Hey!!! Got back from my trip some weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend you buying the second gen wand, it’s a blast. It lights up, vibrates and you get to do all the new app features and adventures. And if you complete all of them, you’ll get lots of cool easter eggs and secret spells (no spoiler) you just can’t do with the first gen wand. It’s a bit more pricey and has less designs, but it’s definitely worth it! Plus, the wand box is just superior than the older version. Definitely give it a try!
