Why am I sorted in the wrong house?

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.

Into how many languages was Harry Potter translated?

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.

Would dementors set Voldemort free?

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.

Why Do 'The Defense Against The Dark Arts' Teachers Keep On Disappearing?

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.

Whatever Ever Happened To Lockhart?

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.

Why Did Harry Live With The Dursleys?

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).

Are the Harry Potter wands made out of wood?

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.

Why is there a Harry Potter Shop in Bruges?

Because unlike other local entrepreneurs we think Brugge (Bruges) has more to offer then Chocolate, Beer, Waffles, French Fries, Mussels, Beer, Chocolate, Lace, More Beer and more Waffles with whipped cream and strawberries dipped in beertasting chocolate. So don't get upset that we do something different! Embrace for what we are: one of a kind. (well we have two shops, so two of a kind) Because The Noble Collection who produces the wands, robes and almost all Harry Potter movie replica's is based in Belgium and distributes all Harry Potter items throughout Europe. That's why. Because a lot of grownups in Belgium are superfans of Harry Potter. We sell mostly to locals. They drive accross the country to visit our store. Because we simply like to sweep you of your feet and leave a hole in your holiday budget. How slytherin of us. Because they didn't film any part of the movie in Bruges, and they should have ! Our small provincial capital looks so damn fine on screen and IRL. We would have made a perfect Harry Potter-ish setting. Because we knew you would visit us. So you are very welcome to check us out! Because doing something unlogical a day releases stress, making you age slower and more beautiful. Proven by Laboratoire Olleke. Because you're too serious and we are siriusly weird and wonderfull? Because. Yes the secret is out: Harry Potter is filmed in Bruges and he is from Belgium. cool

How can I recognize an official Harry Potter product?

In our shop you'll find 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.

What does Olleke mean?

There are several ways to define 'Olleke'. One: it's a Dutch version of 'Olly', a nick for Oliver. Olleke is owned by Oliver, so we could have been 'Olly' or 'Oliver'. Second: It's the first word of a Dutch riddle. Like 'Eenie' from 'Eenie Meenie Miney Mo', Dutch say 'Olleke Bolleke Rebusolleke' Third: In the Dutch dialect of West-Flanders 'Olle' means 'every' like in the words 'everyone' (ollemolle) and 'everything' (olles). As you may know the Dutch language uses a lot of diminutives. Extensions -ke, -tje, -pje, -je, -nkje, -etje at the end of a word, are ways to make a Dutch word more adorable and tiny. In a way these words makes people smile and bring joy, just like the Japanese discription Kawaii. So Olle-ke is petite and we have something that everyone loves and everyone wants. That's how we define Olleke. Cuteness overload.

Can you buy the wand of Lucius Malfoy?

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.

The second wand can be found here.

How do I make a Wizard Robe?

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. Ofcourse, you can also buy the product from our store.

Can you buy the first wand of Luna Lovegood?

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.

Can you buy the first wand of Bellatrix Lestrange?

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.

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.

Can you buy the broken wand of Ron Weasley?

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.
