It's not the most international name, but people don't need to be reminded of our name after hearing it once.

Native English speakers pronouce it as OO-LEK-KEH and that's not bad. They emphasize on the first letter.

But should be more like the beginning when you say 'Olly' and sounds like Oll luh kuh.
Here is a audio file to assist you:

We don't really mind if you got it wrong, unless you are Dutch speaking. That wouldn't make any sense. So why did we teach you? You asked!

Olleke is the given name of Oliver, the owner. In the West Flemish Dialect (part of Dutch) 'olle' means 'everthing' and/or 'everyone' . Wordextensions -ke, -tje, -pje, -je are ways to make a Dutch word more adorable and tiny. We define this word as a 'cosy' word or to use Japanese: Kawaii. So we are petite and have something that everyone loves and everyone wants. That's how we define Olleke. Cuteness overload.

We try to reflect the life experiences of our audience by helping people enrich their imagination and be faithfull to create an enduring magical experience. We value and encourage curiosity, innovation, and ideas from everyone.

Olleke empathizes the needs of specific target groups; such as autists, children of divorced parents, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender people.

As a company we support and get involved with local organisations that help volunteers in the care sector and youth work. We truly believe voluntary work enriches your life.

We advise you using your international code (0032 for Belgium) (0031 for the Netherlands), (0044 for England) leave out the first zero and then your local number without any spaces, points of other symbols between the numbers. A Text Order confirmation is sent out within five minutes after you placed an order.

Yes, the prices are the same online as they are at our physical stores or when we attend a Fair.

Yes they do. Chocolate Frog Cards (also known as Famous Witches and Wizards Cards) are trading cards that display pictures of famous witches and wizards and give small amounts of information about them. The Cards are obtained by buying Chocolate Frogs, the container of which has a random card inside.

Chocolate Frog - with authentic film packaging (Themepark Exclusive, pentagonal packaging)

A delicious frog shaped confection of solid milk chocolate, each 150g piece comes in an ornately decorated pentagonal box with wizard card. Cards exhibit 3 dimensional movement. The randomly distributed Chocolate Frog Card™ will include a biography of either a Hogwarts™ House Founder: Godric Gryffindor™, Salazar Slytherin™, Helga Hufflepuff™, and Rowena Ravenclaw™ or Hogwarts™ Headmaster Albus Dumbledore™, Gilderoy Lockhart™, Hengist of Woodcroft, Bertie Bott™, Jocunda Sykes, Devlin Whitehorn or Garrick Ollivander™.

This item is exclusive for the themeparks and for Europe production takes place in Germany. It's one of the bestselling products of the themepark.

Chocolate Frog Replica

The Noble Collection Chocolate Frog replica always comes with the Albus Dumbledore card. The frog and case is made from plastic. They also have a plush version, keychain version and ceramic replica.

This item is produced in China.

Chocolate Frog with crisped rice (rectangular packaging)

JellyBelly, the American company behind the famous beans, produces Harry Potter Chocolate Frogs. The old packaging was purple and contained ONE of the 16 illustrated Witches and Wizards. They are not produced anymore.

The newest white packaging contains Collectible Wizard cards simular to the moving photos from the pentagonal packaging. One of which will be included in your Chocolate Frog package: Albus Dumbledore,  Hengist of Woodcroft, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin, Gilderoy Lockhart, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw and Jocunda Sykes.

This item is produced in Thailand and imported for Europe through Germany. Distribution in Belgium started early 2017.

Luna's first wand was made from oak and decorated with acorns. You can't buy Luna's first wand seperately. At this point it is not sold in a single box as an official product, anywhere. Only her second wand (the darker Tulip shaped one) is sold as a single.

Her first wand is still produced as part of Dumbledore Army Wand Collection. The only way to posses an official replica of her wand is to buy this item. The only reason (but this is just a wild guess) is that this item could be less sold because all the other wands are available as a single, making Luna's first wand an exclusive attribute of this product.

The first wand of Bellatrix is sold along with her deatheaters mask in miniature scale and a fancy wall display. You can find it here.

In the Warner Bros Studio Tour and Universal Studios her wand is sold in a plain grey wand box. The item is exclusive for the theme parks. The Noble Collection procuded her wand in a single blister packaging, without name tag and wand box, as a mass market product. As we are a store for collectors, we don't sell these cheaper looking versions. The 'broken' snatcher wand of Harry Potter is very simular, it's just missing a black coating.

No they are not. The heat-sensitive paint used for heat and cold colour changing products will peel off when it's heated at ultra high temperature or placed in a dishwasher. Usually the image will have cracks, bubbles between the two layers of stop changing color after incorrect use. You loose your guarantee on the product, as this safe guide is mentioned on the packaging of your product.

Wash your mugs and drinking glasses by hand with a regular dishwasher detergent. Heat change takes place when the liquid is 60°C or more. Cold change will take will take when the liquid is a few degrees lower then room temperature. You can add ice cubes to hold the effect for a longer time.

In our shop you'll find only official products, so you don't have to worry about this. But when you have doughts, it's always a good idea to google and see if any other webshops sell the same product. Some large webshops do sell products created by fans.  In that case it's unofficial.

Almost all products have a copyright or trademark claim on the packaging or on the product itself. This claim mentions Warner Bros, Disney, ... sometimes the packaging has a holographic sticker. Every product in Europe must mention the address of the company who produced the item, in case something would be wrong. In most European countries the packaging must state where the product is produced. If this information is not on the package and no other (official) online store sells the item it's likely to be fake.

In general most Harry Potter products come in a white packaging with Daily Prophet text on (products designed in 2018 come in blue and parchement packaging and products before that have a random look).

The Hogwarts House colours are not specified in the official guidelines for each coloursystem and that's why you will see a lot of different shades in apparel, notebooks, pins because it's not specified by Warner Bros. Brighter versions of crest colours are sold and produced to/by more Medditerranean countries. In Northern Europe the colours are saturated and have a more vintage look.

You may always email us to see if we can provide the same item for your convenience on our site.
Please note that we only sell official licensed products.

If one of our products is out of stock we will have it on order to our warehouse, meaning it will likely be back in with the next delivery. Sometimes there may be a shortage from our manufacturing plant so products will be out of stock for longer, from weeks to months. If this is the case then unfortunately we won’t be able to provide you with details of its return.

We are unable to provide name clips or wand boxes separately from the wands. The name clips come with the Character wands only, not with the Ollivander’s wands.

We used to sell Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Soda in bottles, but at this point we don't sell this American product. The importer stopped distributing end of 2018. The product is still available in United Kingdom.

Apparel sold in our shop is only in adult sizes, the smallest size is XS.

The only product that we sell in a Children Size are Hogwarts ties and the Wizard Robes. Stock in XS is limited or has to be pre-ordered.

No due to technical reasons it's not possible to break every wand in the same way and repair them. A replica needs to look true to the original and for this wand it was not possible in production. However, you can buy the unbroken version. We don't take responsibility for your intentions to snap and repair it.

Keep jewellery away from water, lotions, sunscreen and store it away from (direct) sunlight in a dry place.
Clean and polish your jewellery with a dry cloth.

For your peace of mind, all Couture Kingdom (Disney) and The Carat Shop / Swarovski (Harry Potter) products are sold with a 12 month repair or replacement warranty. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality.

Every product looks like it appears on our screens. But all screens are different. This means colours and tones of actual products could look different to what you see on your screen. Apart from colour and tone, they’ll be exactly the same.

Some larger objects are scaled down (ex. Mirror of Erised) compared to the movie version for economic and transport reasons.

Olleke is an official stockist of Funko. We buy vinyl Pop figures from Funko Europe. Each week we recieve a list of items in stock and get news of items that will be released in the future. When a certain figure is sold out, it takes a few months before it's reproduced. A batch of one figure is around 13.000 pcs and ships from Vietnam or China.

Larger companies order a container of each figure. Making it possible that the desired item comes in stock at a major supermarket, but is still unavailable for us.

When an item sells slow it's not likely to be reproduced. These products can be sold to discounters at a low price.

People get upset when a pre-order doesn't arrive on time. That's why we only sell Funko POP!'s we have in store and don't use pre-orders for this brand. When a 'sold out' POP is still online, it means it will be back in stock after a few months. You can use the 'out of stock' notice. When we recieve the item, you are the first to get a notice it's in. We remove all items that won't come back in stock.

We sell exclusives that may be sold in Europe.

Funko makes deals with mainly American, British, Australian and Canadian brands for exclusive and bespoke items. These products are not to be sold outsite this area. The only way to buy it as a customer is to go through an international online store that is willing to sell it directly.

Sometimes the same POP! comes in stock for Europe as a 'special edition'. The figure is the same as the 'exclusive' but the packaging has no stickers to claim it or has different stickers on the packaging.

Exclusives are not announced, so we don't know beforehand. The stock is limited or restricted to one box of 6pcs.

A pre-order is an item we don't have in stock, but you can pre-order it. There are 3 reasons

1. We had stock, but the last item is sold in one of our shops and we have to re-order it.
2. It's a new product that we have ordered, but it hasn't been released yet. Look for 'ETA' to get an estimated time of arrival.
   
3. We order the item especially for you, but we won't order it ourself by default, because it's too large or too expensive or too specific (like a ring size). Depending on the product you could ask us an ETA.
   

If needed we can suggest products. Please contact us and mention your budget, the age of the person the gift is for and the occasion.

But then again, the wand chooses the wizard. Although most people start a wand collection with Dumbledore (the elder wand), Hermione, Harry and Voldemort. If it's the second wand you might consider Snape, Sirius, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley.

If you are uncertain about the wands, go for Bertie Botts, Chocolate Frogs and Hogwarts or Dobby themed items. You'll be save, even if your a muggle who knows nothing about Harry Potter! Oh and don't go for Gryffindor theme if you really have no idea what to get. You should leave the sorting over to the Sorting Hat.

Yes, as you know he had to give his wand to Voldemort to test the loyalty of him and the wand. After this he has a very modest wand that looks like a copy of Molly Weasleys' wand.

His black wand with the snake comes with a walking stick. This cane can be found here. Due to the size and weight it isn't sold separately.

The second wand can be found here. Check out all Lucius Malfoy products on our site.

All notebooks are ruled. Blank notebooks are rare, at this point only the replica of Tom Riddle Diary is blank. But that's not an ideal sketchbook, is it?

As a wizard you are responsible for your wand.

As a muggle you get no guarantee that your wand will work.

With great power comes great responsibility.

The Art Director of the Harry Potter Films made a master copy of each final designed wand, made a mould and replace it in resin. Duplicates were used on the set and reproduced in case a wand broke and rubber versions were made for stunt work. All the wands you see in the movies are made entirely from resin.

Resin is a solid substance of synthetic origin that is convertible into polymers, giving the object a certain weight. Resin in liquid form is semi transparent, like the resin coming-out of a tree bark. Unlike plastic, resin weights more and breaks when you drop it, so be carefull with it. After the liquid is poured into a mould, like plaster, it turns out a white colour. The resin wand is overpainted by hand to make accurate reproductions. Detailed props out of wood would be incredibly expensive, because no piece of wood is the same. Some companies produce 'Harry Potter' wands out of wood, most of them are a bit chunky to reduce breaking points in the wood, but these products are unofficial whetever they claim.

You can make your own wand. The perfect size of a wooden wand should be the lenght of your pointing finger till your inner elbow. You should ask permission of the tree before cutting a branch to make your wand. Sand and Polish the wood or leave some of the bark and decorate it with your own symbols, colours or other ornaments. You can make a small hole with a hidden place into the core, where you can store some unicornhair or phoenix feather.

If your a wizard: absolutely. Isn't that nice!

Yes we do. We have Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore and from September 2019 also Voldemort. You can find them here.

Well, you will need a lot of black fabric to make a robe. Based on a fabric length of 1m35, you will need aprox. 6 meter of black fabric to make the L size robe, the tapered arms, the pointy hat, inner wand pocket and 3 meter of house colour fabric for the inner part of the robe and inner part of the attached hat. You will also need a house crest shield patch, two black fabric buttons and a black elastic band.

Harry Potter received one from Minerva McGonagall, when he joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team as the new Seeker. He owned it for two years until the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff Quidditch match in November 1993. Harry fell off the broom when dementors appeared on the pitch, and it struck the Whomping Willow. Later, when Harry asked about his broomstick, Ron uncovered the damaged remains in the Hospital Wing, the broom having been reduced to splinters.

The Nimbus 2000 reproduction was limited to 10.000 copies worldwide. The price was set at 495 EUR and you'll have to find it second hand, as it's not available anymore. It is 177cm long, made from black wood  with metal plaque of authenticity numbered.

Only the Nimbus 2001 and the Firebolt are still reproduced.

We all have some aspects of each house, but there is always one that is dominant. You are sorted based on traits you idealize, admire or have inside of you that need to be drawn out. Percy was in Gryffindor rather than Slytherin because he needed to be reminded of the importance of bravery rather than having his ambition groomed. Hermione was in Gryffindor because she needed to learn that books and rules aren’t the most important thing in the world. Luna is a Ravenclaw because she values individualism and creativity, rather then being intelligent. Hufflehuffs are kind by nature or need to work on this skill. There is no wrong or right house to be in, since everthing in nature is balanced out perfectly. You just have to stay true to yourself.

When Lily Potter gave up her life to protect her son, she unknowingly placed a “love protection” spell on Harry which protected him from Voldemort. Since Voldemort was conceived while his father was under a love spell, Tom is unable to feel/understand love in any form - which is why this sacrifice protected Harry from him. When Petunia put her child with her sister aside to accept her orphaned nephew into her home, she sealed that “love protection” which made it impossible for both Voldy and his death eaters to find him whilst in the muggle world (until the seventh book when the Dursleys fled their home, and Harry leaves it with no intention of returning to it. Which is why he always had to return during summer break).

 After they exit the Chamber of Secrets, Gilderoy Lockhart is transported to St Mungo’s (the Wizarding hospital). The Wizarding World doesn’t really have any way of treating or caring for those with mental health problem, so wizards like Lockhart (and Neville’s parents, who we meet in this chapter as well), get sent to the hospital. So the wizards just kind of sit there. Neville’s parents were tortured into insanity and when we meet his parents, they are incoherent and keep on giving Neville gum wrappers. His transportation to St Mungo's was left out of the filmscript.

Voldemort hates muggles. Everything about them, therefore he would never even consider getting the job done the muggle way. So he attempts to kill the baby with magic, which epically backfires. And from a writing perspective you don't have much to tell if your main character dies (unless he is reborn or memorised by his loved ones or becomes a vampire or creature that keeps on living).

The actual reason the position cannot stay filled is because Voldemort cursed the position. When he was still Tom Riddle, he was after the job himself but was denied and, as we all know, he does not take losing well. So he placed a curse/jinx on the position, which was lifted in 1998 when he died. We believe Hogwarts has a job opening.

Dementors feed equally off innocent and guilty people in Azkaban. Dementors only joined Voldemort after his return. When he returned to a body, he said the Dementors ‘will join’ them (the Deatheaters), indicating they hadn’t already joined them before. Dementors have no true loyalty. They aren’t reluctant to feed on ‘evil’ or ‘dark’ people in general. They’re equally willing to feed off of Death Eaters as they are anyone else. Though the Dark Lord says the Dementors are their natural allies, this doesn’t mean that they’re truly loyal to him or won’t feed on Death Eaters or should set him free if Voldemort would be imprisoned - it only means that they’d be willing to join him because he’d supply them with more victims than they could either get from working with the Ministry remaining on their own.

More then 70 languages. For a list see here.

Some translations, such those to the extinct Latin and Ancient Greek languages, were done as academic exercises.  In some countries the book has been translated into several local languages or two dialects of the same language.

In translation your Gryffindor house is called Rohkelikko in Finnish, Slytherin is Zwadderich in Dutch, Ravenclaw is Serdaigle in French, Huffelpuff is Tassorosso in Italian. It's quite confusing, because also personal names and names of animals are translated.

For Dutch translations see this list.
