Of course it's nicer. It's molded from the screen used original. :lol
You probably saw it if you've been to the park. (hence the joke).

Re: My Harry Potter replica collection - nowhere89
Sorry, didn't mean it that way. I've been working 18hrs a day for 4 weeks straight and just decided to have a little fun.
But no, I wasn't trying to one-up you. It was just meant as an inside joke about the prop replicas that Universal is offering at the parks. Obviously I'm a little too punch-drunk to be very funny, so I'll let you in on it.
I made most of the key props for the Wizarding World and we had discussions about taking molds from my work and offering them as high-end props to park goers. The joke is that they went from that high-quality concept to offering only mass produced toys instead. The reason that is funny is because of how much they scaled down the entire park from the original designs. The toy props are kind of analogous of how the whole project came together. Start with a big idea and then make it smaller, and smaller, and smaller, and smaller, and then Olivander's is now a broom closet.
It's still a cool prop collection, I'm not knocking you for that at all. I was just laughing at Universal.

Not at all. I was being very vague and cheeky and it was pretty clear why you would think that I was slamming you. It was my bad, not yours.
But back to the joke...
The Olivander's thing (at least I think that's the right name) was seriously funny. It was originally supposed to be a full sized walk-in shop with an interactive show. But week after week it kept getting scaled down until it was literally just a guy standing in front of a broom closet filled with boxes. They whittled that room down a foot at a time for six months until it wasn't even a room anymore.
But to put the joke back into perspective, this is the quiditch set your could have been getting if they hadn't scaled that down too.

That is a beautiful collection
You have a picture signed by Dan, Emma, and Rupert???!!!! COOL! out of everything you have, I only have Harry, Ron, and Hermione's wands, and the Gringotts coins. I want it all though! I've never been to WWoHP unfortunately

If you can't get to the WWoHP, they do offer a lot of the merch on their online store.

No kidding, the entire Wizarding World is too ****ing small. The floor space for each shop and area should be a minimum of double the current size. Ollivanders is patheticly small.
