake". lol. Another point to remember too is that although NC has a good reputation for making quality replicas, they don't even produce all the wands from characters that are available either. There is so much more out there of great quality and authenticity too; even if wish's reputation is to sell some actual fake items. Obviously, if you prefer the Noble Collection brand (understandably so) then it's all good, but again, to say any other brand or distributor other than Noble Collection is fake and not official or authentic is just flat out wrong. Even the Noble Collection themselves has changed the color and shading of some of the character's wands on different year releases (Hermione being one) and that didn't make any previous years any less "authentic" or "accurate" did it? Thanks for being a little more researched this time though. :)
AVADA KADAVRA 💥💥lol lol lol,, I was laughing so much I would never forget that avada kadavra 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice video! Some really good products to wear/cosplay with. Because I don’t want to wear my noble items. But also some realy bad items.
I have the same chocolate frog keychain, I bought it a few years ago from aliexpress for 3-4 euro. I still really like it but 10 dollars is a bit to much for it.
Why they so similar tho-
We love you keep up the great content!
Or I will take you to the Chamber Of Secrets 😌😎🐍
Sorry I am Turkish I couldn't find a good joke 🤗
Hi
OMG PEOPLE LİKED MY COMMENT, REPLİED TO ME AND I GOT A HEART!? FROM THE KİNG!? the best day ever!!!!
I love that you are not throwing wish items from the cliff because they are fake. I've bought countless time from wish and I am satisfied with the items. You just have to think critically when you order. I had no problems and got exactly the items I've paid for.
Other cosplayers: confused wether to buy original or fake wands, debating it all the time
Fan wand makers: visible confusion
One of the most awaited video , was waiting for it ... thanks Peter for this info !!!
Glad you liked it!
Great video! So informative and that Nicholas Flamel's wand looks stunning!
love this video, really cool to see the differences and similarities between these products. i think would always opt for noble collection though.
BTW love your impression of shape, always makes me smile, it's the best 😁
Noble. Dose turn on but it changes brightness also
I cannot believe those fakes - I was quite surprised!
Your the best TH-camr ever
My brother got the WISH Ravenclaw diadem but from Amazon, It cost £11 shipped I believe. It was identical to the one that you bought and even the same packaging.
the light up wand is supposed to be Moodys staff
I've gotten the ravenclaw diadem tiara necklace and the chocolate frog card only , Fantastic beast charm bracelet and their cute sticker Pack, Sorting hat keychain, a face mask, platform 9 3/4 necklace, DA necklace, Luna Lovegood spectrespecs earrings, 3 hufflepuff necklaces, hufflepuff cushion case and Newt's scarf . They where all good . And yes all from wish 🥰
Glad you started this again
I have a fake Hermione wand, and it is very similar to the authentic, but after a year of having it, it began to break, the same happened to my brother with the Harry Potter fake wand.
I love this video. You did not ruin cheap things for us. Tnx
It’s annoying that my noble collection Nicolas flamels wand handle is cracked
Just saw one of my fav wand, umbridge's 😊😊😊😍😘
I am your crazy and your trustable fan. Its like I want all your collections and You are my favourite youtube. I would like to meet you. My name is bhavesh .You are a positive person and a good person.
Are you ready for the triwiz-
**puts on outfit**
I feel like Voldemort and the second dumbledore missed the mark with their characters. Voldemort was usually very calm and passionate with a cold sneer to his voice idk what that dude was going for but that’s not it. Dumbledore only lost his composure once in HBP in ever other book he spoke calmly and gently and as if he had every answer to any question
I do own all my wands from Ali express because I tend to use them more for photos and cosplays and appart from a Snape one I have all of the mare from such amazing quality
I love your beautiful collection and your videos please make a video on voldemort wand
Keep watching... 😄😉
I would love Hermione items, such as her Yule Ball Earrings and a necklace she wears with red gem stones. Theyre very expensive from Noble, but ridiculously cheap from Wish.
The "fake" ones would be better 4 younger witches and wizards.
Love your videos but why are u so focused on then using ravens instead of eagles for ravenclaw and not using a lion instead of a gryffin for gryffindor ?
If you'll turn your printed shirts inside out and wash and dry them the print last longer
Yay another video!!!! Keep entertaing us Peter !
Hey Peter if you were offered a role in Harry Potter movie what role would you have chosen (except the trio)
Last comment: what is nice about the light up wand is you can lretend it is yours (don’t mean taking credit for someone’s work) in a production like PUFFS where it is made up of fictional characters interacting with the harry potter’s characters. For a cheap price, you can have a wand that lights up and is original to you and your character.
Well I have to stay with the fakes. Every item costs four times more in my case (1 dolar costs around 4,5 Polish zł) so to buy one of noble wands I have to spend around 180 zł whitch is A LOT. I know that originals are better but they are too expensive for me, especially if the only thing I do with them is to put it on the shelf. My George wand looks extremly close to the original so I’m quite happy with it 😊
4:31 star wars fans: put that in a lightsaber
my kids apparently received top tier wands and have ruined the box and wands.... wish i would have have secretly switched for wish and kept them their collectables secret and safe
Would you ever buy a harry potter robe from Hot Topic? And would you please compare to universal ones
I bought the unauthorized wands from alibaba and it only costs around $8. They have 2 versions of the wands. The one you bought is the cheaper version with cheaply made box, while there’s another version with similar ollivanders box, velvet lining and ribbon inside.
I have the straight out of Azkaban shirt and you can't wash it without it wrinkling the screen print and you cannot iron it because it will stick to your iron
Iron it inside out so you iron doesn’t touch the print
Fact tidbit about the Wish Marauder’s Map: It’s a knockoff of the one from Film Wizardry. Its construction is the same. But Noble Collection also produced a mini map for a boxed DVD set more than a decade ago, which is a bit wider.
And for the accessories, they’re mostly knockoffs of the stuff that were produced for Noble/BioWorld/Universal. Earlier releases of the knockoffs are better in quality than the ones produced later (which are copies of the copies, and so the quality goes does along the line).
I'm liking this series! Also is so early for me to be laughing this hard. 😂 17:00
Glad you got a kick out of that. Haha! I was a little embarrassed but decided to leave it in.
I loved that part lmao🤣 it made my day
I have the Wish Time Turner, it's actually from eBay. It's amazing, and I love it!
I always wished they had Narcissa's wand came in a Olivander box
