Harry Potter Wand

The Harry Potter wand with the light up whenever you tap something is 30$ in the Barnes & Noble store. It could be a very good flashlight, but the battery runs out quick and the top of the wand can come off. You can also always lose the key to open the bottom of the wand to put in the batteries, so you end up using something typical: A screwdriver. What do you do with a wand, anyway? When you wave your wand and pretend to say "Lumos", it lights up. Your child could have some fun with it for a few days...but then what?
