Question I have from something in 'Secret History of the Wizarding Phenomenon'

Hi, I am currently reading the book and it's a very good read and very interesting and the level of detail in this is absolutely astounding!

I am on chapter eight where it talks about the Warner Bros. Studio Tour and it mentions "a wand on display signed by J.K. Rowling". I am very curious about this and I have visited the Studio Tour two times and I have not seen this. I have also tried to search this up and I found no information on it so I was wondering if anyone has any insight on this and whether is was present before and it is no longer featured there. Thanks for the help!
I am also planning to write a review on this book after I finished it and I would also like to say again that this book is a fascinating read and the effort that was clearly put into this is mind-blowing! Well done Rowling Library! I have learnt so much from this book and I still haven't even finished it!

Hello! First of all - thanks for your kind words about the book, I am really glad you are enjoying it!

Yes, there was a wand on display, the box was signed by JK Rowling. It was on the shop of the WB Studio Tour, at least it was on 2016 when I visited it. I don't know what happened, I guess it was removed? I will try to find on my archives if I took a photo of it!

Hi, thanks for the reply!
Am I correct in saying this is near the end of the tour based on the wands in the reflection? I personally didn't see it and I went to the Tour in December 2020 and September 2022. I think it's safe to assume they must have removed them between that time.

It was in the shop after the wands room (the ones that had names from the cast and crew). This was back in 2016 so I don't know if it changed, but it was just a glass box with some signed wand boxes. I think they were not for sale...
