The detailing is quite nice, perhaps not elderberry, and the characters aren't on a piece of paper or parchment like a real elderberry wand might be, although it is so is still a good wand. The weight feels amazing, it's of a weight that will probably surprise you. I like it. As far as I know, not a single detail is missing from the replica. So, despite the little physical details I've mentioned, this is probably the best elderberry wand you'll ever get your hands on.
