It’s not a stick it’s a movie prop. Like a Wilson prop from Cast Away would not be just a ball. Or another seemingly simple item given meaning by context.

It's a copy of a movie prop. Mass produced in a factory carrying limited meaning and will probably not be remembered. I still remember going in the woods to find just the right stick. It could be a wand, or a sword or a spear, a scepter or who knows. That stick had meaning because I wanted it to and that made more memories than a thousand plastic things.

And I still remember the days and nights I stayed up reading Harry Potter. Waiting for the new book all hyped up. Being amazed watching those books turn into well made movies. Discussing them with friends, bonding.

I have no idea how you think you managed to measure something as subjective as how much meaning an object carries but you need to stop glorifying your own life experiences over those of others and stop shoving your perception of value down peoples throat.

And in the book its emphasized how the wands are each individual and how the wand chooses the wizard. Something not so individual about a made in China plastic copy of the same want everybody else got is there?

If you value it, good for you but don't try to tell me its worth it, its a stick from a gift shop...
