From the epic and fantastical Harry Potter films is this incredibly rare, screen used VFX Wand used by Hermione Granger herself, Emma Watson. Measuring roughly 15 inches long, this wand is made of armatured urethane with ChromaKey tape at the end of the wand for green screen and VFX/CGI work. J. K. Rowling used a Celtic calendar to assign Hermione's wand wood based on her date of birth, as vine corresponds to those born between 2 September and 29 September. She did the same for Harry's wand and Ron's wand, as "a hidden connection" between the three friends. In the Celtic tree calendar, the vine is a symbol of passionate emotions in each extreme — both happiness and wrath. It was connected to the autumn equinox, when there are equal hours of darkness and light, and thus to balance, as well as to the harvest, a time of growth and achieving goals. In the Harry Potter films, Hermione's wand has a vine design from the third film onwards. In the first two films, Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, Hermione's wand is short with a black shaft and a light-coloured, chess piece-like handle. The reason for the change was that Alfonso Cuaron, the third film's director, wanted the wands to represent their owners more, and also to show that Hermione's wand was indeed made of vine. This extraordinary museum piece includes Celebrity Authentics Letter of Authenticity signed by Rupert Grint confirming item's on screen use and provenance. This listing's featured images picture the exact item you will receive. A fantastic piece that is so incredibly rare, you'd have to have Hermione's magic skill set to find another!
